The Hotel: Dealmaker

The Happy/Hazbin Hotel, Pentagram City
November 4th, 20XX
12:40 PM

Y/n suddenly found themself back in their room at the Happy Hotel. They looked around, confused, wondering how they got back so quickly. Weren't they just playing "strip poker" Dia, Summer, and two others? They immediately became on guard as their spines rose up in caution.

???: "Oh, calm down now, chap. I only called you here to speak."

Y/n spun around to see Alastor sitting on their bed, his hands folded with a different smile on his face. It was almost as if he wanted something from the amalgamated demon.

Y/n: "Alastah?"

Alastor: "Good afternoon, my uneducated fellow."

Y/n squinted their eyes at Alastor, feeling a bit insulted as the Radio Demon stood up from the bed.

Alastor: "You're probably wondering why I called you here out of nowhere."

Y/n: "Ovorlard."

Alastor: "Hm? Oh, so you do know who I am!"

Y/n shrugged, saying that they didn't really know who Alastor was. They only know that he was an Overlord called the Radio Demon. Nothing much else.

Alastor: "Well, if that's the case, let me properly introduce myself. I am Alastor, but the majority of Pride know me as the Radio Demon."

Alastor grinned as his eyes momentarily become radio dials before returning to normal.

Alastor: "And I have a proposal for you, my amalgamated friend."

Y/n looked at Alastor in confusion. Proposal? What did that mean?

Alastor: "From the look on your face, I can see that you don't know what I mean. Well, I do know that you're new here, so I suppose I can give you some insight, hm?"

Alastor told Y/n with his smile ever present. Y/n immediately felt unsure for some reason. They've never felt this way before, but it wasn't like they were just gonna ignore the Radio Demon. So he just nodded, making Alastor's smile grow a little wider.

Alastor: "This new world you find yourself in... you can't find your way through it by what you know, but who you know. I can see very clearly that you don't seem to be... satisfied with what you have at the moment."

Y/n looked at Alastor in surprise. How could he tell that by just looking at them? Not even Y/n knew if he was satisfied or not.

...

Were they?

Alastor: "I can tell you secretly long for something more. So just imagine what a man like me can do for someone like you."

Y/n thought about this for a moment. They weren't sure what Alastor was getting at, but they were starting to realize something. And then an image of Octavia came to Y/n's mind, and their eyes darted to the ground before looking back at Alastor.

Y/n: "Y/n... listen."

Alastor: "Splendid! Ah-hahaho!"

Alastor laughed as he appeared next to Y/n, throwing his arm around their neck as he pulls them close and invading their personal space. Again.

Alastor: "I see big things coming your way, yes indeedy! Now, onto business. Everything's better with a song, don't you agree?"

Alastor asked Y/n as he pulled him forward. Y/n was about to say something, only to stop when they realize that Alastor had teleported them out of the hotel with Husk suddenly with them. And then the Radio Demon started singing.

(Start at 1:40. Or don't and listen to the whole thing. It's really good)

Alastor: "🎶This way, good pal🎶
🎶We've a deal to make!🎶
🎶I assure this is a good thing for both our sakes🎶
🎶I'm happy to provide, but remember your side🎶
🎶Of a bargain I know you can't refuse to take🎶"

Alastor sung as he led Y/n down the sidewalk with Husk right behind them.

Alastor: "🎶All I ask is when I boost your station🎶
🎶Remember who gave you this grand ovation!🎶"

The sounds of an audience applauding suddenly rings in Y/n's ears, but they didn't see anyone clapping. Was Alastor making that sound?

Alastor: "🎶If I call you for a favor or two🎶
🎶Don't forget it's now your obligation!🎶"

Alastor sang as he nudged Y/n with his mic staff twice before jumping in front of them to continue singing as he pulls at his smile, making it widen unnaturally.

Alastor: "🎶Smile like you mean it!🎶
🎶Take a chance and you could seize it!🎶
🎶I'm sure you'll do just swell!🎶
🎶You're only down in Hell!🎶
🎶So come along with me and guarantee it!🎶"

Alastor reached over to Y/n and pulled them along with him as he continues. He moves them around, almost as if the two were dancing together.

Alastor: "🎶Smile your way through it!🎶
🎶Grit your teeth and get right to it!🎶
🎶Forget the rigmatole🎶
🎶And you can have it all!🎶
🎶And make it that much better when I see you fall...🎶"

Y/n pulled away from Alastor, growling at him. However, the Overlord couldn't help but chuckle.

Alastor: "Still unconvinced? Well, why not take the word of another? Husker?"

Husk, from behind Alastor, groaned as he realized he had to sing now. However, he sucked it up as he took a swig of his beer and did as told.

Husk: "🎶They say you reap what you sow🎶
🎶And in this town, you should damn well know🎶
🎶That what the Radio Demon wants, he's gonna take🎶"

An evil whisper went through the air, repeated the last line Husk sang.

Husk: "🎶I've seen him kill Hell's greatest evils🎶
🎶Shake the status quo in upheaval🎶
🎶So you think your getting out of this?🎶
🎶Big mistake...🎶"

Alastor: "Now, now, sourpuss."

Husk only growled as he turned to Alastor.

Husk: "🎶Stop fuckin' around!🎶
🎶This is taking forever🎶
🎶You always think you're real slick and clever🎶"

Alastor: "🎶Yet I know what you like🎶
🎶And what makes you tick🎶
🎶Tick🎶
🎶Tick🎶
🎶Tick🎶
🎶Tick🎶
🎶Tick tock~🎶"

Husk: "🎶Doin' what you want's just the cost I pay🎶
🎶Enough o' this shit🎶
🎶We ain't got al day!🎶
🎶Just sign the thing so I can get another fuckin' drink🎶"

Husk said, saying the last bit to Y/n in annoyance and impatience as he tosses aside his now empty bottle of beer. However, Alastor only grinned and chuckled again.

Alastor: "In other words..."

He began singing again, but this time he grabbed at Y/n's cheeks and pulled at them to make it look like they were smiling.

Alastor: "🎶Smile like you mean it!🎶
🎶Risk it all and we can seize it!🎶
🎶Until we hear that bell, we're both stuck in Hell!🎶
🎶So roll the dice and see if you could be it!🎶"

Alastor sang as he spun Y/n around before letting them go, letting them stumble backwards as he continues his song.

Alastor: "🎶Smile your way through it!🎶
🎶Embrace the dark as though you knew it🎶
🎶You can stand up tall
🎶And act within my thrall🎶
🎶And I'll be there to watch you as you take the fall...🎶"

Y/n falls onto his butt with a grunt. They growl in annoyance, only to feel something under one of their hands. They grab it and bring it up to their face to examine it, finding that it was a missing person's flyer. But it was just any flyer. It was one for them, saying that there was a reward for $100,000 for finding and returning Y/n back to the Goetia Manor. Y/n looked at it as their eyes become somber, and they felt as if tears would suddenly start appearing. But none came. However, the shadow of Alastor comes over them and the Amalgam stares up to look at him.

Alastor: "🎶So what, my friend, whatever will it be?🎶
🎶I can give you what you crave, just not for free🎶
🎶You know what's on the line🎶
🎶And this whole thing's on borrowed time🎶
🎶But you can trust the man who's wearing his one guarantee...!🎶"

Alastor sung softly as he lifted Y/n back onto their feet, only to continue with his more enthusiastic and intense singing.

Alastor: "🎶Smile like you mean it!🎶
🎶Take a chance and you could seize it!🎶
🎶I'm sure you'll do just swell🎶
🎶You're only down in Hell!🎶
🎶So come along with me and guarantee it!🎶"

As Alastor sang, Y/n looked back down at their missing person's flyer. They slowly began to realize what they wanted.

Alastor: "🎶Smile your way through it!🎶
🎶Grit your teeth and get right to it!🎶
🎶Forget the rigmarole🎶
🎶And you can have it all!🎶
🎶And it'll be that much better when I see you🎶

🎶Smile like you mean it!🎶
🎶Risk it all and we can seize it!🎶
🎶Until we hear that bell, we're both stuck in Hell🎶
🎶So roll the dice and see if you could be it!🎶"

Y/n knew what they wanted. More than anything. They just wanted to be with Octavia again without the chance to harm her. But how? They were a killer. How could she be safe with them by her side?

Alastor: "🎶Smile your way through it!🎶
🎶Embrace the dark as though you knew it🎶
🎶You can stand up tall🎶
🎶And act within my thrall🎶
🎶And I'll be there to watch you
🎶Yes, I'll watch you🎶
🎶I will make you, break you, as you fall...🎶"

Alastor finally finished his song with a dark chuckle. Once he finished, he looked over at Y/n who was still looking at the flyer. He slowly approached them with a smile on his face.

Alastor: "So, Y/n... what is it you really want?"

Y/n wanted to be with Octavia again more than anything. But how? They weren't normal, like her. How could they ever--

Y/n's eyes widened when he realized something. He turned to Alastor with what they wanted.

Y/n: "Normal. Want normal."

Alastor: "You want to be normal? Now that is quite the request, my good fellow. Why did you choose that of all things?"

Y/n: "For Via."

Alastor: "Via? Ah, so it's for a girl then! Is this love that I'm seeing, Y/n?"

Y/n looked at Alastor in confusion.

Y/n: "Love?"

Now it was Alastor's turn to look confused. How did this demon not know what love was? Even he knew what it was, and he didn't bother with it.

Alastor: "Love. It's a... well, it's a very different kind of feeling. It can bring the greatest joy you've ever felt, but also the most rage you've ever had. When you love someone, you want to be with them no matter what. You want to make sure that they are happy and safe, and you would do whatever it takes to protect them. You would, of course, argue and fight, but you'd also always forgive each other."

Y/n thought this information over. The more they thought about it, the more they realized that what Alastor said was true. They loved Octavia.

Y/n: "Yes. Love Via. But Via... normal. Y/n not."

Alastor: "Then you would do well to take my deal."

Y/n: "Deal?"

Alastor: "It's quite simple. I need you to do something for me, and when you do it I will gladly make you normal."

Y/n: "What need?"

Y/n asked, completely ready to do what was needed. Alastor just smiled at the Amalgam's eagerness.

Alastor: "You see, I'm an Overlord who needs to keep his reputation up and my territory mine. However, there is this one, or three to be more precise, that make my job a lot harder than it should. They are called the Three Vs, or the VVVs. One of them, the one I absolutely fucking despise the most, is named Vox."

Y/n: "Vox?"

Alastor: "Yes. Vox, the TV Demon. He is an Overlord, like me. If my information is correct, he is bringing a delivery to his partner, Valentino, as we speak, who runs The Porn Studios. Blegh! Such a distasteful occupation."

Alastor shakes his head in disgust as he turns around while Y/n looks in the direction they know The Porn Studios to be. They sniff the air before growling.

Alastor: "I need you to stop them and kill them. It'll definitely put quite the blow on the VVVs and their influence, being taken down by someone the likes of you. When you're done, come to the hotel where I'll be--"

Alastor turns around to face Y/n again, only to stop himself when he sees that they were gone. He looks around before spotting a figure clambering up a building before getting onto the rooftop and taking off. The Radio Demon sighs as he shakes his head.

Alastor: ".... waiting. Nevermind."

Alastor shook his head as he turned to walk around with Husk next to him.

Husk: "So you're just gonna let them leave without, like, a handshake or a contract signing?"

Alastor: "It matters not, dear Husker. When I see them again, I will secure the deal. By then, they would have done their end of the deal and I will do my side."

Husk: "Whatever. It's your bullshit. None of my fuckin' business."

Husk said as he pulled a bottle of beer from nowhere and began drinking it. Alastor rolled his eyes at this, but couldn't help but laugh to himself. Y/n eagerness was... amusing, but also very useful.

Pentagram City
November 4th, 20XX
1:27 PM

On the road were three large moving trucks, all moving in a straight line down the road. In the middle truck was a very tall demon with a flatscreen TV for a head sitting bored in the passenger seat. This was Vox, one of the VVVs.

(Art by NotHimSir on DeviantArt. Credit to them)

Vox impatiently tapped his fingers on the dashboard as he held his "chin" in his hand, leaning against the door. He had no idea why he was made to go with the shipment from his business to Valentino's. He was both bored and pissed. Ever since Velvet partnered with him and Valentino, Vox was left doing dumb tasks like this that didn't need him. However, Valentino did reward him for doing such mundane tasks.

Vox: "I better get a good night tonight, Val..."

Vox grumbled under his breath in annoyance. However, the radio on the dashboard crackled to life as a voice came through it.

Truck Driver #1(Over Radio): "Uh, boss? Mr. Vox, sir?"

Vox groaned in annoyance but reached for the radio and answered it anyway.

Vox: "What is it?"

Truck Driver #1(Over Radio): "There's a, uh, there's someone in the middle of the road. In front of us."

Vox: "So fucking what? Run 'im over! We're almost at the studio anyway."

Truck Driver #1(Over Radio): "Y-yes, sir."

With that, the demon in the front truck got off the radio and Vox tossed the one he had onto the middle console. He grunts in annoyance before his eyes flick over to the truck in the front, wondering if the person in the road had either ran off to avoid getting run over or already had been ran over. Vox hoped for the latter, since he wasn't in a very pleasant mood at the moment.

And then it happened.

The truck in the lead suddenly crashed into something, but instead of stopping dead in its tracks it starts lifting off the ground. Vox and the driver's eyes widened in surprise as the cause of the crash reveals themself as they lift the leading truck over their head, but they weren't looking at it. Instead, they were looking at the truck in front of them with three narrowed glowing eyes. The same truck Vox was in.

Truck Driver #2: "HOLY SHIT!"

Vox: "FUCKING MOVE!"

Vox yelled as he lunged for the steering wheel and pulled it to the right hard. However, the turn was too sudden and fast for the truck, making it turn before it tipped over and fell, sliding across the road which ends up hitting the figure holding up the first truck. This sent it crashing down on the last truck, causing a massive crash as all three trucks break down there as they all stop in their tracks finally. A small explosion from the first and last truck occurred, making the ground shake from the force.

When Vox came to his senses, he shook his head and looked in the cracked rearview mirror to see that his own screen was cracked. He grunted in pain before turning to the driver of the truck he was in, only to see that he was dead.

Vox: "Goddammit...!"

Vox growled as he turned and positioned himself to where he could see the passenger door. He then aimed his hand at it and, after a few sparks, blasted a beam of electrical energy which destroys the door. Vox then pulls himself out from the truck before falling onto the road on his back with a grunt. When he was able to push himself up onto his feet, the Overlord looked around at the scene. Two of the trucks were destroyed and on fire while only the truck he was in was just wrecked from the crash. He also noticed that no one was around, meaning that everyone that was previously there probably ran when they saw the crash and explosion.

Vox: "Dammit... How is Val gonna take this one?"

Vox shook his head and held it in pain as he tried to figure out what to do. However, as he does, he doesn't notice something moving from underneath the truck he just crawled out of. However, the heaving and creaking of heavy metal catches his attention as he turns to the truck, his eyes shaking from what he was seeing. The truck was lifted upwards at an angle for a moment before falling back down, and the sound of footsteps follow. Vox instinctively activated his powers as electrical sparks dance around his forearms as he readied himself to attack whatever came around the truck.

However, he wasn't ready for what he saw.

What came around the truck to face Vox wasn't normal, even for Hell. The body was contorted and broken, with skin missing to reveal the muscle and bone beneath it. Road burns were noticeable on them with their body heavily bleeding, and their jaw was hanging looser than it should've. Two of their horns were broken off along with their tail torn in half and most of their spines on their back missing or broken. Their clothes were also tattered and torn, mainly their pants and jacket while their shirt seemed relatively okay even if it was still tattered. However, it wasn't their injuries that scared Vox. It was how they were alive even with the injuries they had, even after being crushed by a massive moving truck.

Vox: "Wh-what the fuck...?"

The gravely injured demon grunted and craned their head to the side as their wounds began healing. The bleeding stops as their tail, spines, and horns grow back. Their broken bones right themselves and get fixed immediately, and their skin began regrowing, along with their jaw reattaching to the rest of their skull. When they were done, they looked as if they never had received the previous injuries, even with all the blood covering them. It was also revealed that the demon was none other than Y/n themself, with their pupils round and normal.

Vox: "What the fuck are you?"

Y/n didn't respond. They only leapt forward at Vox with narrowed pupils, as the Overlord fires a blast of electricity at the Amalgam. A scream echoed out through the air.

The Happy/Hazbin Hotel, Pentagram City
November 4th, 20XX
2:01 PM

Alastor awaited in the hotel lobby for Y/n to return. As he waited, he had his mic staff out playing music from when he was alive. However, his unusually jollier attitude left Vaggie on edge. She didn't like it all.

Vaggie: "Charlie, don't you just think it's weird?"

Charlie: "What's weird?"

Vaggie: "Al! He's just standing there! Doing nothing! And isn't it suspicious that Y/n and Angel aren't here?"

Charlie: "Well... I guess it is weird. Maybe we should ask him about it?"

Vaggie: "I don't know! It's just freaking me out! What if he did something to--"

The doors to the hotel were threw open, cutting Vaggie off as everyone turns to see Angel Dust running into the hotel. His face was full of panic and fear as he rushed forward.

Angel Dust: "Y/n...! Strip poker...! Valentino...! Gone...!"

Angel Dust said in a panicked state, unable to finish anything since he was out of breath. He stopped running and bent down to hold his knees to catch his breath as Vaggie and Charlie ran up to him.

Charlie: "Angel, are you okay?!"

Vaggie: "What the fuck are you spewing?!"

Angel held a hand up to tell the two to wait as he caught his breath. As they did, Niffty sped over to them in curiosity.

Niffty: "What's going on here?"

Charlie: "Angel just ran in like he was on fire." *to Angel* "Angel, what's wrong?"

Vaggie: "Where's Y/n?"

Angel, finally catching his breath, stands up and answers.

Angel Dust: "I-I was giving them the tour like I said I would, right? And my boss gave me a call and said he needed me at the studio for something."

Vaggie: "You brought Y/n to Valentino?!"

Angel Dust: "No, I would never do that! I just brought them to the studio and had them wait on the bottom floor as I went to see what my boss wanted. When I came back, Y/n was playing strip poker, don't ask me how, and when I turned away and then looked back they were gone!"

Charlie: "What?!"

Angel Dust: "They just fuckin' vanished! I don't know how! They're just gone!"

Vaggie: "How could they have just disappeared? Did they look like they could teleport?"

Angel Dust: "No. Fuck, please don't take my head!"

Angel asked in fear as he pulled at his hair while Niffty just watched. Husk, from the counter, rolled his eyes and took a sip from his beer. Alastor, however, just grinned as he stood to the side, still listening to his music.

Charlie: "Where could they have gone?"

Angel Dust: "I don't know!"

Vaggie: "Do you think someone took them?"

Angel Dust: "I don't know!"

Vaggie: "Angel, I swear to God, if something happened to them on your watch, then I swear I'll--!"

The doors were thrown open again and something is thrown to the floor, sliding across it. Everyone looks to see that it was some kind of flatscreen TV with cracks on its screen that flickers a bit before shutting off, a hat landing next to it. Then everyone turns to see Y/n standing in the doorway, with their clothes tattered and covered in blood but without any injuries to themself.

Angel Dust: "Y/n...?"

Charlie: "Y/n, is that--?"

Y/n: "Vox head. Vox dead."

Vaggie: "Wh-what?"

Both Niffty and Husk were silent at the head of the TV Demon, not expecting to see it. Alastor, however, seemed to grin much wider at the sigh. So wide, in fact, that it looked like his smile would split his face in half. Y/n began walking forward, not caring that the others were staring at them. They just walked up to Alastor.

Vaggie: "Y/n... how did you--?"

Charlie: "Did you do this?"

Y/n: "Yes."

Y/n said as he stopped and turned to Charlie, who looked at them in shock.

Alastor: "And you did a splendid job, my good fellow! My, my, I didn't expect you to pull it off!"

Alastor said as he walked up next to Y/n and threw his arm around their shoulders. They growled and moved away as Charlie, Vaggie, and Angel looked at them and Alastor in surprise.

Y/n: "Done deal. Want normal."

Vaggie: "What? Y/n, did you make a deal with him?!"

Alastor and Y/n ignored Vaggie as the former chuckled.

Alastor: "Of course. However, our deal was never confirmed since you didn't shake my hand. Now I'm a man of my word, so I'll gladly still help you. All you have to do... is take my hand."

Alastor said as he held out his hand, a green glow emitting from him that surrounds both him and Y/n.

(Art by Andelynn on Twitter. Credit to them)

Wind blew from an invisible force, making the closest people to Y/n and Alastor cover their faces to shield them from the wind as their hair blows in the wind. Y/n looked at the Radio Demon's hand, one of their eyes twitching from the wind blowing in their face.

Charlie: "Y/n, wait!"

Vaggie: "Don't you take that fucking hand!"

Angel Dust: "This is a real bad idea, kid!"

Y/n ignored them. He just stared at Alastor's hand and then back up at his face to see his malicious grin. Then an image of Octavia came back to their mind, and their resolve was solidified.

Y/n: 'For Via...'

They pushed their hand forward and grabbed Alastor's, gripping it tightly. The glow became more intense along with the wind, making Alastor's grin become even wider. The wind became so strong that it began pushing everyone around Y/n and Alastor back before a massive invisible erupted that blasted everyone away, including Y/n and Alastor.

When Y/n opened their eyes again, they shook their head and held it in one of their hands. However, they went to look at their hand... only to see that nothing has changed. They stood up onto their feet to examine themselves more and felt around their body, but nothing had changed and they didn't feel any different. What was happening? Did something go wrong? Why wasn't Y/n normal?

Alastor: "Oh, dear... That was quite odd. That's never happened before."

Alastor said as he held his head as well, standing up to shake off what just happened. Y/n looked around to see everyone else getting up, a bit disoriented from the blast of force. Then they turned back to Alastor, and the growled in anger.

Y/n: "Liar..."

Alastor: "I beg your pardon?"

Y/n began marching towards Alastor, snarling at him.

Y/n: "Alastah said make Y/n normal, but not normal! Still same!"

Alastor: "Yes, this is quite the predicament. This has never--HURK!"

Alastor was cutoff when Y/n grabbed him by the neck and lifted him off his feet. He grunted as he looked down at the Amalgam.

Y/n: "Lied!"

Alastor: "You will put me down, unless you want to get hurt."

Charlie: "Y/n, put him down now!"

Y/n ignored Charlie's order as their pupils slowly became slitted one by one. They growled, their anger steadily rising every second Alastor was in their sight. He said he would make them normal, but he lied! Y/n just wanted to be normal for Octavia, but they can't because of this lying Overlord!"

Y/n: "RAAAGGGHH!!"

Y/n yelled as he clenched a fist and struck Alastor in the chest, sending him flying back and crashing through the hotel wall to land outside. Y/n breathed heavily from their anger before running after Alastor, ignoring the calls of the others in the hotel.

Outside, Alastor stood up from the ground and coughed. He then looked back towards the hotel to see Y/n running at him. He clicked his teeth before his grin widened unnaturally and his eyes become red radio dials.

Alastor: "̴̡̝͗̔̈́V̷̢̧̡͔̪͔͈͕̼̳̰͇̠͎̣̐͆̐̅̊̏̉͘͜͠ͅḛ̵̻̙̬̹̼̻̣̗͋̑̽̎̊̽̊̌̿͗̏̒͌̏͐͘͠͝r̴̡̪͕̗̣̮͙̰̘̮̘͔͖̠̮̈́̽̂̑̓̂͑̿̆̐̓́̕̕͜͝͠y̵̞̘̆́ ̷̨̢̹̖̘̟̺͇̞̱̤͉̗̜͍̻̲̙̩̘͒p̵̡̧̧͖̭̺̻̞̹̻̗̹̱̈́̾͂̌̎̕͜ȯ̵̡̪̼̬̹̟̩̥̠̬̞̳̥̀̎̌͗̆͋̿̈́͗̂͑̏̎̅̈͐͋͑̚͝ͅő̸̠̈̈́͗͋̃͐͌̇͝͠r̶͍̠͈̞̣̗̺̪̘͇̾̿͊̈̅̿̍̔̅̊̓̿̌̌̍̍̈́̍͆́͝ ̵̨̫̙͎̲̒͗̔̓ͅd̷̡̧̮̟̗̲͓̫͈̪̲̞̺̦͍̈́̀̓̎́͂̿̋̆̀̈́͜͜͝ͅe̴̢̛̛̗̞̠͚̝̗̳̱̜̍̓̇̀̈́̃̄̌̉̈́̉̀͌̾́͗̕͝͠c̴̡̨̡̳̳̫̫̮̮͕̥͙̭̫͍̀͂̏̋͜͜͜ͅi̷̧̛̯̻̖̭͈̰̜̺̩̬̅͋̔̊̔ͅş̴̛̗̥̣̅̀́̅̊͊̓̈̊̒̽̚͝ḯ̶̙̟̙̀̇͌̌̉̌̎̽̕̚̕͝ŏ̷̼̟̦̤̮͗̋̇̃̎̆ͅn̵̨̧̜̦̝͓͍̠̫̜͖̘̻̬̗̖͓̈́̽̊͛̑̍̚͘͘͜͜.̶̨̬͍͉̥̲̠͑͝͠͝"̷̛͕̦̌̽̊̍̎͗̋̌́̈́̉̎͌̆̔̎͝

Shadowy tentacles come out from Alastor's back and he sends them at Y/n. However, the amalgamated demon avoids them by leaping over and landing behind the Radio Demon. They then quickly spin around with two of their arms, their claws out as they swipe at Alastor. However, the Radio Demon teleports to avoid them and reappears next to Y/n with his mic staff, which was coated in greenish energy. He swings it at Y/n a few times, but misses before Alastor slams it into the ground. This creates a powerful force that sends Y/n flying up into the air, and Alastor grabs their leg with one of his tentacles before swinging them around and throwing them towards the city, crashing into one of the buildings.

Charlie, Vaggie, Angel, Niffty, and Husk all run over to the hole in the wall and looked outside to see Alastor. He turns to them for a moment before he begins moving towards the city with his shadow tentacles, towards Y/n.

In the city, Y/n was covered in some rubble from the building he crashed into. However, they easily stood back up and brushed the rubble off of their body, growling in annoyance. They then looked around to see a demon couple huddled in the corner in fear, and upon further examination Y/n saw that they were in some kind of apartment. However, before they could say or do anything, a black tentacle grabbed them by the neck and pulled them out of the building, sending them crashing back down into the street with a mighty impact. Then they were pulled back up to see Alastor staring at them with a menacing smile.

Y/n growled in an animal-like manner before they raise up their third arm. It bursts into a bunch of fleshy tendrils and they shoot them at Alastor, but "miss" as they hit the street behind them instead. Alastor looked over his shoulder to glance at it before turning back to Y/n.

Alastor: "̶̣̝̥͍̺͖͗Y̸̺̟̅̈̅̀͆̄̒̐̅̓̃́͝͝ō̸̢̡͈̤̖̭̦̦̼͕̪̝̹͐̍̅́͜͜u̴̡͖̬͚̠̲͇̻̜͐̉̏͐̌͋͐̽̒͑̎͛̈́̽͛ ̶̨̹̖͖̼̫̮̲̖̖̭̠͆͛̇̋̇̍́͛̒ͅm̶̡̢̯̟̤̺̫̥͈̜̱̟̝̚i̵̬̣̾̍̇͂s̵̯̩̰͕̥̗̜̙̜̲͚̖͔̊̈́̍̀͜ͅs̸̡͈̘̖̣͈̣̹͉̟͋̂̓͂̈́̀̓͑̈͌̍̓̒̕e̷̙̯̥͙̳͖̥͕̮͈͉̳̝̓̿͋͊͌̒̏́ͅḑ̴̲̱̠̠̙͍̬̬̥̝̯̪̻̂̓̋́͋̅̅̂͝ͅ.̷̭̘̭̝̯͇̬̇͛̎͗̅͗̕"̴͚̺̅̆̽̐̏͂͒͌̕̕

Y/n snarled before pulling at the tendrils, pulling themself towards Alastor whose eyes go wide in shock. His face is immediately met with Y/n's foot, slamming into the ground with a deep grunt of pain. He responds by slamming his tentacles into Y/n and bringing him down onto the street again before dragging him across it and throwing him against a nearby building. The Radio Demon then stood up and coughed into his hand, and brought it down to see blood on it, making him growl in annoyance. No one other than Vox has made him bleed in a very long time.

A roar made Alastor turn to see a giant piece of debris being thrown at him. He brings up his tendrils to shield his body, but the force of the impact sent him flying back anyway. He catches himself with his tentacles and looks to see Y/n running at him with their third arm still a mass of fleshy tendrils. However, they suddenly vanished from sight, catching Alasgor off-guard and wondering where they went.

Alastor quickly got his answer as he felt something wrap around and grab his face, pulling him down and slamming his face back down onto the ground again. Y/n, who dropped their camouflage, pulled Alastor towards themself and unsheathed their claws to stab them into the Overlord's chest. He grunts and grits his teeth in pain before looking back at Y/n. He then summons his staff and backhands the Amalgam with it, making them stumble back as they let go of Alastor. Then the Radio Demon summons multiple portals around him and Y/n, making Eldritch tentacles rise up from them as spirits of the damned fly out of them. Alastor sends them at Y/n, slamming them into the street with a sickening crunch of bones. Then Alastor lifts up his fist with a crazy look on his face, making the tentacles wrap around Y/n as they bring the Amalgam up into the air. Then he balls his hand into a fist, clenching it tightly as the tentacles wrap more and more around Y/n to crush them. As they slowly begin to get crushed, Y/n's breathing became more and more angry as a white hot glow slowly forms from underneath their chest.

Once Alastor no longer saw Y/n underneath all of the tentacles, he grinned victoriously as he returned to normal. He then went to turn away, not realizing that a white hot glow was leaking from the cracks of the tentacles holding Y/n. Then a white hot stream of fire erupted from the tentacles, making Alastor turn to it to see Y/n breathing fire, using it to burn away the tentacles which let them go. The amalgamated demon lands on their feet and looks at Alastor with an intense glare, smoke blowing from their nose.

Alastor: "Oh, my..."

The Goetia Manor, The Pride Ring
November 4th, 20XX
2:12 PM

At the Goetia Manor, Octavia is seen sitting cross-legged on her bedroom floor. She was crying as she looked at her phoned. She swiped through her gallery, looking at the photos of her and Y/n together. Most were of just her smiling while Y/n had their natural neutral face, but there were a few that had them both smiling. Then she found the video she took of her and Y/n, which automatically began playing.

Octavia: *smiles* "You look great, Y/n! Rocking that outfit."

The recording of Octavia tells the genderless demon as she stands up and walks up to them with her phone still recording. She pulls them in from the side as she focused her phone on both of them.

Octavia: "And we're wearing matching jackets? Pretty cool, huh?"

Octavia sniffles as she holds her head in her hand as tears stream down her face.

Octavia: "Y/n... why did you have to run? I just want you back..."

(I don't know where this art came from or who made it, but credit to the artist anyway, whoever it is)

The young princess sniffled again as she hugs her phone close to her chest. She just wanted Y/n back, more than anything. She regretted going into their head with Stolas and poking around their memories. She shouldn't have done that. She should've just let Y/n be, but she wanted to know what was wrong with them.

Octavia: "I'm so sorry..."

A loud thumping of footsteps catch Octavia's attention, making her look up just in time to see her bedroom door fly open. Her father stood in the doorway, his eyes holding surprise as he looked frazzled.

Octavia: "Dad?!"

Stolas: "I-I found Y/n!"

Octavia: "What?"

Octavia asked as she quickly stood to her feet, the news catching her by surprise.

Octavia: "Where? Where are they?!"

Stolas: "They're in Pentagram City. I saw them on the 666 News. They're fighting the Radio Demon!"

Octavia's pupils shrank in fear, worry filling her entire being. She knew Y/n was capable of defending themself against normal demons, but the Radio Demon was far from normal.

Octavia: "Then we need to get there! Now!"

Stolas: "I will make a portal. Come on!"

Octavia nodded and pocketed her phone as she followed her father out of her room. Stolas quickly makes a portal to where he estimated Y/n to be in Pentagram City, and father and daughter run through it to get to the city. However, once they go through, they stop when they see the scene before them. Buildings around them were broken with debris all around them, and white hot fire surrounded the area as well. They looked around in shock, worry consuming their minds.

Octavia: "We have to find Y/n! Now!"

Stolas nods in agreement, only to see something from the corner of his eye and lunge for his daughter.

Stolas: "Look out!"

Stolas grabs Octavia and moves just in time to avoid getting hit by something that instead crashed into a building. Its wall collapses upon impact and the father and daughter look at it in surprise before turning to where the thrown object came from. Their eyes widened when they saw Alastor, bleeding from the head and his mouth with burns and bruises on his face. One of his arms were also bent backwards, but he grabs it and snaps it back into place with a painful grunt. However, the Radio Demon hadn't noticed the two Goetias yet as he was focused on the building that was crashed into. The two also turn to the same building when they heard a roar, seeing a stream of white hot flames shooting from it and blasting the building apart. When the fire stopped, there was a moment of silence before angry growling could be heard. Then a figure, tattered with flames with shredded clothes, began stepping out from the building with glowing eyes. Octavia and Stolas gasped in shock when they see who it was.

Octavia & Stolas: "Y/n..."

Y/n walked forward before tearing off their flaming shirt and jacket, discarding them as they fall to the ground. And, in their battle-induced rage, Y/n didn't even notice Octavia or Stolas. They were too focused on Alastor, the target of their aggression.

Stolas: "How could Y/n do all this? How are they standing against Alastor?"

Octavia: "Dad, this is not time to theorize! We have to stop this now!"

Right as Octavia said this, Y/n roared and charged forward at Alastor. Alastor growled, doing the same as he charges Y/n as well with his shadow tentacles.

Octavia: "DAD!"

Stolas: "Right!"

Stolas shoots his hands forward to use his magic to stop Y/n and Alastor. However, someone else calls out through the street before the prince could do anything.

"That's enough!"

A heavy force suddenly pushed down on everyone onto the ground, keeping them from moving at all. This included Y/n and Alastor, neither being able to stand up as they struggled to stay on their hands and knees alone. Y/n struggled to stand back up, resisting whatever force was pushing down on them, only to fall flat onto the ground. Everyone turned to see Charlie standing outside of her family limo, her horns sprouting from her hair as her yellow and red eyes flipped to be red and yellow. Her hand was reached out, balled into a fist with an enraged look on her face.

Charlie: "What... the fuck... WERE YOU TWO THINKING?!"

Alastor: "Oh, dear..."

Octavia & Stolas: "Oh, shit."

Charlie snarled in anger as she approached the Overlord and Amalgam. However, she stopped when she sees Stolas and Octavia at the streetside watching everything. She looks at them, completely caught off-guard.

Charlie: "What are you two doing here?"

Stolas: "Um, if-if you could let us up, I could explain everything, your majesty."

Charlie: "Hm? Oh, right. Sometimes I forget the range of this ability."

With that, the princess of Hell waved her hand which released the force that was pushing down on the two Goetias. They finally stand up with painful grunts, with Octavia rubbing her neck while Stolas just stretched with some satisfying cracks being heard.

Stolas: "Thank you, princess."

Octavia: "Fuck, that hurt like a bitch."

Octavia swore as she rubbed her neck. Charlie returned to normal as she approached the two.

Charlie: "Alright, so what are you two doing here? Don't you live closer to Imp City?"

Stolas: "Yes, but we had to come here because--"

Octavia: "Y/n!"

Octavia called out as she ran towards the grounded amalgamated demon. They turn to look at her, their pupils becoming round as they realized that she was there. They immediately began squirming, trying to get away from her.

Octavia: "Y/n, are you alright?! Why are you fighting Alastor?!"

Octavia asked as she dropped down next to Y/n as she went to touch them, but hesitated to do so. She instead turned to Charlie who looked at her in confusion.

Octavia: "You have to let them go!"

Charlie: "Wait, you know Y/n? How?"

Octavia: "How? They're my closest friend! How do you know them?"

Charlie: "They're my patient. At the Happy Hotel."

Stolas: "The Happy Hotel?"

Octavia: "You mean that stupid redemption thing?"

Charlie deadpanned at this.

Charlie: "Gee, thanks."

The princess rolled her eyes before shaking her head.

Charlie: "Alastor brought Y/n to the hotel since he thought they'd make a good patient. They've been staying since yesterday. You didn't know?"

Stolas: "We had no idea where they went. They ran away."

Charlie: "Why'd they run?"

Stolas and Octavia didn't have an answer. None that they'd like to speak about, anyway. This caught Charlie by surprise, suspicion growing.

Charlie: "You two didn't--?"

Stolas: "No, we didn't hurt them! They--"

Octavia: "They were scared of hurting me. I made them relive some bad stuff, I didn't mean to but I did, and they... acted out."

Charlie: "What do you mean... acted out?"

Octavia: "They... tried to attack me."

Charlie: "What?!"

Octavia: "But it wasn't their fault! I made them relive something they shouldn't have. They just reacted."

Charlie looked at Octavia and Y/n with sympathy. She then sighed before she crosses her arms.

Charlie: "Do you two promise not to fight anymore?"

Alastor: "Y-yes, Charlie..."

Y/n just grunted in response, and Charlie decided to take it. She waved her hand through the air, releasing the force that was pushing down on the two. Alastor was able to stand up with a painful grunt as he cracks his neck, and Charlie walks up to him to check up on him. Octavia tries to help Y/n up, but they only push her away and scramble back from her in fear. Not of her but for her. However, Octavia just stares at her friend for a moment before calmly speaking.

Octavia: "Y/n, look at me. I'm fine, you see?"

Y/n glances at the young princess, worry in their three eyes.

Octavia: "I know you didn't mean to attack me. I should have listened to you and left your memories alone. I shouldn't have put you through that again."

Y/n: "Not... Via fault."

Octavia: "But it feels like it. I just wanted to understand and it went badly. I'm sorry. Please, forgive me."

Y/n: "Not Via fault. Y/n fault. Not normal, like Via."

Octavia: "Normal...? What do you mean?"

"So you're the Octavia Y/n told me about."

Octavia turned to who spoke, seeing Alastor being held up by Charlie. He seemed considerably injured from his fight with Y/n.

Octavia: "They talked about me?"

Alastor: "You're the reason they made a deal with me. So they can become normal like you. My, aren't I surprised that the Octavia is none other than the daughter of Stolas of the Ars Goetia!"

Stolas: "Hello, Alastor."

Stolas greeted the Radio Demon as he appeared next to his daughter and Y/n. Alastor grinned.

Alastor: "Your highness."

Octavia ignored her father and Alastor, instead turning back to Y/n in shock.

Octavia: "You wanted to be normal... for me?"

Y/n nodded silently in response. This took Octavia by surprise.

Octavia: "Y/n..."

Octavia sighed as she stood up. She walked over to Y/n before sitting down next to them, placing a hand on their shoulder.

Octavia: "Y/n... there's no such thing as normal. You don't have to change yourself for me. You're... well, I can't say perfect just the way you are, but you're as close to it as you can be. I don't ever want you to change for me. I..."

Octavia trailed off at this. She didn't know what to say after that. But it seemed that Y/n understood and they leaned their head on her shoulder, making the young princess blush.

Y/n: "Y/n understand."

Octavia: "O-oh. Okay. That's good-good to hear."

Stolas looks at the two and smiles at them. However, Charlie breaks the silence that had followed.

Charlie: "I'm very sorry to interrupt this sweet reunion, but I do need to bring up that my hotel has been damaged."

Stolas: "Oh, of course! I will pay for any damages that have been caused to your establishment. And you may also punish Y/n in any way you see fit."

Octavia: "Wait, what?"

Y/n: "Hm?"

Charlie: "I appreciate it, Stolas. And I will take some time to think it over. I think we should all go back to our homes and rest. It's... been a day."

Stolas: "Indeed it has. Come now, you two. I think we should make our leave."

Octavia: "A-alright, Dad."

Octavia said as she stood up and looked back down at Y/n, who looked unsure to follow. Octavia just offered offered her hand to them and they looked at it before looking up at the princess' face. She smiled at them, giving them reassurance as they stand up and take her hand. Then Y/n hugs her, catching the young princess off-guard as she blushes again.

Y/n: "Y/n love Octavia..."

Octavia freezes up, not expecting to hear those words. She had no idea what to say to that, and couldn't respond at all. And before she could think of a response, Stolas grabs the two ans drags them through a portal which closes behind them. Charlie watched them leave before checking up on Alastor.

Charlie: "Are you okay, Alastor?"

Alastor: "Just dandy, my de--"

Alastor begins coughing, holding his hand over his mouth which gets covered in blood.

Alastor: "Nevermind..."

Charlie: "Come on, let's get you back to the hotel."

Alastor nods in agreement as he lets Charlie help him walk towards the limo she drove in.

Charlie: "You do know you're in trouble, right?"

Alastor: "Heheh. I guessed as much. There's just... one thing I don't understand."

Charlie: "What's that, Al?"

Charlie asked as she helped Alastor into the limo.

Alastor: "Why didn't the deal work? We held up both of our ends of the deal. They killed Vox and I was willing to help them become "normal". So why didn't it work?"

Charlie steps into the limo and tells the drivers to go.

Alastor: "It was like... like they didn't have a soul to change? If that makes sense."

Charlie freezes at this, and slowly turned to Alastor.

Charlie: "No... soul?"

Alastor: "It surely seems that way... Why? Is something wrong, Charlie?"

Charlie was silent for a few moments as she gripped her pants tightly. Her eyes shook in fear as she realized what Y/n was, and it wasn't a normal demon.

Charlie: "You're lucky Y/n didn't kill you."
______________________________________

There it is! The (technical) end to The Hotel! There will actually be an aftermath chapter for these three parts, but other than that this is the final part for The Hotel. We'll be back to the regular chapters afterwards.

And man, this one really took along time to make. Not including this here, it's almost 8000 words long. But I couldn't just leave it and split this chapter into two halves. It didn't seem right. So here it is. Any theories as to why Y/n suddenly gained the ability to breathe fire? Or why Charlie was so scared at the end of this chapter? I'd love to hear them!

Now, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. Have a good day/night, and I'll be seeing you next time! Toodles!
