Evil is our business, and business is good. That is the slogan of the Black Hat Organization, a company that supplies weapons and aud to Villains across the Multiverse. Led by the cosmic entity known as Black Hat, the Black Hat Organization enjoys a successful lucrative business that has clients throughout the Multiverse. Countless Villains across the Multiverse have done business with Black Hat and his organization. One day at his Manor, Black Hat was looking for ways to further expand his business when Dr. Flug, Demencia and 5.0.5: Black Hat's employees enter Black Hat's office.

Black Hat: I hope you three have a good explanation for this unwanted entry into my office.

Dr. Flug: S...sorry, sir. But there's someone who wishes to see you.

Black Hat: Oh? Last I checked, I had no scheduled appointments.

Dr. Flug: He was....insistent that he'd see you.

???: I'll take it from here, my cowardly fellow!

As the voice called out, Alastor strolls into Black Hat's office. As Alastor made his presence known, Black Hat gave his undivided attention to the Radio Demon. Despite the sinister grin on his face, Black Hat hardly considered Alastor to be pleasant company. While they did business, Black Hat considered Alastor to be a rival. The feeling was mutual for Alastor.

Black Hat: Alastor. To what do I owe this....unexpected visit?

Alastor: Things have been quite....boring down in Hell. Far too boring for my taste!

Black Hat: I heard you lent your patronage to Lucifer's daughter is opening a hotel to....rehabilitate sinners. How....unpleasant.

Alastor: While the idea of rehabilitating sinners is certainly laughable, I can't help but admire the girl's spunk! Even though this endeavor will no doubt end in complete and utter disaster, it will be quite the spectacle!

As Alastor said this, Black Hat smirked. He had been keeping tabs on Charlie Morningstar's endeavors into the Hazbin Hotel. While Black Hat found this repulsive, it was of no immediate concern to him.

Black Hat: Why are you here, Alastor?

Alastor: As I said, things have become quite dull down in Hell! You see, I get no pleasure when the world is still. It's like a wheel that isn't turning. How boring! So I've decided to come right to your doorstep and issue you a challenge!

Upon hearing this, Dr. Flug along with Demencia and 5.0.5 were taken aback by Alastor's declaration. Black Hat maintained his calm demeanor. 

Demencia: Want me to throw this pompous ass out the door?!

Alastor: Oh my dear, there's not much you can do against me!

As Demencia clenched her fists in anger, Black Hat intervened. After a moment, Black Hat smirked at the Radio Demon.

Black Hat: A challenge, you say? What kind of challenge?

Alastor: A good ole game of cat and mouse! A game of murder and mayhem!

Black Hat: You came all this way to...challenge me to a game?

Alastor: Allow me to elaborate, we recruit other....like minded individuals from across the Multiverse and we battle one another!

Black Hat: You're asking me to risk the lives of potential clients to satisfy your bloodlust? That's hardly good business, Alastor. Even you know this.

Alastor: Oh I know. That is why that I suggest that we take our games to the....dark corners of the Multiverse! To the places where hope dies and only madness reigns! To the very shadow of the Multiverse itself! The Dark Multiverse!

As Alastor said this, Black Hat became interested in this game. While he was not one to adhere to Alastor's games, Black Hat was also a savvy businessman. Within this game, he saw an opportunity to further expand this business.

Black Hat: You drive a hard bargain, Alastor. But perhaps this game might be beneficial to me. Very well, Alastor. I accept your challenge.

As Black Hat accepted Alastor's challenge, a sinister toothy grin fell on Alastor's face.

Alastor: How wonderful, Black Hat! I knew you'd come around! Now that the game has begun, we must go about selecting our champions! I hope you're ready for a good scrap cause I sure am! Good luck, my...old friend! I'll be seeing you soon!

With that, Alastor left to find his champion. Once Black Hat was left alone with his associates, Dr Flug as well as Demencia and 5.0.5 were silent.

Dr. Flug: S....sir? Lord Black Hat?

Black Hat: I have a....special assignment for you three. I think it's time we paid a visit to the Dark Multiverse. It's been too long since I've visited the Dark Multiverse. 

Dr. Flug: O....of course, Lord Black Hat!

Demencia: The Dark Multiverse, huh? I always knew this gig would take me to the nicest places!

Dr. Flug: We...we should be careful, Demencia. The Dark Multiverse is not to be trifled with. Even a small ripple could have devastating consequences across the Infinite Multiverse. 

Black Hat: Let me make one thing clear to you three. This is an assignment in which failure is NOT an option! That smug arrogant bastard has the gall to walk into MY office and issue a challenge to me!

As Black Hat made his anger know, all three of Black Hat's associates became terrified. It became clear that Alastor's appearance infuriated Black Hat. After an uneasy silence, Dr. Flug steps forward.

Dr. Flug: We won't fail you, my lord Black Hat, sir!

Black Hat: I hope so, Doctor. For your own sake, I hope you give an....exceptional performance. Now go.

With that, Dr. Flug along with Demencia and 5.0.5 left Black Hat's office to find Black Hat's office to recruit the man Black Hat had eyed. In that moment, Black Hat and Alastor were locked in a deadly game that could impact the entire Multiverse. And this deadly game between Black Hat and Alastor would attract the attention of some very important players.
