Chapter 19: Overlord Interrogation

It was another.....wonderful day in Hell, said no one ever.

Demons were killing each other, doing crack, sacrificing each other to the Book God. It was overall, a normal day in Hell.

The Exterminators haven't shown their faces in the realm for some time now, and that's thanks to the Princess of Hell herself. Of course, she couldn't do it alone, she had help from her friends and family.

But today, the focus wasn't on them this time....for now at least. The focus shifts to Pentagram City, where a looming tower of many levels stood.

This belonged to the Vs, four overlords of influence within the ring. Right now, they were having another one of their meetings, where they talk about the recent events going on, and what was in store for them in the future.

Vox: You all know why you are here, Hell is shaken. Heaven is shaken. We are all fucking shaken! It's freezing cold! And not in the way you think!

Valentino: Luckily I have my fur coat on at all times

Vox: What the fuck did I just say?

Valerie: Just get on with it, I have better things to do

Vox: Yes, I know. But we can't deny it, the Princess herself did.....a job defending herself against Exorcists.

Velvet: You're just going to say "A Job?"

Valentino: Oh don't mind him, he is still pissed about Alastor

Vox: [Crushes Remote] No I'm fucking not!

Valentino: See?

Vox: Alright, listen....we all saw it. Adam was killed by a kid, a literal kid with a sword and more Secrets than Epstein himself

Velvet: He really is surprising! I can't wait to see him again!

Vox: Wait, what-?

Valerie: You haven't even called him here since you got his number

Velvet: There is a time and place for that. And I imagine it's soon~

Valerie: [Sighs] Oh great

Valentino: Hey! Butt out of his personal space! That's reserved for me!

Vox: What the hell are your plans for him?

Valentino: Hehe, wouldn't you like to know?~

Velvet: Hey! He's mine!

Valerie: Oh god, all of you stop obsessing over him!

Velvet: Awww, but Sis! He is cute! And the perfect test subject for both clothes and my Potions!

Valerie: I'll give you a pass, and Vox's motive I can understand. But what about you, Val?

Valentino: Isn't it obvious? That brat tried humiliating me with his words, threatening to hurt me. Oh I can't wait to grab him and force him on a leash as he serves under me.....I'll show him true fear when he becomes my newest worker.....

Vox:.....Now that makes sense-

Valentino: Plus he is a cutie!

Valerie: Of fucking course -_-

Back at the Hotel, Charlie Morningstar could be seen managing some things in her room. She gets what she needs in forms of paper, and brings it down to the lobby area where the others are.

Angel Dust and Cherri Bomb were making bets on who Blue would piss off in the coming weeks. Husk was drinking again and Niffty was killing bugs.

Blue was spacing out while Alastor stood close to him, doing the same. But they were doing it for different reasons.

Alastor: First, it was Adam. Next, I'll unleash my Right Hand on my good friend, Vox. Oh how delightfully amusing it will be! Maybe I can target that Gabriel fellow? He seems to be asking for pain.....

Blue: I wonder if I can create my own Ice Cream Flavour? What would I call the flavour?.......Yes......

Vaggie shows up from one of the other rooms, and helps Charlie with the many stacks of papers in her arms.

Vaggie: Since Husk's turn is over and done with, do you want to move onto someone else today? Or do you have a new idea so that we can spread out the different activities

Angel Dust: Oh! Can we do....physical activities?

Husk: If it involves your cock, stay the fuck away from me

Angel Dust: I wasn't talking about that, you sly dog~

Husk: [Sighs] Thank Lucifer-

Angel Dust: I was talking about yours!

Husk: I'm going to fuck-! No wait-!

Angel Dust: Oh please do!

Cherri: Haha! You fell for it!

Niffty: Can this new activity involve the genocide of bugs?

Charlie and Vaggie didn't know what to say, but Blue gave Niffty a thumbs up that made her smile. Alastor stops thinking about his devious acts, and looks at the time to see that the Overlord Meeting was happening soon.

He looks at Charlie, who caught his gaze and understood that he had to go. She nods her head, understanding that it was going to be important for him due to his status as an Overlord.

Alastor: Let's go to the meeting, my Right Hand

Vaggie: What? No! We need him for our activities!

Blue: Wait, you actually want me to go with you?

Alastor: Of course I do, I need my right hand man with me in a meeting that might be about him

Vaggie: What?

Charlie: The meeting is about him?

Husk: Shit, I should've known that the other Overlords will want to know the details.

Charlie: Alastor, please protect Blue there

Alastor: Why would I? The boy can take care of himself

Blue: I am ready for zee brawls

Vaggie: Yeah not against Overlords, Blue

Angel Dust: It wasn't you who killed Adam, well not directly at least. What about your own power?

Cherri: Well he is definitely stronger than most in hell. I reckon he is probably the strongest besides the Overlords, Sins and those other fancy Demons.

Angel Dust: Whaaaat? Stronger than even Vaggie?

Blue and Alastor had left already at that point, walking down the streets of Pentagram City. But the focus was still in the Hotel, as the group talk about where Blue was ranked in strength.

Niffty: Charlie is the strongest in this Hotel! But Vaggie and Blue are the clear second and third!

Vaggie: Guys, look...I know where my limits are. I know what I am capable of, being a Fallen Angel.....but at this point in time, Blue......is stronger than me

Husk: I'm not surprised, there is something special about the way the kid fights.

Angel Dust: I mean, he is still new to Hell. Has he really surpasses Vags in terms of strength?

Vaggie: Don't...call me that. But yes, even in that short period of time, I can safely admit that Blue would beat me.

Angel Dust: Damn...Blue really is that guy

Cherri: When do you think he will enter the power of Overlords?

Husk: When he changes? And even then, that power takes him right to the top. I don't know how deadly he is compared to Lucifer or the Sins...but it feels close.

Charlie: I believe Blue will become very strong without that thing inside of him

Vaggie: I hope he does, I don't like this double edged sword thing he has going on.

Back with Blue and Alastor, they were at the building where the Overlords have their meetings. Alastor leads his Right Hand Man inside and to the elevator.

While they wait during the ride, the focus shifts to the meeting room, where all of the Overlords were. The main ones there were Carmilla Carmine, who was accompanied by her Daughters.

She held the meeting as always, and in attendance was the mysterious as always Zestial, the kind and jolly Rosie, and surprisingly all of the Vs.

There were others like Miss Zilla as well, but uhh...she isn't really a relevant character.

Carmilla: My fellow Overlords, it is good to see you all again. I'm sure you are all doing okay since our last meeting?

Rosie: You know me, Carmilla. Things are always the same

Zestial: Yes. But Ic believe that we must converse about the events that have transpired in ure domains

Carmilla: Indeed.....Valerie

Valerie: Carmine....

Carmilla: It's surprising that you and your Sister are here. But it is a shock that you managed to get the other two out of the tower for this

Velvet: Thank you! Thank you! I am known for great achievements!

Vox: I'm here because it's clear that we need to talk about what the fuck happened the other day.

Valentino: Hah, we might stay here for a while. But yeah, let's talk business, Carmilla. I think you would look great-!

Carmilla: [Glares] No

Valentino: Ah shit, it was worth a try

Carmilla: Hmm....Alastor isn't here. I asked him to come with the boy.

Zestial: Chance we can...talke about the boy now?

Carmilla: Yes we can-

The door to the meeting room opens up, and in steps Alastor. He looks around at the faces of his fellow Overlords, the room was quiet, even if himself and Vox are within a close radius.

Everyone could feel the murderous intent from them, especially from Vox. No one said a word but the Demon behind Alastor broke the silence with an amusing comment.

Blue: Man, that elevator took forever! I felt like I could've completed Sonic Adventure 2 by the time we reached the top!

Velvet: So Cute!

Valerie: Idiot -_-

Despite that comment, the tension felt as if it grew even more now that Blue was here. No one spoke as Alastor sits down close to Rosie, with Blue taking the seat in between them.

Blue: Wait...Miss Rosie?

Rosie: Oh Blue, I've missed you! How are you? How was it fighting those angels?

Blue: As you can see, I am alive. And it was surprisingly fun!

Vox: Fun? Fun?!

Valerie: He really found that experience, fun?

Rosie: Yes, I imagine you love to throw down. But please stop getting hurt!

Blue: I'll try, but Adam did kill my friend. So I had to get it back in blood....e-even if I didn't kill him directly

Carmilla: You didn't do it yourself?

Blue: Nope! Something is wrong with me, but I have no idea what! Also, it's nice to see you again, Miss Carmine!

Clara: He's already met Mom?

Odette: It must've been that day I heard Mother fight and sing in the front room of our home.

Carmilla: It's good to see you too. Now, this meeting is about the events that took place the day Adam and the Exorcists attacked the hotel owned by Princess Charlotte.

Alastor: Ah yes, a grand day for Hell!

Vox: Yeah, it was grand to see you get your shit smacked! How was it, Alastor?! Adam kicked your ass!

Alastor: Yes, a shame that I couldn't overcome Adam. A man who would've snuffed your soul in seconds. But alas, it didn't matter, because my Right Hand Man did what he had to do to secure the victory

Valerie: Yeah, and you're going to have to explain everything!

Alastor:....I will do my best

Velvet: Boooo! Unacceptable!

Carmilla: You're willing to go through some of our questions, Alastor?

Alastor: Of course! But not everything!

Carmilla: Then what is wrong with your Right Hand Man?

Alastor: I don't know!

Carmilla:.....You don't know? He clearly does, but I wished he would've gone through more details.

Alastor: Nope!

Valerie: Oh God, we are getting nowhere with this. You were aware of this power inside of him, right?

Alastor: Perhaps, but that doesn't matter because the story behind it is still unknown to me.

Rosie: Al, you need to tell us some things about Blue. This is concerning now.

Alastor: What is there to say? He is loyal, innocent, strong and humorous. I only saved him from a terrible fate at the hands of the late Guzzler.

Valerie: Wait, you said that he killed Guzzler!

Blue: Wha? How can I kill him?

Alastor: Yes, how can my Right Hand kill an Overlord by himself with his own power?

Valerie: Listen idiot, he is lying to you!

Blue: Press X To Doubt

Valerie: W-What?

Clara&Velvet: He got her there

Odette: What is even happening anymore?

Carmilla: Alastor, one day the truth will be out. Whether you like it or not

Alastor: Yes yes, what a wonderful meeting this has been

Zestial: It certainly has

Vox: We aren't done yet.....

Alastor: What was that? Flat screen?

Vox: I said we aren't done yet!

Vox exploded in an outburst, and electricity channelled around his entire body. Everyone was silent and turned towards him, waiting for what he has to say.

Vox: I have....important information about this brat, that no one but himself knows

Blue: Oh no! He saw my war crimes in Albania!

Carmilla: W-What?

Odette: I believe this is just a joke, Mother

Carmilla: Oh...

Alastor: And what exactly are you trying to say about my Right Hand...Vox?

Vox: [Turns To Blue] My cameras showed you...fighting an Angel! And this was no ordinary one, he looked completely different to the ones we know. So spill it, boy!

Valentino: Are you high or something?

Carmilla: Vox, are you sure that you saw what you say was on the cameras-?

Blue: Oh yeah! That was Gabriel!

All: WHAT?!

Alastor: Ah yes, it slipped my mind that Blue here, was taken to Heaven for a trial

Carmilla: A trial in Heaven?

Valerie: For what?

Vox: For killing Adam....

Valentino: That's kind of to be expected actually, surprised you aren't dead right now, kid

Blue: He....kind of wants me dead ^_^

Rosie: What? He...wants you dead?

Blue: Unfortunately

Velvet: Oh no! My future test subject!

Blue: Wha-?

Valerie: Ignore her, why aren't you dead?

Blue: Well, from what I remember....Gabriel was going to kill me. But then, he was convinced from my side to not do it, because I didn't kill Adam. He started to fight me, as you saw, man literally knocked me to Hell from Heaven!

Valentino: That is raw as hell!

Blue: I know right? He was testing to see if I really was strong enough to kill Adam, which I wasn't. Then he stops and tells me that I need to discover what is up with me, when I don't even know my past like that. So should be light work!

Zestial: Most troublesome, the Archangel can be.

Carmilla: Well then, I believe the meeting is over now.

Valentino: Finally! I don't want to be here!

Valerie: You're the idiot that chose to come -_-

And so, the Overlords disperse from the meeting room so that they can return to their daily lives. Vox and Alastor exchange dirty looks, with Alastor's one looking more smug than annoyed.

Velvet went to Blue and tells him to come visit so that she can test some clothes on him, something Valerie didn't mind as it might improve business.

Then, Rosie approaches Blue, as he was someone that she wants to protect from the harsh realities of this world.

Rosie: It is good to see you today, Blue.

Blue: I can say the same thing, Miss Rosie. I haven't seen you for a while!

Rosie: Hopefully that can change. But, please watch yourself. I don't want to see my Little Black Hole get hurt

Blue: I won't! I'll win all the time!

Rosie: Yes, but if things get tough, let someone else fight for you. Oh! Would you look at the time, I'm late for my duties. Well Blue, have a lovely rest of the day!

Blue: You too, Miss Rosie!

Rosie pats Blue on the head before leaving, Blue was ready to follow Alastor outside, when he is stopped by the two Daughters of Carmilla Carmine.

Odette: Blue, correct?

Blue: Umm, yes?

Clara: Hi! My name is Clara, and this is Odette! You may know our Mother as Carmilla Carmine!

Blue: Yeah, wait....you're her Daughters?!

Odette: Yes we are, I'm sure you can see the similarities

Blue: Actually, now that you mention it, I can see them.

Clara: Yep! So, everyone is talking about you, and I wondered why. But now, I can see why. I mean, you killed Adam and now you're a target of Heaven! Plus you're cute!

Blue: Oh, thank you ^__^

Odette: How are you doing this? You're not even an Overlord

Blue: W-Well, I still have no idea. I don't know how I was able to gain all of that power.

Odette: It certainly is interesting, that a normal demon is able to have access to that much power. But I also have to ask, can you do what this...other version of you displaced in the end of that war?

Blue: I don't think so, I can barely remember what I even did. After Lucifer showed up, I talked to Alastor...and then I blacked out

Clara: You did? When did you wake up?

Blue: Well, I was partially awake when Adam started to crash out. But I wasn't able to control myself until he was dead

Clara: That's interesting!

Carmilla: Very interesting, indeed

Carmilla had walked over to the three once she saw that her own Daughters decided to converse with Blue. She is surprised that that they would talk to him, but she didn't mind it as now she knows that Blue is a kind hearted and friendly boy.

Clara: Oh, Mother.

Carmilla: It's find to talk to Blue, my Dears. I trust him a lot despite the rare interactions we get. And talking about our last interaction, I can see that you were definitely prepared for that battle against the Angels.

Blue: I mean, I felt ready despite being up against Angelic Steel. Then again, you said my katana is made out of it, right?

Odette: What?

Carmilla: Yes, it's true. But I could tell that the material was different than the usual Angelic Steel that the weapons I make and the angels use.

Clara: So is it....

Blue/Clara: Angelic Steel²? Wait, you think so too? Neat!

Odette: Umm

Carmilla: Interesting. Anyways, I don't know what it is, you're going to have to ask Alastor about that. I imagine he is also waiting for you

Blue: Oh noes! U-Umm, I'll see you three later!

Blue quickly hits the dash as the Carmine family watch him go. Clara smiled widely, Carmilla had a neutral face like Odette, but it slowly grew into a soft smile.

Carmilla: That boy radiates too much positive energy for Hell. He really doesn't deserve to be here....so why is he? What is his story?

Carmilla gets ready to leave with her Daughters, and kept wondering about the story of Blue, as it seems even he doesn't know himself. Outside, Blue was walking besides Alastor while keeping an eye out for any danger.

Even though Alastor was much stronger than him, Blue would always still do his job as the Right Hand man of the Radio Demon.

But once they were getting closer to the Hotel, Blue couldn't stop thinking about the conversations in the Overlord Meeting.

Blue: Hey, Alastor?

Alastor: Yes, my right hand?

Blue: Can you....tell me what's happening to me? I know you said to Miss Carmine that you have no idea but....you can tell me if you really know

Alastor:.....Trust me, Blue. If I knew what was going on, I would tell you. But right now, I don't have the answers you are looking for. Here is an idea, go to those that hold a higher rank to me, and ask them whether you get a chance

Blue: Will that really work?

Alastor: Surely Lucifer himself will know, maybe Stolas has an idea. But don't force yourself to see them, do it when it feels natural. This is...after all, a growing experience

Blue: Okay!

And so, Blue and Alastor continue on their walk, where they arrive back at the Hazbin Hotel to continue on their daily lives.
