Chapter 5

Sometime later, the limo arrives at the hotel as it comes to a stop.

Charlie is the first to climb out, followed by Vaggie. Angel Dust then climbs out of the limo. Zelda is the last to climb out with her backpack in her arms.

Charlie announces, "Here we are, Zelda. Welcome to the Happy Hotel."

Zelda looks and is astonished to see the hotel.

The Happy Hotel is tall, elaborate amalgamation of arched windows and turrets, one of which seems to be broken. It appears to be at least seven stories tall, with at least five of which being guest floors. Remnants of an airship, an ocean liner, a sailing ship and a carousel litter both sides and appear to have been incorporated into the structure of the building itself; there is also a train with some tracks looping the first and second floor exterior. Located on the top right of the building is a small radio broadcasting room.

The entrance has a tented cover with a booth in the center reminiscent of a circus or theater ticket booth. On either side of the booth are a set of double doors that have stained glass, and they depicted an apple on each one.

"Wow. The hotel is really big, but it's definitely an interesting structure," Zelda says.

"I know, it looks rather rundown, but we did our best to keep it in good condition," Charlie says. "Now come on, let's get you inside and help get you settled, and to help with that ankle of yours."

Vaggie opens the hotel room, allowing everyone to walk inside.

The hotel's interior is shown to be in a state of disrepair, with wooden boards covering shattered windows, signs warning of asbestos, bloodied tools left lying around, and paintings are shown hanging off the walls. Much of the furniture in the lobby are strewn around haphazardly or remain boxed up in several large wooden crates. Despite the shabby and poor condition of the hotel, the overall theme of the building remains ornate and regal, with stained glass windows, lavish furniture, and generous usage of gold. Like the rest of Hell, the hotel has a largely red color scheme. There are many apple, snake and circus motifs throughout the hotel's interior, Eyes are also a recurring theme throughout the building, appearing on the frame of almost every single painting and several vases and jars.

Zelda looks around to see the hotel and its condition. She soon notices one of the portraits, which is a family portrait of Charlie and possibly with her mother and father. But the father is what catches her attention. Besides the strange appearance, this man, who Zelda assumes is Charlie's father, looks alot like her dad.

Vaggie groans and sits down on the couch. Charlie lets out a sigh, knowing that this day hasn't gone very well.

Charlie turns to Vaggie, "Vaggie, can you get the first aid kit while I get the keys for Zelda's room."

"Okay Charlie," Vaggie says.

Vaggie then gets off the couch and leaves to get the first aid kit. Zelda then sits on the couch and places her backpack down. Kai comes out of the backpack and slithers himself on the couch and makes himself comfortable.

Angel Dust walks to the fridge and opens it to take a box of posies. There isn't too much food in the fridge, but there's at least a few popsie.

Angel begins to eat one of them, "It's probably a good idea to get some actual food in this place. Y'know, to feed all the wayward souls ya got in here."

He laughs, but becomes nervous to see Charlie having a frown on her face as she walks to the front desk. He shrugs and walks away to sit down next to Zelda.

He presents the popsie, "Here kid, it's not much, but it should help you cool off."

"Thanks Angel. I actually haven't eaten since I got here so I could have something right now," Zelda says, taking the popsie and begins licking it.

Vaggie walks out with the first aid kit.

Charlie walks back with the keys, "Here we go. I think this room will be a good choice for you," and gives them to Zelda.

"You all didn't have to do that," Zelda says.

"It's no trouble at all, Zelda," Charlie says, "We're glad to help you."

"Thank you," Zelda says.

Vaggie then sits next to Zelda and says, "Alright Zelda, let's see what we can do with this graze."

"Okay," Zelda says.

"This may sting, but it will make sure it doesn't get infected," Vaggie says.

Charlie then shows a sad smile on her face as Vaggie treats Zelda's wound. Charlie sadly turns to the door and decides to head outside. She then walks outside and closes the door. Once outside, Charlie takes out her phone and presses the button that has the word 'Mom' on it. Sadly, she hears the voice mail tone.

Charlie says, "Hey Mom. Um, I know I keep calling, and you must be busy. Really busy. But um, the interview didn't go well and..." She then sits down, "I don't know if I'm going to make a difference." She rubs her eyes, "I don't know what I'm doing. I could really use some advice, Mom." She then sadly says, "I think Dad was right about me." Charlie then stands up, "A-anyway, I'll stop talking before this gets long. Love you! Bye." She then presses the button on the phone and hangs up. She then walks inside the hotel and closes the door. She leans her head back and shuts her eyes in sadness.

Zelda, who is licking on her popsicle as she gains medical attention from Vaggie has watched Charlie come out for a little but, and walks back in with sadness on her face. Soon, Vaggie has patched Zelda's wound with a bandage wrap.

"There, that should do it," Vaggie says.

"Thanks Vaggie," Zelda says.

Zelda then looks at Charlie once more. She is sad and decides to walk over.

Zelda sits down next to Charlie, "Are you okay?"

"Not really..." Charlie sadly says, "I really want this hotel to work, but after what happened with the interview, I'm not sure if I'm going to be making a difference," and wipes the tears from her eyes, "I sometimes don't know what I'm doing, and people usually think of me as a failure. Maybe my... my dad is right about me..."

"But Charlie, you shouldn't give up," Zelda says.

That catches Charlie by surprise.

"If you believe in what you're doing, and work hard on this project, it might be able to work," Zelda says, "Whether or not, I believe that demons have a chance to change their ways, Everyone have the right to change, but if you want to go with the Redemption project then you need to be the one to show them that it's possible to not only get to Heaven, but to be able to change. It may take some time, but if you work on it, it could work. Plus, I think it's a great idea, so it's worth a try."

Charlie smiles and says, "Thanks Zelda, I really appreciate it. And I promise, I'll do whatever it takes to help you get back home, and to learn about and control your powers."

"Thanks Charlie," Zelda says.

And then the two girls give each other a hug.

Then Angel speaks out, "By the way kid, how did you get those powers anyway? I mean, you look like a normal human girl since we met. And then suddenly, you practically became a demon for everyone in Hell to see."

"Hmm..." Zelda thinks, then says, "To be honest, what happened was still a bit fuzzy. What I remember is that I thought I was going to get blown up. But the next thing I knew, I ended up with wings and I was protected by the blast. That's all I can remember."

"Hmm, that does seem strange. But I'm sure we can figure something out," Charlie says.

Suddenly, the group hears a knock on the door. They hear the knock coming from the door as they wonder who it could be.

The group continues to stare at the door as they hear someone knocking on it.

"Who could that be?" Zelda asks.

"I'm not sure," Charlie says. Then turns to the others, "You guys wait here, I'll answer the door."

"Alright," Zelda says.

Charlie walks to the door as she isn't sure to answer because Zelda, a human, is in the hotel. However, this could be a potential demon who wants to try the project. She then grabs the knob and opens the door. The one who is at the door is the same red dressed man that Zelda bumped to earlier holding the microphone in his hand. He then opens to reveal his glowing red eyes. Charlie is shocked, more like terrified to see who's at the door.

The demon says sounding like a radio, "Hell-"

But Charlie slams the door on him, showing a concern on her face. Worrying about who is at the door, Charlie opens to see he's still at the door.

The demon continues, "-lo."

And Charlie slams the door again.

Charlie quickly turns his head, "Hey Vaggie?"

"What?" Vaggie asks, annoyed with her hand on her head.

"The Radio Demon is at the door!" Charlie nervously answers, imitating the demon's big smile.

Vaggie exclaims in shock, "What?!"

"Uh, who?" Angel asks, taking out the treat from his mouth.

"The Radio what now?" Zelda questions.

"What should I do?" Charlie asks, scared as she pulls down her face.

Vaggie answers, knowing the answer is obvious, "Well, don't let him in!"

Charlie turns to the door in concern, and figures that Vaggie does have a point. Instead, she tries to put up courage and opens the door, and the demon is still at the door.

The demon asks, "May I speak now?"

"You may-" Charlie calmly answers with her arms crossed.

Before she can finish, The demon holds out his hand introducing himself, "Alastor, pleasure to be meeting you, sweetheart." He then grabs Charlie's wrist and comes up at her face, "Quite a pleasure." Then he lets himself into the hotel, "Excuse my sudden visit, but I saw your fiasco on a picture show and I just couldn't resist. What a performance!"

Zelda simply stares at the demon and hears some strange static and laughter.

"Why, I haven't been that entertained since the stock market crash of 1929!" Alastro says, and starts laughing.

"So many orphans," Alastor says, walking down the hall.

Suddenly, Vaggie points her harpoon at Alastor's face with a deadly glare, "Stop right there!" Then mutters in Spanish, "Cabrón hijo de perra!" (You bastard son of a bitch!)

"I know your game. And I'm not gonna let you hurt anyone here, you pompous, cheesy talk show shitlord!" Vaggie viciously adds.

"Dear, if I wanted to hurt anyone here..." Alastor says, slightly laughing and moves Vaggie's harpoon away from his face. He then opens his eyes to reveal a creepy expression on his face as he says in a static dark look, "I would have done so already."

Strange symbols appear around the Radio Demon as strange static sounds appear. Charlie and Vaggie are now frozen in fear.

Alastor then shakes his head going back to his normal expression, and says, "No, I'm here because I want to help!" as he leans to the girls.

Confused, Charlie asks, "Say what now?"

"Help!" Alastor says, getting close to the girls' faces. Then leans back holding his microphone, "Hello? Is this thing on? Testing, testing..." and taps on his microphone.

Suddenly, an eye appears on the microphone and answers, "Well I heard you loud and clear!"

"Um, you want to help with...?" Charlie asks, confused.

Suddenly Alastor stands between the girls.

"This ridiculous thing you're trying to do! This hotel! I want to help you run it," Alastor says.

"But... why?" Charlie asks.

Alastor laughs and answers, "Why does anyone do anything? Sheer, absolute boredom! I've lacked inspiration for decades!"

Charlie looks a bit dumbfounded at the Radio Demon.

The Radio demon then uses Vaggie's head to rest his arm on it, "My work became mundane, lacking focus. "Aimless!" And shoves Vaggie away, "I've come to crave a new form of entertainment! Ha ha ha!" and laughs with a flare.

Charlie asks, "So does getting into a fist fight with a reporter count as entertainment?" and sheepishly shrugs her shoulders.

"Ha ha ha... 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," Alastor says.

Charlie asks with a hopeful smile, "So, does this mean that you think it's possible to rehabilitate a demon?"

However, Alastor laughs and says, "Of course not. That's wacky nonsense!"

That cause Charlie to deflate.

"Redemption, oh the non-existent humanity! Nononono, I don't think there's anything left that could save such loathsome sinners!" Alastor says as he turns to Vaggie, Zelda, and Angel.

Vaggie feels offended while Angel shrugs his shoulders and Zelda looks confused.

"The chance given was the life they lived before; the punishment is this!" Alastor proclaims. "There is no undoing what is done!"

Just then, Charlie walks over and asks, "So then, why do you want to help me if you don't believe in my cause?"

Alastor turns to Charlie with a smile and his eyes slightly glow.

Then answers, "Consider it an investment in ongoing entertainment for myself!"

He then grabs Charlie's arm and twirls her around, "I want to watch the scum of the world struggle to climb up the hill of betterment!"

Charlie stops spinning and gives Alastor a stern stare.

"Only to repeatedly trip and tumble down to the fiery pit of failure," The Radio demon darkly says in the last sentence.

Charlie looks at Alastor with a disturbed expression, "Riiiiiiight," and removes his hand from her shoulder.

"Yes indeedy! I see big things coming your way, and who better to help than I..." Alastor then walks off with Charlie.

Zelda, Angel, and Vaggie watch as Alastor talks to Charlie. Angel and Zelda are curious about this guy, while Vaggie has a frown.

Soon, Angel asks, "Ah, so uh, what's the deal with Smiles over there?" pointing his thumb to the demon in question.

Vaggie looks at him with disbelief, "Wait, you've never heard of him before? You've been here longer than me!"

Angel shrugs his shoulders.

"The Radio Demon, one of the most powerful beings Hell has ever seen?" Vaggie adds.

"Eh, not big on politics," Angel says, crossing his arms.

Vaggie groans with an annoyed expression.

"Really? He's that powerful, but he seemed like a gentleman when I first talked to him," Zelda says.

That catches Vaggie off guard, "Wait, you've talked to him? When?"

"Well, to be honest, it wasn't that long after I landed here. I kind of bumped into him and he helped up. He seems like a gentleman, but I can't help but sense something... dangerous about him," Zelda says.

"Dangerous is one of the many ways to describe Alastor and well..." Vaggie says, sounding concern. She lets out a sigh and says, "I don't want to scare you, but you have the right to know, especially when you just interacted with him."

"What's so scary about him anyway?" Angel asks.

Vaggie groan in frustration.

"Um Vaggie, maybe it's best for you to explain," Zelda says.

"Alright," Vaggie says.

She soon explains, "Decades ago, Alastor manifested in Hell. Seemingly overnight, he began to topple overlords who had 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. (As lazy as that is.) 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."

Zelda is shocked to hear it. She never expected that this Alastor is this dangerous whens he first encountered him. She nervously gulps in response.

Suddenly Angel interrupts her thoughts, "Ya done?" He laughs, and says, "He looks like a strawberry pimp!"

The group looks at Charlie still talking to Alastor. Alastor then makes his microphone cane appear.

"Well, I don't trust him!" Vaggie says, crossing her arms.

"To be fair, do you trust any man? Any men?" Angel questions. He slightly laughs, "Men?"

Zelda sighs and rolls her eyes, "Oh brother."

Vaggie leaves the chair and walks over to Charlie.

"Charlie, listen to me," Vaggie says, and has Charlie standing in front of her with her hands on her shoulders. "You can't believe this creep! He isn't just a happy face!" Vaggie says, turning her head to Alastor and Charlie does the same.

Alastor simply looks around the hotel.

"He's a dealmaker, pure evil! He can't be redeemed! And is most likely looking for a way to destroy everything we're trying to do," Vaggie says.

"I- we don't know that- look. I know he's bad, and I know he probably doesn't wanna change," Charlie says. She turns her head to see Alastor looking at her family's portrait, "But the whole point of this is to give people a chance! 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." She then places her hands on Vaggie's shoulders, "Just trust me. I can take care of myself."

"Charlie, whatever you do, do not make a deal with him," Vaggie says as she and Charlie turn to the demon, "Also, we need to keep Zelda distant from him."

"What do you mean?" Charlie asks, confused.

"I just found out from Zelda that she actually bumped into Alastor when she first came here and even talked to him. And I wouldn't be surprised if Alastor has seen Zelda and her abilities on the news. And even now, I can sense Zelda still has a human soul within her. We need to protect Zelda from not just him, but any demon who might have ill intentions towards her, especially after what happened during the interview," Vaggie says.

"Don't worry, we'll make sure Zelda stays safe, and I'll be sure nothing bad happens to her. Besides, I picked up one thing from my dad," Charlie says. Then imitates her father as she walks towards the Radio Demon, "Ya don't take shit from other demons!"

Vaggie simply stares in concern.

Charlie says to him, "Okay, so... Al. You're sketchy as fuck, and you clearly see what I'm trying to do here is a joke."

Then has her back facing him, unknown that his eyes are glowing and symbols are appearing. When Charlie turns her eyes to him, they disappear.

"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 tricks or voodoo strings attached," Charlie says.

"So it's a deal then?" Alastor asks, twirling his microphone and holds his hand out.

Suddenly, a strange green energy circle surrounds them and releases a strange magic. That cause Zelda, Vaggie, Angel Dust to shield themselves from the light. Charlie looks down in shock, weary about it.

She then swats his hand away saying, "Nope! No shaking! No deals! I- hmm..."

She then walks away with her hand wrapped around her arm.

She then turns to him and says, "As the princess of Hell, and heir to the throne, I uh, hereby order that you help with this hotel, for as long as you desire."

Then shows a smile on her face. Then her eyes turn to Vaggie. Vaggie is still worried about what Charlie is getting herself into with the demon in question.

Charlie asks, facing him, "Sound fair?"

"Hmm... fair enough, "Alastor says. He makes his microphone disappear and walks away.

"Cool beans," Charlie says in relief, holding her thumbs up.

Alastor walks by while humming. Angel Dust walks somewhere else as Vaggie stands up. Zelda is the only one remaining sitting down.

He then turns to Vaggie with a grin.

He places his red claw under her chin and says, "Smile, my dear!"

That causes Vaggie to steam in rage.

"You know you're never fully dressed without one!" Alastor says.

He then walks away humming a tune as Vaggie narrows her eyes at him.

He walks to Charlie and asks, "So where is your hotel staff?"

"Uh, well..." Charlie says, places her hands together.

She has them pointing to Vaggie who is actually the only employee.

Alastor adjusts his monocle and says, "Oh ho ho ho, you're going to need more than that." and walks away.

Alastor walks to Angel Dust, and asks, "And what can you do, my effeminate fellow?"

"I can suck your dick!" Angel answers without hesitating.

A radio screech.

"Ha! No," Alastor answers, and walks off.

Angel slightly laughs, "Your loss."

"Seriously Angel, why would you ask him that?" Zelda asks, dumbfounded.

"You can't blame a guy for asking," Angel says.

Zelda sighs as she shakes her head, "Oh good grief."

Suddenly, Alastor approaches her, "Well well, it's a pleasure to meet you again, my dear. Zelda, correct?"

Zelda turns her head and looks up to see Alastor.

"Um yes, it surely was unexpected to bump into you again, Mister Alastor," Zelda says.

"Oh, no need to be formal my dear. Alastor, if you please," Alastor says.

"Um okay," Zelda replies.

"Of course, I'm actually hoping to see you again. I must admit, I surely didn't expect you to pull off a magnificent feat. A human finds herself in a Turf War, and then turns the battlefield around to transform into a powerful being with a human soul, and is able to give a magical performance. That was quite impressive, and gave me quite the entertainment." Alastor says.

"Uh, thank you," Zelda replies, sheepishly smiling.

"So what brings you to this hotel?" Alastor asks.

Charlie then comes in, "It's a bit of a long story, but in short, she met Angel and we found them and took her to the hotel. As of now, she'll be staying in the hotel and under my protection. So I appreciate it if you don't do anything harm to her or make her uncomfortable. Understand?"

"Why of course, I would never have any ill will towards the young lady. Besides, she'll make a good addition to your fine establishment," Alastor says.

"I guess," Zelda says, "Although, I never worked at a hotel or a Rehab before. I mean, I do some cleaning, cooking, sewing, and maybe help with some advertisements, but nothing too special."

"Sounds like good qualities of being one of the housekeepers here," Alastor says. "Of course with still lacking employment, this just won't do!" Alastor says, summoning his cane, "I suppose I can cash in a few favors to liven things up!"

Then with a snap of his fingers, the fireplace burst into flames. In a blink of an eye, the fireplace seems as good as new. Suddenly, something falls into it. Alastor walks over and picks up the strange being by the shirt. Suddenly, a single eye opened on its face. It's one large eye has a hot pink and yellow sclera with a light yellow iris, and a black pupil.

Charlie, Vaggie, Zelda, and Angel Dust look at what Alastor is holding with confused looks.

Soon, the suit bursts out of the demon to reveal a small one-eyed demon, akin to a cyclops. She also has a single eyebrow and white skin. She has short pink hair with a yellow highlight. Her teeth are sharp and light yellow, and she has small pink dots at each corner of her mouth, evocative of dimples. Her attire is that of a red 1950's maid dress and a white apron over it with three dripping splotches. She wears a dark red neckerchief. She has small, pointed limbs with her arms being black and her legs colored dark red.

"This little darling is Niffty!" Alastor says, and drops her to the ground.

The girl stands up and waves her hand with a smile, "Hi! I'm Niffty!"

"It's nice to meet you! It's been a while since I've made new friends!" Niffty eagerly says, showing her sharp light yellow teeth and uses her large eye to look around with excited laughter.

She then asks, "Why are you all women?"

Then rushes over and picks up Charlie, screaming, "Have any men here?!"

Everyone else jumps in surprise and Vaggie holds out a harpoon in anger.

She then quickly puts Charlie down, "I'm sorry, that's rude."

Then she notices the condition of the hotel, "Oh man, this place is filthy!"

She then runs all over the place and grabs a spider, "It really needs a lady's touch, which is weird, because most of you are all ladies, no offense."

Then brings out a feather duster, "Oh my gosh, this is awful!"

In seconds she begins to go on a cleaning spree as she giggles, "No, no, no... no, no- "

Then gasps and uses a needle to pierce a bug, "Nope."

"That girl is a ball of energy," Zelda says.

"You can say that again," Angel says.

Suddenly, a green glow appears causing everyone to turn heads to see what it is.

And a strange anthropomorphic cat slams a few cards on the table, "Ha! Read 'em and weep, boys!"

The cat looks like an evocative of a magician, paired with a casino referencing playing-card theme. The sclera of his eyes are black, with yellow irises and slitted pupils. He has long, red eyebrows with black vertical stripes near the tips, and a small black heart above each eyebrow. His fur is taupe-colored, overlayed with white on his face, torso, feet, and upper arms. The insides of his ears are white with a red tip at the point and red heart in the center. A black tuff of fluff protrudes from each, creating the appearance of small hearts. He has a darker shade of taupe encircling his ankles, mimicking spats. His tail is taupe and long, ending with a large spray of "plume-like" fur or feathers, which are dark pink with black and white stripes. He has yellow-orange hearts underneath the paws on his hands. His wings are large and red, with dark taupe on the undersides. The undersides of his wings are decorated with black stripes which feature red and white roulette wheel dot markings. The outside of his wings are decorated with more black stripes, which wrap around the joints and run around a row of white roulette wheel dots. He accessorizes with a black top hat with a red hatband and a golden button-like decoration, as well as a red bowtie and black suspenders over his shoulders.

"Full- whoa..." The cat continues, but strange symbols appear over him.

"Tel?" The cat questions.

Then asked annoyed, "What the fuck is this?"

He then notices the demon and gives him a threatening glare as he points his finger towards him, "You."

However, Alastor is not phased by the threatening state and happily greets, "Ah, Husker my good friend! Glad you could make it!" and places his hang on the cat's shoulder.

But the cat, Husk shoves it off in anger, "Don't you 'Husker' me, you son of a bitch. I was about to win the whole damn pot!"

He points to the pile of cash, poker chips, and coins on the table. Soon, the pile disappeared.

"Good to see you too!" Alastor says with a smile, doesn't seem phased by the scolding.

Husk facepalms his face, "What the hell do you want with me this time?"

"My friend, I am doing some charity work, so I took it upon myself to volunteer your services! I hope that's okay," Alastor says, wrapping his arm around the cat.

"Are you shittin' me?!" Husk asks, in anger.

"Hmm... no, I don't think so," Alastor answers, without a second thought.

Suddenly, there is an audience laughing, but quickly gasps when Husk pushes Alastor away from him.

Then Husk goes in a rage, "You thought it would be some kind of big fuckin' riot just to pull me outta nowhere. You think I'm some kinda fuckin' clown?"

Alastor simply answers, "...maybe."

Suddenly, a radio audience begins laughing.

"I ain't doin' no fuckin' charity job," Husk angrily says.

Alastor comes back and wraps his arm around the cat, "Well, I figured you would be the perfect face to man the front desk of this fine establishment.

He shows the cat some kind of strange front desk that almost looks like a small bar.

"With your charming smile and welcoming energy, this job was made for you!" Alastor adds, spreading Husk's face to form a big smile, but frowns afterwards.

He looks to notice Husk is anything, but amused.

He then walks to the desk and says, "Don't worry, my friend. I can make this more welcoming..."

"If you wish," Then summons a green bottle that has the label 'Cheap Booze' on the counter.

Husk simply stares at the few seconds and angrily says, "What, you think you can buy me with a wink and some cheap booze?!" as he walks towards Alastor and takes the bottle from the table. He has his eyes turn to the bottle and answers, "Well you can!"

He then begins to drink the bottle and sits behind the front desk. Zelda is dumbfounded that Husk is easily swayed by a bottle of alcohol.

Just then, Vaggie angrily protests, "Hey hey, heyheyhey! No, no bar, no alcohol. This is supposed to be a place that discourages sin! Not some kind of... mouth, brothel, man-cave..."

However, Angel Dust tackles Vaggie angrily and says, "Shut up! Shut! Up! We are keeping this," And points to the cat.

Angel leans on the table and gives Husk a smile, "Hey."

"Go fuck yourself," Husk says, and turns away.

"Only if you watch me," Angel says, with a seductive look.

Zelda mutters, "Gross."

Charlie rushes over and says with excitement, "Oh my gosh! Welcome to the Happy Hotel! You are going to love it here!"

"I lost the ability to love years ago," Husk says, and begins to drink his beverage.

Just then, Alastor walks over, "So, what do you think?"

"This is amazing!" Charlie says with a big smile and rubs her cheeks.

Vaggie says with her arms crossed, "It's... okay."

Alastor laughs and hugs Charlie and Vaggie, "This is going to be very entertaining!" Vaggie shoves herself away from Alastor's embrace. Alastor adjusts his monocle and summons a small flame from his hand in front of Charlie. Alastor tosses the flare in the air and shoves Vaggie away. Suddenly, Alastor's attire changes completely and begins to sing.

Alastor:

You have a dream

Alastor twirls Charlie around.

Alastor:

You wish to tell

Then changes her attire to a twenties style. Charlie seems happy to see her new outfit.

Alastor:

And it's just laughable

Vaggie is furious at the Radio Demon that her face is turning red and about ready to kill him.

Alastor:

But hey kid, what the hell!

The Radio Demon then picks Charlie up and tosses her in the air. Suddenly, the scenery changes color.

Alastor:

'Cause you're one of a kind

A charming demon belle!

He and Charlie dance, and slide down the stairs.

Alastor:

Now let's give these burning fools a place to dwell

Alastor snaps his fingers and everyone in the room has their outfits changed. Vaggie, Angel, and Zelda are confused by the outfit change. Nifty likes her clothes, while Husk doesn't seem to care, at all.

Alastor:

(Take it, boys!)

With another snap of his fingers, voodoo like shadows come out and play trumpets and a drum set. Charlie snaps her fingers to the beat with a smile on her face. Vaggie tries to talk to her about her concern, but Alastor drags her to the others.

Suddenly, spirits of some kind appear, and shout, "Boo!"

Alastor:

Inside of every demon is a lost cause

Alastor appears at the desk bar where Angel Dust and Husk are. He places a white hat on Angel's head, and plucks a hair from Husk's eyebrows. Angel snaps his fingers with a smile. Annoyed, Husk shows his middle finger when Alastor's not at the scene.

Alastor:

But we'll dress 'em up for now with just a smile!

Shadow Demons:

(With a smile!)

He then places a hat and a fur on Vaggie. He then slaps Vaggie's back, making her come in rage. Then she tosses the stuff to the ground as she growls in anger.

Alastor:

And we'll chlorinate this cesspool

With some old redemption flair

Alastor continues to dance, and kicks a skull out of the way. Then twirls his cane as he dances around.

Alastor:

And show these simpletons some proper class and style

Shadow Demons:

(Class and Style)

He then dances towards the fireplace. With a wave from his can, he summons more shadows to come out. One of them has the same resemblance to him.

Alastor:

(Oh!)

Here below the ground

I'm sure your plan is sound!

After that, he dances with Charlie and presses his hands against her cheeks. He then takes Zelda's hand and whisks her away before Vaggie has a say in it.

Alastor:

They'll spend a little time

He then spins himself and Zelda around and lets the girl go.

Alastor:

Down at this Hazbin Ho-

Alastor's singing becomes interrupted by a blast at the wall. Before the door could hit Niffty, Zelda quickly pulls her out of the way.

Zelda asks, "Are you alright?"

"I'm okay. Thank you," Niffty says.

"You're welcome," Zelda says. She then turns to the door, "Still, what was that?"

Everyone takes a lot outside of the hole that is made. They see an airship, a very familiar zeppelin.

Coming out of the opening of the ship, is the snake demon, Sir Pentious.

He announces, "Ha! Well well well, look who it is harboring the striped freak and winged girl!

"We meet yet again, Alastor!" The snake demon adds, having his eye on the Radio demon.

All Alastor asks is, "Do I know you?"

Sir Pentious feels offended, and says, "Oh, yes you do!"

The heads back to the controls.

"And this time, I have the element of-" The snake demon says.

He then pulls the switch, "Surprise!"

Coming down from the ship is some kind of power cannon.

He maniacally laughs as he says, "I'm so evil!"

Everyone, but Alastor is shocked to see the giant cannon staring down at them. Alastor then snaps his fingers and a vortex appears from under the airship. Black tentacles rise from the hole in the ground and grab hold of the airship. One of the tentacles pulls the cannon off and throws it into another abyss that has appeared.

In the airship, the Egg Bois and their boss are being rocked around. The airship leans to one side causing everyone inside to fall in that direction. Two of the Egg Bois hit the wall and broke into pieces.

Sir Pentious falls to the wall as he screams, "Oh, that hurt!"

Then a tentacle grabs his face. Then begins to fly him to the wall and then drag him on the floor. Then it makes a loop and crushes the snake demon. The Egg Bois are either broken to pieces or panicking in fear. Outside, the tentacles still grab off the airship. Alastor's eyes seem static as he moves his fingers to conjure his magic. Then changes back to their normal like stage. He then clutches his hand causing it to glow. The tentacles consume the airship and cause a massive explosion.

In a matter of seconds, the airship and the demons inside are blown to bits. Everyone is completely stunned to see Alastor has single handedly destroyed the airship. He holds a large yet evil smile on his face and some red x is placed on his forehead.

Suddenly, Alastor's face changes back to normal and says, "Well I'm starved! Who wants some jambalaya?"

He then walks past them as he says, "My mother once showed me a wonderful recipe for jambalaya! In fact, it nearly killed her!"

Then begins laughing. Niffty quickly follows him. Husk and Angel Dust soon follow. Angel also blows a kiss to him, much to Husk's dismay.

"You could say the kick was right out of Hell!" Alastor continues.

Charlie turns to Vaggie with a smile, and follows the others. Vaggie shows a smile to Charlie, but when she leaves, can't help, but feel concerned.

Alastor laughs and says, "Oh, I'm on a roll!"

Zelda soon follows after them with a smile on her face.

Alastor continues, "This is the start of some real changes down here! The game is set! Now..."

Alastor then uses his magic to change the sign from the Happy Hotel to the 'Hazbin Hotel,' "...Stay tuned. Hahaha...!"

Sometime later, outside of the hotel where the destruction of the Zeppelin is, all the Eggs except for one are crushed and broken into pieces. Suddenly, a claw lifts itself up and reveals to be Sir Pentious who survived Alastor's wrath.

The Egg Boi then asks with a smile, "Now will you shoot me with your ray gun?"

But the Snake Demon collapses from exhaustion soon after.
