Hi everyone and welcome to my new fic called, “The Greatest Surprise Party Hell has Ever Seen!!” as the newest addition to my Greatest in Hell AU. 

This is the fourth part of this series, so if you haven’t read the previous part I highly recommend you do as storylines and character arcs from the previous parts will continue on here. But if you choose not to its okay, as this part takes place twenty years later and a lot of things have changed and the first chapter will be mostly dedicated to filling in the gaps between when Part 3 ended and where we are now in the story. 

So we are twenty years in the future and Alastor and Lucifer are preparing a surprise birthday party for this kids Alicia and Lucius Morningstar! Will this party go smoothly? Have they finally broken their bad luck streak with parties being crashed? Lets find out, shall we…

*————————————————————————*

Today was another happy day in Hell! 

The Morningstar family was currently staying at the Hazbin Hotel for two weeks. Alicia and Lucius’ birthday was coming up, so Lucifer and Alastor were taking some time off from ruling so they could spend it with their family. And staying at the hotel helped to keep the twins distracted while him, Alastor, Charlie, and the others planned a surprise birthday party for them. 

Lucifer slowly opened his eyes and stared at the red ceiling above him. He rubbed his eyes with his hands and then looked over at a sleeping Alastor beside him, twenty years of being married and he still loved waking up with his husband next to him. 

Yep, twenty years had passed since Lucifer and Alastor had made the deal binding them together for all of eternity, and in one week’s time, their babies would be twenty years old too. And Many things had changed down in Hell in those twenty years. 

*————————————————————————*

Charlie had long since ended her reign as crown princess of Hell, as her father and Alastor took up rulership again. They took their jobs very seriously, and got to work on improving Hell for everyone. And even though Lucifer, Alastor, and the twins lived primarily at the Morningstar Manor, Charlie always kept their old towers at the Hotel tidy, in case they ever wanted to stay over. 

And yes, Vaggie and Charlie had gotten married fifth-teen years ago. Lucifer had helped Vaggie pick out the perfect ring for her to ask Chalrie to marry her, and of course Charlie had said yes. Their ceremony was beautiful, and Lucifer was more than happy to finally have Vaggie officially join the family. He got to walk Charlie down the aisle while ironically Alastor got to walk Vaggie down, with Alicia and Lucius as their ring bearers. She became Vaggie Morningstar, and binded her soul to Hell after their marriage. 

But one of the biggest changes, was that  Husk and Angel had moved out of the Hazbin Hotel. Husk wanted to open his own casino again, only this time he’d put a lot more emphasis on the bar, filing up the menu with several of his custom made cocktails, and the entertainment, which Angel was in charge of. Though they didn’t move very far…..because they built the bar only a couple dozen feet away from the Hotel. Adding a sister building to the little hill where the Hotel resides at the edge of Pentagram City. 

They lived primarily at the bar but would always come to have dinner at the hotel with everyone their friends. And Charlie always kept a spare room just for them on the same floor as all the main hotel residents lived, just in case. And Niffty insisted on being the cleaning lady for the maid for the casino as well. And of course, Niffty and Baxter had gotten closer over the years, and Baxter begrudgingly answered to begin Niffty’s boyfriend. 

Another great surprise was Emily’s engagement to Abel! After they decided to start dating after more years of mail correspondence, Abel decided that he wanted to be together with Emily full time. So he packed his bags and left Heaven in favor of the realm down below. That was around six years ago. 

And while it took a few months for Abel to get used to his new home, new family, and new job that Charlie gave him at the hotel. He learned to love his new home, and became a somewhat of an elder brother to Lucius and Alicia. And while he was sweating buckets throughout his entire conversation with Lucifer and Alastor when he asked for their blessing so he could propose to Emily, Lucifer was very accepting of him being the eight Morningstar. Even if the knowledge of him being Adam’s son still made him a bit uncomfortable. 

Emily became the head of the new Heaven embassy in Hell, where sinners could send letters to family members in Heaven that had been successfully tracked down, thanks to the help of St Peter and other Saints in Heaven. Lucifer and Alastor used their usual methods, completely tore apart what was left of the old embassy to built it up again in a brand new way. It wasn’t a golden reminder of impending extermination anymore, now it was a center of contention between the people of both realms, though the actual number of corespondents was small. 

Stolas was one of Lucifer’s advisors, he helped Lucifer settle disputes among the classes of Hell, and petty conflicts between members of the Goetia family. Even Octavia had a role in the king’s cabinet, she was in charge of carrying out Stolas’s old duties with his Grimoire. While Loona, Blitz, Millie, and Moxxie worked under Lucifer as a special decisions group. They would help settle disputes that required more aggressive negotiation tactics, and also the occasional mission on Earth even. 

Fizzarolli still worked at Lulu World, now in charge of all park operations and training new performers. While Carlos had retired from the park and became the official Royal portrait maker, and he would travel all across Hell to paint portraits of important events. 

As for the Hazbin Hotel…Charlie was thrilled that her new mission was proving to be successful. The hotel was almost at full capacity now! 

Most residents were new sinners who hadn’t been in Hell for very long. Chalrie and the gang would give them a crash course on living in Hell, and strongly advised everyone against selling their souls. But some residents were older sinners, who wanted to improve their lives. The ones who stood out the most was a group of siblings called Hatched, Fitch, Marx, and Malcom. 

And Charlie kept trying her best to spread her message to all sinners, to get everyone to collaborate to make their realm better. Even Alastor, did his best to keep the peace between the overlords.  

And as for Heaven? Lucifer had kept exchanging letters with Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel and Azrael. And he had even been in contact with Cassiel and Ramiel. But almost nothing from Michael, only a few letters a year. True to his twins’ word, he hadn’t shown his face in Hell in the past twenty years. And Lucifer wasn’t certain if he felt hurt of relieved by that. 

*————————————————————————*

“Good morning darling!” Alastor said when he opened his eyes and noticed that his husband was already awake. “Have you been up for long?” 

Lucifer looked down from the ceiling and rolled his body to the side to face his husband. “No” he said with a small smile. 

Alastor examined his husband’s features and immediately knew that something plagues his mind. He stretched out his hand and rubbed it against Lucifer’s cheek. “What’s bothering you dear?” 

Lucifer’s eyes went wide. Alastor’s ability to read him so easily never ceased to be impressive. He took in a deep breath, “I can’t believe the twins are turning twenty…” 

“Me neither…I never thought I’d be a parent, but getting to witness them grow makes me enjoy begin one” Alastor said sincerely.

Lucifer gave him a sad smile, “I know. But….watching them grow and do things together makes me…it-it makes me think of Michael” he whispered that last part. 

Usually whenever anyone brought up Michael, and Lilith, Alastor’s would feel irritated. He hated Lilith to the core, and hasn’t fully forgiven Michael for all the harm he had caused his family. He didn’t even care about all the shit Lilith put him through when she still owned him, but he would rip her apart for all the pain she caused Lucifer and the stunt she pulled at their baby shower if she managed to get out of Heaven’s prison. But right now he would keep calm and listen, “What about him?” 

Lucifer sighed, “I hope that Ally and Luci don’t turn out like us. I hate Michael but don’t at the same time. I miss him but don’t at the same time. I just hope that our kids are always friends, I don’t want them to end up like me and Michael.” 

Alastor grabbed onto Lucifer’s hand, “And they won’t, we’ve raised them to be better. They’ll never break apart.” 

“I hope so” Lucifer squeezes his hand. 

“And if they do Charlie will put them in a get along shirt until they agree to get along” and both of them burst out laughing. Lucifer loved it when Alastor made silly jokes like that, he was still the feared radio demon but he was also different from back when they had first started dating. 

“That’s so true” he wheezed, and they both got silent after they were done laughing. 

They were quietly enjoying their shared warmth on the bed until Lucifer spoke up, “Sooo how we feeling about the party tomorrow?” 

Alastor hummed, “Well we’ve had a good steak since the baby shower, no more surprise guests.” Which was true, the last twenty years worth of parties, weddings, and gathering had been crash free. 

“I’ve always sent out invitations to everyone in Heaven, your mom, Gabe, Ralph, Uri, Azrael, and the others all confirmed they’re coming” Lucifer said enthusiastically. Sometimes he almost found it hard to believe that he was actually looking forward to seeing everyone from above after centuries of hating each other. 

“And no word for Michael?” Alastor asked. 

“No..” Lucifer felt a little disappointed, sure Michael always sent a little gift and card but he never showed up himself. Lucifer wasn’t even sure if he knew what his niece and nephew looked like, but it was better than worrying that he’d come to take his kids away. Silence was better than fear he supposed. 

“If be decided to show up I don’t mind as long as he brings a gift this time and doesn’t destroy any cakes” Alastor said, which was true, he was tired of his cakes being destroyed without being enjoyed by their guests. 

The mention of cake make Lucifer nearly jump of the bed, “Oh and I’ve already made chocolate ducks for the cake, it’s gonna be perfect!” 

Alastor leaned up against the headboard, “Aren’t they old for ducks on their cake?” 

Lucifer threw a pillow at his husband’s face, “How dare you, no one is too old for ducks!” 

Alastor dodged the pillow easily, “I’m only teasing you dear.” 

“Good, or I’d divorce you” Lucifer threatened. 

Alastor rolled his eyes and began getting up from the bed, “You can’t divorce me.” 

Lucifer got up after him, “I’m the king I can do whatever I want.” 

Alastor smirked, “Fine, then make your own pancakes for breakfast.” 

Lucifer pouted and crossed his arms, “Fine, I’ll stay with you.” He was good at making pancakes himself, but Alastor was an absolute master in the kitchen. 

“Good choice dear” Alastor hummed and walked towards their closet to change clothes. 

“Are the kids still sleeping?” Lucifer asked as he followed along.

Alastor summoned his shadow from behind him, “Go check on Ally and Luci for us would you.” The shadow nodded and went into the kid’s room to check on them. When the shadow returned it whispered into Alastor’s ear. 

“They are still in bed sleeping” he declared. 

They both quickly got changed, and once they were done Lucifer dragged Alastor towards the door, “Great, let’s head down then!” 

“Why the hurry” Alastor nearly fell to the trough trying to keep up with Lucifer’s pace. 

Lucifer stopped in his tracks to explain, “Well we still have to figure things out with the girls. We need to bring in the decorations and stuff for the party today, and set it up, and find a way to keep them distracted so they don’t find out yet.”  

Alastor nodded as he listened and then ruffled Lucifer’s hair, “I’m sure you’ll figure it out dear” he said and walked past his husband. 

“You’re not helping?” Lucifer asked in pure confusion, how could he say that he won’t help set up his own children’s party? 

Alastor looked at Lucifer like he was the crazy one, “I have a meeting with the overlords today, or did you forget dear?” 

Lucifer blinked for a few times, “Right? I…..okay I totally forgot, can’t you skip it?” 

“Can you skip a meeting with the deadly sins?”

“Well I did miss like seven years of meetings soo..”

“I’m serious Lucifer” Alastor gave him a stern look, “As Prince Consort I have to stay updated on all that the overlords are doing.” 

Lucifer crossed his arms, “Like you already didn’t do that as the plain old radio demon.” 

Alastor scoffed, “I’m still the radio demon, just have a crown and a ring now.” 

“And what else?” Lucifer pressed on. 

“And the power to make them all obey me unless they want my husband to get involved” Alastor stated proudly.

Lucifer tilted his head, “You use me as a scary dog privilege?”

Alastor laughed, “Of course not, I’m the scary dog if anything.” 

Lucifer punched his arm, but not with any strength to actually hurt him. “You asshole, you are so lucky I love you or you’d be halfway to sloth ring by now.” 

Alastor chuckled and took Lucifer’s left hand onto his and brought it up to his lips. He kissed Lucifer’s hand right above where his wedding ring sat. “Yes I do consider myself lucky in that regard” he made the poor angel blush, his entire face turning gold. 

“O-Okay, let’s go then” Lucifer stammered as they both began to make their way to the kitchen, hands still intertwined. “I guess a few things don’t change” Lucifer thought as he smiled brightly at his husband. 

Time to prepare the greatest surprise party in all of Hell!

Chapter Text

When Alastor had sent his shadow to see if the twins were still asleep, the shadow simply peaked thought he wall to see if the two of them were still in their beds. But who said that they were aware they were being watched. 

After the shadow left, a pair of yellow dear ears perked up from underneath the covers. “Are they gone yet?” Came a hushed female voice. 

Then a fluffy koala jumped onto the bed enthusiastically and nodded his head. And so, the female removed the covers. 

Alicia Morningstar stretched out her hand to pet the top of the koala’s head, “Thank you Static.” 

When the twins were toddlers Lucifer finally brought the goat and koala plushies he had made to live. The koala bonded well to Alicia who named him Static, while the goat was named Glitz by Lucius. 

Alicia got up from her bed, she picked up a pillow and threw it at Lucius’ bed. “You may get up now Lucius.” 

The boy shook under his covers, “I know, but I’m still resting” came his static voice. Which unlike Alastor’s, Lucius’ voice was not a filter but his actual voice. 

Alicia rolled her eyes, “You can rest later, we have things to do.” 

Lucius stirred but reluctantly started getting up from his bed too, “Such as?” 

Alicia walked over to the closet they were sharing for the week, “Such as find a way to avoid being in the hotel today..” 

Lucius rubbed his eyes and walked over to the close as well, “And why can’t we stay here?” 

Alicia took a gown from one of the hangers in the closet into her hands. “Because they’re planning our surprise party” she said nonchalantly. 

Lucius made a surprised face and placed the back of his hand over his forehead. “Gasp! What surprise party are you referring to oh dear sister of mine?” He said in fake surprise. 

Alicia rolled her eyes playfully, “You know, the one they definitely aren’t throwing for our twentieth birthday.” 

Even though they were twenty, physically the twins were still children sized, resembling what a human ten year old would look like. Due to their angelic blood they aged much slower than humans and even other hell born species. 

Lucius sighed as he grabbed a a shirt and pair of pants from the closet. “Yeah they really need to get better at keeping secrets.” 

His sister shrugged, “Well father hasn’t given any hints, it’s mostly dad and Charlie who need to control their excitement…”

Since Lucifer was already accustomed to being referred to as dad by Charlie, Vaggie and Emily, he kept that title when it came to the twins. While Alastor was referred to as papa when they were still learning to speak, and that evolved into father. 

Alicia took all her clothing items in the bathroom to change, while Lucius stayed in their shared room to change his own clothes. “So what do you think the party will be like?” Lucius asked her thought the door. 

“I’m not sure, probably the same as all the previous ones.” 

Lucius snorted, “So the deadly sins will be there and argue, father will make us a cake, and those angels from Heaven are coming.” 

Alicia took off her night gown and put her dress attire on, “You mean our uncles and aunts.” 

Lucius gritted his teeth, “I don’t trust those angels.” 

Alicia rolled her eyes while looking into the bathroom mirror, “Lucius you are an angel.” 

“That’s different!” His voice got louder, “I don’t trust them, they turned on dad so easily and then suddenly want to be nice to him?” 

Lucifer had been very secretive with Chalrie about his life in Heaven and about those who had turned their backs to him, but he admitted that it had backfired. So he took a different approach with the twins, when he thought they were old enough to understand he openly spoke with them about everything that had happened in the past and that they had overcame their differences and were okay now. 

But what Lucifer hadn’t realized was that this approach was also flawed. It had left a bad taste in the twin’s mouths, especially Lucius. Both tried to keep the angels at arms length, at least the ones who had hurt their family the most. 

Alicia opened her mouth but quickly closed it while fixing up her hair with a brush. “Well I admit that is quite strange…”

Lucius grabbed a an overcoat to match his clothes, “What if they turn on us again?” 

“Then we kill them, make it swift” Alicia replied instantly, and as she finished getting ready she came out of the bathroom to fetch her shoes. 

Lucius finished buttoning up his coat and turned to look out their bedroom window, “Do you think dad’s twins gonna show his face here?” 

“Michael? I doubt it.”

“He tried to take Chalrie away from dad, what if he tries to take us away too?” Lucius had both hands clenched into fists to both his sides. 

Alicia’s eyes widened at his question, her eyes turning to radio dials, a trait she had inherited from Alastor. “No one is taking us away from our family, we’ll kill them before they can lay a single hand on us.” 

Lucius turned to look into his sister’s crimson eyes, “Still, I don’t trust those angels, just the ones in our family.” He walked past her and went over to his night stand. He opens the first drawer to reveal a dagger that he had always kept stashed away. 

Alicia raised an eyebrow, “Are you carrying your angelic dagger with you?” 

“It never hurts to be prepared” Lucius stuffed the dagger into a pocket in his trousers that was kept hidden by his over coat. 

Alicia’s permanent smile became gentle, “Lucius no one is taking us away and if they try…we can take them on. We’re the Morningstar twins.” 

“Morningstars aligned” he mirrored her smile. But soon it tuned into a frown, “You know dad fears that we’ll end up like him and his twin.”  

Alicia hummed, “I’m aware.”  

“D-Do you think that could happen?” Lucius whispered quietly. 

The girl shook her head, “It seems very unlikely, you wouldn’t last a day without me.”

Lucius glared, “Says who?” 

“I say so of course.” 

“Right.”

“Jokes aside I don’t think I could exist without you being there too, we are two halves right. An angelic demon needs her right hand demonic angel” she spoke more sincerely this time, which led to Lucius pulling her into a hug. 

“So, idea on what we can do today?” Alicia prompted after they pulled apart from the hug. 

“We could help father with a broadcast!” He wasn’t a bug fan of radio, but he did enjoy the part of ripping souls apart during the broadcast. 

“Don’t you think he’ll be helping with the party planning” she said like it was obvious. 

“We could go visit one of the sins” be counter offered. “It’s been a while since we’ve been in the wrath ring, I’d love to go riding a hellpig again.” 

“Or we could visit Gluttony?” 

“You think we’re old enough to attend one of aunt Bee’s parties?” Lucius teased. 

Alicia chuckled, “Ha ha, fuck no!” 

“Worth a shot, but I’m sure she wouldn’t tell on us.” 

“And I’m sure we’d be grounded for a decade at the very least” Alicia gave him a side eye. 

Lucius gave her a devilish smirk, “Only if we get caught.” He turned back to the window that gave him a grand view over the city below. “I wish dad would let us explore pentagram city, there’s so much we have seen of this place.” 

Thoughout the years, Lucifer had taken the twins to all the rings except for most of the Pride ring. He had taken them to meet the other deadly sins in their natural environments, they had met with all kinds of Hellborn, and even members of the Goetia family. 

But Lucifer didn’t like having them wander around the Pride ring, he liked sinners now but many of them still defied him and his family.

“You know he doesn’t trust us to wander around the pride ring” Alicia said sadly. 

Lucius sighed in exasperation, “I know, I just don’t get why he doesn’t trust us.” Neither one of them did. They trailed so hard for years to fully tame their powers, so why didn’t Lucifer trust them to take care of themselves. 

Alicia pinched the bridge of her nose, “What we need is…” 

But before she could finish her statement Lucius put his hand over her mouth, “Wait!” But Alicia didn’t listen, “Ahh was that really necessary?” Alicia had bit down on his hand. 

“Yes it was” she licked her lips. 

The reason Lucius had shushed her was because he had heard Lucifer coming. Their dad was coming to wake them up for breakfast.

A few seconds later the door to their room cracked open to reveal Lucifer holding his ‘duck off’ coffee mug. “Good morning ducklings!” He said cheerfully. 

“Morning dad!” The twins replied in unison. 

Then the koala and goat started flying towards Lucifer to say hello too. “And hello to you Static…” Lucifer pet the koala. “Ohh and how’s a good boy Glitz? You are yes you are!” He scratched the goat’s head. 

“Is someone making breakfast? I can smell the food from here” Alicia asked her dad. 

“You guys hungry? Al’s making some pancakes.” 

“Of course” Lucius said gleefully. 

“How could we say no to father’s cooking” Alicia agreed. She then used her magic to summon her ver own cane, “To the kitchen then” she snapped her fingers and immediately the three of them were pulled down into a pool of shadow. 

*————————————————————————*

Lucifer, Lucius, and Alicia were deposited right into the hotel lobby. The twins had come out of the shadows perfectly fine but Lucifer was completely caught off guard and newly dropped his mug on the floor, “Woah, you’re even worse than Alastor.” 

Alicia smirked proudly, “I take it as a compliment.” 

Lucifer took a sip from his coffee, “Alicia, you guys gotta warn me before you do that” he scolded her. 

Lucius smiled devilish, “Yeah Alicia, you wanna give dad a heart attack” he teased her. 

“He’s immortal and….” She paused mid sentence as a question came to her mind. She turned to her dad, “Wait do you have a heart?” 

Lucifer spit his coffee and started coughing from hearing that question. After he stopped caught and regained his composure he cleared his throat, “Well technically I..”

He was cut off by Chalrie rushing down the stairs excitedly, “Good morning everyone!” she happily sang. “I just had the greatest idea ever, I was thinking we should add a pool to the hotel!” 

“Hi Chalrie” Alicia waved her older sister good morning.  

Her brother tilted his head in confusion, “And where would we even place a pool in here?” 

Charlie fidgeted with her fingers as her mind was rushing with thoughts of her new plans, “Well we can always expand.” 

Everyone was then greeted by the sight of Vaggie appearing at the top of the stairs. She was out of breath for having to chase down her wife, “Hey babe…pant…please slow…pant… down okay. It’s hard to keep up with you like this.” By ‘like this’ she meant the fact that she was currently four months pregnant. 

Chalrie and Vaggie had come to Lucifer about the fact that they wanted to try and have a child of their own. Lucifer had been more than happy to help them, but he had told them it would be a complicated process. It had taken a few attempts but on the third time the results were positive, and now Vaggie was carrying a baby boy. 

Lucifer walked over the stairs to help Vaggie down. He held one of Vaggie’s hands in his while she held her stomach with the other. Lucifer smiled sympathetically at his daughter in law, “Tell me about it, how are you Vaggie.” 

Vaggie nodded slightly, “I’m doing alright Padre, just really tired.” 

“You just gotta endure it for a few more months” he tried to sound supportive, but oh boy did he know the feeling of just wanting to speed up those nine months of waiting. 

“Gee thanks” Vaggie greeted her teeth, but she knew Lucifer was just trying to be supportive. 

“Morning Vaggie” the twins waved to her as well.  

“Hi guys, did she tell you about the pool idea?” 

“Yes we have been informed” Alicia spoke for both of them. 

“And what do you think?” Vaggie asked. 

They weren’t able to answer as suddenly Alastor burst thought the doors of the kitchen. “Good morning everyone” he was still wearing a cooking apron. 

“Morning father” the twins said.

“Morning Al” Charlie said.

He started uniting the back of his cooking apron, “I should be getting ready to head out, I’ve made breakfast arrangements for you all I hope you find it satisfactory.”

“You aren’t staying for breakfast?” Chalrie sounded disappointed, she loved having the whole family together for meals.

He placed a hand on his daughter’s shoulder, “No dear, I’m afraid I have a little engagement to attend.”

“Where are you going?” Alicia’s interest had been peaked. 

“I have a meeting with the overlords of the Pride ring” he proudly announced. He wasn’t thrilled about the meeting itself, but at least he would get to have tea with Rosie in Cannibal Town afterwards.

“How fun” Vaggie rolled her eyes. 

“May we go with you?” Alicia asked excitedly, making all heads in the room turn to her. 

“What?”

“Well Lucius and I wanted to go out today, we’ve been inside the hotel for the past two days. We want to see more of the Pride ring” she calmly explained. 

Lucifer’s eyes widened in alarm, “No, you guys aren’t old enough to wander the Pride ring alone.”

“But dad we’re powerful, we can defend ourselves…”

Lucifer sighed in frustration, “Look, I’m okay with you two going out in the other rings okay. They’re more chill than Pride, okay a lot of sinners have angelic weapons too. What if you get kidnapped?” 

“That only happened once” Alicia muttered under his breath. It had happened when they were still toddlers when they had been under Lucifer’s supervision. 

“And she bit of the guy’s arm before he caught us” Lucius stood up for his sister. 

“Still, I think you’re still too young.”

“But da….” 

Their protest was cut short by Alastor snaking his arms around his husband’s waist, “Lucifer please, it’s alright dear they can come with me.” 

Lucifer looked back to his husband, “But…” 

Alastor placed his head on the Angel’s shoulder, “They’ll be with me the whole time, besides they’ve already met plenty who are in attendance.” He was truly trying to help his kids out. Though he was sympathetic to Lucifer’s feelings as he had dealt with Lucifer’s breakdowns and therapy sessions. And it was a lie, the twins did already know Rosie, Carmilla, and Zestial.

“What about the others?” Lucifer asked, still feeling skeptical. 

“I’m sure the overlords have enough brain cells to not touch Alastor’s kids” Husk, who was sitting on the couch with Angelina Dust said out loud. 

“Even Vox?” 

Angel Dust fell over the edge of the couch from cackling at that, “Ha ha ha.You’re kidding right? That fucker saw Alastor go head to head with an archangel, you think he wants to fight em?” And he kept laughing. 

Lucifer sighed and looked down to his kids’ hopeful eyes, then he turned around and glared at his husband. “Alright fine, but you have to keep your eyes on them at all times, if they come back with even a scratch I’m blaming you.”

Alastor rolled his eyes, “Don’t be dramatic Lucifer.” 

Lucifer didn’t listen and simply turned to his children, “And you two, you really wanna go to an overlord meeting?” 

“Well uhhh” Lucius stammered, but his sister elbowed him. 

“Of course, they need to know who they’re dealing with.” 

“Yep that’s smiles’ kid for sure!” Angel Dust spoke up again. 

 “Okay, you guys can go.” 

“Thanks dad” the twins hugged him happily. 

Lucifer hugged them back, “But eat your pancakes first.” 

“Okay…” and the my both took off into the kitchen to eat their breakfast. 

“I suppose I’ll be a little late to my meeting” Alastor thought out loud.

Lucifer patted down his clothes and took in a deep breath, “Charlie, Vaggie, come with me please…” and he began to walk over to an empty corner opposite to the dinning room. 

*————————————————————————*

As soon as the dinning room shut behind them, Lucius started quietly yelling at his sister. “Why did you do that? I don’t wanna to sit in a boring meeting.”

Alicia grabbed onto his shoulders, “Don’t you see, this, this is the opening we needed!” 

He gave her a puzzled look, “I’m not following here.”

She released him from her grip and started moving towards the dinning table, “We needed a way to get dad to trust us and tell me dear brother….” She sat down on her chair, with a devilish smile and glint in her eyes, “What is the best way to get Lucifer Morningstar to agree to something?” 

“Get rubber ducks involved?” His voice was hesitant and unsure. 

Alicia opened her mouth before closing it again. He wasn’t exactly wrong but, “Okay the second way.” 

“Get Charlie involved?” 

Her ears flattened on her head, “I’m getting impatient…”

Lucius snapped his fingers as he finally got it. “Get Alastor Morningstar to agree with you so he gets Lucifer to agree.” 

“Bingo!”  

Lucius wore a victorious expression as he sat down next to his sister. “So, we go to the meeting with father and…”

“We show the overlords that we aren’t to be messed with, we know they are all stubborn and proud. There’s a high chance they’ll challenge us…”

The boy shrugged, “So we accept, beat them of course and then?” 

Alicia clasped her hands together, “Father will be impressed and then he’ll relay all that happened to dad. Even better if one or two of the overlords record everything, we’ll have physical evidence that we can handle ourselves against confrontations.” 

Lucius hit his fist on top of the table, “Alicia Morningstar you are a genius!”

The girl let out a laugh, “I already knew that but thank you.” 

This made her brother cross his arms and roll his eyes. “Wow, Princess of Pride over here.” 

“I am actually…” 

And so they began to eat their pancakes as their minds kept plotting. Maybe today would prove to be quite entertaining…

*————————————————————————*

Back in the hallway, Lucifer was trying to keep his cool as he scolded his husband. “Alastor are you sure that they’re ready for an overlord meeting? Don’t fights break out between them all the time?” He pointed an accusing finger onto Alastor’s chest. 

Alastor moved Lucifer’s finger off of him, “Like the deadly sins don’t fight each other and you let them watch.” 

Lucifer gritted his teeth, “That’s different! The sins see them as niece and nephew, they fight each other but would never lay a finger on my kids.” 

Vaggie pinched the bridge of her nose, she didn’t have the energy to watch them fighting right now. “I agree with Lucifer on this, like what about the Vees, I bet Vox would try to mess with them.” 

Lucifer smiled brightly at his daughter in law, “See! Thank you Vaggie.” He could always count of Vaggie to be on his side. 

Charlie sighed at the predicament, “Uhh I agree with Al though….They already know Rosie, Carmilla, and Zestial too. Oh and Husk thought he isn’t really an overlord anymore. Plus Alastor will be there so what’s the worse that can happen?” 

“We’ve been training them since they were toddlers, they can handle this, they’re ready” Alastor repeated his earlier statements. 

Lucifer looked down in defeat, “Maybe you’re right. I just don’t want to see them get hurt when I’m not there to defend them.” He wouldn’t be able to live with himself if something happened to his kids. 

Alastor’s eyes softened as he took hold of his husband’s hand. “None of us want to see them get hurt. I’ll take care of them, I promise.”

Lucifer glared at him, “You better!” But his voice held no real anger. 

So it was really happening, the Morningstar twins would be attending an overlord meeting. They would be with their father, they’d be fine right? What’s the worse that could happen?

Chapter Text

“So this is the weapons district?” Alicia asked as she, her brother, and their father walked along the sidewalk headed towards Carmilla’s arms factory. They had eaten their breakfast then headed out almost immediately so Alastor wouldn’t be late. 

Even though the overload meetings were technically done under the orders of the crown, Carmilla was still allowed to host and lead the meetings themselves. So while Alastor was technically supposed to oversee the meetings, he mostly sat at the table quietly taking notes of what the overlords were doing and planning to expand their domains, steeping in when necessary to maintain control.  

Alastor hummed in a ‘yes’, “Not the worst side of the pentagram. Certainly better than doomsday, but not as refined as Cannibal Town” he explained. 

“Are we having lunch with aunt Rosie after the meeting?” his son asked him curiously. “Dad says you always go there afterwards.”

Alastor placed a hand on his chin, he had been planning to go to Rosie’s after the meeting. “Well yes, I suppose I may bring you along. I tolerate most of the other overlords but Rosie is a dear friend to me.” And lucky for him Rosie loved his children dearly. 

“Like your friend Mimzy?” Alicia asked him while trying to keep herself from laughing.

Alastor’s smile never faltered but his left eye twitched a little at the mention, “Why do you ask?”

“Because she welcomed herself into your wedding anniversary dinner five years ago..” she was smiling though little muffled giggles, and Lucius was also fighting to keep a straight face. 

Alastor huffed, “The only reason she was allowed to stay was because she was there on the day I met your father.” And because she at least didn’t try to kill anyone.

The truth was both twins knew that their parents could hardly stand Mimzy. And she hadn’t exactly crashed their wedding dinner, she simply told security she was a friend of Alastor’s and found herself a seat at one of the tables. And surprisingly she hadn’t caused any trouble besides taking a few too many shots of whiskey. 

And while neither Lucifer or Alastor was very fond of her these days, both had to thank her for stopping their arguments on the day they met, as both could admit that if she hadn’t dropped by their fight would have evolved from a musical one into a physical on. And only god knows if they’d ever have ended up together had things gone down that route.

“And what was that like?” Lucius asked with sparkly eyes. He liked hearing the story of how his parents had gotten together. 

Alastor smiled down at him, but not his sinister smile this one was more….sincere. “Well, know you two hated each other at first..” he let out a laugh, “Well it’s no secret I wanted to throw him halfway across the pentagram that afternoon…”

“But then you changed your mind and started liking him?” Lucius cut his off. 

Alastor thought for a moment and shrugged, “A very brief summary of events but technically correct.” 

“I can’t picture you two hating each other…” Alicia murmured, Don’t see it.” 

Alastor let out an even louder laugh, “Oh then you should ask your sister about how many times she had to fix the walls in her hotel because of our fights. I’m sure she and the others remember quite well.”

They then fell into a comforting silence for a few more blocks. Carmilla’s factory became clearer in the distance. 

Alastor broke their silence, “So what is the reason for you two wanting to join me on this outing?” 

Lucius looked at his sister nervously before stuttering out a response. “We um….w-wanted to meet the overlords of the Pride of ring of course.” 

Alastor nodded his head, “Of course….and the actual reason?” He wasn’t so easy to fool as Lucifer was, though he knew that his children didn’t have ill intentions. 

Alicia looked down as her feet as she kept walking, “We want dad to have more faith in us.” 

“Is that so?” Alastor said in a tone that indicated that he already knew this, like it was obvious.

The girl’s hands clenched into fists, “We can control our powers pretty well, and no one dares to mess with us.”

“The deadly sins respect us, Hellborn know not to get on our bad side, and the Goetia too” her brother chimed in. 

Alastor was listening attentively to their words, “So you believe that gaining the respect of overlords will help you accomplish this goal?”

“Anyone who wished to harm us knows that it’s futile given who our family is. But sinners are more defiant, most don’t even respect you and father” Lucius explained. 

Alicia crossed her arms, “Sinners can be very stupid…” Her face flushed a she realized what she had just said, “…no offense father.”  

Alastor rolled his eyes, “You’ll have to try a lot harder than that if you wish to insult me dear.” He stopped walking and bended his knees to be at eye level with his children. He used his magic to make his cane disappear, freeing his hands so he could put one on a should have each of his children. “Now as for your desire to be given more trust…” he took in a deep breath, “Firstly, you know why Lucifer is so protective of you correct?”

The question hit them both with surprise, they were fairly certain they knew the answer. “Well yeah, because he almost lost Charlie when she was little” Alicia said, she didn’t want to use the term abducted. 

Alastor nodded, indicating that she was correct. “And what else?”

“And because he ended up in the hospital after your wedding…” Lucius whispered. 

Lucifer and Alastor had been transparent with their children about their past, mostly Lucifer’s past with his family. So of course they had mentioned how Lucifer had gotten hurt while pregnant with them, hence his fear of loosing them. But they didn’t mention Lilith’s attempt to stab Lucifer at the baby shower, they had made all the parties who were there that day promise to keep that little detail a secret, for Alicia and Lucius’s sake. 

“Your father is afraid of loosing those he cares about, which is an understandable fear, and trust me dears it is not only with you. He is afraid of losing Charlie, Vaggie, Emily, and even myself..” which wasn’t a lie at all. 

“But he doesn’t keep eyes on you at all times..” 

Alastor sighed and his eyes traveled to the wedding ring he worn on his finger, “Maybe not, but I did have to reassure him many times that I would never leave.…And a lot conversations and therapy sessions. Maybe you should try your sister’s trust exercises!” 

“I think we’ve already done plenty of those” Alicia scoffed. 

But Lucius had a burning question on his mind, “Do you think he’s scared Heaven would try to take us too?” 

Alastor felt his blood boil at the question and his eyes starting to turn to radio dials. “If any Angel manages to put their hands on you I will personally storm those pearly gates and they’ll have to answer to me. After I destroy everything of course” his voice had more static than usual.

To any other demon, seeing the radio demon/ Prince consort of Hell with suck furry in his eyes would make them run away screaming in fear, or begging for mercy upon their soul. But to the Morningstar twins? It brought a sense of assurance and care from their father. So both of them rushed to give Alastor a hug, nearly knocking him down. “Thanks dad!” 

Alastor happily hugged them back, “Anytime little fawns. Now, let us get going shall we?” So they pulled apart and went back to walking towards their destination.

As they approached the side of a large grey building, they could see a few cars in the approaching in the distance with different overlords coming out. 

Alastor brushed off the dirt on his coat and straightened his sleeves, he always had to look polished for such occasions, a sharp contrast to Lucifer, who once went to a meeting with the sins in a duck onesie. As a final touch, Alastor snapped his fingers to make his black crown appear at the top of his head. 

“You brought your crown with you?” Alicia tilted her head to look at the sparkling crown on her father’s head. 

“Of course I did, always good to remind others of my status.” Which he truly loved to do. 

“When are we getting our crowns?” Was the girl’s next question. 

“When you are crowned of course” Alastor patted her head. 

“And when will that be?” 

Alastor sighed, “Im afraid I cannot say, your dad and I haven’t reached an agreement on the subject.” 

Lucifer had been crowned practically on the day he was thrown down to Hell, and he was forced to crown Charlie on her second day of life to protect her from being taken away from her home. So when the topic came to crown Lucius and Alicia, Lucifer wanted to go similarly to the crowning of Emily, Vaggie, and Alastor. And by that he meant, that he wanted them to choose to be crowned and have their souls bound to Hell for eternity. 

Alastor wasn’t sure why Lucifer kept delaying, it’s not like their children would ever refuse their crowns, but Lucifer kept telling his husband that it wasn’t the right moment, that he felt that something had to happened first, he just felt it…wasn’t the right time. 

And Alastor respected Lucifer’s decision, he was connected to Hell itself. If he thought it wasn’t the right moment then it wasn’t the right moment. But maybe Lucifer was wrong, their children wanted to prove themselves, they wanted to show they were capable, they wanted this. He’d have to speak to Lucifer about this! 

The twins’s eyes were blown wide at Alastor’s stamen, “Wait so we don’t…” 

“Ah Alastor!” A voice interrupted them, making the twins jump.

They turned to see who had screed them, “Ahh! Oh uncle Zestial.” They had met with the ancient overlord many times, he knew he wasn’t active as an overlord anymore, and very pleased by the fact that he treated them respectfully.

Zestial blinked at Alastor with surprise, “Why Alastor I hadn’t the finest idea youd bring thou’s children to the meeting.” 

Alastor used his magic to summon his radio cane again, “Yes well, they wanted to be more involved in my duties.” 

Zestial smiled at the twins and shook their hands, “Ah I see, much like Carmilla’s children used to be. Welcome children.” 

“Thanks uncle Zestial.” 

They walked closer to the grey building and towards a wall with several red elevators. “Look my little fawns, this is miss Carmine’s factory.” 

“Are those the other overlords?” Alicia motioned to a group of sinners who were headed towards the elevators. 

Amongst the group were overlords who had been around for a long time, like Rosie and Zeezi. There were also some overlords who had risen to power more recently, such as Vixen the tobacco overlord. 

Alastor placed a hand on his children’s backs to guide them in the right direction, “Yes but don’t fret, I’ll give you all a proper introduction later. Come along now…” he led them towards an empty elevator, Zestial had entered the same elevator as Rosie and Zeezi. The trio went inside and the red door closed with a ding.

Lucius felt a little nervous, so he leaned towards his sister and whispered so only she could hear, “You ready for this?”

Alicia stood tall, “Of course I am.” 

Lucius gave her a smile and lifted his forearm, “Morningstar Twins..”

Alicia immediately understood and raised her own arm, clasping their hands together. “Together!” 

“Let’s do this” they said in unison. They were the Morningstar Twins, they could do anything as long as they were together, this would be easy. 

*————————————————————————*

The elevator reached the top floor of the building and finally came to a stop. The doors opened with an another ding and Alastor began ushering the kids out. “Alright my little fawns, let us let the others enter first.” 

They saw that the other overlords were exciting the other elevators and were heading into Carmilla’s meeting room. “Why can’t we go in?” Lucius asked. 

“I want to introduce you properly. So I’ll enter first and let the others know that we have a pair o special guests in attendance” Alastor explained. He wanted to prepare the terrain but honestly, he was very much looking forward to seeing the faces the others would make when they saw Alicia and Lucius come into their meeting. And as he watched the other overlords enter the room he noticed the lack of three very obnoxious overlords, this was perfect! He didn’t want his children in any proximity of the Vees.

“Oh my stars! Lucius and Alicia, what are you doing here?” Rosie was the only one who noticed that Alastor had brought company.

“Hi aunt Rosie!” The twins cheered. Rosie was by far their favorite overlord, they adored their hellmother (and equally adore their hellfather Stolas).

“Hello darlings” she fretted them back before turning back to their father. “Alastor my friend you didn’t tell me we’d have company.”  

“I didn’t either until two hours ago” he admitted.  

“We wanted to join you for once” Alicia quickly said. 

“Well that’s wonderful dear, you need to be up to date on what’s happening in pride you know” Rosie winked at them. 

“That’s why we’re here” Lucius said awkwardly. 

So Rosie turned to walk into the meeting room, but quickly realized that she wasn’t being followed by the pair of little demons. She raised an eyebrow, “Aren’t you coming in?”

“Father wants to give us a proper introduction” Alicia told her. 

This made Rosie smile widely, “Well that’s the best way to make an impression darling!” Yep, it really wasn’t a mystery as to why Alastor and Rosie got along so well. 

“Right you are my dear” Alastor said proudly. He spoke to the twins, “Now, you both stay here. I’ll say hello to everyone and then I’ll open the doors for you to come inside understand?” 

The twins nodded, “Yes father.”

“Good” he offered his arm to Rosie, “Shall we my friend?” 

“What a gentleman” Rosie giggled before taking his arm. She waved goodbye to the twins as she and Alastor began heading into the meeting room. 

Rosie and Alastor were the last one to enter, so the large heavy doors to the meeting room closed behind them. Leaving only Lucius and Alicia in an empty fall filled with empty elevators. 

Lucius turned to his sister, “What now?” 

“We wait, then we make the best impression we can” she assured him. 

*————————————————————————*

A limousine pulled up to Carmine’s arms factory, with three figures inside. They were late, but they didn’t really mind…..well two of them. 

“I can’t believe you two idiots made us be late again!” Vox said as he slammed the car door closed as the three of them steeped out. 

Valentino rolled his eyes behind his sunglasses, “Relax amorecito.”

“Yeah, why do you care so much” Velvette didn’t even look up from her phone.  

The three of them sent their driver off and started walking over to the wall of elevators. Vox pushed the open to call an elevator m, “Because that fucking radio prick will get on my ass about it” he groaned. 

After the twins were born Alastor and Lucifer paid a personal visit to Voxtech to have a friendly chat with Vox. It basically boiled down to if Vox ever tried to spy on them, their children especially, then they would rip apart every soul contract he owned and leave him more powerless than a newly arrived sinner. And Lucifer ripped apart the soul contract he had with his personal assistant as a demonstration. Oh and of course he told Vox to keep his favorite Duck series going and delivered a letter with episode suggestion and improvements. 

Vox later learned that they hadn’t just gone to Voxtech, but actually went to all the news channels in the pentagram telling them to stay away from their children. So news and images of the Morningstar children were very scarce. 

The elevator arrived at the ground floor and opened up for them. “So what if Alastor makes some stupid comment, aren’t ya being dramatic?” Velvette said to Vox.

Vox gritted his teeth, “The problem is that I can’t even wipe that shit eating grin off his face cause no one’s allowed to touch him just cause the king likes to fuck him.”

Valentino sucked on his pipe, “That’s a bit rude Voxxy” 

Vox raised an eyebrow, “That’s rude?” 

Valentino grinned widely, wide enough to rival Alastor. “I’m sure they do more than fucking.”

Vox and Velvette gagged. “Ew, I don’t need that visual dickhead” Velvette snapped. 

With that, the elevator finally reached the top floor and the doors opened wide. 

Velvette looked around to see  

all the empty elevators and closed doors to the meeting room. “Oh looks like everyone else already got here…well almost.” Her eyes landed on two figures who currently had their backs to them. 

Vox was about to step out of the elevator put he stoped when he felt his phone start to buzz. He pulled out his phone to see it was his assistant, “Wait a minute. What does this fucker want, you two go ahead I gotta take this.” He really hated Lucifer for having freed his old assistant, he had been perfect for the job and he hadn’t been able to find another one who was as efficient. 

“Huh, I’ve never seen those two before…” Valentino said when he left the elevator and spotted the twins, who were currently chatting. “Looks like fresh meat in our territory” he licked his lips.

Velvette raised an eyebrow while eyeing them up and down, “New overlords perhaps?” 

“I think we should introduce ourselves, it’s the proper thing to do” Valentino suggested. So the two overlords walked over to twins, unaware of who they were approaching. 

“So you want us to scare them without scaring them?” Lucius asked his sister, making sure he was hearing correctly. 

Alicia snickered, “I said just enough that they know better than to challenge us.”

They had been discussing the proper way to introduce themselves to the overlords inside the room, until they heard a “Hello little ones!” coming from behind them. 

They quickly turned to face who was behind them. Their instinct told them to pull out their weapons but they held themselves back for now. “Ahh, who are you?” They asked in unison.

“We could ask you the same thing..” Velvette looked at them curiously. “I’ve never seen you two before.” 

“This is our first meeting” Lucius told them. 

“Oh so you are new overlords” Valentino cheered. “That’s nice…” and he licked his lips again.

Alicia felt a little grossed out but fought to keep her composure, “I suppose..”

“But what are you wearing?” Velvette pointed to Lucius’s attire. 

“Excuse me?” The angel almost shouted, he had never had someone insult his clothing before. 

The overlord went on a tangent, “Seriously it looks like you were spit out of the fucking eighteenth century..” 

Lucius gave her a death stare, “My clothes are perfectly fine, the classics are classics for a reason!” Making Velvette scoff at him and continue her tirade.  

Meanwhile, Valentino kept talking to Alicia. He grabbed onto her hand, “And you my dear, what are you the overlord of?” 

Alicia gritted her pointy teeth, “That’s none of your concern!”

Valentino smiled, “Feisty, say do you like your job? Cause I can get you a wonderful job…”

“Let go of my hand before I bite it off” Alicia warned and she truly m ant it, she would bit his hand off if he didn’t let go in the next five seconds. 

“Relax pequeña….” But then his eyes landed on the little white fluff on Alicia’s back. “Oh what a cute little tail…” and one of his hands from his lower set of arms began to more towards her tail. 

Alicia’s eyes widened with horror, “Don’t you dare!” She shouted. 

Back in the elevator, Vox had finally finished talking to his assistant, “Yeah okay, I gotta go.” So he shut off his phone and put it back in his pocket. 

He looked outside the elevator and examined the scene in front of him. He saw short little demons that Val and Vel were talking to and his eyes went wide. They looked like a mixture of Lucifer and Alastor, one was blond with dear ears and antlers, the other was pale as a sheet of paper with bright red hair, they both had red check circles for crying out loud. 

But his screen lit up with a wanting sign when he saw what Valentino was about to do. He wanted to run over there and stop him but he didn’t have time. He knew Alastor hated being touched, hell the prick had denied having a tail, but there was probably a reason that he kept it hidden. 

So he shouted, “Val you idiot those are!” But it was too late…

Valentino’s hand reached Alicia’s blonde fully tail and then….he squeezed it.

Alicia’s red eyes turned to radio dials as she let out a loud and screeching bleat, a distress call. And Vox knew, they were fucked! 

Chapter Text

Back at the Hazbin Hotel, Charlie and her father had been busy getting things ready of the surprise party. Some of the hotel guests along with Husk and Angel Dust were also helping, even Abel and Emily had closed the Heaven Embassy for the day to come get things ready. 

“Okay everyone confirmed that they’re coming and the catering imps too” Vaggie told her wife. Charlie hadn’t allowed Vaggie to help much since she was pregnant, so she was tasked with making calls to confirm that everything was on schedule. 

“I called Carlos and he said he’ll be here at two o clock” Emily chimed in, because of course Lucifer and Alastor wanted a portrait of their children on their birthday. 

“I already told everyone the casino is closed today and tomorrow” Husk said as he and Angel Dust finished placing table clothes and decorations.

Chalrie had a clipboard in hand with all the things they still had to do and was checking several things off. “That’s perfect!” She said cheerfully, “Alastor already baked the cake and we’ve got most of the decorations up, we’re ahead of scheduled!”

“So what’s next princess?” Angel asked her. 

Charlie looked over to a box full of red and purple streamers that was laying on the ground, “Next is the streamers, Razzle Brazzle, Static, Glitz do you think you can put them up?” 

She had made Static and Glitz promise to not tell the twins about the party, and they had easily agreed to it. So Charlie got them and Razzle and Brazzle to help with getting things ready, to which the four animals happily agreed. 

“Thanks you” Charlie said as the four of them started picking up streamers. Back when her dad had brought Static and Glitz to life, she was worried that they wouldn’t get along well with Razzle and Brazzle but was delighted to have been proven wrong. 

Chalrie then turned to her dad, who had been pacing in circles for at least ten minutes. He kept mumbling to himself and waving a hand through his hair, she was starting to get concerned, “Can you please stop pacing dad.” 

Lucifer was fidgeting with his fingers and breathing heavily, “I’m just worried, I have a bad feeling…”

“What are you feeling Padre?” Vaggie asked him calmly. 

“I feel like something’s wrong with the twins and….curses I hate that Alastor refuses to carry a phone!” He sighed in frustration. 

“I thought you gave him a phone” Angel Dust pointed out. Which was in fact true! 

Lucifer had in fact given Alastor a phone for Sinsmas even before they were married. It was a simple flip phone that only had half a dozen numbers saved on it to make calls and that Vox would never be able to get access to, it was perfect for Alastor! But there was just one problem, “You think he uses it?”

Angel Dust shrugged, yeah it was very within Alastor’s nature to completely ignore the phone. “Ya should invest in a gps tracker instead” he suggested. 

Lucifer stopped pacing for a moment and smiled brightly, “That’s not a bad idea…”

Charlie rushed over to her dad before he got any crazy ideas, “Look dad I’m sure they’re finnneee, Al won’t let anything happen to them.”

“They also have Rosie there” Vaggie pointed out. 

“That’s true” Lucifer nodded. 

“I’m sure she’d eat anyone who tries to hurt those kids” Angel Dust spoke with full confidence. 

Husk sighed in frustration, he was tired of this conversation. “Lucifer relax man, those are your kids, no one would be stupid enough to picks a fight with the devil and the archangels.” 

Lucifer’s shoulders slumped, “Maybe you’re right, I’d just feel better if they were under my watch you know.”  

“We know….” Many of them spoke in unison. 

“They’ll be back in a few hours and you’ll see that they’re perfectly fine, so let’s get back to party preparations” Emily said, praying that she was able to lighten the mood.

Lucifer rolled up his sleeves, “Alright, I’m sure Alastor would teleport back here if anything bad happened.” He waved his hand in the air to create a colorful dance floor in the center of the room. He gave his daughter a big smile, “Let’s finish that list!” 

*————————————————————————*

The doors to the meeting room closed behind Rosie and Alastor as they joined the other overlords. No one was seated yet, the overlords were hovering around the table making small talk with one another. 

“Hello fellow overlords of Hell, it is such a lovely day for a gathering” he said in a jolly tone to gather everyone’s attention. 

“Hello Alastor, it’s good to see you again” Carmilla walked over to him, she also greeted Rosie as the cannibal overlord left Alastor’s side to go mingle with the others. 

“Charmed as always Carmilla” his smile widened. 

“So what are we discussing today?” Zeezi asked Carmilla. 

Carmilla cleared her throat, “Today we are to discuss the situation in the doomsday district and the distribution of angelic weapons across the pentagram…”

“Ok okay” the overlord replied before sitting at one of the empty chairs. 

Carmilla scanned the room with her eyes, “Is everyone here? It seems some overlords are missing….” She looked over to Alastor, they both knew very well who was missing, or a trio. 

“I believe we may carry on with them…” Alastor declared.

Carmilla nodded, she wouldn’t be upset at not having the Vees being present, “Then we commence the meeting, please take a seat everyone.” 

But as the overlords began to take their seats Alastor spoke up again, “Actually, before we start…I have an announcement to make.” 

“Oh…” that certainly caught everyone attention. 

“Does our king Lucifer have something to declare?” Zestial asked, even though he already knew what Alastor was about to say. 

“Are we gonna have another conflict?” One of the newer overlord asked in exasperation.

“No it’s nothing of the sort” Alastor brushed them all off.

“Then what is it?” Rosie asked next, but gave her friend a knowing wink. 

“I have brought some guests to our meeting…” he took in the surprised faces of all people in the room except Zestial and Rosie.

“Guests? Like non overlords” Odette asked in shock. She had been a non overlord in a meeting once, but now she ran an entire department of research in her mother’s operations and owned several souls of her own. She was curious as to whom would want to partake in this kind of meeting. 

“Yes, two guests who wished to join us today” Alastor confined. 

“And who are your mysterious guests?” Carmilla asked. 

“They are non other than….” Alastor’s ears perked up when he heard a loud bleat coming from the hallway. 

All the overlords looked towards the door, they had never heard such a noise before. It sounded like a scream of terror, but it wasn’t human.

“What was that?” Clara looked to her mom for answers. 

Rosie rushed closer to her friend her voice frantic, “Alastor that sounded like a deer noise, was that….” 

Alastor’s eyes widened with horror, there was only one demon who could make such a sound, “….Alicia!” 

Astor ran to the door of the room forgetting all decorum, he didn’t care right now, his daughter needed him. He left his children alone and now something bad had happened, Alicia would never shout like that unless something was terribly wrong. His mind was racing! He had failed to protect them, Lucifer wouldn’t forgive him…he wouldn’t forgive himself. 

His hand reached the door but he never got a chance to open it….

In less than a second, the gaping hole was made through the door with a blast of fire. The blast so strong that it knocked Alastor back and he fell to the floor. 

Then a white figure flew through the giant whole and…it was Lucius! Lucius in his full demon from, his eyes were a blazing red, his horns were out and so were his six wings. He was also carrying another figure with him…Valentino. 

Lucius was holding the overlord by the throat and his tail wrapped around Valentino’s neck. He had even summoned his magical trident, and held it with his free hand.

He flew them through the whole and slammed Valentino onto the large desk on the center of the room, the same desk Velvette had once danced on top of. He then pierced his trident right on the moth’s leg to keep him in place. 

“You dare to lay a hand on my sister you fucker!” Fire was spitting out of Lucius’s mouth and his tail tightened around the overlord’s neck. 

“What is the meaning of this?” Carmilla asked out loud. 

“A-Alastor your kid is strangling him!” Vox ran in after them along with Velvette, who was recording live on her phone. 

“I’m sure there’s a reason for it” Alastor rolled his eyes at Vox.

Vox wanted to shout at Alastor but, “Well umm…..uhh I uhh.” 

“You’ll pay for what you did sinner” Lucius growled, completely ignoring the fact that there was a crowd watching him. 

“Please let me go, I-I’m sorry” Valentino pleaded and tried to dislodge Lucius’ arm from his neck. 

Lucius let out a sinister laugh, “No you’re not. And I’m not the one you need to beg for mercy…right Alicia” He looked over his shoulder as he felt his sister materialize from a shadow right behind him.  

“Very right brother” She smiled wildly with her sharp teeth. 

“Alastor what are your children doing?” Carmilla demanded. 

“It appears that the moth touched my daughter with his nasty hands and they are giving him proper punishment” he said nonchalantly, simply watching the show in front of him. 

“On my meeting table!” 

Alastor gave her a side eye, “How would you react if that man touched one of your daughters?”that made Carmilla close her mouth. “Honestly be grateful that I’m doing nothing!” 

Lucius laughed as Valentino squirmed on the table, “You see sinner you touched my sister where you really shouldn’t. As this was a first offense I think we’ll let you off easy….”

“E-easy?” The moth demon rasped. 

Lucius banged him harder against the table, “Don’t talk unless spoken to, but yes easy!” He looked over to his sister, his eyes shinning with mischief. “I’d say this deserves a limb chopped off, what do you think?”

Alicia nodded her head, “I think that’s an appropriate punishment.” 

Lucius looked over the demon under him, “Alright, so which should it be? Maybe an arm, who needs four of those anyway.”

“Wait Lucius….” Alicia put a hand on his shoulder. She looked directly onto Valentino’s eyes, “You are the overlord of porn correct?”

The room was silent….

“Answer her!” Lucius applied more pressure on the trident. 

“Si si…yes I am!” Valentino screamed in pain. 

Alicia’s grin widened and her eyes were sparkling even more than her bothers, she made her decision. “Lucius……cut off his dick!” 

Everyone in the room gasped, but none dared to intervene. While Alastor actually hummed with approval. 

Lucius smiled and let out an amused laugh, “Sadistic, I like it.” 

“Perhaps beating treated like one of your servants will teach you about consent” Alicia said when she saw the look of horror on Valentino’s face. 

“Now sinner should I cut with my angelic blade or regular blade? I’ll let you pick” Lucius said in a nicer tone of voice. 

“R-regular please” Valentino whimpered. 

Lucius pouted, “Aww they never pick the more fun option. Ha ha ha!” He then used his magic to summon one of his regular daggers and made a cut.

“Ahhhh!” 

“Oh shit, he actually did it” Vox yelled in horror.

“My children don’t make the empty threats” Alastor whispered so only Vox would hear.

Lucius spoke once he was done, “You know, normally we’d eat the flesh of those we cut apart but I have no idea where you’ve been sticking that thing…” he then pulled back his trident and picked up Valentino’s body by his collar and threw him against one of the walls. The moth’s body hit the wall and then fell to the floor. “Don’t worry too much, you’ll be back to normal…eventually.”

Lucius watched as the other Vees rushed over to check on Valentino as he coughed aggressively. Lucius patted down his clothes and tuned back to his sister, “I love getting to let off steam. Are you feeling alright?” 

Alicia looked at him with a now grateful smile, “I’m fine, thanks Lucius.” She loved creating chaos with her brother, but this had been the first time that he had directly hurt someone to defend her. 

He pulled his sister into a hug, “Anytime, we take care of each other.” Because he would do it again, they were a team, they worked together and for each other when needed.

They pulled away after a moment and that was when they realized, “Oh I forgot we had an audience watching us..” 

An audience who was frozen with horror at what they had just watched. All were looked over at the two Vees helping Valentino stand, while only Alastor and Rosie were not very shaken by what just happened. 

Alicia waved a hand through her hair and put one a more cheerful tone, “Hello overlords of Hell, I am princess Alicia Morningstar and this is my brother….”

“Prince Lucius Morningstar. We dropped by to say hello and join you for your meeting.” He finished. 

“I wasn’t expecting you both to drop by my territory. I would have offered a proper tour” Carmilla spoke up. She had met Alicia and Lucius several times over the years and she knew they were powerful, but this was different. 

Alicia tried her best to form an apologetic look, “Apologies for the mess, it seems some aren’t very familiar with common decency!” 

“Alicia, Lucius could you get off the table please” Alastor asked. 

“Of course father” Lucius jumped off the table and then offered a hand to help his sister down. 

Alastor lowered down to their level once again, “Are you two alright?” He scanned their bodies for any signs of cuts or injuries, “Are you hurt?”

”He grabbed my tail!” Alicia told him, still furious.

“Which is exactly why I keep mine hidden..” he whispers so only his children can hear.

Alicia’s eyes turned a dark crimson and turned to radio dials, “I shouldn’t have to hide my own tail just because that scum doesn’t understand consent!” She then turned her head towards robe Vees, ”And remember, if there’s ever a second offense we will rip apart every soul contract you own!” Alicia spat, her voice full of venom. Making all eyes snap to her again.

Lucius crossed his arms,  “Don’t test us, we have the power to do it….and aren’t afraid to use it” he smirked, while everyone else gulped. 

“Are we still having a meeting?” Alicia asked Carmilla. 

Carmilla scanned the room once again. Some looked like they wanted to melt into the floor while others looked about ready to throw up, and Vox and Velvette were dragging Valentino back towards the door. “I….I don’t think we will, perhaps we all need some time to….recompose.”

The twins nodded and looked up to their father, “So what will we do now?” 

Alastor hummed in amusement. His children offered an apology but he knew that both held no remorse whatsoever and probably enjoyed the chaos and fear they just caused.  “We’ll have to find something else to do….” 

“How about some tea and sweets from my shop?” Rosie offered.

“I’d like that” Alicia said, almost immediately.

Lucius pretended to think for a second, “Well I am certainly craving some good food right now.”

So it was settled, their cup of tea would be coming earlier than expected.
