At the hotel, preparations had been completed and roles had been given. Now came the most tedious part of upcoming conflict, waiting for it to happen.

Everyone was just sitting around, having drinks or something. Emily noticed Velvette's look.

"Hey, let's go out and smoke." Emily said.

"What kind?" Velvette asked.

"Sloth, Lust, Greed; you name it." Emily said with a grin. "I've got as many cigarette/cigar brands as Husk has booze at the bar."

"Let's go with Lust." Velvette said as the two headed out the back of the building.

The two lit their cigarette's and Emily looked at her.

"What's on your mind?" Emily asked,

"... Verosika." Velvette said.

"Oooooh." Emily winced.

"Yeah." Velvette added, inhaling from her cigarette and blowing smoke out. "I hate her for what she did, I feel so used... but... I still am in love with her... I don't know what to do."

"Wish I could help." Emily said, shrugging. "Romance is not my thing."

"I know. I'd ask your sistah but she might still want to kill me for five years ago." Velvette said, blowing some more smoke out. "As for your dad, no offense, but he's still obsessed over that missing queen."

"Yeah, so... you're kinda on your own." Emily said, blowing her own smoke out.

"Yeah, figured." Velvette said, "On the bright side I probably won't be alive long enough to worry."

Velvette noticed something, there differnce in color concerning their second hand smoke .

'Why is my smoke a darker shade of blue?' Velvette thought, before shrugging it off, 'Probably just because I'm experiencing something that she isn't.'

"Hey! Don't say that, we're going to win this and you are going to survive." Emily said to Velvette.

"Are all angels this optimistic?" Velvette asked.

"Hey, if we're getting technical, you're an angel too." Emily said.

"That's besides the point." Velvette sad.

"Well, regardless of the point, being an Angel doesn't mean you can't still have hope. Be it on Earth, in Heaven, in Hell, or even in space beyond Earth." Emily said, taking a deep puff of her cigarette.

The two sat in silence for a few more minutes before Velvette spoke up.

"Do you really think we'll beat him?" Velvette asked, "That army has wiped out more than 20% of the population the last few years, there's no telling what they have planned next." Velvette said.

"... what's the world coming to if angels lose faith?" Emily asked, "We got this."

Emily ate the reat of her cigarette and nodded her head towards the door.

"Come on, let's get inside before the others get nervous." Emily said.

"What do they have to be nervous about? If we're making out?" Velvette joked.

"Ew. No offense and it's not just cuz I'm an ace aro but you're not my type." Emily said with a grin.

"Uh, excuse you, I've made succubus cum." Velvette said with a hand on her puffed up chest. "Anyone would be happy to be with me!"

"Mmmm, maybe but not me. I'm married to my job, booze, smokes, and food." Emily said as she playfully pats Velvette's face cheek. "Sorry but you're not any of those things."

"I could be food." Velvette mumbled, "Fucking organs... flesh has the real flavor."

"Sure and people say skinless chicken is good too." Emily said, rolling her eyes.

As they opened the door, Lucifer's limo had pulled up out front.

"Well, here we are." Lucifer said.

"The Hazbin Hotel? Interesting name for a redemption facility." Gabriel said as they exited the limo.

"It was named by an "associate" of Charlie's. One I still don't trust." Lucifer said.

"We can worry about that another time." Jophiel said.

"You're right." Lucifer said, grabbing the limo's door handle, "You can head back to heaven if you want, I won't judge."

"Sadly for you, being family means you're stuck with us." Raphael said.

"For the rest of eternity." Uriel said, crossing his arms.

"That makes me feel better." Lucifer said, shutting the limo door. "Come on, let's get inside."

Despite not seeing any demons around, the angels rushed to the door as Lucifer leisurely walked.

He was still the first demon and former king after all, everyone knew him.

Opening the door, Lucifer was inside for about half a second when he was enveloped in two hugs.

"Dad!" Emily and Charlie said happily.

"There's my girls!" Lucifer said happily as he hugged them back.

"You made it! Charlie said, happily that their heaviest hitter had arrived.

"You can't start a war to save our home and family without Daddy Pride with you!" Lucifer said with a chuckle. And, I came with some help because yoi know what's better than one Archangel? All seven of them."

The rest of their uncles and aunt revealed themselves as they joined in the hug with their nieces. One of which shapeshifted into a snake and slipped out.

Yeah... she's still bitter about being cast out.

'I see Sera's not here, good. I wanted to see that bird bitch the least.' Emily thought as she turned back to normal and crossed her arms.

"Michael, Gabriel, Uriel, Raphael, Jophiel, Azrael." She said with a nod.

"Still a bit upset I take it?" Jophiel asked, "So I guess you won't want to hang out with your favorite aunt anytime soon?"

"No, I hang out with aunt Bee pretty regularly." Emily said, before walking to Velvette.

"So these are our Heavenly, head honcho, heavy hitters?" Velvette asked.

"Trying saying that five times fast and yes. They are." Emily said with a nod.

Lucifer looked at Velvette, making the doll feel nervous. Last time she saw that look he put a chain around her neck... the very same chain that he was summoning and pulling her towards him with. Velvette felt her body land on the ground, and the feeling of carpet as she was pulled close.

"Dad!?" Emily said.

Lucifer grabbed her by the part of the chain around her neck and sternly looked at her. Velvette felt pure fear as she stared into his eyes... before the chain around her neck fell to the ground. He then pushed Velvette away, with her landing on the floor.

"Make no mistake, I am not letting you free from that chain because I like you, I am doing it because you are standing with Emily to protect her and this place." Lucifer said, glaring at Velvette. "But I want you to know, I haven't forgotten what you and those associates of yours did... I never will, and I will never forgive for what was nearly taken from me."

"I-I-I..." Velvette quickly stood up and bowed to him. "Thank you, Sir."

"You can thank me by saving my granddaughter and killing any exorcist that stands in your way." Lucifer said, flaring his magic as a fiery aura around himself. "Now get out of my sight."

Velvette quickly grabbed Emily and pulled her away from the angry dad.

"Your dad is really fucking scary!" Velvette whispered slowly.

"I know but he's just protective like that." Emily said.

They went over to the bar, where Sir Pentious was.

"Hey, Pentious, it's been a minute, how have you been?" Emily asked.

"Nervous but excited! I can't wait for my plans to go off and show Heaven our might!" Pentious said, holding his drink up.

"And that you're the best military strategist in the afterlife?" Emily joked.

"Well, I don't mean to brag." Sir Pentious said.

That's when Angel walked over with a person with him.

"Well, we got another one to help." Angel said, "Emily, you remember, Cherri Bomb."

"Yeah... she blew a hole in the wall when I first met her." Emily said, crossing her arms, "Always the same fucking wall."

Angel rolled his eyes.

"Cherri, this is Velvette, she's a bit of a bitch, but we tolerate her." Angel said.

"Wow, feeling the love." Velvette said, rolling her eyes.

"And I'm sure you know-"

Cherri walked over to Sir Pentious and put her hands on his shoulders.

"Hey there, Pen." Cherri said, before kissing him.

Velvette, Emily, and Angel's eyes went wide... before Velvette put her hand over Emily's eyes.

"I am not a child!" Emily said.

"You are for how they're kissing." Velvette comments.

With lots of tongue, moainign, and spit.

"... When did this happen?!" Angel asked.

"A few months ago." Cherri said, "You were busy having fun working at that club, I felt a bit lonely, ended up hanging out with snaky over here, and we kinda hit it off."

Angel felt a bit upset that he didn't hang out with Cherri as much as he could've. Cherri punched his shoulder.

"Hey, I know that face, don't feel bad, you deserve to work somewhere that treats you right after putting up with that fuck head moth for decades." Cherri said, grabbing Pentious' arm, "Now if you don't mind, Mr. Two Dick here is going to fill both my holes at once."

Cherri and pentious went towards the stairs.

"Bye my friends, I'm off to have sex before marriage!" Pentious said, waving them goodbye.

"Ugh! I didn't need to hear that." Emily said as she pushed Velvette's hand away.

"So next time I should cover your ears, got it." Velvette said with a nod.

"That wouldn't work either, I can read lips." Emily said.

"Oh? Then maybe I'll just eat your eye balls and ears." Velvette joked.

"Like I would let that happen." Emily said, turning back to rhe bar. "Now come on, I want one last drink with my best friend before we get killed."

"Well, I won't argue with a free drink." Velvette said, "Besides, we have seven archangels, what are they going to do against that?"

(Line Break)

Vox smiled widely as he showed off the weapons on the table.

"Here is what you asked for." He said, gesturingto the weapons with a flourish. "High quality angelic weapons."

Lute walked over and picked up her sword, seeing some of the upgrades.

The handle now has a trigger and the blade was split apart slightly, showing smaller blades in between like a chainsaw.

"A saw sword? Impressive and so light." Lite said as she looked it over before pushing the trigger.

BZZZZZZZZZZ! The blade buzzed to life as the small blades spun around at high speed.

"And that's not all I've done." Vox said, pulling out what looked like Adam's guitar, "I've took the liberty of upgrading this, now when you strum it, your angelic power will be increased."

"Get out! You serious?!" Adam asked in excitement.

"Play rock ballad. See if I'm lying." Vox said, holding the guitar out to him.

"With pleasure!" Adam said as he retook his (musical and literal) axe and created a golden pike. "Let's rock!"

Vox moved behind Lute, as this would probably hurt otherwise. Adam strummed it, and a golden wave came from it and shook the room.

"Fuck yeah!" Adam said, gleefully playing as he felt his power rising! "This is going to show those skanks who's boss!"

"I'm glad you like it, now let me show you the Coup de grâce." Vox said, going back to the weapons, "I made sure this was the most powerful weapon, so much that it could kill the user if they use it too long. The length you can hold it depends on your angelic power."

"Why make something that dangerous?" Lute asked.

"Simple." Vox said, glancing back with an extremely wide grin. "It's the only weapon in Hell that can kill Lucifer."
