After her friends visit, Starla insisted Charlie and the others to keep a secret about her labyrinth. If anyone finds out she can recreate earth food items, it would lead her to be a target. Not only that, they should never reveal about Starla being a Soul Rebel so they agreed to it. 

One day at the hotel, Starla woke up from her bed as she gets some clothes in the closet, with a help from her magic. Although, she was still wearing her black hoodie jacket and her pants once more. She grabbed her glasses before putting it on her face as she stared at the mirror, checking herself.

"Another chaotic day." Starla said with a sigh.

She left the room and began to walk through the hallway when she noticed Vaggie leaning on the doorway.

"Vaggie? What are you...?" Starla started when Vaggie put a finger, gesturing her to be quiet.

 Curious of what Vaggie was doing, She peaked through the door to see Charlie reading some kind of book.

"Once upon a time, there was a glowing city protected by golden gates known as Heaven. It was ruled by beings of pure light. Angels that worshipped good and shielded all from evil. Lucifer was one of these angels. He was a dreamer with fantastical ideas for all of creation. But he was seen as a troublemaker by the elders of Heaven. For they felt his way of thinking was dangerous to the order of their world. So he watched as the angels began to expand the universe in their ways. From the dust of Earth, they created Adam and Lilith." Charlie narrated.

Starla blinked, 'Lilith? I thought Eve was the first woman. Was it different from what I heard back on Earth?'

"Equals as the first of mankind, but despite this, Adam demanded control and Lilith refused to submit to his will. She fled the garden. Drawn in by her fierce independence, Lucifer found her and the two rebellious dreamers fell deeply in love."

Starla was stunned. 'Wow, I didn't expect Adam to be a jerk but who would have two dreamers would fall in love.'

"Together, they wished to share the magic of free will with humanity, offering the fruit of knowledge to Adam's new bride, Eve, who gladly accepted. But this gift came with a curse. For with this single act of disobedience, evil finally found its way into Earth. With it, a new realm of darkness and sin. And the order Heaven had worked to maintain was shattered. As punishment for their reckless act, Heaven cast Lucifer and his love into the dark pit he had created, never allowing him to see the good that came from humanity, only the cruel and the wicked. Ashamed, Lucifer lost his will to dream."

Starla had a sad expression when she felt so familiar. 'Weird, Why does it feel like I'm compare to him?'

"But Lilith thrived, empowering demon-kind with her voice and her songs. And as the numbers of Hell grew, so did its power. Threatened by this, Heaven made a truly heartless decision. That every year, they would send down an army, an extermination to ensure Hell and its sinners could never rise against them. But Lilith's hope remained. And her dream was passed down to their precious daughter, the Princess of Hell."

Closing the book, Charlie held the key to the hotel in her hand. "Don't worry, Mom. I'll make you proud."

Charlie soberly looks out the window to Pentagram City burning to the ground. Starla felt kind of pity for Charlie about trying to save Hell through her Redemption idea but no would take her seriously of her dream. She hoped someday her wish will came true.

Soon enough, Vaggie and Starla comes into the room. "Charlie?

The key Charlie is holding transforms into KeeKee who scampers away.

As Charlie lets out a yelp, "Aah! Oh, sh**t. Did you hear all that?"

"Uh, yeah. We were right there." Vaggie said, pointing her thumb to the doorway.

"We didn't mean to eavesdrop by the way." Starla said, rubbing her neck sheepishly.

"No no it's okay. I get pre-tty worked up after an extermination happens. The story helps..." Charlie said and looks at the book.

Vaggie chuckles. "Don't worry. I enjoy your theatrics. Are you okay?" Then sits down with Charlie.

"I'm fine. Just... thinking, ya' know? Family stuff," Charlie says.

"What is your mom like?" Starla questioned.

"My mom...the queen...She's graceful, regal, and very sophisticated. She's also good with kids."

"Wow, I bet if my mom was here, those two will get along."

"I'm sure she does."

Then Vaggie asked, "Did you hear from your mom?"

Charlie shakes her head in dismay.

"Oof..." Vaggie responds, "How long has it been now?"

"Not that long, only...7 years."

"Wait....7 years? Huh, that was before I first arrive here in Hell and yet she's been gone for long ever since you two talk." Starla said disbelief.

"It's fine. It's fine...As the queen, she's probably doing something important." Then, Charlie looks out the window, "But, this kingdom was something she really cared about. Something I care about."

"Well, at least you're not alone," Vaggie said, with a reassuring smile.

"We'll right by your side to support you. Just continue your dream and you'll make it someday."

 "I guess so. I just hope that what I'm trying to do here will work," Charlie said.

"It will. I have faith in you," Vaggie said.

"You mean we have faith in you. After all, you did promise to help me redeem." Starla smiled.

Kee Kee leaps into Charlie's arms as Vaggie stands up.

"Alright, come on. Alastor says he has something to show us." Vaggie said and walks out the room.

"Alastor? Did you ask him something?" Starla questioned.

"Oh yeah I ask Alastor to make a TV commercial to advertise our hotel." Charlie said.

Starla turned to her with a surprised look, "Alastor? Doing Tv commercial?"

"Don't worry he's free to add anything to advertisement."

"Why can't you just broadcast the advertisement through Radios? I'm sure people are bound to hear it."

"Well, It would be better if anyone sees this, which would be simple enough. It's no big deal."

 "It's not that um.....Don't you think it was a good idea to let him do the TV commercial since he's....Y'know a Radio Demon and I don't think he doesn't do well with Television."

"Oh I'm sure whatever Alastor made is going to be great." 

"I hope not. I have a really bad feeling that he'll do something stupid." Starla said worriedly as she heads to the door.

As she leaves, a loud bell rings throughout the city, and Charlie turns to the Bell Tower at Heaven Embassy. She looks on with sadness, knowing that it's another year before the Extermination comes again.

Commercial...

The scene turns static before it fixes itself to reveal a sinner stabbing another demon to death with a knife before Alastor caught their attention.

Alastor: Well, hello there, you wayward Sinner! Do you like blood, violence, and depravity of a sexual nature? Of course you do, that's why you're in Hell!

As the camera rolls, scenes switches from the front of the Hazbin Hotel, to Charlie on camera and she waves at it before Angel Dust comes into view, putting two-fingers over the head prank behind her, to the bartender, Husk, who was clearly drunk, passing out on the ground as Niffty, the hotel maid, tries to stab and chase after a bug, and then to Angel Dust, with a support beam falling close to KeeKee, scaring the demon cat before it leaps towards Starla, who manages to grab her and Angel Dust flipping Alastor off, and then the poor drawing of the hotel before the commercial ends.

Alastor: But what would you say if I told you there was a place to stay that had none of that? Welcome to the Hazbin Hotel, a misguided path to redemption1 Founded five days ago by Lucifer's delusional daughter, Charlotte Morningstar! Come place your fate in her inexperienced hands, as she tries to work through her daddy issues by fixing you! Here we offer fun things, such as somewhat functional staff and 24-hour pest control. Custom rooms, and just look at this tacky parlor! Enjoy riveting conversation with our singular resident. Wow! All this, and more at the Hazbin Hotel! Your last desperate attempt at salvation starts here!

Commercial Ends...

Alastor turns off the television, and then asks, "So, what do you think?

On the couch, Charlie, Starla and Vaggie were surprised by the commercial being poorly misleading and very offensive to their nature. 

'I knew it.' Starla sighs, faceplamed

 "I'm sorry. What the fuck was that?" Vaggie demanded, didn't like she sees.

"Uh, Yeah. One note," Charlie said.

Alastor gave the three a stern smile, striking fear into their hearts.

"Alastor, I mean, first off, thank you so much for making this seriously amazing, but um, maybe the tone is a bit off. We want people to want to come here. This makes it look, um..."

"Bad. The word you're looking for is bad," Vaggie answered which Starla nodded in agreement.

"Funny. I was going for hilarious!" Alastor grinned, tilting his head back.

"Uh Alastor, It may be hilarious to you but it didn't explain anything about how the hotel is trying to save demons from Extermination." Starla said nervously.

"Starla's right, which is whole f**** point," Vaggie points out.

"The girls are right Alastor, the commercial was to let sinners know we are trying to help them," Charlie said.

"Well, my dear, I haven't been active in hell for some time and everyone remembers me from my radio show, the proper medium to express oneself," Alastor explained as he walks to one side of the room. 

Then walks back to the television and taps on it twice with his microphone staff and stated, "But, you insisted on this noisy picture box advertisement. So, I had a little fun with it."

"Of course he did." Starla muttered, looking away

"Oh, fun? You had a little fun with it?" Vaggie angrily said and stands up, "Well, this is not what we want to represent us. When you showed up here a week ago, you told us you would help run this hotel. Instead, you're mocking us. Nobody's gonna wanna come to a place that a powerful overlord like you thinks is a waste of time," 

As she sits back down. Just then, Angel Dust raises his hand from the couch, catching everyone's attention.

"What?" Vaggie questions with a deep frown.

"If'n you're filming a commercial, can I suggest you take better advantage of the talented celebrity you have right here?" Angel says as he takes a bottle with one arm before pointing all three arms at himself.

And Vaggie doesn't like it.

"Um Angel, you're a porn star," Starla pointed out.

"A famous porn star," Angel corrected. "I'll have the horniest sinners knocking these walls down to get in."

Starla shiver in disgust which Vaggie didn't like the suggestion. 

"We are not filming a porn as a commercial."

"Why not? Sex sells, doesn't it?" Angel replied

"I swear if you film me going at it with Mr. Fancy Talk Creepy Voice here, you'd be rolling in participants willing to stay at this tacky hotel," Angel added as Alastor appears right beside the couch next to Angel Dust.

Alastor soon laughs with amusement, "Ha ha. Never going to happen."

Angel Dust turned to Starla

"Maybe with a cute kitty here, we could—"

"Oh No no no bad idea. No way." Starla said. 

"Why not, Star? Aren't you a pop star yourself? Everyone will be thrilled to see you." Angel Dust said.

"True. But this face isn't meant for television, I rather broadcast my song then show myself in public and beside have you forgotten the fact I look human despite my cat feature. They'll freak to see me like this and plus....you all promised not to tell anyone that I'm one of the Soul Rebel band, remember?" 

Angel Dust shrugs his shoulders in response.

Charlie said, feeling uneasy, "Angel, I appreciate you wanting to use your special skills to, um, attract folks to the hotel, but I really don't want to exploit you in that way," 

"Oh, please, baby. This body was made to be exploited," Angel Dust said

Charlie chuckles nervously as Starla turned away, covering her ears to prevent from hearing it. Suddenly, Charlie's phone rings, so she picks it up and goes to a corner to answer it as Angel was still talking endlessly about his body. With a sigh of relief, Starla uncovers her ears and sees that he has finally finished talking.

"Hey, I have a question. If freaky face over there is so powerful, then why can't he just make people stay here?, " Angel Dust said, turning to Alastor

"Oh, trust me," Alastor smiles before smiling in a mischievously creepy look with dark magic, "-I can."

"Why do you think I'm here?"

The group turns to see Husk at the bar.

"You actually think I'd be cleaning bottles and listening to you morons and moan all the time if he wasn't forcing me?" Husk said, cleaning a bottle. (A/N Yes, I made a mistake on that but it was on purpose. Still Hate curse words)

Soon, Niffty pops up from behind the counter with a hand raised, "I like being forced."

"Keep that to yourself, Nif," Husk says.

"What? You don't love being here with me, Whiskers?" Angel Dust asked with a gushing sound.

Husk said angrily, "Call me Whiskers again and I'll jam that bottle down your throat."

"Kinky. Come on, keep talking dirty," Angel Dust teases.

Starla shuddered, "Ew...."

Vaggie sighed, "Angel. Let Husk do his job and stop making Starla uncomfortable. And, no, we can't force sinners to stay here. They need to choose to."

I'm choosing to be here and I think it's all stupid," Angel says, "We're in hell, toots. That's kind of the end of the road, ain't it?"

Then Vaggie says, "Well, Maybe it doesn't have to be. Just because nobody has made it out before doesn't mean it's not possible."

Angel then places his hand on Vaggie's shoulder, giving her a deadpan expression, "Hey, whatever means I can keep crashing here rent-free. Crack is expensive."

"Well, I chose to stay here because you and Charlie promised me to help me." Starla said nicely which made Vaggie smile a little.

Back in the hall, Charlie continues to talking to someone on the phone and she seems excited for some reason."Yeah, I can totally, yeah. I'll head over there right away. Okay?"

Charlie then hangs up the phone and gasps in excitement, "Yes...YES!" she then giggles in excitement.

She then calls out in gibberish, "Vaggie! Holy, sh****!" waving very frantically.

That startled Vaggie, "Ah! What?"

Charlie waves her to come to her, mumbling excitedly, "Get over here!"

Vaggie sighs happily and comes to Charlie while she is jumping around in a very happy mode.

Vaggie walked over and asked, "What's going on?"

Charlie breathes in and out to calm her nerves so she can explain.

Once calm, Charlie explains fastly, "My dad just called, he said that the leader of the Angel Army wants to meet. He asked if I could go instead." and grabs Vaggie to get her close.

Vaggie however, is very confused, "But-but, the extermination just happened. What could they want this soon after-"

But Charlie was in the mood to get her hotel project to work, and remains hopeful that she starts singing.

https://youtu.be/yHSb52fEL9k

Reaching her destination, the Heaven Embassy with the watchtower, Charlie opens the door to peek inside.

Charlie called out, "Hello!" And her voice echoes across the room as she enters through the doors to find the whole embassy is deserted.

She walks down the room as she calls out, "Hello?" and her voice echoes across the room.

Charlie said to herself, "Creepy..." deeply disturbed.

She soon comes to the front desk with no one but a single bell. She taps the bell to ring it, and at an instant, a gold scroll and feather ink pen floats from above over to her.

"Oh, okay..." Charlie said and signs in, "Also creepy."

The scroll and feather flies up before disappearing.

Right then, the twin doors slide open to show Charlie the meeting room, and she enters inside the dark room with no one around.

Charlie called out, "Uh...hello? Is anyone here?"

The lights suddenly switched on, revealing two angels at the end of the room.

The first angel, Adam, has a humanoid appearance, his face appears similar to other Exorcists, however, with normal-looking eyes and golden facial expressions. His head also holds a pair of horns similar to an exorcist, albeit longer, smoother, and with a golden ornamental attachment on the tips. He also has a pair of large and golden wings on his back. In contrast to other angels that have appeared thus far, His halo is bright gold in appearance. He wears a smooth white and golden cloak that appears to have a large 'A' symbol emblazoned on the front. His visible hands are black in appearance, as well as having golden tip spikes on the back of his collar.

The second angel, Lute, looks like an Exorcist. The only visual differences appear to be that her halo and right pupil are black with a white glow instead of white, and she has bloodstains on her dress.

And Adam is eating a rib in his hand as he says, "'Sup!"

"Holy, sh***!" Charlie yelps in surprise and immediately falls down.

She then gets back up and readjusts herself.

Then she introduces herself properly, "Hi, I'm Charlie. My dad asked me if I could meet you."

"Yeah, I know," Adam said, and eats his rib like a buzzsaw.

"Okay, well, It's nice to meet you." Charlie said, a bit skeptical. 

"Totally. It's nice to meet you, too," Adam said and reaches over for a handshake.

Charlie is about to reach out for a handshake, and her hand slips right though, revealing him to be a hologram, fizzing on and off after being touched, which freaks Charlie out..

Adam begins laughing, "Ha! I f***** got you," Then turns to Lute, "Did you see that?"

Lute nods once.

"Ha. Good sh***," Adam laughed.

Charlie was trying to get something straight about the hologram, "Uh...so, wait. You aren't here?"

"No, you think I'd come down there?"No, I mean, I love the vibe, totally, I love your tunes. Pretty fucking hardcore, don't get me wrong. But! It's such a bummer! man. Everything down there's just so "eugh", ya know? Ew." Adam said, ending with a chuckle.

"Right. So, I'm happy we've got this opportunity to meet. There's a project that I've been working on that I really want to talk to you about-" Charlie explained.

But Adam puts his finger on Charlie's lips to quiet her down for a moment, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, slow down. We've got time. How about we get to know each other a little. Mmm. How about lunch? You hungry? I got you." and takes a plate of rib he's been eating towards Charlie, "Here's my personal favorite. You'll love it."

"Uh...thanks," Charlie said, and reaches her hand for a piece of rib.

But soon enough, her hand past right through them, also revealing to be a hologram, as they fizzed on and off from the touch.

Adam ends up laughing and shouted, "I got you again, b***! Buckin' hilarious!" (A/N Again, I did that on pupose)

Charlie makes a small unamused chuckle alongside Adam's hyper laughter. Honestly, Charlie thinks it's going to be a long meeting with an angel of his personality.

Back in the hotel

Everyone are summoned by Vaggie to have an important discussion. Angel Dust is constantly looking at Husk with a seductive gaze while Husk is glaring daggers at him. Starla was petting KeeKee on her lap.

Vaggie walks in front of them and announced, "Okay, so, Charlie is dealing with something very important, so while she's gone, we are making a new commercial. One that represents her vision and what we're doing here. So, we need a camera. Alastor?"

She directed her attention to the Radio Demon.

With the snap of his fingers, Alastor conjures up a camera for Vaggie. However, the camera is actually a folding-type old camera from the 1930s with no recording films at that time.

"A video camera?" Vaggie said, unamused.

Starla said, snapping her finger, "Uh Here, Vaggie." conjuring a video camera in her hand.

"Thanks, Starla. Alright! Let's do this!" Vaggie said, ready to get started.

Soon, they begin their scene at the bar. Husk is behind the counter with a script in his claws like Angel dust is at the opposite counter. Vaggie is holding the camera and whirrs back to get a better focus on the two while Starla stood beside her.

Vaggie said, giving the signal, "And...Action!"

Husk then carefully reads the line, "Welcome to the Hazbin Hotel. Can I help with anything?" as he brings the script up close to him.

Angel Dust said, "I've been a bad boy, and I need a big, strong daddy to put me in my place...on the path to redemption!"

Husk groans with displeasure and reads the script again, "Well, you come—"

But Angel moans and said, "Oh, yes!"

"-To the right place," Husk says, annoyed.

Starla covered her eyes, avoid seeing the scene, much to Vaggie's annoyance.

 Vaggie said, "Cut!"

Starla uncovers her eyes, sighing in relief.

She stops recording and said, "Okay, Angel, I need you to be less horny if possible, and Husk, can you maybe not have a script in front of your face."

"I ain't no actor! I can't memorize this s****!" Husk said angrily 

"Well, we could improve this shit, baby cakes," Angel says as he gets closer to Husk's face, "Rrawwr," and purrs seductively.

Husk gets irritated by Angel Dust and shoves him out of the counter painfully hard.

"Whoops," Husk said sarcastically then grabs a bottle and drinks it

"Husk, come on," Vaggie says, annoyed.

Starla sheepishly said, "Maybe we should go to the next scene."

"Fine," Vaggie says with a groan.

Meanwhile....

Charlie is still at her meeting with Adam, but she is bored, propping herself on her elbows as she listens to Adam exaggeratingly boasting himself.

He explains, "So, I was playin' this gig, and for some fuckin' reason, this virtue chick was diggin' on the drummer, and it's like, "do you know who I am? I'm freakin' Adam. I'm the original dick" pointing to his clothing down the table, "All dick descend from me. You think you want drummer dick?" 

Lute shaking her head as Adam continues, "No way! I'm the freakin' master!" And then eats a mouthful of ribs sloppily, "So, anyway, then we f*****, and it was awesome. What'd you do this weekend?"

Hearing his name, Charlie asks, "Wait, your name is Adam? Like the first man Adam, that means you...Oh...."

Charlie soon pieces together, realizing this is probably the reason why her mother left him. She winces and says in a low tone, "That explains so much."

"I know. I freakin' rock," Adman said and holds a rock pose.

Charlie brushes off the awkwardness from Adam and gets to her subject of matter in hand.

Charlie said, "Well, Adam, sir. Mr. Adam, sir."

"Call me, Dickmaster," 

"Adam," Charlie said bluntly 

Then continues, "You seem like a smart," She soon pauses, "Well, stand up guy."

"Uh-huh," Adam said, picking his teeth.

Charlie continues, "And I know you are the leader of the angels. And you are a big thinker, a revolutionary. A— A genius!"

"I mean, your words, babe," Adam says.

"Who would really love to put his name on something," Charlie says.

"Freakin love putting my name on s***! The Best!" Adam says, getting excited.

Then Charlie said, "It's a solution to our biggest problem!"

"Oh, Herpes. Yeah, that's a b***," Adam guesses.

But Charlie clarified, "No! Our... other biggest problem."

But Adam continues guessing, "Oh...uh..ugly people? Math? Global Warming? Nah, wait, that's Earth's problem."

Charlie stared at Adam with deadpan annoyance at how ignorant he is.

"Ummm..." Adam continues, thinking.

Back in the Hazbin Hotel...

Niffty tries to stab a bug, "Stab! Stab! Stab!" but misses, and starts stabbing the bug multiple times. Then Vaggie kneels down to stop her, "Alright Niffty, Niffty. Niffty!" And finally able to stop her.

 Vaggie said, catching Niffty's attention, "Your line is 'We have the cleanest rooms', okay?"

"Got it. I'm ready," Nifty said happily 

Vaggie holds out the camera and said, "Action!"

Upon saying action, instead of saying the line, Niffty freezes and stares blankly at the camera without a breath or blinking from the scene. Angel and Starla also peers in. Close up on Niffty making a blank stare with an ominous shrinking pupil. Angel and Starla slowly backs away, already creeped out.

"Uhh, cut," Vaggie says, and stops the recording.

Soon, Niffty snaps out of it and backs to her cheerful self.

Niffty happily giggles, "How was that?"

"Well, Niffty you actually have to say the line, so let's roll again," Vaggie says.

"Ok!" Niffty happily said.

"Action!" Vasggie said, and starts recording.

Then turns on the recording. Niffty freezes again, leaving Vaggie irritated and Starla's worry.

"You think she's camera shy?" Starla asked.

"I have no idea," Vaggie replied

Just then, Angel comes close to Vaggie's face with a smug look. "You're doing great, Vagina."

Vaggie said, "Cut! Alright, uhh maybe we can try to fix it in post."

"Do you even know what that means?" Angel questioned

"I'll figure it out!" Vaggie angrily said as she stormily left the room, leaving only Nifty, Angel Dust and Starla.

"So....Um, I should make lunch." Starla said, feeling awkward.

In the kitchen, Starla was seen stir-frying vegetables in a steady and relax pace. "Nothing with a little food can cheer her up. I just hope Charlie and Vaggie are alright." 

She finished frying as she did a taste test, letting out a hum of approval. She was about to turn around until she saw Alastor in front of her. She let out startled noise, making her throw a plate of food into the air.

Panicked, She tried to catch it which end up in Alastor's hand, saving the food. 

"Oh my gosh, You scared me, Alastor." Starla said, relieved to see it was saved.

"My apologies, Starla. I was curious what you've been doing since you are not with Vagatha." Alastor smirked, placing it on the table.

"Well, I'm about to make lunch while Vaggie is trying to figure out how to fix the video. I think." Starla said, with a shrug lastly.

"So it would seem. I do enjoy watching her fail spectacularly has been such entertainment!" He sighed contentedly, shutting his eyes as he moved to stand beside her.

 "Sure you do." She rolled her eyes as she went down to the fridge. "As much as I like Vaggie, it's going to be difficult to make this place sound like the next hot spot when it comes to most sinners in hell. " Starla mumbled, pulling out broccoli  and chicken wings. 

"What are you going to make us today my dear?"

"I was planning to make Honey Garlic Chicken over rice with broccoli." Starla stated when she noticed his smile became slightly, as if he was disgusted.

"Might I suggest something not as sweet." Alastor suggested.

Starla stared at him confusedly before she asked, "Your not a fan of sweet, are you?"

"No, no, no." he laughed, moving around to pull out different spices from the cabinet.

 "Okay that's fine, hmm..." She snapped her finger which made a floating cookbook appeared as she looked through the pages until she found what she was looking for.  "How about Lemon garlic chicken? Not too sweet."

He leans towards her, closed to her personal space as he said, "Sounds wonderful."

Starla's ear drooped nervously as she slowly moved away and start preparing it. Later, Starla poked around the lobby until she found Angel Dust, Husk and Nifty.

"Hey guys, I made lunch, want some?" Starla questioned

"Oooh yes." Angel moans hopping off the barstool and walking quickly towards the dining hall. 

"I could eat." Husk shrugs his shoulders.

 "Ooooh what is it?" Nifty yelled rushing past Angel and Husk. She couldn't help but smiled at them as she present the food on the table.

"I made Lemon garlic chicken with broccoli and stir-fry vegetables." 

Angel scoffed, "What's with you and this healthy crap."

 Starla squinted her eyes at him as she retorted, "Because you need vegetables in your diet. I may have made great food but that doesn't mean I don't know anything about balanced diet."

 "Besides, I think you'll like it." Starla shrugged bumping shoulders with the spider demon. "I bet you're a great of a chef, don't you?" 

"Oh I know I am." 

Starla shake her head in amusement. Husk was first to sit down at the large table that Charlie made them all eat at. Apparently, it was supposed to help them all bond together. She did recall most of the time it was just Charlie and Vaggie talking to each other, or more Charlie talking to Vaggie.

 "I'll go get Vaggie and let her know lunch is ready." Starla said.

"Nonsense my dear, allow me." He said, snapping his finger

 Much to her surprise, Alastor placed the startled catgirl in her seat as he walked away. Husk, Angel, and Starla watch the dapper man disappear from view. 

"Okay is it just me or is Smiles, like acting weird around Star?" Angel Dust questioned.

 "You think so?" Starla said confusedly

 "Duh. The mans always around you whenever you wandered around in the lobby. I think the man might like you." Angel Dust stated.

"That's impossible....Why would Alastor like me?"

"Don't tell me you don't think you're hot? After we saw your hidden face" 

 "Please.... I doubt he cares about looks. Maybe he's just being a gentleman. that's all." Starla shrugged while cutting her food. "You've been with him for a while, is he like this normally?"

Husk snorted, rolling his eyes, shoving a green veggie in his mouth. "I'm not his f**** keeper. I don't watch his every f**** move." He snapped glaring at the two of them. "That freak acts differently to everyone. He does what he wants and doesn't care."

"I see." Starla said. She did recall the time since they accepted her as a guest in the hotel. She often sense his presence despite his aura was dangerous or the time she saw his shadow spying on her through the dark corners which she was able to evade it, through the magic door.

Once they finished their food, She was about to clear the plates and wash them in the kitchen. Next thing she knew, They were all teleported at the parlor where Vaggie and Alastor were. She saw Angel Dust, Nifty and Husk changed into their 30s outfit.

Starla then saw her outfit changed into a grace red sateen dress with black long gloves and white heel shoes. "Vaggie? Alastor?" Starla questioned.

"Alright everyone, let's make a freakin' commercial," Vaggie says as her clothes changed.

"Wait! WHat?! Oh no no no I don't think I should be part of this act. Beside, I don't like being seen." Starla said, looking nervous.

Vaggie pleaded, "Starla, Please.....We needed more people. And I don't want Charlie's effort to be wasted. Just do it for her."

Starla stared at her pleaded look then at the others before let out a defeated sigh. "Alright, Fine. But I only get to keep my glasses on, got it?"

Back in the meeting....

Charlie looking exasperated with another of Adam's sexist rants of women and his masculinity.

"When you take her out for the fifth time and she still expects you to pay the check but you're like, 'Hey, I thought you wanted equality.'"

Having her patients run thin, Charlie angrily said, "NO! Our shared problem of overpopulation in Hell!"

"Ohh, well that's not a problem! We got that covered!" Adam said and turns to Lute, "Lute, how many demons did you kill this year?"

"Got a good 275 this year, sir," Lute answered.

"275? Woah! Badass! Awesome job, danger tits! Pound it," Adam says, impressed.

He then raises a fist for Lute to make a fist-bump, which she did.

"Uh no, not awesome. Those are my people, you know that right?" Charlie interjects.

"Oh yeah. That must suck for you!" Adam said and bursts into laughter.

Then Charlie said, "But these are souls...Humans souls just the same as the ones you have up in heaven."

Lute said coldly, "They're not the same. They had their chance and they earned damnation."

"You're wrong. Sinners made mistakes, sure, but everyone makes mistakes," Charlie said, trying to convince.

But then Lute corrected, "Angels don't make mistakes."

"You really think that? " Charlie questions.

"I know that," Lute said

Adam added, "Yeah, I've never made a mistake in my freakin' life."

"Well, There was one who don't belong here, She's...." Charlie was about to talk about Starla but  Lute came around the table as the scene turns slightly darker with ominous red.

Lute said, "The only reason you're still here is because daddy gave you and your hellborn kind a pardon from an exorcist blade. How does that feel, to know how little you matter?"

Before Charlie tries to get to Adam, the door closes while he continues to do a guitar solo shredding. Defeated, Charlie slams a fist on the door before the scene cuts to black.

Charlie sadly returns to the hotel in total defeat.

As soon as Charlie stepped inside, Vaggie had rushed to her girlfriend throwing her arms around the girl excitedly. "Charlie! How'd it go? Did they listen?" Vaggie asked holding her shoulders excitement radiating off her small body.

Oh, they sure did hear it But-" Charlie begins to explain, not sure on how to tell her about what happened. 

But Vaggie says, excitedly, "Oh come here, we have something exciting to show you, and leads Charlie to the group.

"Alastor pulled some strings and it's about to air," Vaggie says.

"I pulled a few limbs too, hahaha," Alastor says with laughter.

"Wait, the commercial? You all made a new one?" Charlie asks, surprised.

"Yeah, one of my better performances if I do say so myself," Angel says.

"Charlie beams brightly, "That's... that's amazing."

"Yeah. Alastor and Vaggie really took charge of it. They're able to work together to get the commercial done. Alastor was also able to get me into the commercial, I didn't want to at first but I didn't want to see you disappointment so I decided to join in." Starla said.

Just then, Angel shushes her, "Sshh, it's starting."

Soon, the commercial is airing on the television.

On the TV, Vaggie says, "Welcome to the Hazbin Hotel -"

But the commercial is cut before it fully begins and replaced with a News Report. The group except Alastor and Niffty get annoyed and angrily complain.

Just then Katie Killjoy announces, "Breaking news in Hell today! We have just received word from the Heaven Embassy that the next Extermination is happening sooner than ever before. Do you know what that means, Tom?"

"No, what does that mean, Katie?" Tom Trench questions.

"It means we're all royally fucked!" Katie answers and her eye twitches.

Soon, screaming can be heard from Sinners as the time on the Clock Tower changes from 358 to 176 days till the next Extermination. Meaning that the Extermination will be happening six months from now instead of an entire year. Everyone is shocked and silent from the news.

Angel said in disbelief, "Wait, what? Why?!"

Starla slowly turned to Charlie, "what exactly happened at that meeting, Charlie?"

"Well uh, you see..." Charlie said reluctantly, and decides to tell them the truth.

Later, Somewhere else

An angelic drone flies over the damaged buildings and scans down, finding a headless Exorcist on the ground with golden blood pouring out.

"We found the body sir. They've never managed to kill one of us before. We should just go down there now and destroy them!" Lute reported angrily

"No, no. We can't risk them catching on." Adam said, calming her down. "But don't worry, when we come back, there won't be a demon left alive to pull a stunt like this again!"

Before he can break the light projector, another Exorcist soon came into the room, as she looked to be in a hurry.

"Sir!" She said, "The drone just detected something. It was after the extermination, I think you need to see this."

She pressed a button on the remote causing the video to switch over. It looked to be showing security footage. The camera lens showed what appeared to be objects floating around the vicinity, from the rock debris to the cars and stray glass. At the center of it was what had caught Adam's eye.

Later, as the image clears and reveals traces of golden butterflies, still lingering and scattering around the destructive area.

They were emitting traces of holy light, startled them the most before they just disappeared into speck of golden dust. Adam said, "What the F****?"

"There's more." She plays another video and shows it to him. It showed 3 golden butterflies that was gathered on the sinner's corpse that they exterminated, began to glow brightly until they faded away, as though they were absorbed. Much to their shock, The sinner who was supposed to be dead was brought to life.

"Our sources show that these strange butterflies have some sort of healing ability that brought them to life. It was spotted in a district, showing few of the sinners who were killed were resurrected." The Exorcist reported.

"That's impossible!!! No one is capable of this powerful ability, the only who can do that is God himself." Lute said with a shock.

Adam doesn't seem to listen as he kept staring at the screen. He questioned who would possesses such power. It can't be Lucifer since he can't use his holy power and his brat can't even have that ability either.

Adam turned to Exorcist, "You can go now, we'll take it from here."

The exorcist nodded as she left the room. Lute who had a suspicious look as she spoke, "Sir, That power isn't something a sinner would possesses. What if it was.....?"

"No no Don't even think about it, there's no way it could be the anomaly that SHE was talking about. Do you have any idea how tiring it was to search every building 7 years ago? That's why I had the girls destroy the buildings and I had to keep reporting to HER. "

"But we have to do something! We can't let anyone find out about this!" Lute insisted.

"Oh Lute, Chill!!" Adam sighed. "We'll be back in six months. Chances are, this anomaly could be found then we'll just find that person hiding then kill that threat. Nothing serious.

"But Sir."

"Let me put it this was then: if we do anything now, Sera is going to find out. It was a pain in the ass convincing her to push up Extermination Day by six months. Worse, If that 'Archangel' finds out that I've been slacking off from not following her orders, We'll be in serious trouble. So, Don't do anything that'll put targets on our heads. We just gotta be careful about this so none of the higher ups find out about this. Okay?" Adam warned.

Lute was hesitant for a moment. They should have taken care of this before it got worse. But if they rushed this, they could get caught and caused serious trouble.

Being patient was the way to go.

"Understand, Sir" Lute said.

"That's why you're the top dog. Until then, let's keep this a secret." Adam laughed.

He leaned back in his seat and just looked at video that still replays. As if possible, he was now looking forward to the extermination even more. Until then, he decided he would need to keep Sera or HER from finding out about the discovery.

"Whoever is this anomaly or what it was doing down there in Hell, we'll take care of it and make sure no one gets in our way!"

Then, when the light projector breaks, Adam smashes it, forcing the room to become dark and only his gleaming, menacing grin to remain visible as it goes out.
