HELLBØUND - Another Human Part 1 // S1 Episode 13
After a few days, a silhouette was seen falling down from the sky and it landed in a dumpster. After crawling out of it, it coughed and stood up.
???: I see that life hasn't been treating you very well, my boy. Then again, life is always unfair to people like you.
The figure turned and looked to the shadows to see Alastor walking to him with a smile that sent chills down his spine.
???: ...
Alastor: Ah, come now, my boy. Is that anyway to say hi to your friendly neighbors?
???: I don't think anyone ever told you that phrase "don't talk to strangers", so nope. Bye.
Alastor: Even if this stranger is willing to offer you a chance?
???: If, by chance, you mean trap, then I'm out. Besides, what are you hoping to gain from it?
Alastor: I want someone... dead. Well, at least, someone dealt with.
???: I knew it! Nothing comes for free in life.
Alastor: Oh, believe me, my boy. You'll want to hear this because what I have to say should concern you. Especially since Lucifer is about to be... Mm... dethroned.
???: ... You said what, now?
Alastor: I'm sure you're aware of Heaven and Hell, right? Well, they exist. And unfortunately, the realms hang in the balance. Especially with this... individual. If he succeeds, the life you see before you will... cease to exist. I'm aware you're not a fan of Hell, but would it interest you if you were to help the devil and save the realms?
???: ... Okay, freak show, but I still don't understand what that has to do with me. I'm just some guy.
Alastor: Some guy who's forced to live an unfair life given to him by God. No home, no friends, no... family. It sucks... Doesn't it?
???: ... I don't blame God in the same way that many would in these moments. I trust Him. Besides, this doesn't answer my question.
Alastor: Well, to be frank... I see potential in you. And I hate it when potential like yours is forced to go to waste. Why waste your life on such complicated things... when you can use them for your personal gains? Think about it! What if you were given power? Power that nobody, not even God or Lucifer, will be able to measure? Or better yet, if you were given a chance to relive your life with friends and family, would you be interested? *chuckles* I can tell by the look in your eyes. You're curious, aren't you?
???: Maybe, but not enough to do it without thinking. So, we'll do the following. Give me more information and teach me about this power and maybe I'll help you. It's take it or leave it.
Alastor: Hehehehehe. Very well, then. There's someone in this existence that can rival the power of Lucifer Morningstar. And if we're unfortunate, he'll take out the King and steal the throne of Hell.
???: Huh. And how bad is that?
Alastor: Not even I can tell, but let's just say that this will upset the balance between life and death. Good and evil. Heaven and Hell. Put simply, the world you live in will cease to exist.
???: And you just need me to kill or defeat that guy?
Alastor: Exactly. Oh, but a fair warning. He has friends of his own. He even has Lucifer's daughter, the Princess of Hell, at his disposal.
???: The Devil has a daughter? ... The real problem is how am I supposed to do all this if I'm still alive?
Alastor: Hehehehehe. Oh, you're quite dead. Your body has... not grown accustomed on the environment around you. Which means... You're just like him.
The silhouette walked out of the shadows, revealing another human.
???: I'm listening...
Alastor: I'll try to be quick. This man that you're after has friends. He has the Princess of Hell with him and he has a hellhound girlfriend. I want you to spare the princess's life, but eliminate anybody associated with this man. Is that clear?
???: ... If I shake your hand, I doubt my soul won't be stuck with you, so I'm going to do it in a very different way, asshole. You need me, so no handshakes or deals. Otherwise, you lose your only chance against your current problem. Tick tock. Time is passing.
Alastor: Hehehehehe. My boy, I'm only offering you a deal. The power you wield is not something unfamiliar. It will be needed when you confront the man. Oh, and I don't care if you have to partner up with anybody. As long as you get the job done. And if you succeed, I'll give you... anything your heart desires. Anything you want. So... Do we have a deal?
???: ... I'll go for your soul if I regret this! *shakes his hand*
Alastor (Demonic): Hehehehehe. I am a man of my word, my boy. Now, allow me to give you a heads-up on the man you're about to face.
He then summoned a magical mirror and showed him Y/N.
Alastor: The man you seek is Y/N L/N and he's a human with demonic power like you. He is known to be the most powerful human alive. His power has toppled some of the Overlords in Hell and is on the verge of surpassing the Seven Deadly Sins. If that happens, he'll catch up to Lucifer.
He looked at Y/N, but as he did, the human couldn't feel any negative vibes from him, but he chose to keep quiet about it and asked him another question.
???: What exactly is the deal with Hell? It looks like New York after the civil war.
Alastor: Unimportant, right now. What's important is that he resides in the Happy Hotel, a rehabilitation center that is ment to redeem damned souls and bring them to Heaven.
???: Okay, I bet 50 bucks that this idea didn't work.
Alastor: Well, I hate to disappoint, but it already has a few candidates.
???: Meh. Whatever. So, that's all or do you have anything else to say?
Alastor: The Happy Hotel is run by Charlotte Morningstar, the Princess of Hell and Lucifer's daughter. However, she's partnered up with Y/N and together, they're slowly, but steadily redeeming sinners. If this keeps up, Hell won't have anymore damned souls to populate. Then, it wouldn't be much of a kingdom for Lucifer if there are no people around. And we can't have that. So, I want you to eradicate Y/N. He's the key to achieving redemption for all sinners. And don't let his carefree attitude fool you. He holds deadly power and is capable of using power to his imagination. So, don't let your guard down and don't hold back or you will regret it. However, you will not stop at just Y/N. His friends will be there to support him and help him. Especially his hellhound girlfriend, Loona Lovelorn.
He then showed a picture of Loona.
???: ... What do I gain from all this?
Alastor: Name your price.
???: Don't worry, I'll be very creative, but for now, I'll look for a place to sleep and plan. Because I can't just attack without a plan.
Alastor: If that's the case, be careful. Y/N and Loona are a deadly combo. If anything happens to one of them, the other will know and get angry to the point they'll target you. How you choose to handle this is up to you, but there's no room for fooling around. Understand? If anything, it'll be like you're challenging the King and Queen of Hell themselves.
???: Yeah, yeah. I already heard all the yada yada. Now, bye. *walks away*
Alastor: Just a moment. Do you... have a name?
???: ... BF/N (Best Friend/Name). *walks away*
Alastor: Hehehehehe. All according to plan, my lord.
Meanwhile, at the Happy Hotel, Y/N and Loona were seen sleeping together in bed after the events of yesterday. Y/N was the first to wake up and stretched as he yawned. After rubbing his eyes, he looked to his right to see Loona still sleeping. Y/N smiled as he stared at Loona.
Y/N: *thinking* Even when she's sleeping, she's so beautiful, but she looks so peaceful and comfortable when she sleeps.
He rests his hand on Loona's forehead and rubbed her, gently. However, this caused Loona to moan and slowly wake up.
Loona: *tiredly smiles* You're gonna do that every morning, are you?
Y/N: I can't help it, Loonie. You deserve a lot of attention. You may be a hellhound that functions as a human, but you still have some vulnerabilities like a canine.
Loona: *smirks* Then, don't just sit there. Go ahead and explore those vulnerabilities.
Y/N: You sure? But, we have work, today.
Loona: Who cares about that? Blitzø will understand. Now, come on, N/N. I don't mind.
Y/N: Okay.
Y/N lied back down and Loona cuddled up to Y/N's body as Y/N wrapped his arm around her.
Loona: Your body's so hot... I feel like I could fall back asleep.
Y/N: And your fur is irresistible and soft.
He then began to scratch her behind her ears and she moaned in pleasure. Y/N could feel Loona's tail wag and when he saw it, he was surprised at first, but he smiled that Loona was enjoying his attention. Soon, he moved in to under her snout, then her back, and then her butt as he squeezed her butt cheeks and massaged them. Loona was panting heavily like a canine while she was moaning and whimpering happily and her tail was swiftly wagging out of her control in happiness and excitement due to the scratching all over her. After a while, he then massaged her breasts and gripped them and she moaned. Things were beginning to heat up into another mating session until Loona's phone went off with a message and Loona groaned.
Loona: Fucking asshole...
She grabbed her phone and looked to see Blitzø texting her, tell her to wake Y/N up and get ready for work.
Loona: *growls* Stupid Da- Blitzø!
Y/N: Y'know, Loonie, one of these days, you're gonna fully commit to calling Blitzø your dad.
Loona: Once he's sorted out a few things, he'll get it. *sighs* Fucking goddamnit! Just as we were about to go for another round of sex.
Y/N: Well, if it makes you feel better, why don't we take this to the bathroom at IMP?
Loona: *blushes* R-Really?
Y/N: Yeah. You said that we can do this wherever and whenever. Plus, didn't you say something about being turned on by getting caught?
Loona: *blushing, moaning* Careful, N/N. I'm already getting worked up, just thinking about it.
Y/N: I can tell. Your pussy's getting wet, again.
Loona: *blushing, smirks* And your dick is getting big and fat. Think your pants can contain this beast?
Y/N: *smirks* You tell me since it can penetrate through your pussy defenses.
They both laughed a little and then, they kissed. It was about to get heated, but they stopped. After they got up from bed and got their daily clothes on, they left the room and went to the kitchen.
Charlie: Morning, you two. How'd you sleep?
Y/N: Pretty good.
Loona: Me, too.
Charlie: Good to hear. ... Hey, N/N, I gotta ask you something that's been bothering me for a while. You won't mind if me and Vaggie go with you to check your job out?
Y/N: Wait, really? You sure?
Charlie: Yeah. I'm curious to check out your job in action. I mean, you... kill bad people, right?
Y/N: "Kill" is a strong word for me, but yes. In a way.
Loona: There was that one time where a certain someone fucked up and we almost got killed. If it weren't for a certain hero.
She looked at Y/N and smirked, meaning she was talking about him, which Charlie and Vaggie responded by looking at him in surprise and Y/N with a blush on his face, looking flattered, as he scratched the back of his head.
Loona: And luckily for me, he's my boyfriend. And my future husband.
Charlie: *gasps* You're gonna get married?!
Y/N: What? No. I mean, not yet. We still need time to think things through and... come to an understanding.
Loona: *raises eyebrow at Y/N* ... What?
Charlie: You sure? You two seem... like you have everything sorted out.
Y/N: ... Okay, I'm not ready to get married, okay?
Charlie: *scoffs* Not ready?
Y/N: Well, if that's how you feel about marriage, why don't you marry Vaggie, huh?
Charlie: ...
Vaggie: ...
Y/N: That's what I thought. Besides, I don't have a ring ready for marriage.
Charlie: Then, why not head out and buy one for her? I'm sure that there are stores out there that will benefit a ring you're looking for.
Y/N: Because I don't have the money. Plus, I don't see a store that's willing to sell some fine jewelry. You know how people are these days. Now, please, can we just drop the marriage stuff and get ready for work?
Vaggie then got done whispering after a while and Charlie nodded.
Charlie: Yes. Yes, we can.
Y/N: Thank you.
Loona: ...
After a while, Y/N and Loona were outside with Vaggie and Charlie as they got to the I.M.P. van, but Blitzø wasn't in there.
Y/N: Huh? Where's Blitzø? He's supposed to be out here.
Loona: *sighs* Yet, he was pressuring us to get out the door. The next time I see him, I'm smacking him in the back of the head for ruining our time alone together!
Y/N: Loona...
Loona: *sighs* Sorry, N/N. I love you so much and I... I wanna be able to be with you forever.
Y/N: And you will, Loona. We'll have all the time in the world to be together. And since we're both demons, I think it's safe to say that we'll be able to live longer than an average human.
Loona: ... *smiles softly* You always have a way with words, N/N.
Y/N: As long as I make you happy, I'll do what I can.
Loona: Well, however you're doing it, it's working like a charm. *chuckles* We're so getting married in the future.
Y/N: No complaints here.
They both kissed as they wrapped their arms around each other and Loona's tail was wagging. Charlie could barely contain her excitement as she quietly squealed.
Charlie: Those two are so cute together!
Vaggie: *smiles* Heh. No complaints here.
As they kissed, Blitzø and the others got out of the hotel, fully dressed.
Blitzø: Hey, guys. Sorry we're late. Ow!
Loona: *smacks Blitzø's head* That's for interrupting my alone time with N/N!
Blitzø: Sorry, okay? Anyway, wait, why is the Princess of Hell and her girlfriend here?
Y/N: Oh, they're coming with us to see how the job is done.
Charlie: Yep. And I expect a good performance! ... *stifled laughs* Sorry. I had to.
Y/N: *smiles* You're funny. Shall we get going?
Everyone nodded. With Charlie and Vaggie riding up front with Blitzø, Y/N and Loona sat in the back, but Loona smirked as she stared at Y/N, which he noticed. Before he could say anything, he got tackled onto the seat and they both heavily made out, tongue and everything.
Blitzø: Hey, hey, hey! Cool it, you two! I don't want to have my van covered in your cum!
Loona: *in-between kisses* Oh, don't... worry... Blitzø... Mm... That's... for when we... get to... work...
Blitzø: You're not gonna... *groans* Well, if so, then go do it in the bathroom!
Y/N: *in-between kisses* That's... the plan... boss...
Moxxie: Sir, are you seriously okay with this? Them fucking in our public bathroom is going to cause some problems.
Loona: *pulls away* Oh, sit on a dick, Moxxie. No one cares.
Moxxie: Uh... Y-You know what? Why don't you sit on a dick?! Try and make that comeback!
Loona: *smirks* I already am, fatty.
Y/N: And believe me, she won't just be sitting. Got a problem with that, fatty?
Moxxie growled angrily, but Millie calmed him down as they got in the back while Y/N and Loona went back to kissing each other.
Blitzø: Oy vey...
He started the van and drove away, but as they did, BF/N was seen hiding in the shadows as he watched them. With the others as they arrived at IMP, Charlie and Vaggie looked around as Blitzø gave them a tour and Y/N and Loona followed them as they locked their arms around each other's and smiled, looking at each other. Upon Blitzø giving Charlie and Vaggie the tour, Loona looked at a public bathroom and nudged Y/N a bit. When he took notice, Y/N smirked and they both entered the room, locking the door behind them. After locking the door behind them, Y/N and Loona instantly began to kiss each other, engaging in a very heavily make out session, tongue twirling, saliva mixing, and heated passions getting stronger. They both moaned and panted heavily as they continued and their bodies got warmed to the point, they started sweating. As they continued, they swiftly stripped out of their clothes to the point their fully naked. Back with Blitzø and the others, they entered the lobby.
Blitzø: That's Loonie's desk. She's the receptionist at this place. Through that door is our personalized kitchen. And over there is my office. Basically, we just sit around and wait for a client to call us or walk through the door, requesting payment for someone in the overworld to die under their conditions.
Charlie: Hmm... Well, in a way, this could help benefit the hotel.
Vaggie: How is getting people from the mortal realm killed helping to benefit the hotel?
Charlie: Well, they won't be able to rest in piece if their killers continue to roam the mortal plane, so if these guys get to travel to there and off them, they'll come here and they'll come to us to seek redemption for their crimes.
Vaggie: ... Why does that make sense?
Charlie: Blitzø, how would you and your company like to have a partnership with the Happy Hotel?
Blitzø: A partnership?
Charlie: If you accept the offer, I'll be sure to help people be aware of your company. Pretty soon, more clients will come to you and ask you to kill people and when you finish the job and they get here, we'll have N/N help our clients at the hotel see things through a different point of view. Umm... There's a term for that job. A namesake. What is it?
Vaggie: A therapist?
Charlie: A therapist! Thanks, Vaggie. N/N will be the Happy Hotel's therapist and will help our clients think things through. It's a win-win between us both. So, what do you say?
Blitzø: Hmm... Will I be able to get paid?
Charlie: In any way you wish.
Blitzø: Done deal!
They both then shook hands, bringing forth a newly found partnership.
Vaggie: So, how do you gain access to the mortal realm? Only some royal demons have access to that.
Blitzø: U-Umm...
Meanwhile, BF/N was seen at the Goetia mansion as he entered through the doors. After a while, he got to the main floor and walked ahead.
BF/N: ... *thinking* If what he said is true and this is the prince's chambers, he's around here, somewhere.
(Flashback)
In a dark alley of the Pride Ring, BF/N was seen with a hood over his head as he walked down the alley. However, he heard chuckling and looked around.
BF/N: ...
He continued to look around until behind him, a silhouette of a familiar someone moved ahead as BF/N kept walking. However, he was stopped when a bullet was fired at him, but it was able to purposely miss him, causing him to halt.
???: Howdy, stranger.
BF/N: ...
The view looked behind BF/N and Striker came into view with his evil smirk and his gun in hand.
BF/N: What do you want?
Striker: Can't help but notice you, especially since you have the Radio Demon's scent on you. Struck some kind of deal or sumth'n?
BF/N: Not your damn business, asshole.
Striker: Aww, come on, partner. This how you want to make a first impression?
BF/N: I have important business to attend to. I'm busy planning my move against this Y/N.
Striker: *eyes widen* Oh, so you're looking for that brat, huh? So am I. Say, why don't we work this out?
BF/N: Sorry, but you don't appear to be a man of your word.
Striker: Looks can be deceiving, my boy.
BF/N: *turns around* Are you trying to waste my time? Because if so, then see what happens when you keep it up.
Striker: Easy, pal. I just want to talk.
BF/N: ...
Striker: You say you're looking for N/N, right? Well, I can't say I know where he is, but I can tell you who's well acquainted with him.
BF/N: ... Who is it?
Striker: Oh. So, you are willing to listen.
BF/N: *menacing* You're testing my patience, asshole!
His shadow suddenly multiplied and transformed into monsters in any shape and form.
Striker: *laughs* Okay. That's pretty impressive. With power like this, you can easily masquerade anything in Hell. Okay, okay. I'll talk.
BF/N: ...
(Present Day)
BF/N continued looking around until he approached the library and knocked on the door. However, he was met by Octavia, who looked aggravated and was about to punch BF/N, but he caught her fist with ease.
BF/N: ...
Octavia: *eyes widen* O-Oh! S-Sorry. *pulls hand away* I-I thought you were someone else.
BF/N: *eyes widen slightly* ...
Octavia: *stares at BF/N & blushes slightly, thinking* W-Wow... He looks hot... And he's... a human? How's that fucking possible? I thought Y/N was the only one.
BF/N: I'm looking for Stolas. Have you seen him? I want to talk to him about this Y/N.
Octavia: N/N? Why?
BF/N: Important business.
Octavia: ... M-My dad's not here. He's busy with something else.
BF/N: You're Stolas's daughter?
Octavia: Octavia Goetia. But, N/N calls me Via.
BF/N: Octavia... *smiles softly* Heh. I like that name.
Octavia: T-Thanks. C-Come in. I'll get you something to drink.
BF/N: Thanks, but I'm not thirsty. And I'm under important business, so I must take my leave.
Octavia: Come on! I insist. You must be tired after a little walk. R-Right? Besides, it won't be long until he comes back, so...
BF/N: ... Well, I guess I can go for a little rest.
Octavia: Great! I-I mean, good. This way. Make yourself at home.
BF/N: Thanks.
He stepped inside and looked around as Octavia went to the kitchen to get something to drink for him, but as she did, she grabbed her phone and called someone. Back at I.M.P., as Blitzø explained to Charlie and Vaggie, loud moaning and banging was heard in the bathroom. After a while, Y/N and Loona exited the bathroom with messed up hair and pleasured expressions as they collapsed onto the ground.
Y/N: H-Holy shit, Loonie! You truly are... one of a kind...
Loona: I would've wanted to continue... But, the floor was so hard, I... I was beginning to feel sore.
Y/N: *looks at Loona* Bedroom?
Loona: *looks at Y/N & smirks* Bedroom.
They stayed like that for a while until Y/N's phone went off.
Y/N: Give me a second, Loona. Gotta answer.
Loona: Go ahead. I need a moment...
Y/N got up and walked away. When he got some distance he answered the call.
Y/N: Hello?
Octavia: Y/N, it's me.
Y/N: Via! It's been a while. What's up?
Octavia: Listen, I need some advice. There's this... guy at the mansion. And he... He's very hot.
Y/N: *eyes widen* Via, are you... Are you having a crush on this guy?
Octavia: I-Is that what I'm feeling? Because when I looked at him, my heart felt weightless.
Y/N: Oh. Well, that means that you're in love with him.
Octavia: N/N, I need help! How do I try to get along with him without... Y'know, being so awkward and weird?
Y/N: Via, you already know the answer to that. Just be yourself.
Octavia: But, what if-
Y/N: Hey. There's nothing wrong with being yourself. You gotta show him your true colors and in the end, it's up to you on if you're sure that this is the guy you want to date.
Octavia: Phew... O-Okay. I'll try.
Y/N: Just try your best, Via. Your best is all that matters, no matter what. Call me if things backfire or something.
Octavia: Okay... Thanks, N/N.
Y/N: No problem. See you.
Octavia: Bye. *hangs up*
Y/N: Octavia's in love? Wow. That's... something else. I wonder how Stolas will respond to this.
Back with Octavia, she was seen in the refrigerator, looking for some drinks.
Octavia: Okay, okay. I got this. Just be myself. ... Phew. Okay. I got this.
After grabbing some drinks, she entered the library and handed BF/N his drink.
BF/N: Thanks.
Octavia: ... S-So, why do you want to see N/N? He's not in trouble, is he?
BF/N: Trouble? Why would you ask that?
Octavia: Because N/N's done a lot of good in Hell. He's become a beacon of hope to everyone and they all look up to him. He's very popular. He's known throughout Hell as the Demonic Hero.
BF/N: Demonic Hero? Why?
Octavia: Because N/N is a human that inherited the powers of a demon and became a hero to all.
BF/N: If he's some kind of hero, why hasn't the people up top been talking about him?
Octavia: Because he's only known to all demons. Humans aren't supposed to know that Heaven and Hell exist. They're allowed to believe it or not, but my father told me that if humanity were to have proof of divinity, that's it.
BF/N: Wait, what?
Octavia: Yeah. It's over. Wars will start waging out, destruction will follow from behind, you get the point. Not to mention, humans are a bit... lustful for people like me.
BF/N: Hm?
Octavia: Physical wise. They're attracted to our demonic charms a lot. When they see us, all they care about is wanting to fuck us instead of getting to know us.
BF/N: ... Well... I don't see you that way.
Octavia: You don't? N/N said the same thing to Loona.
BF/N: Via, I don't look at you as if I want to fuck you. If anything, I want to get to know you.
Octavia: ... Are... there people up there that think like you and N/N?
BF/N: ... Umm... Most people, yes. I'm not sure. I've had my fair share of assholes.
Octavia: *eyes widen* Wait, what?
BF/N: Yeah. My parents abandoned me because I was a waste of money. And so, I was forced to starve in the streets like a street rat.
Octavia: You, too?
BF/N: Too?
Octavia: N/N's the same case! Except his died in an accident.
BF/N: *raises eyebrow, thinking* Wait, what? N/N's been through that, too? Alastor never mentioned that.
Octavia: But, despite the fact that he's been suffering and was abused and neglected by everyone since his orphanage days, he was able to hold on to one thing. Hope.
BF/N: Hope?
Octavia: Yes. I don't know how the hell he was able to hold on to hope after so long of pain and suffering, but Y/N is... truly remarkable.
BF/N: *thinking* What the hell is going on, here? This isn't the same Y/N I was told, is it? *normal* That's not what I was told. I was told that he only cared about getting powerful enough to dethrone Lucifer.
Octavia: BF/N, I've seen the look in his eyes. He has no desire or passion to do so. Obviously, whoever told you that was lying.
BF/N: ...
Octavia: *chuckles* To be honest, I- Huh?
When Octavia looked up, BF/N was gone.
Octavia: Huh? *stands up* Where did he...?
She looked around for a moment, but nothing. She sighed as she turned to behind her.
Octavia: I didn't even think to ask for his name. Fuck...
Back at I.M.P...
Vaggie: So, let me get this straight. Prince Stolas gives you the grimoire in return of you two... fucking each other?
Blitzø: Y-Yeah...
Charlie: Gee. He must really like you, huh?
Blitzø: Yeah, he... I guess he does. Doesn't he? ...
Charlie: Blitzø? You good?
Blitzø: Just thinking. *clears throat* Anyway, that about covers it. Except I'm the boss of this place, Moxxie and Millie are my experts in weapons, and Loonie is in charge of the phones. We don't get much calls from people.
Charlie: Hmm... I think I can help with that.
Blitzø: Wait, really?!
Vaggie: Wait, Charlie, are you sure about this?
Charlie: Well, why not? This could help benefit the hotel, in some ways. If you ask me, I'd say that this will be worth it. Trust me.
Vaggie: I trust you, Charlie, but this guy doesn't look so bright. He can literally make a sex joke in a worst case scenario. He doesn't take things seriously.
Blitzø: Hey, I do, too! Especially when it involves my daughter.
Loona: ADOPTED!!!
Charlie: See? We just need to trust him, that's all. I mean, if Y/N trusts him, right?
Vaggie: ... Look, I admit that Y/N has proven himself to be a reliable and trustworthy person, but... *sighs*
Charlie: Vaggie, I get it. I really do. But, I trust N/N with my life. He's never let us down before. In fact, he's done so much for everyone in Hell. He's helped out a lot.
Vaggie: ...
Charlie: Aren't you proud of the progress he's making?
Vaggie: I am, but, Charlie, what about... *whispers* the people in Heaven?
Charlie: What about them? Don't you think they have the right to know?
Vaggie: If word gets out, Y/N will have a target painted on his back! I'm worried that his reputation will get him killed!
Y/N: What's going on here?
Charlie and Vaggie jumped in surprise as Y/N and Loona entered the room.
Charlie: N-Nothing much! Just a little business conversation.
Y/N: ... You sure? I'm certain I heard my name.
Charlie: No, no. I mean, yes. I'm sure. It's okay, Y/N. Just go back to your... time alone with Loona.
Y/N: ... Okay, then. *whispers* Something's definitely up.
Loona: *whispers* Definitely.
They walk away.
Charlie: Phew. That was close. Anyway, Vaggie, I understand your concern towards N/N. And yes, with Extermination Day coming up next month, the angels will surely focus on Y/N because of his reputation, but I'm confident that with his help, the hotel will finally be recognized for its talents! If he believes in my cause, that's enough for me.
Vaggie: But, look at him!
Charlie: *looks at Y/N*
Vaggie: He doesn't seem to understand the power he wields! Based on what Blitzø and the others told us about what happened in the mortal realm, I fear he's gonna become V/N, again!
Charlie: ...
Vaggie: Look, I know that Y/N wants to help us, but he can't fight in a war he doesn't fully understand. Not to mention, he doesn't know how to fight with his powers. He doesn't have full control over them. I fear that he may go into battle, unprepared.
Charlie: Then, we'll help him prepare. We'll find someone to train him to master his powers, but this is his choice, Vaggie. I hate pulling people into things that make them uncomfortable.
Vaggie: But, we'll only be delaying the inevitable. Sometimes, people just need to learn to take the first step, even before their ready. Okay?
Charlie: ...
Vaggie: I don't like doing this either, but... We need Y/N at his best if we want to survive.
Charlie: ... Well, even if that's true, then how are we supposed to help Y/N prepare for the promised time? ... Maybe... Alastor may have an idea. Or maybe Dad...
Vaggie: Charlie, no! We can't let those two get involved! Nothing good can ever come from them!
Charlie: What about-
Suddenly, they heard an explosion go off in the distance and Y/N walked over to the window.
Y/N: Angel, you fucking bastard!
Believing that Angel was up to no good, again, Y/N raced out the door.
Everyone: Y/N!!!
Charlie: Come on. We gotta catch up to him.
Everyone left the building and tried to follow Y/N. Meanwhile, Y/N arrived at the scene and looked around.
Y/N: Come on, where are you? Huh?
He looked down to see a bomb rolling to his feet. Realizing it's lit, he swiftly jumped back away from the explosion, but he crashed into the ground.
Y/N: Ow. Didn't see that coming.
He heard a familiar laugh and looked up to see the blimp.
Y/N: A blast from the past. Literally. Deja vu all over again.
Then, the egg bois jumped from the blimp and pointed their weapons at him as Y/N stood his ground.
Y/N: ... Huh?
Sir Pentious: Y/N! Welcome! Y'know, I was hoping to draw out that pornstar friend of yours and that cyclops, but this'll do, nicely.
Y/N: Pentious...
Sir Pentious: That's SIR Pentious to you, kid! Anyway...
Y/N: What the hell do you want, now, Pentious?
Sir Pentious: Oh? You don't remember? I told you all I want is the throne of Hell, but there are those who are willing to get in my way. And you're one of those people.
Y/N: *thinking* So, it IS me you're after. Why is it bastards like you always want revenge for being put in your place? *normal* Alright, then, Pentious, if you want to settle things that badly, then come on! I'll be more than happy to put you back in your place!
Sir Pentious: *laughs* Highly doubtful. Fire!
They all fired at Y/N and Y/N backflipped away from the bullets until he leaped into the air. He turned demonic and used his F/C aura to help him fly in the air.
Sir Pentious: What the? He can fly, now?!
Y/N flew towards the bois as they kept firing him, but he used his wings to repel the bullets. At one moment, he spreads them open as he closed in on them and landed on the ground. They all fired at Y/N, again, but Y/N moved fast and began to crush them in one hit, causing their yolk guts to explode. As Y/N crushed one, he looked at Pentious for a moment and decided to pull it off.
Y/N (Demon): Pentious! Please, stop this. You don't want to do this.
Sir Pentious: What?
Y/N (Demon): Is dethroning Lucifer and becoming King of Hell really what you want? What good would ruling a kingdom with an iron fist lead you?
Sir Pentious: ...
The eggs fired at him, again, but Y/N jumped into the air. As he did, Loona and the others arrived in the van and looked around for Y/N.
Vaggie: There!
They all looked to see Y/N avoiding the bullets from the eggs.
Charlie: Hey, that's...
Loona: You know him?
Charlie: Yeah, he's the snake that's tangled with Angel and his friend. And apparently, he has a vendetta with Y/N.
Blitzø: Geez.
Y/N continued to dodge the bullets and then, he used his magic to channel it to his hand and fire an energy beam from his hands and aim it at a couple of eggs.
Y/N (Demon): Pentious, please, think about it! Is there something you're trying to prove? Did something happen to you that has caused you to want to steal the throne?
Sir Pentious: Why do you care? It's not your business.
Y/N (Demon): *lands on ground* It may not be my business, but I know that something must've happened to you when you were alive. And I'm asking you to think about it. What could've happened to you to want the throne?
Sir Pentious: *grunts* Who I was in the past doesn't matter, anymore! Once I become the king, we'll see who's the failure here!
Y/N (Demon): *eyes widen, thinking* A failure? Wait a damn second... *normal* So, you think that becoming the King of Hell will make up for your past failures?
Sir Pentious: *raises eyebrows* ...
Y/N (Demon): Are you telling me that being a failure doesn't matter in this world? The fact that our past fails only remind us of how big of a fool we are?
Sir Pentious: ...
Y/N (Demon): Whoever told you that was lying, Pentious! Failure doesn't make you a fool or anything like that!
The eggs continued firing at Y/N, but he tried to use his speed to dodge the bullets.
Y/N (Demon): If you want to succeed, you must learn to stumble and fall every once in a while! Like a baby taking their first steps, they stumble and fall, but you know what they do?
He used his wings to block the bullets and then, used his magic to create a barrier and repelled them.
Y/N (Demon): Like adults, they learn from their mistakes and make things right!
He then bounced the bullets back at the eggs, but the bullets completely missed them as Y/N landed on the ground.
Y/N (Demon): If you're willing to learn from the failures of your past, you must learn where you went wrong, what you did, and make things better! Not worse.
He then walked to Pentious.
Y/N (Demon): The path you walk down is the path of running away.
Sir Pentious: What?
Y/N: You think that becoming the King of Hell will make things right? That some title will make you any better than you were in the past? No, it won't. If anything, all you're doing is running away from your failures. And when you become king, you'll be no better than you were in the past.
Sir Pentious: And how would you know that?
You've never-
Y/N: Known what it was like to fail? Known what it was like to fuck up and fall and be made fun of for it? Known how it feels... to be a failure?
Sir Pentious: ...
Y/N: I know full damn well, Pentious! The fact that you think that you're the only one who knows what failure feels like means that you don't know much, despite all of this you built!
He then stopped in front of Pentious as the eggs readied their weapons.
Y/N: A failure is the kind of person that's willing to learn from their mistakes and succeed, no matter what. Being the king won't change anything, Pentious. Look at yourself! You said that you're an evil genius, but in reality, you're just lying to yourself. In my eyes, you seem to be someone who wants to sho off your talents to everyone. To show everyone who you really are and what you can do, but You're afraid. Afraid of what people may say. Or perhaps... You're afraid of suffering, aren't you?
Charlie: *eyes widen*
Vaggie: ...
Y/N: You're just like me.
Sir Pentious: What? What are you talking about? *hood flares up* We have nothing in common! You're just a fucking brat who has the mind of a child!
Y/N: And yet, I was able to survive for this long, didn't I?
Sir Pentious: ...
Y/N: Pretending to be someone, putting on a mask, that won't change anything. No matter what kind of words you say or use, the fact that underneath your venomous act, you're a brilliant person who wants to be noticed won't change!
Sir Pentious: There's no meaning behind the fact that I want to be noticed. Everyone feared me for my intellect. My brilliance.
Y/N: That's because people are afraid of what they don't understand. They can't understand you because they think you've gone crazy or something. I should know!
Sir Pentious: What?
Y/N: The life I've lived... has been a life full of failure, abuse, and neglect. I've been through the worst kind of Hell ever since I was born. Like me, you tried to do stupid things to get people's attention, right?
Sir Pentious: ...
Y/N: My whole life, I've... I've tried my hardest to be the kind of person that can live in the real world, but no matter what I did, no one was willing to accept me. Nobody wanted to adopt me or notice me. They didn't want anything to do with me! I know what it's like to suffer. Believe me, I do. But, becoming the King of Hell isn't the answer to your problem. If anything, it'll make things worse. Look at yourself, Pentious!
Pentious looked at his hands.
Y/N: The life you lived and died in doesn't have the right to change you. Life has no meaning if you start questioning yourself. Becoming a completely different person just proves that you hate yourself and you're trying to be better than who you were.
Sir Pentious: ... Tch. And what about you? You said that throughout your life, people hated you for who you were, right? So, how can you still have the mind of a child?
Y/N: Because I have hope. Something that people seem to be abandoning.
Sir Pentious: Hope? Don't make me laugh, boy! Hope is nothing but life's big, fat lie! Hope won't help you accomplish anything. All you'll be doing is failing over and over again until people start laughing at you and treat you like shit.
Y/N: Is that really what you think?
Sir Pentious: *eyes widen, looks down* ... Kid, what you're doing is pointless. There's no reason for people like you to walk down such a path that has no end in sight. All you'll do is fail over and over again.
Y/N: ... I'm fine with failing.
Sir Pentious: What?
Y/N: I'm fine with being an idiot. A brat. Whatever. It separates me from being a smart ass like everyone else. Being smart just drags you away from what's important to you. Pentious, there's nothing wrong with being smart, but you must remember that you have people that care about you for who you are. Even if it feels like there's nothing left, you can still hold on to hope that everything will be ok.
Sir Pentious: Or you could come to terms that reality is Hell. Everyone struggles to adapt to it and to do so, they must change! If there was a faster and easier path, everyone would choose it.
Y/N: Is that what you're doing? You think becoming the King of Hell is an easy path? ... You're right. People may take that path, but there are those who are willing to walk down a path that's so dangerous, the reward will be so great you can't comprehend what it feels like. I'm willing to walk down that path and receive its reward, but I'll achieve it in my own way! Even if I end up failing over and over again, it doesn't matter. Because failure isn't the opposite of success.
Sir Pentious: Would you still say the same thing if you end up losing the people you love? You have lots of friends, yet you'll lose them all in the end.
Y/N: ... *looks down* You're right. There is no greater pain than losing the people you love. The fact that they won't be able to be around you physically hurts so much you begin to lose sight of what's important. ... But...
He then turned around and looked at the others.
Y/N: Their beliefs, dreams, and wishes will continue to live on if you're willing to inherit it and combine it with your resolve. Once you do so... There's no greater weapon than entrusting everything to those you care about.
What they didn't realize was that they were being broadcasted across all of Hell. Everyone was touched to hear what Y/N was saying while some laugh at his words.
Y/N: I may fear that one day, I'll never be able to save everyone, but that's just it. Fear's just a state of mind. A false illusion. Something that's pulling you away from the path you're walking down. *turns to Pentious* You can't let the beliefs of bad people linger into your mind and heart. They don't know anything. You won't know for sure about anything unless you're willing to do something about it. The choices you make benefit the future that lies in store for you. Whether it's pain or peace, it's your choice whether to do it or run away.
Sir Pentious: ...
Y/N: There's no such thing as an easy path, no matter who you are! God, an angel, the King of Hell, a demon, a human, whatever the hell you are! You don't have the power to decide people's fates. It's their choice to make. Just like it's your choice to decide for yourself. But, all you're doing, Pentious, is running away. You'll never solve anything if you continue to lie and kill.
Sir Pentious: ...
Charlie: N/N...
Blitzø: Shit, man...
Y/N: Pentious, I'm willing to accept you for who you are. And so are they! But, we can't if you won't let us see your true colors. Sure, people may think you're weird or something, but perhaps, the people that think so... are the ones who need to change! Come with me, Pentious. I can show you another way.
Sir Pentious: ... N-No... You don't know anything... I...
Y/N (Demon): STOP LYING TO YOURSELF, PENTIOUS!!!
Everyone flinched and backed away from Y/N's sudden outburst.
Y/N: Stop trying to hide yourself! You are who you are! You're you! There's nothing wrong with being yourself! You can't let people's judgement or your past mistakes define who you are. It's all up to you on how you want this to go.
Sir Pentious: *holds hand over left eye & grunts* Wh-What are you?! How can you... How can a guy filled with hope ever come to understand how it feels to... to... *shakes head*
Y/N: You already know the answer to that, don't you? So, why are you having a hard time accepting it? What is it that's blocking you from the truth?
Sir Pentious: I... I don't... I don't know!
Y/N: That's because... there is no truth. I am who I am. It doesn't matter about winning or losing. What matters is how you want to live your life and afterlife, no matter how painful it feels. What matters is who you want to become. Now, tell me the truth! Who are you, really? Are you a someone that's going to be the King of Hell? Or are you... a nobody that wants to make a difference to the world?
Pentious was seen struggling as he fell to the ground, but he got back up and glared at Y/N. With a powerful shout, he ran to Y/N and tried to hit him, but Y/N didn't flinch as Pentious purposely missed him and as he fell to the ground, Y/N was able to catch him.
Y/N: ... Don't betray what's really important to you... what's still in there, deep in your heart, Pentious. Whatever's connected to the lies that you or the people are telling you... isn't the you that's wanting to be free.
Sir Pentious: ... Who... Who are you?
Y/N: It should be obvious, right? I'm...
Suddenly, he heard footsteps rapidly approach Y/N and when he turned to a dark alley, he quickly threw Pentious away safely and tried to block an upcoming punch, but it blew him towards a wall.
Charlie: Y/N!
Through the dust, Y/N coughed as he tried to stand up. When he got back up, he looked ahead to see BF/N glaring at him.
Y/N: What the...? Who are you?
BF/N: ... *removes cowl* The one who will put an end to your deceitful acts and lies, you so-called "Demonic Hero".
Everyone stared in shock, including Y/N, to see another human standing before them.
TO BE CONTINUED...
