The courtroom was tense as Satan ordered Blitzø to be executed. Andrealphus and Mammon watched with glee, Asmodeus, Beelzebub, and Vassago watched on sadly, Leviathan was indifferent, Belphegor remained asleep, Moxxie and Loona couldn't watch as tears pierced their eyes, and Millie was the only one who could, tears in her eyes too as Blitzø gave his daughter and co-workers one last sad smile before he was to be beheaded.

But just as the reaper brought the blade down, the doors burst open and it was caught.

Everyone gasped in shock at what just happened... and who stopped the blade.

"THAT'S ENOUGH!"

Blitzø opened his eyes in surprise.

"Uh... what?" he said in surprise, thinking he should be sleeping the eternal sleep.

As Blitzø raised his head, he gasped too when he saw that someone was holding the axe back.

The Princess of Hell herself, Charlie Morningstar.

"CHARLIE!?" Satan, Bee, Ozzie, Mammon, and Leviathan gasped, Belphegor jolting awake in shock.

Charlie shoved the reaper away before looking at Blitzø, her glare softening into a smile as she helped him up. "Are you okay?" she asked gently.

Blitzø was in shock. He almost died. But he was saved.

By Hell's own princess no less!

He tried to speak, but his voice fell silent. Tears pricked Blitzø's eyes as he ran up to Charlie and hugged her. He began to cry.

"T-Thank you... fuck I almost died b-but you saved me...!" he sobbed.

Charlie gently patted his back. "It's okay." she cooed. "Everything's going to be okay."

Charlie looked to the reapers and her expression went stern. "Uncuff the accused and get that fucking muzzle off that Hellhound, now!" she ordered.

"Charlie, stand down!" Satan ordered.

"NO!" Charlie snapped, facing the Sin of Wrath. "Heaven didn't listen to me, not once, but twice! And I won't let the same thing happen to these four! This trial was unjust and unfair!"

"Thank you! Finally somebody said it!" Vassago exclaimed.

"The bloody imp confessed to everything, what's more to say, Char?" Mammon asked dismissively. he wanted to get this over with.

"That Hellhound-what was your name?"

"L-Loona." Loona managed to say after the muzzle was removed.

"Right, thank you." nodded Charlie. "She was wearing a muzzle! Not only is that an insult to Aunt Bee, but she wasn't allowed to speak! None of them were allowed to! How is this trial fair if the accused aren't allowed to say their piece?!"

"She's right, you know!"

Everyone gasped as they looked behind them.

There, sitting on his throne, dusting off his rubber duck, was Lucifer.

"LUCIFER!" I.M.P., Vassago, Satan, Mammon, Leviathan, and Asmodeus exclaimed.

"Oh fuck..." Andrealphus paled.

"LUCI! YOU'RE BACK!" Bee buzzed happily, flying to to hug her fellow sin.

"Hey, Bee! Still buzzing brightly I see." Lucifer chuckled, returning the hug.

"Lord Lucifer! You came back?!" Satan asked in surprise, his stern bravado starting to fade.

"Well, kinda hard not to miss a trial when it's been broadcasted for all of Hell to see." Lucifer replied before unleashing his wings and flying over to face Satan. "Especially when it interrupted a live movie marathon Charlie and I were doing at the Hazbin Hotel with the staff and guests. I should thank you for that-" He cut himself off before glaring at Satan. "Scratch that, I shouldn't thank you for ignoring court protocols I set in place, throwing your weight around, silencing the accused, and letting your biased views run this trial. This behavior is unbecoming of a ruler and paints us sins in a bad light."

"I-I-I wasn't trying to disrespect you-OW!"

Satan was cut off when Lucifer whacked him on the snout with a rolled-up newspaper.

"We will discuss that later." Lucifer said. "For right now, we're going to restart this trial and do it right."

"Sense when do you care about the lowest of the hellborn classes?!" Mammon asked in disbelief.

"Since Charlie helped encourage me to do better, get out of my slump." Lucifer replied before glaring at Mammon. "Also, those 'lower class' you speak of work their asses off to make Hell livable for us as much as we do."

"He's right! The farming imps of Wrath work their asses off to make the Harvest Moon Festival happen!" chimed in Vassago.

"Thank you! Glad someone around here has sense!" Lucifer chuckled. "So! No executing the members of I.M.P. We're doing this trial the correct way." His eyes suddenly glowed red. "Is that a problem?"

"No!" the sins quickly chorused, though Bee and Ozzie were calm since things were going okay now.

"Good!" Lucifer said, retaking his seat. "Now then, let's review the charges then, shall we?"

"And I will be defending them." Charlie declared. "As the Princess of Hell, it is my duty to look after my people, and that's not limited to Sinners."

"Thank you so much, Princess!" Blitzø said in relief.

"Dammit all..." Andrealphus seethed under his breath. He had to figure out a way to sway this back in his favor.

"Now then." Lucifer said as he summoned a long piece of paper. "According to this, the Immediate Murder Professionals have been accused of the attempted murder of Prince Stolas of the Ars Goetia and stealing his Grimoire." Lucifer looked around. "So... where is he?"

"That's what I've been trying to point out!" Vassago exclaimed.

"If I may, my king." Andrealphus said, treating an ice pathway near the sins. "As I tried to explain to that scatterbrained parrot, Stella and I didn't want to put Stolas through the trauma of facing his aggressor!"

Lucifer gave him a flat look. "Really, Marquis? That's what you're going with? We need his statement regardless. And considering he isn't here, it's another reason why this trial is a farce." He turned to the reapers. "Bring Stolas in-"

Suddenly the doors burst open as Stolas ran in.

"STOP! DON'T EXECUTE THAT IM-!"

Stolas cut himself off when he saw Blitzø still alive, standing beside Charlie, Moxxie, Millie, and Loona.

"Oh. You're... you've not been beheaded." Stolas blinked in surprise.

"Stolas!" Lucifer grinned. "So glad you could make it! We were just about to send the Reapers to go get ya."

Charlie stepped forwards. "Prince Stolas of the Ars Goetia. The members of the Immediate Murder Professionals have been accused of trying to murder you. And the imp Blitzø Buckso has been accused of forcing himself onto you to get your Grimoire."

Stolas was surprised. "What? Of course not! None of that is true!"

"LIES!" Andrealphus shouted. "The imp obviously is forcng him to cover for him-!"

"BE SILENT, MARQUIS!" Satan roared, smoke coming out of his nostrils.

"Thank you, Uncle Satan." Charlie said.

Stolas stepped forward. "What me ex-brother-in-law says is nothing short but false." he said firmly. "Blitzø never stole my Grimoire as I... gave it to him. Or rather, I let him have it."

The Goetias murmured in surprise.

"And why did you let him have it?" Lucifer asked.

"For his business." said Stolas. "As I bet you all know, he and his group are assassins."

"Who do their illegal activities on the surface world!" Andrealphus shouted.

"Yes, that was mentioned in this paper." Lucifer said. "But you never asked them exactly what they did."

"We're assassins, your majesty." Blitzø replied. "But I wanted us to go unique and do something different for ourselves. We go to the surface world and kill humans that fucked over our clients who were sent down here."

Lucifer took that in. "I see... such a thing has never been attempted before."

"But do these targets deserve it?" questioned Leviathan.

"Well... guilty or innocent isn't really our job." admitted Millie, rubbing the back of her neck. "We just get paid to off whoever they want."

"But a lot of them are bad people!" Moxxie cut in. "Check the files!"

"I got this one." said Ozzie, opening a portal to the office and pulling out some paperwork. "After Blitzø saved my Fizzy Frog, I popped by a few times and I saw how they operate there."

"Yeah, glad that they fuckin' made my best act quit like a little bitch!" Mammon snarled.

Lucifer deadpanned at the Sin of Greed. "I was told about how that actually happened. Don't paint yourself as the victim, Mam." he said flatly.

Mammon shrunk in his seat as Ozzie handed the files to Yogirt.

"Here you are." the small, flame-headed demon said.

Satan looked at the files. "Alright, let's see here... this cannibal woman named Martha, lured men in with her beauty and charm before she and her family would eat them..." He cringed. "Fuck, people still do that? Sheesh... Lyle Lipton, rich man who experimented on the poor with his partner Loopty Goopty, bunch of killer penguins in Antartica, camp counselor named Jimmy who killed another counselor just because he stumbled onto a drug operation, Gerardo Velazquez, goat farmer and heavily implied poacher, Emberlynn Pinkle, writer who-OH FUCK that is nasty!" he cringed, seeing what her crime was for.

"Tell me about it..." Blitzø shivered.

"So you allowed them the book for this?" Lucifer questioned.

Stolas nodded. "Yes... and in exchange for Blitzø's use of my grimoire, he would..." he trailed off nervously.

"Go ahead." Charlie encouraged.

Stolas sighed. "In exchange, he would bring the book back for me so I may do mu duties and it would be followed by a night of passionate sex."

The godetias murmured in surprise.

"Madre dios, I did not see that coming." Vassago muttered.

"Ha! Another big top royal sleeping with a lower class pleb!" Mammon laughed.

"You wanna GO THERE AGAIN, MAM?!" Ozzie snapped.

Bee held him back.

"Oz, stand down!" Lucifer ordered before glaring at Mammon. "Leave them and their crushes out of this, Mam. And who gives a shit? If they wanna date them, that's fine. Now zip it."

Mammon quickly subsided.

"You see, I was never in love with my now ex-wife, Stella." Stolas explained. "I'm gay but I was forced to marry her as it was arranged on my birthday when I was a child. The only good part about it was that I had a beautiful daughter, Octavia. I tried to make my marriage to Stella work, but it was never enough for her. But Blitzø... he was my first real friend. I wanted so desperately to be in a good relationship, that that was the reason I made the deal with him... but I was wrong to do it. I realized that when I began to have feelings for him. I knew it was wrong of my to put him in this position. That's why I gave him an Asmodian Crystal so he wouldn't need the book anymore... and I cannot deny these feelings anymore!" He turned to the imp. "I love you, Blitzø! And I am so sorry I broke your heart!"

Blitzø was in tears. "And I'm sorry too! I'm so fucking sorry!"

The gallery murmured to each other in shock.

"YOU SEE! He manipulated Stolas-!" Andrealphus began before Satan cut him off.

"Save it, Marquis!" he ordered. "I think we can all tell that his feelings are genuine... however, that doesn't change the fact that Stolas illegally lent out his grimoire."

"Hate to say it, but my fellow sin does have a point." Lucifer nodded.

"Yes, but, Stolas entrusted Blitzø and his company with the grimoire." Charlie pointed out. "Stolas has never failed us before and if he trusted them with his book, that's gotta mean something."

"Why should it?! They're lower class scum!" Andrealphus tried to shout.

Lucifer shot him a warning glare. "Keep interrupting the court and I will hold you in contempt, Budget Elsa." he warned.

"Yes... my king." Andrealphus begrudgingly said.

"Well, you kept the book safe?" Lucifer asked.

"We did." Loona nodded. "I would be the one to use it to send them to the human world for their jobs. I would keep it in the office safe at all times. We only used one spell, and that was it."

Stolas presented the grimoire. "You see? It's in safe condition."

Yogirt flew it up to Lucifer who examined it. "Yep. Safe and sound." he nodded. "And using Ozzie's crystal does make their job legitimate, though it could be a cause for concern if any humans were to see you..."

"If I may?" Stolas piped up.

"Go ahead." the Sin of Pride nodded.

"Many humans have summoned us powerful demons over the years, including me." Stolas pointed out.

Many powerful demons couldn't help but nod, including the sins.

"That's true, their cults for us are so fucking weird." said Ozzie.

"I dunno, some of them know how to party." Bee countered. "I always manage to liven it up."

"Yeah, with my drugs!" Belphegor sneered.

"Hey, I only use them for the people here in Hell, not up there!" Bee retorted.

"Ozzie is correct, those that worship us really give me the creeps..." Satan shivered.

"Tell me about it, and some of their bloomin' sacrifices almost make no damn sense!" exclaimed Mammon.

"Yeup, pretty awkward for all of us, especially since it's really unnecessary." Lucifer said in agreement.

"I am so happy that hasn't happened to me yet..." shivered Charlie.

"Nor do we want it to happen to you, niece." said Leviathan's left head.

"If it helps, I have mentioned to Blitzø and his associates that the human world probably wouldn't believe any witnesses anyway, deeming them as 'kooks' per say." Stolas added before chuckling. "Still a funny word."

Lucifer laughed. "True, pretty funny word. Kooks! Who even came up with that anyway?"

"My king?" Yogirt said, flying up to Lucifer to get him back on track.

Lucifer cleared his throat. "Right, thanks. That is a good point regardless... although it could cause some concern..."

Moxxie raised his hand. Lucifer gestured for him to speak. "P-Perhaps we can make a compromise, your majesty King Lucifer?" he nervously offered.

Blitzø chuckled nervously. "Hehehe, Mox, the fruck are you doing...?" he asked.

Lucifer seemed intrigued. "Go on..."

Moxxie cleared his throat. "Your daughter, Charlie, her Hazbin Hotel is a place for sinners to rehabilitate, better themselves so they can be redeemed and get into Heaven." he said. "We can bring both our clients and targets to your daughter's hotel."

Charlie grinned. "YES!" she exclaimed. "This way you guys get rid of the bad people on Earth and we work to rehabilitate them down here! It's a win-win for both businesses!"

Lucifer perked up. "Hey, yeah! That is a good idea, Mr. Knolastname! We will make it happen once the trial's done!"

"That's my Moxxie!" Millie cheered.

"Well, way to fucking get us up there with the blue bloods!" Blitzø praised.

"Not bad." Loona smirked.

Moxxie blushed. "T-Thank you..." he said.

"HOLD ON!" Andrealphus shouted. "You cannot work with them! They're still guilty of trying to kill Stolas!"

"They did not try to kill me!" Stolas argued. "Sire, what my ex-brother-in-law speaks of is nothing more than lies and false accusations! When that Striker fellow tried to kill me, Blitzø sent his comrades, Moxxie and Millie Knolastname, to save me!"

"Why did you send them?" Lucifer asked Blitzø, curious.

"Believe me your royalness, I wanted to save him." said Blitzø. "But I had to take my Looney-Tuney in for her Hellbies Shot appointment. I could only get it every five fuckign years and if I missed it, then we'd have to wait another fucking five!"

Loona shivered. "Not a pleasant time in the damn slightest..." she said.

"Five years? That's not fair in the slightest!" Charlie frowned before looking up. "Aunt Bee, how could you let this happen to your people?!" she demanded.

Bee held her hands up defensively. "Hey, don't blame me, Candy Apple." she said. "The hospitals are Bel's thing." She glared at the Sloth Sin. "Bel, you old cow! You promised me that hellhounds get mandatory shots every year!"

"Well if you'd stop fucking stealing my drugs, maybe I'd follow up on that!" Belphegor sneered back.

"Girls, girls, quit your bitching!" Leviathan's left head huffed.

"Yeah, save it for the drinks!" her right head added.

"Her appointment was the same day Stolas was admitted into the hospital, King Lucifer." said Millie. "Check the records!"

"Do we have them here?" Lucifer asked.

The six sins and Yogirt shook their heads. Lucifer facepalmed.

"First, from what I read, taking a lot of things out of context from the accused and no proper evidence form either side? Geez you wannabe kangaroos have screwed the pooch on this trial." he groaned.

"We tried to tell them something was up!" Ozzie defended.

"But they fucking wouldn't listen!" Bee added.

"It was almost lunch time!" Mammon defended.

"Mam, for fuck's sake, stop thinking about your gut and shut up." Lucifer replied.

"If I may add something else!" Moxxie piped up,

"Go ahead. You have all the time now that you aren't being unfairly silenced." Lucifer replied.

"This was not the first time Striker tried to kill Stolas." Moxxie said. "The first time was at the Harvest Moon Festival in Wrath when we discovered he tried to do the deed... with a Carmine Rifle!"

Everyone gasped, the Goetia murmuring among them.

"Twice he tried to do that heinous deed?! ¡¿Que carajo?!" Vassago exclaimed.

"He tried to disrupt MY RING'S FESTIVAL!?" Satan roared in fury.

"Easy, Satan. Do not burn the marshmallow inside." Yogirt calmly advised.

Satan took his deep breaths. "Right. Thank you."

"How do we know that the imp didn't arrange the killings beforehand?!" Andrelphus accused. "For all we know, he took advantage of his dog's appointment to kill him!"

Loona and Blitzø growled at him.

"Well since you seem so sure, let's talk to the witness, shall we?" Lucifer suggested.

Andrealphus' face fell. "W-Wait, hold on, he already did so-"

"Oh good! Then let me hear it for myself!" Lucifer said with a scary grin.

"Will Striker the Cowboy please rejoin the court?" Charlie called.

The platform rose again, revealing a surprised Striker.

"What's goin' on here?! The fuck is this, I already spoke my piece!" he exclaimed.

"Well then you shouldn't be afraid to say it again." Charlie replied.

Striker was surprised. "The fucking princess?!" He turned and felt his heart stop when he saw Lucifer. "King Lucifer?!"

"In the Hellish flesh." he replied. "Now then, let's try this again. Who hired you to kill Stolas?"

Striker growled. "The imp Blitzø. He did." he said.

"Need I remind you that you are under Hell's Oath." Lucifer reminded.

Striker began to sweat. "It-It was him! He hired me to kill his precious birdie!" he insisted.

"I don't think he's being truthful." Ozzie said. "Not only did he try to kill a Goetic Prince twice, but he also kidnapped my boyfriend for the mob!"

"Oh, a repeat offender, huh?" Lucifer asked, giving a darkly amused look at Striker. "Sounds to me that you aren't being truthful, pardner."

Stolas raised his hand.

"Go ahead, Stols." Lucifer said.

"Your majesty, Striker speaks falsehoods." Stolas said. "Looking back now and knowing what this trial is all about, I know who is responsible for this." he gave a wicked smirk at Striker. "You let it slip when you tortured me in your hideout."

Striker's eyes widened.

"The one who hired him, not once, but twice, to kill me... WAS MY EX-WIFE STELLA!" Stolas shouted dramatically.

The Goetias gasped and murmured to each other.

"I knew it!" Vassago exclaimed. "I knew that puta had something to do with this!"

"How dare you!" Andrealphus roared. "My aggressively attractive sister had nothing to do with this! You have no fucking proof!"

"Oh, like how you had fucking proof we tried to kill Stolas?! Bullshit!" Blitzø snapped back.

"Order in the court!" Lucifer yelled before looking at Striker. "Well? Was it her?"

"Like Dad said, you're under Hell's Oath, Striker." Charlie said firmly.

Striker growled. He knew the game was up now that the two most powerful beings in all of Hell were here.

"Fuck it!" He snapped. "Yeah, it was Stolas' ex-wife! She wanted him killed out of spite! All because he slept with that fucking imp, claiming he's a disgrace to the Goetia name!" He pointed to Andrealphus. "That icy bitch knew too! He told her to call it off so she could keep his assets through her daughter! And then he arranged this whole case so those four fucks would die or Stolas would sacrifice everything to save them!" He looked at the sins. "He tricked all six of you! He used Satan's own bigoted racist views against him!"

The court was shocked as the Goetias murmured to each other.

"Puta madre..." Vassago murmured.

The sins were in shock.

"The FUCK!?" Bee exclaimed.

"Oy!" Mammon shouted to a now nervous Andrealphus. "You played us for fuckin' fools ya icy cunt?!"

"I-Well-You see-HE LIES!" Andrealpus tried to say.

"Look who's talking!" Striker snapped, showing the writing on his hand. "He had me rehearse this shit written here since this was all rushed by Satan's word!"

Lucifer gave Satan a dark glare, a glare matched by his daughter. "You and your racist bigotry, why am I not surprised you got played for a fucking chump...?" he said in annoyance. "Restrain Marquis Andrealphus!" he ordered.

The chains that were used to hold Blitzø in place now restrained Andrealphus.

"Reapers! Bring Stella in at once!" Lucifer ordered. "And restrain Striker too!"

More chains restrained the hybrid as the Reapers took off.

"The fuck?! I confessed! I was promised immunity!" Striker yelled.

"Lemme guess, Andre told you that?" Charlie asked with a flat look. "Even if that were true, you lied three times to the court saying Blitzø and his workers did this. You committed perjury to the court."

"My niece speaks the truth. You're not out of the woods anymore." Satan sneered.

"Agh, fuck this day!" Striker yelled.

"I had a feeling that bitch was no good..." Blitzø said before seeing the cameras. "Still rolling? Hell's gonna be in a fucking frenzy knowing that two rich blue bloods tried to get us and Stolas killed and trick all the sins."

"Oh, I don't doubt that." Stolas said.

"We will now have a recess!" Lucifer said.

"Good!" said Charlie. "I need to make some calls."

Bar:

Versoika was relieved that Blitzø wasn't gonna be beheaded, though she was shocked that Stella tried to get Stolas killed.

"Wow... no wonder Stolas was desperate for a good relationship..." she murmured. "If that's what his life was like with that fucking woman... yeesh."

Ozzie's Home:

Fizz was relieved that his best friend was okay and in shock as well. "Fuck, now I feel bad for the hard time Oz and I gave Stolas." he said in guilt. "I gotta pop by his place for an apology when this is all done."

Stolas' Mansion:

Octavia was in shock and disbelief about what she just saw on the TV.

"What?! Mum tried to kill Dad?!" she exclaimed, not sure what to believe.

Then, Stella and several of the servants came by with luggage.

"Mum, what the bloody hell is going on?!" Octavia demanded.

"Octavia, dear, nothing of the sort!" Stella said, panic in her tone. "Right now, we need to get the fuck outta here-!"

The doors suddenly burst open as the Reapers swarmed in.

"There she is!" said one.

"Get her!" said another.

The imp servants were restrained as Stella was pushed abasing the wall, handcuffs snapping around her wrists behind her back.

"OY! UNHAND ME AT ONCE!" Stella screeched. "Do you even know who I am?!"

"Yes, we do." a reaper said.

"You're Princess Stella of the Ars Goetia." said another. "And you've been accused of several accounts for the attempted murder of Prince Stolas by a witness, as well as placing the blame on three imps and a hellhound."

"LIES! It's all fucking lies!" Stella yelled as she was dragged to a portal.

"Go about your business." a reaper said to the servants.

The imps immediately got back to work, dropping all of Stella's stuff.

None of the reapers noticed Octavia, who had seen her mother get handcuffed, follow behind.

Courtroom, around that time:

"How fast can you get it?" Charlie asked into her phone. "That's perfect! Thank you!"

Charlie hung up as she faced I.M.P. "How are you guys holding up?" she asked.

"Feelin' a lot better since you and your daddy showed up." Millie said with a smile.

"Fuck, we are so glad you're here, Princess." Blitzø said.

Charlie giggled. "Just call me Charlie." she said.

"Of course." Moxxie nodded.

"Honestly, I wasn't sure if any of you rich folk would give two shits about us lower-class folk." Blitzø admitted.

Charlie frowned. "Blitzø, that's not true." she said before pausing. "Okay, maybe Uncles Satan and Mammon do, unfortunately, maybe Aunt Levy and Auntie Bel, but the rest do. Including me. Dad was... hesitant to come, but when I reminded him that we have to do better for our people, both sinners and hellborn alike, just like at the hotel for the former, that got him inspired... that and seeing how far Uncle Satan was willing to go just to establish his rule." Charlie sighed. "I am so disappointed in him."

"Hey, everyone's got that in their family." Blitzø said. "For me, it's Cash Buckso. Fucking excuse of a father."

"I know the feeling with my own." said Moxxie.

"Not sure what the deal was with my birth folks... but fuck 'em." said Loona. She turned to Millie. "Guess you're the only one here without a shitty family."

"Guess so..." Millie murmured.

"But there are other royals who do care." Charlie insisted, gesturing towards some people coming over.

It was Stolas, Bee, Ozzie, and Vassago.

"You four okay?" Ozzie asked.

"We are now that the Morningstars are calling the shots instead of Satan." said Moxxie.

"Look, we're so sorry we couldn't do anything to stop that hotheaded asshole from silencing you." apologized Bee. "But his word was law until Luci and Charlie showed up."

"If we did try to challenge him, it'd be useless." said Ozzie.

"At least you guys gave a shit to try and defend us." Loona said with a small smile.

"I always knew Andrealphus was full of nonsense." Vassago said. "This whole mierda of a trial; Stolas being intentionally absent, lack of evidence, Andrealphus trying to be a gaslighting puta, it had to be put right."

"And I wasn't gonna let them chop off your head." Stolas said firmly. "Had Charlotte and her father not interfered, I would've taken the blame myself."

I.M.P. looked at him in shock.

"But Stols... what about everything back home?" Blitzø asked.

"And Via?" Loona asked.

Stolas winced. "Bloody hell, I almost forgot about Via..." he gasped. He turned to Blitzø. "I cannot imagine my life without her or you... but now that I know what's really going on, I'm hoping things will work out."

"They will." promised Charlie. "Dad and I will make sure the true masterminds get punished and the accused go free."

"Where is your dad anyway?" asked Moxxie.

"Giving Satan an earful." Bee snickered. "Ozzie and I are off the hook since we did try speaking up."

And Bee was right. Lucifer was scolding Satan for his reckless actions.

"My king, I-I wasn't trying to disrespect you-" Satan tried to say, but was cut off by Lucifer's fake laughing as he flew up to the Sin of Wrath's face.

"Nice try, bucko." he said with a fake smile. "But you ain't gonna bullshit your way out of this one."

"I was trying to keep things in order while you totaled off to who-the-fuck-knows-where!" Satan argued. "You left me in charge!"

Lucifer sighed, glancing at his wedding ring. "You're right. I was not in a good spot after Lilith left. I should've contacted you guys better." He then gave Satan a firm look. "But your actions have no excuse either. You ignored my rules and protocols for court cases. When Lily and I fell, Heaven tried to make this whole place our punishment. But she encouraged me to do better. That's why I tried to make things around here fair since Heaven has so many rules and the higher ups can be so stuck-up and paranoid sometimes. And that's what you were. You thought the creatures of Hell were gonna rise up and rebel. Well guess what? That's what was gonna happen if you executed those four!"

"I was trying to keep the peace!" Satan retorted.

Lucifer laughed. "Just face it, you don't like anyone challenging your rule." he huffed before glaring. "Well guess what? I am. Had that execution gone through, Hell would've rebelled. Even if we are more powerful than them, we need them like they need us. And you haven't done jackshit to earn their respect. Imps seen and not heard? Sheesh, you are just as entitled and arrogant as Adam!"

Satan blanched. "You're actually comparing me to that brat of a human?!" he exclaimed.

"Well let's see... you both are hypocrites, think you can do whatever you want when there are bigger fish up there, you think you're entitled to everything just because of your status and power." Lucifer replied. "You forget, the only reason why you have yogurt power, your ring, and this compensating physique is because of me. You were a lizard when I fell! And you think you can place yourself above me?!" He pinched the bridge between his eyes. "Why must we have this discussion every time...? You act like you deserve to be the king of all of Hell when you're not for many good reasons. When I left you in charge, that didn't mean you could just ignore my rules' specially in court cases. You let your biased views do the talking, silenced the accused, and didn't gather proper evidence. You just listened to a fellow royal who's been showing nothing but red flags even before all this bullshit started! And you were gonna broadcast an execution?! That is low even for you, and that's saying something considering where we live! You have brought shame and disgrace to this whole trial and to all of Hell! And I know Charlie is extremely disappointed in you for your behavior."

Satan winced. He hated disappointing his niece.

"So here's what's gonna happen..." Lucifer said firmly. "We look at all the evidence again, hear both sides, and then we act accordingly. Since no one died, there is no need to kill anyone. And since you have proven yourself to be incompetent, I will decide on the sentencing. Am I clear?"

Satan gulped. "Y-Yes my king..." he said with a bow.

"Good. Now back to your seat." Lucifer ordered.

Satan nodded and shamefully walked off.

Lucifer sighed. "I should've known everything would go to shit when I left..." he said, looking at his ring. "Don't know how you managed to do it Lily..."

He looked determined.

"Charlie wants to make sure this is done right... and I will make sure of that too."

Soon the Sins had returned while a portal opened up and the Reapers forced Stella into the courtroom.

"Unhand me at once!" she screeched.

"Jolly as ever." deadpanned Asmodeus.

But just as the portal closed, Octavia leapt through.

"What's going on?!" she demanded.

Stolas gasped. "Octavia?! What's re you doing here, Owlette?" he exclaimed.

"Via! Hi! Good to see you again, cuz!" Charlie greeted.

"Charlie? King Lucifer?" Octavia asked in astonishment. "Can someone tell me what's going on here?! Mom, why are they saying you tried to kill Dad?!"

"None of it is true, Via!" Stella exclaimed.

"The witness begs to differ." Lucifer said. "So Stella, you're saying you're innocent in this whole debacle?"

"Of course I am!" Stella snapped. "I don't know what that hybrid bitch is saying about me, but none of it is true! Brother, tell them!"

"My attractive sister and I are innocent!" Andrealphus insisted.

"I had a feeling that you two wouldn't comply since Striker confessed." Charlie smirked. "Which is why I made some phone calls. Ladies and gentlemen, may I present Weapons Overlord Carmilla Carmine and VoxTech employee Baxter!"

The doors burst open as Carmilla and Baxter walked into the court room. The Goetia murmured in surprise.

"Greetings, everyone in the court." Carmilla greeted.

"Sinners?! What the bloody hell do they have to do with this?!" Stella demanded.

"Yes, they're not witnesses to anything!" Andrealphus added.

"Maybe not, but Carmilla runs the weapons factory that makes angelic weaponry, which manufactured that rifle Striker had." Charlie smirked. "And she keeps the paperwork."

Stella and Andrealphus paled as Carmilla helped up some papers.

"These documents show the purchase for the rifle that was used to try and assassinate Stolas during the Harvest Moon Festival." she said, handing them to Yogirt to show the sins. "The money came straight from the credit card belong8ng to Princess Stella. The date corresponds."

"You stupid cow, you didn't use cash?!" Andrealphus whispered in anger.

"Don't yell at me!" Stella snapped back loudly. "Well what does that prove?! I bought it for protection!" she shouted to thr court.

"You and Stolas are already powerful and have security." Charlie countered. "Why need for weapons when you have all of that?"

"W-Well what does that fish fuck have to do with anything?!" Stella tried to counter.

Baxter pulled out his laptop and pressed a button to show a hologram on the wall.

"Thanks to my genius intellect and my 100+ years of being a scientist, I was able to hack into the cellphone records for both Striker and Stella, personal or from another location." the angler fish sinner said. He clicked on each document. "This one shows the phone calls between them days prior, most likely to arrange the assassination. Then there was this phone call to Carmine Industries for the order of that rifle. And then there was a phone call from the Hideaway Motel in Wrath, straight from the telephone in the room Striker was registered in, most likely to tell her that the attempt ended in failure thanks to I.M.P. And then these show the calls between them the day Stolas was kidnapped and tortured in that cowboy's hideout. The date is the same as Loona's helbies shot, which concluded before Stolas was admitted into the very same hospital it was at in Sloth." Baxter then pulled up another phone record. "In the span of those days, Striker was never in contact with Blitzø or any members of I.M.P. over the phone, cell or work. So no, he could not have been contacted to have Stolas assassinated."

"Well look at that!" Lucifer smirked. "The evidence that was missing and my daughter helped bring it to the light!"

"All this evidence proves I.M.P. didn't try to kill Stolas." Charlie said. "Stella arranged it all. And Andrealphus knew."

The Goetias and sins were in shock.

But none were more shocked and betrayed than Octavia.

"Mum, how could you?!" she demanded.

"Stol-ASS is a disgrace to our family and all the Goetias!" Stella snapped. "I did my part for the Goetia family; married that wretch against my will since it was arranged when we were fucking children and sired an heir! And how does he repay me?! By sleeping with a fucking low-class imp!"

Octavia gasped. She looked at Stolas. "Dad… is that true?" she asked.

Stolas sighed. "Via… your mother and I were arranged to be married since we were children. We never loved each other, but I did my best to make it work for you, my owlette."

"So I was just a burden then?!" Octavia asked in tears.

"Absolutely not!" Stolas said firmly, running over to his daughter. "When I first held you, my heat soared! I never felt so happy to be a father! You were the best thing to ever happen to me, my starfire!" He sighed. "I should've been honest about it, but I didn't want to make your life harder… but I did when I had my affair with Blitzø. All I wanted was to feel loved by a significant other. But I put him in a bad position. It wasn't right… especially since I began to feel feelings for him too, true feelings! I can't imagine my life without you or him in it!" He turned to Blitzø. "I love you, Blitzø! And I am so sorry for everything!"

Blitzø was in tears as he ran up to Stolas. "I fucking love you too! And I'm so fucking sorry!" he cried as the two hugged.

"They really do love each other." smiled Millie.

"YOU SEE?!" Stella roared. "He's a disgrace to our kind! He tried to make our family work?! Please! The only thing that wasn't working was his fucking brain for sleeping with the lowest forms of Hell! He's nothing more than a wretched (BLEEP)! I would've done the Goetias a favor getting rid of him for good!"

I.M.P. and everyone on their side glared at her.

Lucifer suddenly flew down in front of Stella, deadpanning at her. "Lady, it's the 21st century and I'm a pansexual fallen Seraphim angel who married a winner angel and my daughter is a bisexual nephlim and dating a fallen exorcist who's been on her own redemption path for almost five years. And practically everyone here is part of the LGBT+ community, including your own brother. You think that bullshit talk is gonna work here? As if! So I'd keep your trap shut." he said sternly.

"Yes, your majesty…" Stella begrudgingly obliged.

Lucifer flew back to his throne.

"S-So you never loved Dad?! And is that all I am to you?! Just a precautionary heir?!" Octavia snapped at Stella.

"I did my part to bring you to this life while Stol-ASS did nothing but be a nuisance!" Stella sneered.

"OH FUCK YOU, YOU SCREECHING BITCH!" Blitzø snapped. "Stolas isn't perfect but he tries his best! He was dealt a bad fucking hand and tried to make the most of it! Octavia is lucky to have a dad like him since he cares! All you care about is your money, status, power, and fucking other rich pricks! Same thing with your icy brother!"

"How dare you!" Andrealphus sneered back.

"Stolas isn't perfect. But who is?! We're in fucking hell for god's sake!" Blitzø went on.

"Don't imps say 'Satan' instead of 'God'?" Baxter whispered to Carmilla.

"Given that the Sin of Wrath was running a kangaroo court and declared that his own creations should be seen, not heard, and be devoid of free will, I don't blame the taller imp." The overlord whispered back.

"Via, listen, I'm sorry for getting in the way… but you are an awesome girl from the way your dad and my Loona talk about you." Blitzø said to the princess. "You deserved better than that harpy for a mother… because you are one of the greatest hellborns I've ever met. And if your dad and I ever got married, I'd be more than happy to have you as another daughter."

"And I'd love it if you were my sister." Loona added with a smile

Octavia was stunned. The imp who her dad had had an affair with and his adopted hellhound daughter who she thought was cool wanted her as part of their family?

Maybe she misjudged them after all.

"Well there you have it, ladies, gentlemen, and non-binaries of the court." Lucifer said. "Years of abuse behind closed doors, several attempts on Stolas' life, and trying to rig the court for an unfair execution and getting Stolas' position."

"Now that definitely screams guilty." nodded Bee.

"We've been betrayed by two of our own." Satan sneered.

"Hey! I called off the second assassination attempt!" Andrealphus snapped.

"Most likely because you knew that if Stolas died, everything would go to Octavia!" Vassago retorted. "You kept him alive and arranged this whole thing so he'd take the fall of the execution fell through and you'd keep your rich lifestyle by the time she turned eighteen!"

"That's all you ever bloody cared about! Just your power and position!" Octavia glared. "Never about me, or Dad!"

"Via, you don't understand-!" Stella tried to say.

"I think she does." Charlie cut in with a glare. "She's almost an adult and isn't gonna fall for your condescending and gaslighting words. Not anymore."

"She would've been better off with Stella and I raising her!" Andrealphus shouted. "And I would've been better in Stolas' position than he ever was!"

"Your entitlement speaks otherwise." Lucifer said before sighing. "How many times do I have to tell you all not to eye each other's thrones?"

Satan felt that that was directed at him.

"Reapers! Hold these three while the sins and I decide their punishment!" Lucifer ordered.

The reapers dragged Striker and the two screaming siblings away.

"Thank you for your help." Charlie thanked Carmilla and Baxter.

"Pleasure was all mine for my intellect to be used to bring down such entitled, hypocritical higher ups in exchange for you lot giving me my space and having my bedsheets arranged the way I like them." Baxter said.

"And I'm glad I helped put an abusive mother and spouse away." Carmilla said as she and Baxter left.

"So what's gonna happen now?" Blitzø asked.

"My dad, aunts, and uncles will decide the trio's punishments." Charlie said.

"And us?" Stolas asked. "I don't wish to lose Via..."

"I'll talk to them too." said Charlie. "I may be your lawyer, but I'm also the heir to the throne. I want to be fair to all of people... if you four can give me a reason to do so in this case." she said to I.M.P.

"Whatever you decide... we will follow you." Moxxie nodded. "After all you've done for us in the past hours more than the sins have in the past several years, we owe you a lot."

Charlie smiled. "I think our partnership will speak for itself." she said as she walked off.

After 30 minutes, Charlie and the 7 Deadly Sins returned.

Blitzø, Moxxie, Millie, Loona, Stolas, Octavia, and Vassago waited anxiously as Stella, Andrealphus, and Striker remained chained up, guarded by the reapers.

"Now for the sentences." Lucifer said. "Will the Immediate Murder Professionals stand forward please?"

Blitzø, Moxxie, Millie, and Loona stood up nervously.

"You four have been found innocent of stealing the Grimoire and trying to assassinate Stolas." Lucifer said. "Though your record in your assassin job is a bit spongey, Moxxie's idea for a proper partnership can help clear things up and everyone benefits from it. Charlie?"

Charlie faced them. "From now on, you will be working with the Hazbin Hotel in a partnership like Moxxie suggested." she said. "You're still in charge of your company, Blitzø, I can respect that. We just have to cover some new priorities. You will get proper disguises like Loona, you will do background checks on the targets to make sure they actually deserve death and to end up down here, and if not, send the client on their way. And with that crystal you are under Uncle Ozzie's protection so you will submit reports to him at the end of working hours."

Blitzø was surprised but relieved. Sure things at work were gonna be more different from now on, but if it meant living to see another day, providing for his daughter and his employees more, and being in the good graces of the Royal Family, then by all means!

Plus, they'd all probably be paid more straight from the Morningstars.

"Y-Yeah, sure thing! Fuck yeah, let's do it!" Blitzø replied.

"Glad we're in agreement." Lucifer nodded. "Prince Stolas. Normally, you would be found guilty of lending out the Grimoire just like that, but you put your trust in these four and it was kept safe. And you were uninformed of this trial and it almost went completely off the rails before you, Charlie, and I salvaged it. So I will let you off with a warning. Consult me next time since Paimon's been off grid for a while. Also, custody of Octavia is now permanently going to you until she turns 18. In which time, you will be training her to use her powers properly."

"Thank you, my king! I won't let you down!" promised Stolas, holding Octavia close.

"I know you won't." Lucifer nodded before turning to the three troublemakers. "Now for the real masterminds behind all this bullshit. Striker! You may have been hired for the job and promised leniency, but you are guilty of perjury, two counts of attempted assassination and kidnapping, and I bet your record speaks for itself. I'm sentencing you to 10 years behind bars, then probation, and then we'll decide an occupation for ya."

Striker glowered but relented. "Very well... but please, my horse Bombproof, he's had nothing to do with this. I want him to be looked after." he pleaded.

"We know where his hideout is, we can get his horse to my family ranch to be looked after." said Millie.

Lucifer nodded. "Very well." he said. "If you behave, we'll let you have supervised visits."

"And make sure he behaves for Millie's family." Moxxie added.

Striker nodded.

Lucifer faced the Goetias. "And now... the blue blood traitors." he sneered. "A combination of spouse abuse, treason, conspiracy to commit murder more than once, perjury, incrimination, defamation, and false testimony either here or by proxy, aiding and abetting, obstruction of justice, coercion, fraud, manipulating the trial, lying to the sins and wasting their time, whoa-nelly that is a shitload of things to be guilty of for you two troublesome siblings."

"Your point?" Stella deadpanned.

"Will you shut your fucking trap?!" Andrealphus snapped.

Lucifer held his hand up. "For all those multiple crimes, you are stripped of your titles permanently, all your assets go to Stolas and Octavia, and you will be spending the rest of your lives behind bars." he said.

"WHAT?! NO! I REFUSE! YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!" Stella yelled.

"You should've thought of that before trying to kill your husband." Satan deadpanned.

"I DID MY DUTIES FOR THE GOETIAS WHILE STOL-ASS SLEPT WITH A FUCKING IMP!" Stella roared. "HE'S A DISGRACE!"

"The only disgrace around here is you two and your lackey!" Stolas snapped back. "I tried to provide a good home for you and Via but it was never enough!"

"You don't love Dad, you never loved me, I'm glad I won't have a mother like you anymore!" Octavia snapped back.

The seven sins held their hands up and Stella and Andrealphus felt their powers slowly and painfully be stripped away until they were nothing more than powerless birds.

Lucifer floated up into the air. "You three buffoons did try your luck in tricking my fellow sins, but not all of us are biased like you idiots." he said.

Music suddenly sounded out as Lucifer turned into his true demon form. Charlie hopped up behind him, in her true demon form too as both glared at the guilty party.

"I am the Mastermind... and here, I am the LAW!" Lucifer sang.

"He is the LAW!" the sins chorused.

"Lilith and I ruled the endless night, ever since our tragic and unfair fall!" Lucifer sang. "So you see... next to us your master plans are so small! LITTLE MICE! You break our rules, you PAY. OUR. PRIIIIIIICE!"

"Get. Them. Outta here." ordered Charlie.

The Reapers escorted Andrealphus and Striker out and dragged a screaming Stella out last before the doors shut behind them.

"Further more, Charlie has other words to say." Lucifer said as he and Charlie transformed back to their normal forms.

"From now on, imps and hellhounds are to be given better treatment as their status is now valued as much as me, my father, the Goetia royals, and the other sins." Charlie said. "And since the arranged marriage played a part in this shitshow, the Goetias are allowed to chose who they wish to marry, whether it's one of their own species or any of the other species down here; imp, hellhound, succubis, you name it! No more of this 'higher class and plebs' bullshit! So says me, Charlotte Morningstar, Princess of Hell and heir to the throne!"

Everyone was shocked and murmured to each other in disbelief.

"And if anyone from the peanut gallery and who still bothered too watch this live is pissed off by my daughter's first new order... just remember who's the real MOTHERFUCKING KING OF HELL!" Lucifer said, his voice echoing, eyes red, and horns showing at the end.

There was a long silence.

"Well said, mi rey!" Vassago called.

"Thanks, 'Sago!" Lucifer called cheerily. "Alright, case dismissed!"

"WHOO! FUCKIN' LUNCHTIME!" Mammon cheered, pulling out boxes of green chicken and began to chow on them loudly and messily, practically slamming his head into them.

The sins, including Bee, the Sin of Glouttony, stared in disgust.

"Hold your green meat, Mam. I need to have a word with you sins." Lucifer said. "I.M.P., Stolas, Octavia, Vassago, wait outside with Charlie please."

"Of course, my king." Stolas nodded.

"Everyone else, dismissed!" Lucifer called.

The court dispersed.

As soon as the doors closed, Loona, Moxxie, and Millie ran over and hugged Blitzø.

"Sir!" Moxxie cried.

"Dad!" Loona cried, wrapping her tail around Blitzø.

"Don't you ever fucking do that again!" begged Millie.

"Fuck me... I almost died..." Blitzø breathed, now realizing that he almost lost his life.

"Why would you do it...?!" Millie begged.

"B-Because I couldn't let you all die for my fuck-ups!" Blitzø cried. "I was the one who dragged you into this..."

"But if it wasn't for you... Millie and I never would've met..." Moxxie sniffed.

"Dad, I can't lose you!" Loona cried, tears in her eyes. "You gave me a home, clothes, food, a job a-and... fuck, I'm so sorry for being such a bitch to you..."

"And I'm sorry I've been babying you..." Blitzø apologized. "I just wanted to be better dad than mine was... but I should've been the father you needed, not the father I wanted to be..."

He hugged them all tighter.

"I'm not going anywhere..." he promised.

He turned to face Stolas.

"You really meant it in there?" Blitzø asked.

"With every fiber in my being." Stolas replied. "I'm so sorry for everything..."

"Me too..." Blitzø nodded, taking Stolas' hand. "I want to make this work... and I mean, really fucking work..."

"Me too... but it may take some time... but as long as you're with me..." Stolas said with a smile.

"He really makes you happy, Dad?" Octavia asked.

"You both do, Via." Stolas replied. "I am sorry I wasn't honest with you. I didn't want to burden you with my problems. I only wanted to give you a better childhood than I had..."

"You did your best." Octavia nodded. "A good friend once told me that this shit isn't easy... but parents do try their best..."

Loona smiled.

"I guess I was kidding myself when I wanted things to go back to normal." Octavia sighed before looking at Stolas with a smile. "But at least I know you truly care for me."

"I always have. And I always will." Stolas said, hugging her.

"So will I." Blitzø promised.

Stolas then had an idea. "Blitzø? How would you and Loona like to move in with Via and I?" he offered.

Blitzø and Loona were surprised.

"Fucking wha-you want us to move in?" Blitzø asked in surprise.

"I care about you and Via and Loona are already best friends." Stolas said. "And I have heard whispers that it's hard for imps to have good jobs, hence why I was impressed when you started your own business, even if it wasn't a circus like you said during our first meet. If I'm going to be in your lives... I want them to be good, like what I tried to do for Stella, even when she didn't want or like it."

Blitzø and Loona traded glances before smiling.

"We'd like that, Stols." said Blitzø.

"Guess you got a new big sis, Via." Loona smirked, giving Octavia a playful punch in the arm.

"I think I'll like it." Octavia smirked back, playfully punching Loona's arm in return.

Charlie and Vassago smiled at them all.

"They do make a good familia." the Goetia parrot hummed.

"I so agree." Charlie beamed before glancing back at the doors. "I hope Dad isn't being to harsh on the others."

"Your uncle was running a kangaroo court ever since your papa left, Princessa." Vassago sighed. "Even without Andrealphus manipulating him, he ignored protocols, acted biased, and tried to rush it, all because he didn't like anyone questioning his authority. You and Lucifer, you made things right. He's just continuing that."

As soon as the doors shut, leaving the Sins alone, Lucifer spun around and faced Satan with a stern look on his face.

"Uh oh..." Bee, Ozzie, Mammon, Leviathan, and Belphegor gulped.

They knew that looked.

"Striker, Andrealphus, and Stella may have been punished... but there is one more who hasn't received one yet." he said darkly. "You, Satanas."

Satan gulped.

Full name.

This was not gonna be good.

"You ignored my rules and protocols, rushed the trial, silenced one side while favoring the other, didn't gather evidence, destruction of property in my ring while apprehending, and you nearly unleashed an unlawful execution for everyone across the rings to see." Lucifer sneered in disgust, flying up as he began to shift into his full form. "You have brought shame and disgrace to this courtroom!"

"I never meant to disrespect you!" Satan said nervously. "I only wished to preserve order! Someone had to do it, I told you!"

"And in doing so, you basically tried to place yourself above me again!" Lucifer growled, his eyes glowing redder. "I don't know how the human world thinks you're on top, but that ain't how the fucking story goes! You were just a lizard when I fell! Your powers, your ring, your position, they only exist because of me! I am the mastermind! I am the law! I AM THE MOTHERFUCKING KING OF HELL!"

He grabbed Satan by the snout roughly, making him wince and the other sins step back nervously.

"You aren't king of all of Hell for a good reason!" Lucifer snapped. "And it looks as though once again I gotta take you down over a hundred pegs again."

Lucifer snapped his fingers. Red gauntlets appeared on Satan's wrists and glowed brightly. Satan roared and screamed in pain as he began to shrink down and grow weaker.

"Whoa-whoa boy!" yelped Mammon.

"Fucking hell!" cried Bee.

"Oh shit!" yelped Ozzie.

"Fuck me!" gasped Leviathan's heads.

"Oh goodness!" gasped Belphegor.

When the glow faded, Satan was now at Ozzie's average height.

"W-What the fuck just happened?" he panted, cuthcling his sides.

"I have stripped you for 90% of your powers." Lucifer replied, going back to his average form. "For your punishment in running a rigged court for the past several years, you are on probation until further notice. I will be keeping an eye on your ring until you've learned your lesson. Charlie, Yogirt, and I will be keeping an eye on you, even if you can't do much in your condition."

Satan was upset, but knew better than to cross someone as powerful as Lucifer. "Yes... my king." he nodded.

"Are you sure you can run two rings, Luci?" Ozzie asked.

"Oz, I ran all of Hell before you six came into the picture." Lucifer said. "Yeah, I had Lily by my side, but I was still powerful enough to do so whenever she was sick or busy." He eyed Mammon. "It may be three soon since Ozzie told me about how you've been treating your employees, especially Fizzarolli."

Mammon gulped. "Aw, bugger..." he hissed.

"Sorry, Mam. But your reckless fun is over." Lucifer said. "You may all run your rings and have created specific hellborn, but as I said, I am the king of all of Hell. And that's every single fucking ring, which includes the six of you. Things are changing around here. Charlie's helped inspire me. And it's time you all get with the picture."

He turned to Bee and Ozzie.

"Thank you for being the only sensible ones in the courtroom outside of Vassago." he said with a smile. "I'm glad you tried to step up for I.M.P. That is a good quality in rulers. I understand that your hands were tied, but I'm still happy that you tried."

"Hey, no prob at all, Lucifer!" Bee smiled.

"Yeah! Their good in our books!" nodded Ozzie.

Lucifer faced the other four. "You guys can learn something from them." he said. "This ain't the medieval times for fuck's sake." He clapped his hands. "Now back to your rings. I'll be seeing you next week to start looking over the files of the court cases in the last several years to see if the punishments truly fit the crimes or not."

"Oh, but that'll take fuckin' forever!" Mammon whined.

"Don't blame me, blame the biased sin running this kangaroo court." Lucifer replied.

Satan winced but nodded. "I will work to make things right." he said.

"I'll hold you to that." Lucifer nodded. "Now then, Sins dismissed!"

Portals were activated as Mammon, Satan, Belphegor, and Leviathan went back to their respective rings.

Lucifer opened the doors as he, Bee, and Ozzie walked out of the courtroom to the hall where they reunited with Charlie, I.M.P., and the Goetias.

"Ah, welcome back." Vassago greeted.

"Everything go okay in there, Dad?" Charlie asked. "I heard a lot of yelling."

"Don't worry, Char. Everything worked out okay." promised Lucifer before turning to I.M.P. "I apologize for the botched trial. Satan's been punished. He won't be giving you any grief anytime soon. And if he does, I'll know."

"Good to hear." Blitzø grinned.

"Just make sure you guys don't fake up the new partnership, or I might not be so lenient next time." Lucifer warned.

"D-Dully noted." Moxxie nodded.

"Thanks again, the four of you, for all your help." said Millie.

"Yeah, you three sins are alright." said Loona.

"Thanks, Sour Cream!" Bee smiled.

"And Pri-Charlie, thanks for caring for us." said Blitzø.

"Of course! You guys are my people too!" Charlie beamed.

"And Vassago, thank you as well." Stolas smiled. "You were the only Goetia who knew something was amiss and wanted to straighten things out."

"Yes, thank you, Uncle Vassago." smiled Octavia.

"Of course. You're family. And I can tell Mr. Buckso means a lot to you, amigo." Vassago smiled.

Charlie approached I.M.P. "Say, why don't you guys join us for lunch at the Hazbin Hotel? My treat!" she offered.

"R-Really? W-Well thank you so much!" Moxxie grinned.

"It'd be a fucking honor!" Blitzø grinned.

"Hell yeah!" Loona beamed.

"Yee-fuckin'-haw!" Millie cheered.

"Mind if we go too?" Octavia asked her father.

"I'd love to." Stolas smiled.

"I'd wish I could join, but I gotta see how Fizzy's holdin' up." said Ozzie.

"Same with Tex." said Bee.

"And I have my own duties to oversee." said Vassago. "We will take a raincheck."

"See you around!" Charlie said as Vassago and Ozzie began to walk away.

Bee then turned to Loona. "See ya at my next party, Sour Cream." she said with a sexy smirk before giving Loona a quick kiss on the cheek, making the hellhound blush and the Sin of Gluttony giggle as she followed her fellow sin and the Goetia parrot.

Soon, the Morningstars, father and daughter Goetia duo, and I.M.P. took their leave too.

"We did good, Dad." Charlie said to Lucifer with a satisfied smile.

"We sure did, Char-Char." Lucifer smiled back.

Hazbin Hotel:

Stolas, Octavia, and I.M.P. walked into the hotel as Charlie and Lucifer led them inside.

"Welcome to the Hazbin Hotel!" Charlie beamed.

The six looked around in awe at their surroundings. Husk was pouring drinks, Niffty was cleaning with a rag, Angel and Cherri sat in the lobby drinking Harder Daddies, Kee-Kee flew around, Razzle held a tray of refreshments, and Fat Nuggets ate from his dish.

"Damn! You guys really pulled out all the stops!" Blitzø commented.

"It's so fancy!" said Moxxie.

"Could give you a run for your money." Loona quipped to Stolas.

"I suppose so, yes." Stolas nodded, impressed.

"I'm so happy you guys decided to join us for dinner." Charlie smiled.

"Hey, you saved our lives and gave us a partnership!" said Millie. "It's the least we could do!"

Alastor suddenly appeared from the shadows, startling the group.

"So these are the individuals who survived a trial conducted by the Sin of Wrath." he mused. "I must say, it's quite the rare sight to see anyone survive such an event in the past seven years our dear king has been gone. You must be quite thrilled to have escaped such a fate!"

"Wow, the Radio Demon works for you! Fuckin' amazing!" Millie exclaimed.

"Why, thank you, my darling!" Alastor creepily grinned. "I'm glad my reputation is still fascinating to many."

"Is he trying to be fucking condescending?" Loona asked Charlie.

"Alastor can be... a lot, but we have him under control." assured Charlie. "He's our host."

"Always a pleasure. Enjoy what the new and improved Hazbin Hotel has to offer." Alastor said, twirling his cane as he walked away.

"You get used to him... eventually" said Husk.

"Husk's our bartender." Charlie said.

"Sweet! I need a motherfucking drink after today!" Blitzø said, walking over.

"None for me thanks, I wish to cut down." Stolas said.

"No problem. We serve water and soft drinks too." Husk said, pouring a glass of water after handing Blitzø a glass of Harder Daddy.

Niffty then came by with the vacuum. "Hello! Ooh, some bad boys!" she creepily grinned.

"Taken." Blitzø, Moxxie, and Stolas said in unison.

"Aw, nuts!" Niffty pouted. "Oh well! There's always next time!"

"Niffty, mind start prepping lunch?" Lucifer asked.

"Sure thing, Ultimate Bad Boy!" Niffty eagerly nodded as she scampered off.

"That's our maid and cook, Niffty." said Husk.

"She seems... nice." Stolas managed to say.

"You get used to her too." Angel said from the couch. "Heya, strangers!"

"What up, hoes!?" Cherri greeted.

"And those are some of our patrons, Angel Dust and Cherri Bomb!" said Charlie.

"Hey, I've seen you guys tearin' up the fuckin' town!" Millie grinned. "You're awesome!"

"Thanks, bitch! We like puttin' cunts in their places all the damn time!" Cherri laughed.

"Saw on the news that you were almost beheaded by Satan." said Angel.

"Yeah, that was not fuckin' fun." shivered Blitzø.

"We can thank Stolas and the Morningstars for clearing that up." said Moxxie.

"Well Charlie is trying to do good for her people."

Everyone looked up to see Vaggie fly down from the second floor.

"Fuck me, she is an angel!" Blitzø gasped. "Thought you were joking!"

"Never said I was." Lucifer chuckled.

"It's okay, I'm not here to smite or slay anyone." Vaggie said as she landed. "Just here to help make Charlie's dreams come true."

"Aww, Vaggie!" Charlie gushed as the two shared a kiss.

"Aw, they're so fuckin' cute!" Millie cooed.

"So you six are sticking around for lunch?" Vaggie asked.

"Yep! We ain't fuckin' passing up an opportunity to dine with the good royalty!" said Blitzø. He saw Stolas and Octavia eye him. He quickly cleared his throat. "Present company acknowledged." he said.

"Much better." Octavia snorted.

Alastor appeared from the hallway. "Niffty says lunch will be ready in a few moments." he said. "I advise we get to the dining room for a wonderful feast made by her."

"That was fast." Moxxie commented.

"Niffty's a wizz in the kitchen." Charlie said as Angel, Cherri, and Husk got off the couch and headed down the hall, followed by Baxter who emerged from his lab."

"Shall we?" Lucifer offered.
