You, Devil and Dice are up now and you're downstairs. Dice sighs and smiles saying, "Ah, yes. I can tell this is going to be a swell day. I got what I wanted and I'm happy." You smirk and you look up at him from the Devil's chair saying, "You're welcome." 

Devil says, "I wonder whose soul I'll have to get this time. Not that Cup's, even though he was my favorite one to want to take. My main target back in the day. The old man's lucky to be alive, today. Even now for your sake, dear." You say, "Appreciate you at least sparing HIM. I still love granddad." 

Devil says, "Dice. I may need your company as well as Henchman's. You're coming with me." You say, "And me?" Devil says, "For some reason, Stickler has not involved you in this one." You say, "Well, damn... For my safety, maybe?" He says, "Um... yeah. I'm sure it is. All of Hell wants their queen to be protected." 

You say, "Good point. Also, I'm curious as to whose soul it is you have to collect, too." Dice says, "Well, when Big D finds out, he'll tell you." Devil grins and says, "Exactly." You say, "Keep Henchman safe. For me? I may be the queen of Hell now, but I care about him. I'll murder anybody that hurts him, too." 

Devil says, "I can assure you my dear, our Henchman will be just fine. He is an immortal like myself and my minions. Stickler himself is also immortal." You smile and you sit back saying, "Good."

You hear this, "Ahem." You, Devil and Dice grin. Devil says, "Oh, here comes the auditor. Ready for the distraction, dear?" You smirk and you stand up saying, "So ready." You see Stickler arrive and he's got the book of the collection of souls in his hands. He says, "You may be off at once, sir. The soul to collect cannot wait any longer." 

You grin and you say, "Hey. Mr. Auditor." He says, "Oh boy. Here we go." Devil grins and says, "Do it." You lean down, facing Stickler and you giggle. He gulps and says, "Oh boy." He holds the book to his chest. You say, "Hey you. Like everything you see on me? Here... Here's another sneak peak.~" 

You grip your pants and you whisper, "The front end.~" Stickler tries to hide a blush. You say, "Someone like you could use a little glimpse.~" You get them down, but not too far. Stickler gulps and sweats a bit. He looks away. Devil and Dice hold back a laugh. You laugh a bit and you get your pants back up saying, "Sorry. I need to sit for a bit. Everyone's watching." 

You, Devil and Dice laugh. You sit down and you say, "I'm a married woman, silly auditor. I'm not going to show my snatch to just anyone I want." Devil looks at Stickler and says, "Oh, the look on your face!" He laughs. Stickler says, "J-just be ready, sir... f-for the... soul to collect. A-and put in the s-soul vault." He walks off. You grin and you face Devil and Dice. 

Dice says, "Brilliant as always. The beauty gets them every time." Devil says, "Oh hush, Dice. It gets you too." Dice says, "I know she's your wife, but can you blame this former game show host?" 

Devil chuckles and says, "Not a bit, Dice. Now come along. I've got to retrieve that soul. It's been a little bit since I've collected one." He looks over at you and he says, "We'll be back, asap." You say, "Okay, babe. I'll be here." They head out of there. 

You sit back on the throne. You yell, "Rudy!" Rudy runs in and says, "Your highness?" You say, "Play my favorite song, would you?" Rudy says, "Right away, miss." He runs to the radio and he turns it on. He puts a CD in. It plays Even Flow by Pearl Jam. 

You sigh and you grin saying, "Yes. I love this song so much." You get up and you dance to it. Some of the imps join in. Nelly says, "I needed music too, chick." You grin and you say, "Oh yeah!" You keep dancing. You're unaware that you're being watched. It's someone from down there. They whisper, "Enough is enough, your highness." They walk off.

**************************************************

After dancing and all, you're walking down the hallway. You say, "Ah, great song. I do love my rock music." You suddenly spot something near a room. It's the game room. You walk towards the door and there's a sign. It reads 'The new game Mortal Kombat has arrived. Plus, a jukebox with all of your favorite rock bands on it.' You grin and you say, "Oh, sweet. I'm in." 

(It's 1992. That's when Mortal Kombat was first released. 30 years.)

You get in there, but you look around and you don't see the new game. You say, "Aw, man. What gives? Where's the new Mortal Kombat game? I can't be deceived like this, man! Come on! Where's that new game I've heard of a lot?! I heard it's supposed to be the first ever game to publicly introduce blood and gore and maybe get away with it for several years! Maybe movies of it in a few years!"

You hear this, "If you think you're getting to play that newly released video game, you are sadly mistaken." You recognized that voice. You knew it had to belong to... Stickler. You turn around and there he is. Book in one hand. The other hand with his finger pointing up.

You smirk and you say, "Trying to trick me, Mr. Auditor? You fall for MY shit all the time. This is the only time you've gotten ME. Ha!" He says, "Think again, your highness." You say, "What are you talking about?" For once, he throws the book down. Purposely. He snaps his fingers and he says, "Gentlemen!"  

You gasp as you suddenly see two burly like demons taller than the Devil himself approach you. They get to you. Stickler says, "Restrain her, boys." They grab each of your arms and you say, "Um. W-what's going on?" You look down at Stickler in shock. 

He still has that same expression he always does. He says, "An unexpected turn of events, lady of the underworld. Your constant teasing has gone far enough." You say, "S-Stickler. C-come on, man. I was just screwing around. Swear on it." 

He says, "I will not be falling for that lie. Boys... Rip the shirt apart." He snaps his fingers and the bigger demons tear your shirt open a bit, revealing your bra. You gasp and you look at Stickler. He says, "Mhm... Yes. You are a tempting one indeed, your highness. You should've noticed a few red flags when even I was losing it to you. I never do that with just anybody, (Y/N)." 

You say, "Stickler. Look, dude. I... I'll stop messing with you. Just make these two release me! Please? I won't fuck with you again." He grabs a stool nearby and he approaches you. You look at him, feeling worried now. 

He stands close to you and puts the stool down. He stands on it. He faces you. He looks you up and down and he looks at you. He says, "You've pushed me far enough, your highness. No more will I tolerate such behavior. And by the way..." He leans in and says, "The soul about to be collected... is your so-called best friend from the surface. Marcy Stageplay." 

You say, "W-what? Marcy? What did SHE do? She was sick during my wedding." He says, "Correction, my dear... She faked being sick and refused to show up. She cheated on Simon Carnation with Beppi the Clown's grandson Bono the Bozo. Normally, that's okay down here... but she betrayed YOU as a friend. She would've turned on you. Exposing you as a hell whore." 

You say, "N-no. She wouldn't. Not Marcy." He cups your chin and he says, "I'm afraid so. An auditor from the underworld does NOT lie, your highness. I'm dedicated to my job. Now... What to do with YOU while the boss is out." You say, "S-Stickler. Please... We can talk about this." 

He says, "You've messed with the wrong being, (Y/N). Now... it's my turn to do away with you like the indecent wench you are." You close your eyes, preparing for the worst. But then you hear the snap of the fingers and Stickler saying, "Release her, boys." You open your eyes and the big demons release you from their grasp. You drop down to your knees and you look up at Stickler in shock. 

He says, "Let this be a lesson to you... Never underestimate the auditor from the underworld. Go about your day. Don't let this happen again or next time... I may not let you go." You gulp. He says, "Well... That about does it. Boys... You can head out and do what you do." The big demons head out. Stickler bows to you and says, "Good day to you, your highness." He picks up his book, turns away and walks out of there.

You get up and you back away. You say, "Holy shit. Stickler's more ruthless than I thought." You head out of the game room and you head up to yours and the Devil's room. You're still in shock from what had just happened. You did NOT expect that at all. You shut the doors behind you as you get in yours and Devil's room and you say, "Fucking hell. I'm not messing with HIM again." 

You walk to the bed and you sit down. You turn the radio on to listen to music and you lay back on the bed, trying to ignore what had just happened a moment ago. An unexpected turn of events. You knew one thing for sure... You were NOT going to mess with Stickler again. Ever.
