??? (Singing): 🎵I'm always chasing rainbows Watching clouds drifting by🎵
The scene fades in on graffiti and signs can be seen throughout Hell.

In vain🎵
The female looks back at The Clock Tower as it resets the timer for the next yearly cleanse.
HELLBØUND (PILØT Part 1)
After a long year, the yearly cleanse has arrived and screams of pain and horror can be heard across the entire city, but atop of a building, a humanoid figure can be seen watching the streets as they were stained in blood and destroyed terrain can be seen almost everywhere. However, the figure turned to the source of a female screaming as Crymini was running away from three Exorcists almost catching up to her.
However, she tripped and fell to the ground, rolling. After she stopped, she tried to get up, but the Exorcists have closed in on her and one was about to deliver the final strike. Crymini braced for impact as she closed her eyes and looked away, but nothing happened. Instead, she heard the Exorcist screech and opened her eyes to see the same figure have its hands on the Exorcist's shoulders as though it was pushing it back. In the front angle, the Exorcist stared in shock as the figure that stopped it was none other than a young human male named Y/N L/N.
Y/N: *smirks* Heh.
The Exorcist screeched and tried to stab Y/N, but Y/N leaned to the left and when it was wide open, Y/N landed a punch to its face and pushed it to the side.
Y/N: *seethes & waves hand* Agh, fuck! *grunts in pain* That's one hard helmet. Argh!
Crymini managed to get a good look at Y/N's face and gasped at him.
Crymini: Y-You... You-You are... You're a human...?!
Y/N: And you're a talking canine who was about to get skewered by a screaming... whatever that was. Guess we've both had a bit of a weird day.
Crymini: B-But... You're... actually a human... B-But, how? It's... supposed to be... i-impossible...
Y/N: You okay, there?
However, Y/N turned to the grounded Exorcist as it stood up and screeched at him. It charged at him, but Y/N kicked it to the others and it recovered.
Y/N: *to Crymini* Get out of here! And turn back until it's safe!
Crymini: Are you kidding me? There's nowhere to hide from those fucking monstrosities!
Y/N: Would you rather stay here and get potentially killed by them?
Crymini: ... N-No.
Y/N: Then, I'm asking you to trust me and get out of here. I'll buy you some time.
Crymini: ... F-Fine, it's your funeral, human!
She stood up and hid in a nearby alley. However, she stopped and turned around.
Crymini: *thinking* Wh-Why? Why the hell am I stopping? I should be getting out of here. ... But, that human... He's not seriously gonna fight them, is he? ... Maybe to check on him...
As Crymini came back to the scene, she sees Y/N standing in front of the Exorcists as they were surprised to see Y/N's appearance.
Y/N: *thinking* What the hell are they? They look human, but the way they talk... Well, can it even be considered talking? They're just screaming. And their masks... This world's so weird and different. What's going on? Huh?
He then watched as the Exorcists got in position and readied their weapons at Y/N.
Y/N: *thinking* I don't think I can do much, but anything's better than running away. I gotta at least try.
He gets in position, surprising Crymini.
Crymini: Dumbass, what are you doing?! You're gonna get yourself killed!
Y/N: *looks at Crymini* Wouldn't be the first time.
Crymini: No, you don't understand! They can't be defeated! Nor can they be killed!
Y/N: What, they're immortal or something?
Crymini: You... could say that.
Y/N: Thanks for the heads-up, but if you think that will make me afraid of them, think again!
Crymini: What?
Y/N got in position to fight. The Exorcists were surprised by this, but they got in position and charged at him.
Y/N: *thinking* Three against one, huh? Talk about unfair.
They got to him and slammed their spears against Y/N, only for Y/N to jump up and used the middle Exorcist to give him a little push into the air as he rested his hands on its back and pushed off, resulting in the same Exorcist to be slammed to the ground. When it recovered, it looked up to see Y/N falling and when he got to its face, he kicked it in the face. It got knocked back a little, giving Y/N time to recover from the ground. The other Exorcists turned around and saw Y/N still alive and fight one of their brethren. Y/N charged at it as it regained composure and tried to attack Y/N with its spear, but Y/N moved to the left and uppercutted its chin, making it drop the spear. Y/N grabbed it and got in battle position. However, he turned around to see the two charge at him. He thought quick by slamming the end of the spear to the ground and Y/N used it to jump higher as one of them flew past him and slammed into another. The third Exorcist closed in on Y/N, but Y/N managed to roll on its back and then, slammed the spear into the Exorcist, making it plummet to the ground. Y/N landed on the ground with a fierce knee to the back, making an X-ray of his knee shattering the Exorcist's spine. The Exorcist screeched in pain and Y/N backed away.
Y/N: Stay down, if you value your life.
Unfortunately, the pummeled Exorcist didn't heed his warning. It screeched at him and got up to try and kill him.
Y/N: Tch.
He got in position as it charged at him, but to everyone's shock, Y/N held the spear out against the Exorcist's face, piercing it through. Y/N caught its body and placed it to the ground.
Crymini: You fucking dumbass! I told you they can't be killed!
Y/N: If that's true, then why isn't it getting back up?
Crymini looked at the Exorcist as it was barely moving, at all. Not to mention, gold blood was leaking from its head, making Crymini's eyes widen in shock.
Crymini: *utterly speechless* ...
Y/N: Heh. "Can't be killed", my ass.
He then stood his ground and turned to the remaining two as they were shocked to witness their fallen comrade on the ground.
Y/N: So, what's it gonna be? Will you go back to whatever hole you crawled out of? Or would you rather end up like your friend, here?
One stepped back a little while the other shook its fist against Y/N. They screamed and charged at Y/N.
Y/N: *shrugs & shakes head* No one ever takes a warning when it's given to them... Fine, then.
He pulls the spear out of the dead Exorcist and spun it before getting in position.
Y/N: You brought this on yourself!
Y/N and one Exorcist clashed as they held each other back through their spears clashing against each other. The other took advantage and tried to stab Y/N.
Y/N: *thinking* Predictable!
Y/N allowed the Exorcist he's clashing with to push him back, resulting in the Exorcist with the spear out to stab another in the chest. They fell to the ground and when the Exorcist got up, the other did, too, but was holding its stab wound on its chest.
Crymini: *thinking* H-How is this human able to go toe-to-toe against the same monstrosities that can't be killed? Nevermind that, how was he able to kill one? No one's ever been able to kill one. Not since... *eyes widen* Not since back then...
She looked at Y/N as he kicked the stabbed Exorcist away and clashed with another, but as he did, his appearance changed to someone else and back to himself. As they clashed, the stabbed Exorcist screeched out to the skies and its voice echoed.
Y/N: *takes notice* Huh?
Wasting no time to find out, Y/N pushed the Exorcist back and smacked its face to the ground with his spear. After doing so, he looked up to see more Exorcists take to the skies and move to where he was.
Y/N: *eyes widen* Holy shit... There's more of these guys?
When an armada of Exorcists arrived at the battlefield, they take notice to their fallen comrade and to another who was stabbed. Finally, they turned to Y/N as he was prepared for anything. Realizing he's not cowering in fear, they readied their weapons and charges at Y/N.
Y/N: *thinking* Looks like I bit off more than I could chew. I can't handle this kind of army. Three of them were bad enough to deal with, especially given to their lack of exhaustion and their bloodlust. What the hell do I do...? ... *stands in position* Well, I sure as hell am not running away!
They got closer to the point, Crymini looked away and covered her eyes.
Y/N: *thinking* Truth is, I'm not some kind of agent of justice or any of that, but even if the odds are against me... I'll die trying! *normal* COME ON!!!
The Exorcists screeched in response and closed in on Y/N, only for a loud bell to be heard in a distance. They halted their assault and looked to the Clock Tower as it reached 12. Y/N turned to the source of the bell sounds.
Y/N: What's that?
He then turned to the Exorcists as they flew away to an airborne portal and entered it. Y/N stared in surprise as he settled down.
Y/N: What just happened?
Crymini: *approaches Y/N* That was the Clock Tower. It counts down to the next Extermination Day. When the bell rings, the Exorcists are forced to head back to Heaven and wait till the next yearly cleanse.
Y/N: Oh. Phew. That was close, then. Can't tell if I was lucky or not.
Crymini: ... Human.
Y/N: The names Y/N L/N. But, my friends call me N/N.
Crymini: Well, Y/N, I hate to say it, but-
Y/N: Don't. Spare yourself the hassle to say it if you hate to say it.
Crymini: ... Thank you for saving me. No one would've done what you did, now. Seriously.
Y/N: ... Just glad I was able to save at least one life.
Crymini: What do you mean? I'm already dead.
Y/N: Huh?
Crymini: Do you not know where you are?
Y/N: ... Well, given the giant pentagram that's in the sky... I'm not really sure.
Crymini: You're in Hell.
Y/N: *eyes widen* Wait, seriously? Like, actual Hell?
Crymini: Yep.
Y/N: But... *looks around*
Crymini: Were you expecting something else?
Y/N: Honestly, yeah. But, I'm in Hell? But, I haven't done anything in my life that's committed to sin.
Crymini: Hard to tell if you're even dead, given you're still human. Those who die and go to Hell, their bodies change into the bodies that define the sins they've committed in life.
Y/N: Really? ... Were those monsters the same explanation?
Crymini: No. They're something completely different. They're Exorcists. Sent from Heaven to kill sinners to reduce the overpopulation.
Y/N: Heaven? Heaven sends demon-killing angels to... literally kill these people? Why?
Crymini: Beats the hell outta me. But, again, thank you for helping me. I'll take it from here. Good luck with your new life in Hell... N/N. See you, if you make it. *walks away*
Y/N: ... *looks at spear* Angels that kill demons. And not the other way around. *looks up* What kind of Hell am I living in?
The next day after Y/N found a place to sleep, he was seen walking to a nearby vending machine and looked at the choices.
Y/N: Seriously? This is their best choices? Are they even drinks? *scoffs & shakes head* What the hell ever, man.
He turned around and looked to see a strange creature exit a vehicle with bloody wheels and its appearance was similar to a female's due to its body, but its face was male. And it had four arms.
Driver: Heh. Thanks for the fun time, hot stuff!
???: *pushes hand through hair* Yeah, yeah, listen. *fixes hair more* Keep this discreet, you hear me? I can't let it get out I'm offerin' my services to randos on the street! It was a quick cash grab. Ya got it?
Driver: Pfft! Whatever you say, slut! Muhehehehehehe!
???: *pretends to be offended* Ouch! Ooh! *turns back to face him* Such an insult! Let me know when you've come up with something creative to call me, you sack of poorly packaged horse shit! Tell the missus I said "hi", Schnookums.
Driver: *defeatedly* Pack a- puh...
As the driver angrily drives off, the other demon looks behind him to see a vending machine for his namesake drugs. He goes for the angel dust and just as he gets a hold of it, he noticed Y/N
???: Whoa! You're a human. Now, that's something you don't see every day.
Y/N: And if I am...? *crosses arms*
???: Nothing, really. It's just very interesting that you're still human. How's that so?
Y/N: Beats me.
???: Hmm... Y'know, for a young human, you're actually quite fetching. I almost forgot what being human was like.
He approached Y/N and started touching his crotch, but Y/N smacked his hand away.
Y/N: Sorry, pal, but I'm not gay.
Angel Dust: Oh, you will be. Soon enough. The name's Angel Dust.
Y/N: Angel Dust? What kind of name is that?
Angel Dust: The kind of drug that people are attracted to.
Y/N: *eyes widen* Drugs?
Angel Dust: Indeed, Schnookums.
Y/N: Stop calling me that! It's weird. I'm Y/N L/N. Friends call me N/N.
Angel Dust: Mmm... Clearly, your parents lack taste. To me, you're still Schnookums.
Y/N: *eye roll*
Angel Dust: Now, leave me to my business.
However, before he could turn his attention to his drugs, a random demon runs by and steals his drugs.
???: Yoink!
Angel Dust/Y/N: Hey!
???: Up yours, drag show!
A boulder proceeds to fall out of the sky, crushing the feathered demon alongside Angel's drugs. Angel and Y/N gasp.
Angel Dust/Y/N: Oh my GOD!
Y/N rushes over to the boulder and tried to help the guy underneath while Angel leans in to pick up what's left of his pack of drugs with a devastated look on his face.
Angel Dust: MY DRUGS! *clenches cloth angrily & looks up* Damn it!
Y/N: *deadpan* Wow. Really?
Angel Dust: Yeah, really!
They both then looked up to see a war ship passing by, destroying its surroundings.
Y/N: Whoa! Is that a blimp?
Angel Dust: It's a warship.
Y/N: Hell has warships? Since when? And how much of Hell do I not know?
Angel Dust: You'd be surprised. And I know exactly who's piloting that damn thing. *runs away*
Y/N: Hey, where are you going?!
Angel Dust: I'm gonna go have a chat with the smug bastard! You're welcome to join me, if you want! I ain't waiting for you! *runs away*
Y/N: ... *looks up, thinking* I'm getting a bad feeling about this... I better go help him.
He stood up and ran to where Angel went to. Inside the warship, a snake man was seen with an armada of eggs.
???: *operating controls to ship & laughs evilly* Those other cowardly ssssinners dare not hinder my territorial take over! A wise decision! The power of my machines are unmatched!
He proceeds to push two levers as his hood flares open.
???: No other demon can compare to the likesss of I!
Egg Boi #23: Gee! That was pretty swell, boss!
Egg Boi #666: Yeah!
Other Egg Boi: You really showed them what for! I liked when you...
He uses his hand and mimics the action of a shooting ray gun.
Other Egg Boi: ... shot them with your ray gun!
He then gets slapped away by the snake.
Egg Boi #23: I wish he'd shoot me with his ray gun!
Other Egg Boi pats him.
???: *hood flares open* At this rate, I will seize control of the entire west side of The Pentagram by day's end! And nothing, not a single beast in this inferno of suffering will be able to take back this empire from my constrictive grasp!
An Egg Boi suddenly pops on screen and pops open a bottle of whiskey onto the snake's face. He proceeds to swat said Egg Boi aside.
Random Egg Boi: Oh, boy!
Sir Pentious: Hell will be mine! And everybody will know the name of Sir Pen-
Sir Pentious is interrupted by a scream coming from offscreen. Sir Pentious and two Egg Bois become surprised.
???: EDGELORD!
Sir Pentious: *offended* Pardon?! Who said that?!
He looks around angrily and eyes the two Egg Bois behind him.
Sir Pentious: What did you just say to me, you fried chicken fetuses?! *hisses* Speak up!
The Two Egg Bois: *petrified* That wasn't us, Mr. Bossman.
A small bomb with a print of a skull on it breaks through Sir Pentious's ship. It then lands right between Sir Pentious and the two Egg Bois. The bomb proceeds to blow up, leaving red smoke behind.
Sir Pentious: *coughs and hacks*
As the smoke clears up, the owner of the scream is revealed to be a female cyclops as she prepares another bomb in hand.
Cherri Bomb: You lookin' for a fight, old man?! Why don't you get that tinker toy bullshit off my turf before I smash it?!
A large pipe falls on top of an already dead Egg Boi, crushing him as Sir Pentious and Cherri momentarily look at the carnage.
Cherri Bomb: *grins sadistically* ... More!
Sir Pentious: Oh! *hood flares open* You wanna go, missy?! Well, I'm happy to oblige! Ahahah!
Sir Pentious is then backed up by his henchmen of Egg Bois. The logo for 666 News and is shown on a black background, which is followed by the day's newscast.
Katie Killjoy: Good afternoon, I'm Katie Killjoy.
Tom Trench: And I'm Tom Trench! Chaos out at Pentagram City today as a turf war is raging on the west side!
An image of Sir Pentious trying to be hip, followed by a drawing of Cherri flipping the bird is shown.
Tom Trench: Between notable kingpin, Sir Pentious, and self-proclaimed spunky powerhouse, Cherri Bomb!
Katie Killjoy: That's right, Tom! After the recent extermination, many areas are now up for grabs! Demons all over Hell are already duking it out to gain new territory!
A live clip of Cherri and Sir Pentious's clash is shown.
Tom Trench: Those two seem to be really going at it, huh?
Katie Killjoy: Looks like they're fighting tooth and nail for that hot spot!
Tom Trench: *looking over at live broadcast focusing on Cherri* And I'd sure like to nail her hot spot! *wiggles eyebrows* Hoohoo!
Katie Killjoy: Haha, you are a limp-dick jackass, Tom! Or should I say... *pours scalding hot coffee onto his crotch* no dick?
Tom Trench: *curls over in pain* Ugh...not again!
Screen shows a picture of Charlie as Tom can still be heard whimpering in pain in the background.
Katie Killjoy: Coming up next, we have an exclusive interview with the daughter of Hell's own head honcho who's here to discuss her brand new passion project! All that and more, after the break!
She crushes her mug in her hand and turns to Trench who's still in pain.
Katie Killjoy: Suck it up, you little bi-!
The news cast cuts off and goes on a commercial break. Back inside the 666 building, two girls were seen getting ready.
Vaggie: *exhales & fixes Charlie's bowtie* Okay! You remember what to say?
Charlie: *inhales* Yes! Let's do this!
Vaggie: Just look at me and I'll mouth it to you.
Charlie: Come on, Vaggie! I know what to say! I just feel like we need to... I don't know... *grabs and throws doughnut away* make things sound more exciting! *Gasps* What if I si-
Vaggie: *cutting Charlie off* Sing a song about it?
Charlie: You knew I was gonna say that! *boops Vaggie on nose*
Vaggie: Because I know you. *fixes her bow again* But, please don't sing! *shakes Charlie* This is serious!
Charlie: Well, you know, I'm better at expressing myself and my goals through song!
Charlie stands on the table where Razzle and Dazzle happily munching on doughnuts, watching her.
Vaggie: But, life isn't a musical, hon. *places hands on hips* Just remember what we went through, okay?
Charlie: Fine. But, I have these other ideas of what to say!
She starts jumping a bit as she shows Vaggie a piece of paper.
Charlie: The highlighted bits are the best part!
Vaggie: Uh, it's all highlighted. *squints* Is this a drawing...?
Charlie: Yes! That's the happy ending, see?! *begins to fantasize* Everyone smiling and happy in Heaven!
Vaggie: *pinches bridge of her nose* I don't think it's that simple. Just please follow the talking points we went over. And do not sing!
Charlie: Okay, fine. *in a man accent* I'll just have to resort to my impeccable improv skills!
She salutes Vaggie as she walks over to Katie Killjoy.
Charlie: *nervously* Hi! I'm Charlie. *tries to go for a handshake*
Katie Killjoy: Katie Killjoy. *blows out smoke of her cigarette* I'd say it's a pleasure to meet you, but that would be a lie. *throws away her cigarette* And you can put that away. *gestures to Charlie's hand* I don't touch the gays. I have standards!
Charlie: Yeah? How's uh... how's that working out for ya? *turns to look around nervously*
Katie Killjoy: Look, my time is money. So, I'll keep this short. *proceeds to poke Charlie* You're not here because we wanted you here. You're here because Jeffrey couldn't make it for his cannibal cooking segment. You might be some royal big shot. *fluffs her hair*. But, that doesn't mean shit to me. I'm too rich and too influential to give a flying fuck about what some tux-wearing demon "princess" wants to advertise.
Tom can be seen shaking his head in disapproval as Katie boasts about her wealth and influence to Charlie.
Charlie: But, I-
Katie Killjoy: *continues to poke her chest* So, don't get cute with me, honey, or I will fucking bury you!
News Staff: And we're live!
Killjoy rushes back to her desk, holding papers while cracking her neck.
Katie Killjoy: Welcome back! So, Charlotte!
Charlie: It's... Charlie.
She smiles nervously as a spotlight flashes her way. Back with Y/N, he continued to follow Angel, but he noticed a group of demons gathering around to a large TV, showing Charlie. Y/N halted and joined the gang.
Katie Killjoy: Whatever. Tell us about this new passion project you've been insistently pestering our news station about! *tries to hold in her outburst by clenching her pen*
Y/N: *raises eyebrow* Passion project?
Charlie looks around as Vaggie motions her to go on. Well... Ahem! As most of you know, I was born here in Hell and growing up, I always tried to see the good in everyone around me.
Killjoy spots a slug and stabs it with her pen, the slug's blood bursts all over.
Charlie: Hell is my home and-
She then gets slug blood splattered across her cheek which she then wipes off.
Charlie: You are my people. We... We just went through another extermination.
Vaggie is seen giving Charlie two thumbs up as Killjoy quickly starts to lose interest.
Y/N: *whispers* Extermination...
Charlie: We lost so many souls and it breaks my heart to see my people being slaughtered every year. No one is even given a chance!
She slams fist on table, waking Killjoy up.
Charlie: *walks up from Killjoy's desk* I can't stand idly by while the place I live is subjected to such violence! So, I've been thinking. Isn't there a more humane way to hinder overpopulation here in Hell?
She walks around the audience.
Charlie: Perhaps we can create an alternative way to change souls through... redemption?
She throws her arm around one of the News Cast's staff members.
Charlie: Well, I think yes! So, that's what this project aims to achieve! *returns to Killjoy's desk* Ladies and gentlemen, I'm opening the first of its kind! A hotel that rehabilitates sinners!
Her broadcast is being shown at The Radio Shack, which many other demons are also watching by the streets and everywhere else in Hell.
Y/N: Redemption? A hotel that rehabilitates sinners? Add that to the list of things I wasn't expecting to know about in Hell...
Charlie: *starts to lose her confidence* Y'know? Cause hotels are for people passin' through... temporarily... I think it'll serve a purpose... a place to work toward redemption... yay...!
The scene cuts back to the demons watching her broadcast from The Radio Shack. A mysterious figure walks up to see her broadcast alongside a bunch of other demons watching such as Crymini and a handful of others.
Cameraman Demon: *snickers* Stupid bitch.
Vaggie punches the cameraman square in the face.
Y/N: Is that what the fuss is about? Everybody went through an extermination and now, Princess Charlie wants to build a hotel and redeems and rehabilitates damned souls?
Charlie: *looks around, saddened* Look, every single one of you has something good, deep down inside. I know you do! ... Maybe I'm not getting through to you.
Razzle and Dazzle are then alerted that Charlie's about to sing and that she may need their back-up vocals.
Vaggie: *facepalms* Oh no...
Charlie snaps her fingers as the room turns dark and a spotlight is shown over a piano that Charlie, Razzle and Dazzle start performing on. Meanwhile, back at The Radio Shack, Alastor and his shadow can be seen tilting their heads curiously as their smiles widen.
Charlie (Singing):🎵I have a dream, I'm here to tell🎵
She walks away from the piano as two news staff look at each other
Charlie (Singing):🎵About a wonderful fantastic new hotel🎵
She takes out a drawing of The Happy Hotel.
Charlie (Singing):🎵Yes, it's one-of-a-kind
Right here in Hell, catering to a specific clientele🎵
She boops Dazzle's nose.
Razzle & Dazzle (Singing):🎵Oooh ooh ooh🎵
Killjoy is in shock as Trench looks around, confused. Y/N couldn't help but tap along to the beat of the song and danced a bit.
Charlie (Singing):🎵Inside of every demon is a rainbow🎵
She throws her arm around the necks of two bird demons.
Charlie (Singing):🎵Inside every sinner is a shiny smile🎵
She passes underneath a hellhound's tail.
Charlie (Singing):🎵Inside of every creepy hatchet-wielding maniac is a jolly, happy cupcake-loving child🎵

Charlie (Singing): 🎵We can turn them 'round🎵
She turns to Killjoy and Trench.
Charlie (Singing):🎵They'll be Heaven-bound
With just a little time
Down at The Happy Hotel🎵
The camera pans to the audience where Vaggie stands with a disappointed expression, but Y/N continued to dance along.
Charlie (Singing): 🎵So, all you junkies🎵
She takes out syringe from a doll demon's head.
Charlie (Singing):🎵Freaks🎵
She takes a pic with a Siamese twin demon in its cage.
Charlie (Singing):🎵And weirdos🎵
She fends off a several-eyed blob demon. Creepers stare at a snail demon out the window.
Charlie (Singing):🎵Fuck-ups 🎵
She boops a couch demon on the nose.
Charlie (Singing):🎵Crooks and zeroes🎵
She returns the stolen money to charity.
Charlie (Singing):🎵And down-fallen superheroes🎵
She throws her hands behind the necks of two supervillain demons.
Charlie (Singing):🎵Help is here
All of you cretins🎵
She dips her hair into the water by the pier.
Charlie (Singing):🎵Sluts🎵
She holds out a pair of panties in disgust.
Charlie (Singing):🎵And losers🎵
She calls her rival a loser.
Charlie (Singing):🎵Sexual deviants🎵
She backs away from the sex offenders.
Charlie (Singing):🎵And boozers🎵
She turns to face a depressed demon.
Charlie (Singing):🎵And prescription drug abusers🎵
She throws away the drugs a blue demon is taking into a burning trash can.
Charlie (Singing):🎵Need not fear
Forever again🎵
A demon lands on a wheelchair and is pushed by Razzle towards Charlie and Dazzle
Charlie (Singing):🎵We'll cure your sin🎵
She shows the demon her clipboard.
Charlie (Singing):🎵We'll make you well🎵
Dazzle injects a happiness serum into the patient.
Charlie (Singing):🎵You'll feel so swell
Right here in Hell🎵
She briefly turns to her full demonic form.
Charlie (Singing):🎵At The Happy Hotel🎵
Razzle continues to aggressively play the piano. She slides over to Killjoy's right.
Charlie (Singing):🎵There'll be no more fire🎵
She slides over to Trench's left.
Charlie (Singing):🎵And no more screams
Just puppy dog kisses🎵
She holds a dog close to her face.

Charlie (Singing):🎵Yeah🎵
Charlie ends the song, rather exhausted as everyone in the news station looks at her with disgust and disbelief.
Top Hat Demon: Wow! ... That was shit!
Everyone in the audience including Killjoy and Trench begin to laugh at Charlie. Charlie looks crushed and devastated and slumps back down to her seat. There was a boo section in the news and the demons look uninterested. Y/N looked around him to see people laughing and glared at them.
Y/N: Fucking assholes...
Katie Killjoy: What in the Nine Circles makes you think a single denizen of Hell would give two shits about becoming a better person?! You have no proof that this little experiment even works! You want people to be good?! Just... because?! *continues to laugh*
Charlie: Well, we have a patron already, who believes in our cause and he's shown incredible progress!
Katie Killjoy: *feigns shock* Oh? And who might that be?
Charlie: *tries to look smug and confident* Oh, just someone named... Angel Dust!
Y/N: *gasps* Oh no.
Tom Trench: The porn star?
Katie Killjoy: *turns to him menacingly* You fucking would, Tom! *turns back to Charlie* In any case, that's not even an accomplishment. I'm sure you could get that hooker to do anything with enough booger sugar and lube. *motions doing a handjob*
Charlie: Oh, I beg to differ! *begins to count on fingers* He's been behaved, clean, and out of trouble for two weeks now.
Y/N: *shakes head* That's not what I was seeing...
News Staff: Breaking News!
Killjoy shoves Charlie off her desk.
Katie Killjoy: We are receiving word that a new player has entered the ongoing turf war! Let's go to the live feed.
The live feed shows Angel Dust stepping on an Egg Boi and throwing a grenade over at Sir Pentious with visible laughter in the background as Charlie stares at the screen in defeat.
Charlie/Y/N: Oh... shit.
Angel Dust: I'm a bad person!
Katie Killjoy: "Oh, shit" indeed! It looks like the one who just joined the battle is none other than... *feigns a gasp* porn actor, Angel Dust! *turns to Charlie and shakes her fist* What a juicy coincidence! You must feel really stupid, right now.
Killjoy and Trench proceed to laugh at Charlie.
Killjoy and Trench: *does Jazz hands* Ratings!
Charlie: *stares at the live feed in distress and attempts to block it from the audience's view* Don't look at this!
Katie Killjoy: Well, it sure looks like your little project is dead on arrival. *looms over Charlie* Tell us, how does it feel to be a total failure?
Everyone in room start bursting into laughter.
Charlie: *tries to think of a comeback* Yeah, well... *looks around* How does it feel that I got your pen, huh?! *grabs Killjoy's ballpen* ... Bitch!
Everybody instantly stops laughing while Katie Killjoy and Tom Trench give her the death stare
Charlie: *nervously puts pen back down* Oops.
Tom Trench runs off set.
Killjoy's demonic form reveals itself as she looms over Charlie from the shadows. With Y/N, he looked to where an explosion occurred and his eye twitched.
Y/N: Oh, hell no, you're not! *runs away*
Meanwhile, after an explosion went off, Cherri and Angel were seen.
Cherri Bomb: Hey, thanks for the back up, Angie!
Angel Dust: Hahaha! You kiddin'? This is the best action I've seen in ages! *puts hands behind his head*
Cherri Bomb: *launching another cherry bomb* Where've you been, anyway? I thought you up and died or some shit.
Angel Dust: *lighting bomb and handing it to her* Oh, I wish! I've been staying at this crappy hotel on the other side of town. Some broads are lettin' me stay rent-free if I play nice.
They all cover their heads as the explosion sets off behind them, then Angel and Cherri grin at each other as they jump into the field.
Angel Dust: Y'know, no fights, no pranks, no "problematic language"... Her words, not mine.
He steps on a broken tile, launching an Egg Boi airborne and shoots him from behind as he sighs again.
Angel Dust: These crazy bitches are no fun! I've been clean for two weeks!
Cherri Bomb: *in disbelief, smiling* Holy shit!
Angel Dust: Well, sorta clean. Just clean as you can get from a shitload of Bolivian marching powder!
Angel gets chained and thrown aside by Sir Pentious.
Angel Dust: Ohh! Harder, daddy!
Sir Pentious: *gasps* Son?!
Angel lowers his eyebrow.
Y/N: Snake eyes!
Pentious looks to the left and saw Y/N charging at him. He kicks Pentious to the side.
Angel Dust: Hey, I know you! You're... Uh...
Y/N: I'll deal with you, later, but after this, don't expect any warm fuzzies from me because of what you did to humiliate Charlie.
Angel Dust: *eye roll* Oh, great. You're so lame.
Cherri Bomb: You know this guy?
Angel Dust: He's my boyfriend.
Y/N: Am not! I just got here in Hell and I barely know this asshole! But, what I do know is that he's a candidate to the Happy Hotel and apparently, he's out here, disgracing the princess's dream. And that's not something I'm willing to forgive and forget, asshole. *glares at Angel*
Cherri Bomb: You do look fetching. I'm not gonna lie about that.
Y/N: *shakes head & groans*
Cherri Bomb: Suit yourself.
Sir Pentious: *hood flares open* Grr! You whores have no classss! In war, the side remembered is the side with the most ssstyle! *adjusts tie*
Cherri Bomb: Or the side that ain't dead! *decapitates an Egg Boi*
Angel Dust: *stands up & removes chains restricting him* Speakin' a style, is your hat like, alive or something?
Y/N: Yeah, I'm wondering that, myself.
Sir Pentious: Oh! Well, that's none of your god damn bussssiness! Now, is it?
Y/N: Geez, no need to be a sourpuss about it.
Angel Dust: Hah, would that make your hat the top and you the bottom?
Egg Boi: *cups hands* Oooooh!
He gets a pebble thrown at him by Sir Pentious.
Sir Pentious: *enraged* I'm going to blow you to bitssss!
Angel Dust: *eyes him up & down* Hm, kinky!
Sir Pentious: Oh, not like that! *hood flares open* Pervert!
Angel notices an egg boi with a tentacle launcher which causes him to push Cherri to the side out of fear. He then gets tangled up in all the tentacles.
Sir Pentious: Not so cocky now, are we?!
Angel Dust: *unamused* Y'know, you really gotta watch what comes outta ya mouth. I've been making these sex jokes the whole *limbs gets pulled on as Sir Pentious reveals a drill which jump starts* TIME! *reveals his third pair of arms carrying a gun* And it's obvious ya ain't catchin' on. I mean, it's just sad! *shoots at Sir Pentious*
Cherri Bomb: So, think you're gonna get in a lotta trouble for this?
Angel Dust: Eh. *retracts his third set of arms* What's one little brawl gonna cause?
Y/N: Umm... Everything? Last I checked in movies, people who say shit like that get jinxed, which leads to something gone wrong.
Meanwhile, Charlie and Killjoy can be seen trying to duking it out on each other while a fire alarm goes off in the background with Trench entering the scene, covered in flames.
Tom Trench: WHY WON'T ANYONE HELP ME?!
Back with Y/N, they all then noticed more egg bois swarming at them.
Cherri Bomb: Glad you haven't changed! *hits Angel on arm* You know you're my favorite guy to party with!
Angel Dust: You know it, sugar tits!
Y/N: I don't get this relationship. Are you two together or are you partners?
Cherri Bomb: We're besties! He's gay.
Angel Dust: Heh. Guilty as charged, baby.
Y/N: *exclaims in disgust* Sorry. I'm not a big fan of that shit.
Angel Dust: Sure.
Cherri Bomb: *takes out one last bomb* You ready to finish this?
Angel Dust: *takes out gun* Born ready, baby!
Y/N: *holds arm out* No! You two have done enough carnage. Let the professionals show you how it's done.
Angel Dust: Suit yourself, Schnookums.
Y/N: *turns around* It's Y/N to you, bastard!
He then cracked his knuckles and his neck and got in position to fight after turning to Pentious.
Y/N: Alright. I'm fighting a snake that has an army of eggs with guns. Any last words? ... Yeah! That I wish I had a better plan than this!
He then ran towards the egg bois and they all shot at him. He then jumped up.
Y/N: Time for an omelette!
He then landed on the ground and charged at the egg bois. He swiftly dodged the bullets before he made short work of the egg bois and instantly moved forward against Pentious. He was about to make a move and threw his chains at Y/N, but Y/N grabbed the chain and it wrapped around his arm.
Sir Pentious: What the?!
Y/N: Alley-oop!
He then yanked the chain and pulled Pentious over his shoulders. After he landed on the ground, Y/N rushed to Pentious as he stood back up.
Sir Pentious: Enough! This kind of combat is beneath someone of my intellect! I am the future King of Hell, you stupid monkey! And I will not be bullied by-
Before he could finish, Y/N yanked the chain towards him and landed a pinch against Pentious's face, stunning him. He then kneed him in the chest, making him spit up saliva, and threw him over his shoulder before kicking him in the face, sending him crashing into a nearby building, rendering him unconscious.
Y/N: Hah... Hah... Hah... Hmph. Puny king.
Angel Dust: Whoa... I don't know how he moved like that, but that was badass!
Y/N: ...
Cherri Bomb: What's wrong?
Y/N: *turns to Angel & grabs collar of suit* If I wasn't around to prevent what would've been a catastrophic event, you could've destroyed the city with your reckless behavior!
Angel Dust: Geez. You're so lame.
Y/N: Look around you, dumbass! If everything around you was all wiped out, what would you do then, huh? How the hell can you continue from there?!
Angel Dust: ...
Y/N: You fucking can't! Next time you pull a stunt like this, be more careful about your surroundings. Otherwise, people will get caught in the crossfire! And know this, as long as I'm around, I'll make sure no bystanders get hurt, but if that happens, I promise you this. You will NOT be sleeping well, tonight! *pushes Angel away* Now, get a hold of yourself, Angel! *turns around* We've got incoming.
They turned around and noticed a limousine approaching them.
Vaggie: *rolls window down* Get in the car!
Angel Dust: Take it easy, babe. I'll get in.
Vaggie: *notices Y/N* Wait... Are you... a human?
Upon hearing that, Charlie looked out the window to look at Y/N.
Y/N: Don't bother asking me how that's possible because I don't know.
Vaggie: Angel, explanation, now!
Angel Dust: Hey, all I know is that he's a fun ruiner.
Y/N: You call that fun, Angel? You nearly destroyed the city and you think this is a game? If I hadn't stepped in to stop whatever was going on, you won't hear the end of... whoever's running this city!
Vaggie: Wait... You stopped Angel?
Y/N: Someone had to.
Charlie: ... Vaggie, a word?
Vaggie rolled up the window.
Charlie: I say we bring him with us.
Vaggie: What? Charlie, are you sure about this?
Charlie: I'm positive. I've got a good feeling about him.
Vaggie: But, he's human!
Charlie: Look at him! Does he look like he has any kind of malicious intent on his face?
Vaggie: ... No, but we shouldn't judge a book by its cover. We don't know his true intentions.
Charlie: What he did today was proof enough that he's not like everyone down here. Sure, he's human, but he could be the perfect example for the hotel. Besides, this is probably a once in a lifetime opportunity to interact with an actual human. Please?
Vaggie: ... *sighs* Fine. I'll give him a chance.
Charlie: *smiles* Thanks.
Vaggie: *rolls window down* Hey, human. The princess wants you to ride with us to the hotel.
Y/N: Really?
Vaggie: Yes, really. Now, get in.
Y/N nodded and stepped inside before the limo drove off. The royal family limousine can be seen driving back to the hotel. Charlie can be seen hugging her knees and looking out the window when her jacket is ruined after what happened at the studio, while Vaggie sits next to her, glaring furiously at Angel Dust. Y/N was minding his business as he had a nervous look on his face because he was worried.
Charlie: *sighs*
Vaggie: *eye twitches*
Angel Dust can be seen amusing himself by playing with the car window roller repeatedly.
Angel Dust: *takes notice* ... What?
Vaggie: "What?"? "WHAT?!"?! What were you DOING?!
Angel Dust: *sighs* I owed my girl buddy a solid! Isn't that a "redeeming quality"? Helping friends with stuff? *rolls eyes*
Vaggie: Not with turf wars that result in territorial genocide!
Y/N admitted that seeing Vaggie very angry was super scary. He had no intention of angering a woman, but seeing her like this, he couldn't feel more ashamed. Charlie took notice and reached out to pat his knee to reassure him. Y/N smiled and nodded.
Angel Dust: Eh, you win some, you lose a few hundred. *chuckles & inhales* It wasn't that bad, anyway.
Y/N: Not that bad, Angel? Are you fucking kidding me?! Do I even have to repeat myself? *clenches fists* Y'know, I'm starting to get the feeling that you're not taking this seriously.
Angel Dust: Why should I? It's not my problem, Schnookums.
Y/N: It should be your problem because the princess took you in.
He proceeds to play with the button of the car window roller. Vaggie throws a folded pocket knife at the window roller.
Angel Dust: Aw, come on! I had to! *brushes back hair* My credibility was on the line! I mean, what kind of reputation would I have if people found out I was tryna go clean? It just throws out my entire persona! *suggestively pushes up chest floof*
Y/N: *eye roll* Ugh, great. He's one of those people...
Vaggie: Your credibility? What about the hotel's?! Your little stunt made us look like a fucking joke! And then, you had the gull to invite more trouble into the mixture!
Y/N: Whoa, whoa, whoa! I had no intention of participating in a gang war!
Vaggie: Then, what were you doing teaming up with him?
Y/N: At first, I was trying to prevent Angel and his girl buddy from destroying the city, but I found out that the snake was planning on taking the throne of Hell. He was planning to dethrone the king! As for Angel, apparently, he was in it for the fun!
Angel Dust: Tattletale...
Y/N: So, I stepped in to stop both sides. Guess you could say I gave them both the what-for.
Vaggie: ... *sighs* For some reason... I believe you.
Y/N: What reason would I have to lie to you?
Vaggie: ...
Y/N: And as for you, Angel, what do you have to say for yourself? You made the Princess of Hell look like a joke!
Angel Dust: *scoffs* No, no, no, babe. Jokes are funny! I made you look... uh, sad! And pathetic! Like an orphan... with no arms... or legs... Oh! With progeria! Great! Now I'm bummed thinkin' about it! *starts looking around limousine* This thing have any liquor?
Y/N: *sarcastically* Wow! Thanks for painting a very vivid picture in my brain, even though I have no fucking clue what you're talking about!
Vaggie: Can you please just try to take this seriously?
Angel Dust: *flicks off dust bunny against Y/N* Fine, I'll try. Just don't get your taco in a twist, baby!
He snaps finger at her while smiling as Y/N groaned.
Vaggie: Was that you trying to be sexist or racist?!
Angel Dust: *groans* Whatever pisses you off more. Is there seriously no liquor in here?!
Vaggie: *returns to sit next to Charlie as she crosses her arms* I'm gonna kill 'im.
Angel Dust: Too late, toots. Wait! Would that make me double dead? Hah, and where exactly do I go? To Double Hell? *laughs* Sorry, you're stuck with me, bitch. Get used to it.
Vaggie: *angrily, as she grits her teeth* Con una mierda, malparido hijo de-! (For fuck's sake, you bastard son of-!)
Y/N: *thinking* Sheesh. Glad I'm not on the receiving side of this. She's scary...
Angel Dust: Listen, who cares if some jack-offs got hurt? Most of 'em are ugly freaks. Look around! *looks out limousine window, smirking* You got a bunch a fuckin' Harlequin babies down here! *laughing*
Vaggie: You're one to talk. *smiles smugly*
Angel Dust: Hey! This body is flawless! Everyone wants summa me, and I've got the creepy fan letters to prove it!
He takes letter from in between his chest floof and reveals it to Vaggie.
Y/N: *exclaims in disgust* Gross!
Vaggie: Grr...
Charlie: That was really uncool, y'know, Angel.
Vaggie: "Uncool"? After that train-wreck, there is no way anyone is gonna wanna stay at the hotel! All thanks to you and your selfish bullshit!
Y/N: That goes without argument! Nothing pisses me off more than people being selfish! They don't care about anybody but themselves.
Charlie: Well, the human did prevent casualties and helped to stop a gang war, so... Maybe there's a possibility...
Vaggie: Charlie, no offense to the human, but I don't think that his stunt is gonna quickly change the minds of everyone. If anything, it'll make people second guess their every move. Once again, no offense.
Y/N: It's alright. None taken.
Angel Dust: Does that mean I don't have a free room anymore?
Vaggie: *motions "What do you think?"*
Angel Dust: *snaps finger* Ah, well shucks.
Charlie: Hey, come on. *takes off ruined jacket* We don't know if things are over yet! Try to relax, Vaggie. *puts hand on Vaggie's left shoulder* I-It'll be okay!
Vaggie: *smiles at Charlie*
Y/N: Well, with all of that aside, shall we... get on to some pressing matters? For starters, a proper introduction. *clears throat & holds out hand* My name's Y/N L/N. But, my friends call me N/N.
Charlie: I'm Charlotte Morningstar. The Princess of Hell, heir to the throne, and the CEO of the Happy Hotel! But, my friends call me Charlie. This is my girlfriend, Vaggie. She's my co-founder of the Happy Hotel.
Vaggie: Hey.
Y/N: Hi. So, the Happy Hotel... What can you tell me about it? Because from what I've gathered, the hotel is a place for redemption upon sinners and rehabilitation for demons.
Charlie: That pretty much covers it, yeah.
Angel Dust: Trust me, being good is boring and stupid.
Y/N: *to Angel Dust* Can it, clown! *to Charlie* So, how does this trip to Heaven work? How does a sinner travel from here to Heaven?
Charlie: I... haven't worked out the kinks to that, yet. But, in order for a sinner to achieve redemption, they must repent for their sins and make up for what they did.
Y/N: ... And how does that work?
Charlie: Umm...
Vaggie: Basically, you gotta do a helluva lot of good.
Y/N: O-Okay. Yeah. Yeah, I can do that.
Charlie: H-Hold on, what?
Y/N: Look, unlike these assholes in Hell, I support you and your dreams. If there's anything that I can do to help, I'll be there. I... wanna be dependable and helpful.
Charlie: ... *looks at Vaggie*
Vaggie: *shrugs*
Charlie: So, you approve the idea of redemption?
Y/N: If I believe in peace, hope, and justice, then yes. Redemption and rehabilitation is a possibility.
Charlie: Fantastic! I-I mean, cool. Great. Once we get to the hotel, we'll get you situated.
Y/N: *eyes widen* Wait, seriously? You're letting me stay at the hotel?
Charlie: Well, yeah. I mean, you basically proved your worth and determination and I believe they're exactly what the hotel needs, so welcome to the family, N/N.
Y/N: ... *smiles softly* Thanks, Charlie. Y'know, for being the daughter of Lucifer Morningstar, you're not what I was expecting you to be.
Charlie: Trust me, N/N, I know that you're new to Hell, but there's a lot of things you don't know about. And I'd be glad to offer you some advice. If it's ever needed.
Y/N: Thanks, Charlie. You won't regret it. And Vaggie? Umm... Are we cool?
Vaggie: ... As long as you don't fuck up like this asshole did, then you're okay in my book, N/N.
Y/N: *nods* Understood. Thanks for giving me a chance.
Vaggie: ... *smiles softly* I just fail to understand how someone like you got to Hell in the first place.
Y/N: Yeah... Me, too...
The limousine arrives at the hotel as the hotel door opens, revealing a very old and dirty establishment. Vaggie throws herself on the couch, facing the wall.
Vaggie: Ugh!
Angel Dust rummages through the fridge leaning by the wall and grabbing a box of Popsies as Charlie sits down on some boxes and Y/N sits down next to her to comfort her.
Angel Dust: Eh, it's probably a good idea to get some actual food in this place. Y'know, to feed all the wayward souls you got in here! Ahahaha! Ahaha...! Eh... Ah...
He stopped laughing after he watched Y/N glare at him. He closes the fridge door as he tries to comfort Charlie, but decides to back off.
Y/N: Charlie, you alright?
Charlie: I'm fine. I... I think I need some air for a moment.
Charlie exits the hotel and tries to contact her mother. Y/N secretly follows her outside.
Charlie: *sighs & calls Lilith* Hey, Mom. I know I keep calling and you must be busy... Really busy... But, um, the interview didn't go well. *shrinks to her knees* And... I don't know if I'm ever going to make a difference. *starts crying* I don't know what I'm doing. I could really use some advice, mom. I... I think Dad was right about me... Anyway... *wipes tears away* I'll stop talking before this gets long. *stands up* Love you, bye...
Charlie walks back in and leans by the door in defeat.
Y/N: Don't beat yourself up like that, Charlie.
Charlie: Y/N?
Y/N: Sorry, I... couldn't help but listen in. Look, I know that things have been... complicated, lately. And... I'm terrible at giving people advice because I could never find the words to comfort someone, but listen, Charlie, you can't let people's negativity cloud your judgement.
Charlie: Kinda hard to do that when everyone's against my ass about this whole... redemption idea.
Y/N: Not everyone is against it.
Charlie: Same general concept. Look, I don't know what to do, N/N. I'm... not sure how to continue from here on.
Y/N: Then, let me and Vaggie help you out along the way. Look, everyone's against the idea because they don't understand.
Charlie: What do you mean?
Y/N: People are frightened when they don't understand something. And it causes them to lash out at that in their own way. And some others will agree to that.
Charlie: Everybody in Hell is opposed to the thought of redemption, N/N!
Y/N: ... Then, let me ask you something. Why is it that you want to seek redemption for everyone?
Charlie: Because Hell is becoming overpopulated and yesterday was Extermination Day! Everyone died-
Y/N: Wait, Extermination Day? What's that?
Charlie: ... Extermination Day is the event that occurs at the end of each year. Exterminators from Heaven come down to Hell and start murdering sinners.
Y/N: ... So, then why do you want to redeem Hell?
Charlie: Because I'm trying to save my kingdom from having to be overpopulated, but also, I don't want to see my kingdom shed more blood and destruction. The only way I can save my kingdom from having to be overpopulated is to offer them redemption.
Y/N: That's why I was there with Angel. To prevent them from causing mayhem to your home. And because I support your dreams.
Charlie: This coming from a human?
Y/N: Trust me, I care about Hell like you do. I really do. And I want to see this idea of redemption through to the end. But, maybe what you need is an inside point of view.
Charlie: Huh?
Y/N: You need to understand people's perspective of things. Why do you think people don't approve redemption?
Charlie: Because it's a stupid idea?
Y/N: Because they don't want to change who they are. Or who they want to be. But, more importantly, they don't approve because they're scared.
Charlie: Scared?
Y/N: Yeah. They're scared because they know that you're right and they're wrong. But, making fun of you and laughing at you is the only response to you because they're only doing it to make themselves feel better. People are... narcissistic. And stupid. They don't understand because they're criminals and bad people. You don't know much about humans, do you?
Charlie: For as long as I can remember, we were only shown the worst side of humanity. This is Hell, after all. But, how am I supposed to achieve my dream if that's what they are?
Y/N: When people are being critical or non-supportive, you have to ignore what they say or do to you if it means harm to you. Nevermind them. If they don't care, then make them care! Make them listen to you because deep down, they know you're right and they're afraid that you are. I know that it may seem hopeless and impossible, but it's not. With the right motivation and the right direction, anything's possible. And with the right help.
Charlie: ...
Y/N: Charlie...
He knelt down to her and placed his hand on her shoulder.
Y/N: You need to learn to focus more on the good side of things rather than the negativity, even if it's all around you. Besides, you have me and Vaggie. I can't say the same for Angel after what happened.
Charlie: ...
Y/N: Hey, if you ever need help, I'll help you out. And Vaggie. I mean, everybody's gotta have a rainbow inside them, right?
Charlie: *gasps*
Y/N: W-What? What's wrong?
Charlie: N-Nothing. It's just that I've always thought that way.
Y/N: Heh. I learned it from your song in TV. Gotta say, you have good taste in music.
Charlie: *smiles* Thanks, N/N. I needed that.
Y/N nodded and smiled. Charlie then hugged him and he was surprised, but he returned it.
Y/N: Just give it some time, okay? Who knows? Maybe we'll get a new patient looking for redemption pretty soon.
They then heard knocking on the door.
Y/N: See? There's one.
Charlie: W-Wait!
Y/N: Hm?
Charlie: I... I have a bad feeling about this.
Y/N: Why?
Charlie: Don't know. I'll answer.
She then walked to the door and opened the door, only to reveal...
Alastor: Hel-
Charlie slammed the door in front of him and looks to the side for a brief moment before opening the door again.
Alastor: -lo!
Charlie slams door in front of his face once more.
Charlie: Hey, Vaggie?
Vaggie: *annoyed* What?
Charlie: The Radio Demon is at the door!
Vaggie: *sits up* What?!
Angel Dust: *takes out popsicle from mouth* Uh... who?
Y/N: Radio Demon...?
Charlie: What should I do?!
Vaggie: Uh, well, don't let him in!
Y/N: Why not?
Charlie decides to disregard Vaggie's advice once more and opens the door for Alastor.
Alastor: May I speak now?
Charlie: You may...
Alastor: *reaches hand out* Alastor! Pleasure to be meeting you, sweetheart! *pulls Charlie towards him* Quite a pleasure! *lets himself in* Excuse my sudden visit, but I saw your fiasco on a picture show, and I just couldn't resist! What a performance! Why, I haven't been that entertained since the stock market crash of 1929! Hahahahaha! So many orphans...
Y/N: Umm... Why does he sound like a broken radio?
Vaggie: *holds a harpoon towards his chest* Stop right there, cabrón hijo de perra (bastard son of a bitch)! I know your game and I'm not gonna let you hurt anyone here, you pompous cheesy talkshow shitlord!
Alastor: Dear, if I wanted to hurt anyone here...
He then turns into his demonic form.
Alastor (Demonic): I would've done so...
The screen distorts as Charlie and Vaggie stare at him in fear, but Y/N was confused.
Alastor: *snaps back to reality* No! I'm here because I want to help!
Charlie: Say what now?
Alastor: Help! Hahaha, hello? Is this thing on? *taps on his mic* Testing, testing!
Alastor's Mic: *opens its eye* Well, I heard you loud and clear!
Y/N: I think he has a screw loose.
Charlie: Um, you want to help? With...?
Alastor: *teleports behind the two with his shadow* This ridiculous thing you're trying to do! This hotel! I want to help you run it.
Charlie: But... why?
Y/N: Yeah, what's your endgame?
Alastor: Hahaha, why does anyone do anything? Sheer, absolute boredom! I've lacked inspiration for decades. My work became mundane, lacking focus, aimless! I've come to crave a new form of entertainment! Hahaha!
Charlie: Does getting into a fistfight with a reporter count as entertainment...?
Alastor: Hahaha! It's the purest kind, my dear. Reality! True passion! After all, the world is a stage and the stage is a world of entertainment.
Y/N: ... I'm not sure about that...
Charlie: So, does this mean you think it's possible to rehabilitate a demon?
Alastor: Hahahahaha! *shakes hand in front of her* Of course not! That's wacky nonsense! Redemption. Oh, the non-existent humanity! No, no, no, no. I don't think there's anything left that could save such loathsome sinners! The chance given was the life they lived before, the punishment is this! There is no undoing what is done!
Y/N: Hey, buddy, redemption is not silly or wacky nonsense! You don't know what you're talking about!
Alastor: Don't I, though, N/N?
Y/N: *eyes widen* ...
Charlie: So, then. Why do you wanna help me if you don't believe in my cause?
Alastor: Consider it an investment in ongoing entertainment for myself! I want to watch the scum of the world struggle to climb up the hill of betterment only to repeatedly trip and tumble down to the fiery pit of failure!
Charlie: Right...
Alastor: Yes, indeedy! I see big things coming your way and who better to help you than I?
Angel Dust: Uh, so... uh, what's the deal with Smiles over there?
Vaggie: Wait, you've never heard of him before? You've been here longer than me!
Angel Dust: *shrugs*
Vaggie: What about you?
Y/N: New to Hell, remember?
Vaggie: The Radio Demon. One of the most powerful beings Hell has ever seen?
Angel Dust: *shrugs a second time* Eh, not big on politics.
Y/N: Again, new to Hell.
Vaggie: Ugh! Decades ago, Alastor manifested in Hell.
Scene changes to a visual presentation of Vaggie's story regarding Alastor.
Vaggie: Seemingly overnight. He began to topple Overlords who have been dominant for centuries. That kind of raw power had never been harnessed by a mortal soul before. Then, he broadcast his carnage all throughout Hell just so everyone could witness his ability. Sinners started calling him "The Radio Demon". Many have speculated what unimaginable force enabled him to rival our world's most ancient and destructive evils. But one thing's for sure. He's an unpredictable source of danger, a wicked spirit of mystery, and a violent monster of chaos, the likes of which we can't risk getting involved with unless we want to end up erased!
Angel Dust: Ya done? *Laughs dryly* He looks like a strawberry pimp.
Vaggie: Well, I don't trust him!
Angel Dust: To be fair, do you trust any man? Any men? Men?
Y/N: Seriously? He's that dangerous?
Vaggie: *nods*
Y/N: Sheesh... He's got quite a reputation...
Vaggie: *grabs Charlie by the shoulder* Charlie, listen to me. You can't believe this creep! He isn't just a happy face! He's a deal-maker! Pure evil! He can't be redeemed! ... And is most likely looking for a way to destroy everything we're trying to do!
Charlie: I... *sighs* We don't know that! Look, I know he's bad, and I know he probably doesn't wanna change, but the whole point of this is to give people a chance!
Alastor inspects a portrait of the royal family.
Charlie: To have faith things will be better! How can I turn someone away? I can't. It goes against everything I'm trying to do. Everything I believe in. *puts hands on Vaggie's shoulders* Just... trust me. I can take care of myself! Besides, Y/N just got done offering me some advice. I'm not gonna let this guy's negativity mock the idea of redemption.
Vaggie: Charlie, whatever you do, do not make a deal with him!
Alastor makes a gesture with his hand, seemingly focusing on Vaggie.
Charlie: Don't worry, I picked up one thing from my dad! *imitating her dad's voice* "You don't take shit from other demons!" *walks off to where Alastor is*
Vaggie: ... *looks at Y/N*
Charlie: Okay, so, Al. You're sketchy as fuck and you clearly see what I'm trying to do here as a joke.
As Charlie turns away, glowing red symbols start to appear beside Alastor which quickly disappear after Charlie turns back to Alastor.
Charlie: But, I don't. I think everyone deserves a chance to prove they can be better. So, I'm taking your offer to help. On the condition that there be no... *makes gestures with hands* tricks or voodoo strings attached.
Alastor: So, it's a deal, then?
As Alastor rolls his eyes at that last statement, he twirls his mic staff and presents his hand for a handshake as green energy bursts throughout the hotel.
Charlie: *refusing his handshake* Nope! No shaking! No deals! I... Hmm... As Princess of Hell and heir to the throne, I, uh, hereby order that you help with this hotel. For as long as you desire.
Charlie looks over to Vaggie for approval, but she looked away and Y/N just shrugged.
Charlie: Sound fair?
Alastor: *rubs his chin* Hmm... *retracts his mic staff* Fair enough!
Charlie: *sighs in relief* Cool beans.
Alastor: *hums while looking around & notices Vaggie* Smile, my dear! *tickles underside of her chin* You know you're never fully dressed without one! *walks away as he continues humming* So where is your hotel staff?
Charlie: Uh, well-
Camera pans to Vaggie who's staring at Alastor dead in the eyes.
Alastor: *adjusts monocle* Ohohoho, you're going to need more than that. And what about you?
Y/N: Umm...
Charlie: That's Y/N L/N! We call him N/N. He's with me! As a patient of the Happy Hotel and as my co-worker.
Alastor: This one? He doesn't even look bright.
Y/N: Hey!
Charlie: Well, I trust him! Especially after what he said. In the limo and a few minutes ago.
Alastor: Whatever you say, princess. *walks away*
Y/N: Thanks, Charlie.
Charlie: Sure thing, pal. *pats Y/N's shoulder*
Alastor: *walks towards Angel Dust* And what can you do, my effeminate fellow?
Angel Dust: I can suck your dick!
Alastor: HAH! No.
Angel Dust: *scoffs* Your loss.
Alastor: Well, this just won't do! *takes out his mic staff* I suppose I can cash in a few favors to liven things up.
At the snap of his finger, a new fireplace has replaced the hotel's worn down one as he approaches it and picks up the mysterious figure covered in soot, which then opens its eye and stares at the quintuple behind him.
Niffty: *poofs off soot from her body*
Alastor: This little darling is Niffty!
Y/N: Another cyclops? But, she's so... young. I feel bad for her being here in Hell.
Niffty: *drops to floor, unaffected* Hi, I'm Niffty! It's nice to meet you! It's been a while since I've made new friends! *eyes the five* Why're you all women? *lifts Charlie with no effort* Are there any men here?! *puts Charlie down* I'm sorry, that's rude. *looks around* Oooh, man! This place is filthy! It really needs a lady's touch! *grabs spider & crushes it* Which is weird because you're all ladies, no offense.
She then notices Y/N and gasped.
Niffty: A male! You... look kinda cute, actually.
Y/N: Apparently, I'm getting that a lot.
Niffty: Hey, Al, is this the same human you told us all about?
Charlie: Huh?
Y/N: *eyes widen*
Alastor: Oh? I must've neglected to tell you lot. My apologies. You, my friends, are in the presence of the first human who managed to fight back against an army of Exorcists and not only did he walk away unscathed, he also managed to kill one.
Everyone, excluding Alastor and Niffty, looked at Y/N in surprise.
Vaggie: You did what?!
Y/N: I-I only did it because someone was in danger, so I stepped in to save them. Besides, I only did it in self-defense. That's... *sighs* Okay, so I'm not as pure as I thought.
Vaggie: No, not that, N/N! You killed an Exorcist? How?
Y/N: I used their weapons against them. Someone said they can't be killed or defeated, but I did just that.
Charlie: ... At least you did it to protect someone. But, did you had a choice?
Y/N: No. I wish I did, but the Exorcists weren't in the mood to talk. Hell, I don't even know if they can even talk. All they did was scream.
Charlie: ...
Y/N: I'm sorry, Charlie. I didn't have a choice.
Charlie: It's alright, I understand.
Y/N: ...
Niffty: *takes out a feather duster* Oh, my gosh! This is awful! *speed cleans throughout hotel* Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! *spots a cockroach and stabs it with a sewing pin* Nope!
The five stare at Niffty as a voice coming from an unknown cat demon can be heard nearby.
Husk: *lays cards down table* Hah! Read 'em and weep, boys! Full Ho-
Demonic illusions and voices distort the surroundings temporarily.
Husk: -tel? What the fuck is this? *looks at Alastor* You!
Alastor: Ah, Husker, my good friend! Glad you could make it!
Husk: Don't you "Husker" me, you son of a bitch! I was about to win the whole damn pot!
The jackpot disappears into nothingness.
Alastor: Good to see you too!
Husk: *facepalms angrily* What the hell do you want with me this time...?
Alastor: My friend, I am doing some charity work so I took it upon myself to volunteer your services! I hope that's okay!
Husk: Are you shittin' me?!
Alastor: Hmm... No, I don't think so!
Y/N: *snickers*
Husk: *shoves Alastor off* You thought it'd be some kind of big fucking riot just to pull me out of nowhere?! You think I'm some kind of fucking clown?!
Alastor: *grins as if he's about to laugh* Maybe!
Husk: I ain't doing no fucking charity job.
Alastor: *teleports behind him* Well, I figured you would be the perfect face to man the front desk of this fine establishment! *gestures towards the bar* With your charming smile and welcoming energy, this job was made for you! Don't worry, my friend. *walks over to the bar* I can make this more welcoming! ... If you wish. *makes a bottle of "Cheap Booze" appear out of nowhere*
Husk: *stares at booze for a second* What? You think you can buy me with a wink and some cheap booze?! *grabs booze and looks at it* ... Well, you can! *drinks booze & notices Y/N* A human? In Hell?
Alastor: Go easy in him, Husker. He's the one I was talking about.
Husk: *spits out booze* Are you fucking serious?! THAT'S the guy that fought the Exorcists and survived?!
Alastor: He may not look like much, but looks can be deceiving, my friend. Besides, he's got a good soul. *walks away*
Husk: ... If that's the case, how the fuck did he end up in Hell? *drinks booze*
Y/N: I ask myself the same thing...
Vaggie: Hey, hey! Hey, hey, hey! No! No bar, no alcohol! This is supposed to be a place that discourages sin! Not some kind of mouth...brothel... man cave!
Angel Dust: *launches himself at Vaggie* SHUT UP! SHUT! UP! We are keeping this!
He starts flirting with Husk.
Angel Dust: Hey...
Husk: Go fuck yourself.
Angel Dust: *holds Husk's face* Only if you watch me!
Y/N: Yuck! Could this get any grosser?
Vaggie: Don't jinx it, N/N...
Charlie: Oh, my gosh! Welcome to The Happy Hotel! You are going to love it here! *tries to go for a handshake*
Husk: *reaches for his booze* I lost the ability to love years ago. *continues to down his booze*
Y/N: Explains the sour expression...
Alastor: So, whaddaya think?
Charlie: This is amazing! *rubs her cheeks excitedly*
Vaggie: *with crossed arms* It's... okay.
Y/N: I can roll with it.
Alastor: *reels the three towards him* Hahaha! This is going to be very entertaining!
He then lets go of Vaggie and summons a fireball, launching it to the hotel ceiling just so he could distract Charlie fast enough for him to shove Vaggie offscreen. He dresses himself in a tux and matching top hat.
Alastor (Singing): 🎵You have a dream🎵
He twirls Charlie and dresses her up
Alastor (Singing): 🎵You wish to tell🎵
He turns to Vaggie who's now on the floor.
Alastor (Singing): 🎵And it's just laughable🎵
He turns back to Charlie and tosses her mid-air.
Alastor (Singing): 🎵But, hey, kid, what the hell?🎵
The background behind Charlie changes to neon colored lights featuring two apples and a skull. Alastor catches Charlie by the hand as they both tap dance together.
Alastor (Singing): 🎵Cause you're one-of-a-kind
A charming demon belle🎵
The two slide down the railing of the stairs.
Alastor: Now, let's give these burning fools a place to dwell!
He dresses up the rest of the hotel staff.
Alastor: Take it, boys!
Shadow demons appear from the floorboards and begin playing their instruments as Vaggie tries to talk to Charlie who is having too much fun. Alastor pulls her in with him and the others as his shadow demons surround them.
Shadow Demons: Boo!
Alastor (Singing): 🎵Haha
Inside of every demon is a lost cause🎵
He puts a fedora on Angel's head as he snaps his fingers back at Alastor.
Alastor (Singing): 🎵But we'll dress 'em up for now, with just a smile🎵
Shadow Demons (Singing): 🎵With a smile🎵
Alastor (Singing): 🎵And we'll chlorinate this cesspool with some old redemption flair🎵
He kicks off skull which Niffty rushes in and cleans off.
Alastor (Singing): 🎵And show these simpletons some proper class and style🎵
He summons a shadow clone of himself.
Shadow Demons (Singing): 🎵Class and style🎵
Alastor snaps away his shadow
Alastor (Singing): 🎵Oh
Here below the ground🎵
He pinches Charlie's cheeks.
Alastor (Singing): 🎵I'm sure your plan is sound🎵
He holds hands with Charlie as they both twirl.
Alastor (Singing): 🎵They'll spend a little time, down at this Hazbin Ho-🎵
The hotel door explodes, knocking Niffty offscreen as Charlie, Alastor, Angel Dust, and Vaggie look outside.
Y/N: What the hell?
Sir Pentious's war ship has made an appearance outside the hotel.
Sir Pentious: Hah!
Y/N: Oh, great. Not him, again.
Sir Pentious: Well, well, well. Look who it is harboring the striped freak! We meet yet again, Alastor!
Alastor: Do I know you?
Sir Pentious: Oh, yes, you do! *Hood flares open* And you! *points at Y/N* I've got a bone to pick with you!
Y/N: Looks like someone's a bit of a sore loser. Your egg bois are pretty impressive, Mr. Pentious. What, did they come from your egg sack? Wait... Do you even have a dick, given the fact that you don't wear pants?
Sir Pentious: Grr!
Y/N: I sincerely hope you didn't come all this way to get your snake ass kicked, again! You're not going to become King of Hell if you can't defeat two simple demons and a simple human.
Sir Pentious: This time, things will be different! And this time, I have the element of... *pulls a lever* SURPRISE!!! Ahaha! I'm so evil!
Soon, a giant cannon was seen aiming at the gang. With a snap of a finger, an otherworldly dimensional portal opens with tentacles and shadow demons emerging from it, destroying Sir Pentious' ship while he is inside. Alastor can then be seen finishing it off as he clenches his fist with a few drops of blood dripping off his hand. Alastor is then shown grinning menacingly in satisfaction for a moment as the others look at him in shock and horror.
Alastor: *breaking the tension* ... Well, I'm starved! Who wants some Jambalaya? My mother once showed me a wonderful recipe for Jambalaya. In fact, it nearly killed her! Hahaha! You could say the kick was right out of Hell! Ohoho, I'm on a roll! Yes, sir! This is the start of some real changes down here! The game is set! Now...
As he and the others walked away, Alastor uses his magic for the last time in the episode to change the sign atop the hotel from "Happy Hotel" to "Hazbin Hotel".
