Chapter 32: Welcome to Heaven Part 2

Sometime later, Charlie, Vaggie, Zelda, Emily, and Carrie arrive in front of the angelic courthouse.

"Wow. this is the courthouse," Charlie says.

"And so bright," Zelda says.

"That's right. This is where the angels have their court in making important decisions," Emily says.

"Like what's going on with the hotel?" Zelda asks.

"Yep," Emily says.

"You know Carrie, I really like your locket. It's pretty," Charlie says.

"Thanks. My parents gave it to me. Inside I have a picture of them," Carrie says, presenting her locket.

"Can we see?" Zelda asks.

"Sure," Carrie says and opens her locket.

There, they can see a picture of Carrie and her parents. However, Charlie and Zelda notice that their father actually looks like their fathers.

"They look really nice," Zelda says.

"True, but your dad actually looks a lot like my dad and uncle Alexander," Charlie says.

Carrie giggles, "Yes. It does make sense, after all, my father, Michael, is actually Lucifer and Alexander's brother."

"Really?!" Charlie reacts surprised and amazed.

Zelda is surprised, "Brothers?"

"That's right," Carrie says.

Charlie squeals, "That means we're cousins. I never thought I would meet my cousin up here in Heaven."

"I know. When Emily told me that Lucifer's daughter will be coming, I just had to meet you," Carrie says.

"How nice," Zelda says.

She then asks, "So, what are your parents like?"

"My parents are great. My mom, Freya, was a normal angel before she married my dad, who's as you know an Archangel. She's really beautiful, soft spoken, gentle and motherly, but she's also strong hearted. My dad is really nice too, and very hard working, a little too hard working, that he doesn't have time to spend time with me anymore," Carrie says.

"Has your dad ever mentioned my dad and uncle?" Charlie asks.

Carrie sadly admits, "No. Not really. After your dad falls from Heaven and my Uncle chooses to leave, he avoids talking about it because well, it hurts. Despite that, many close to Michael can tell that he really misses his brothers."

"Oh," Zelda says, sadly.

Carrie reassures, "But hey, that happened a long time ago, so there's no reason to be sad anymore. Besides, the court meeting is going to start soon, so we should get inside."

The group then walks inside and soon, they meet up with Sera.

"Hello everyone, how did the tour go?" Sera asks.

"We had a great time," Emily says.

"We sure did. And Charlie and the others had a great time," Carrie says.

"Yeah. I love it here!" Charlie says.

"Yes. Heaven is a really nice place," Zelda says.

"I'm glad you all are enjoying your visit," Sera says.

Soon, Zelda says, "I'm a little nervous. I've been to a court house like this before."

"Have you been in court before?" Vaggie asks, curious.

"Only for school because we were learning a bit about law and government during one of my classes," Zelda says.

"Well, I'm sure this one will not be any different, just full of angels," Charlie says.

Sera places her hand on Zelda's shoulder, "Do not worry, this won't take too long and consider this as a learning experience, okay."

"Sure," Zelda replies.

"Don't worry, I'll be there with you guys. So will Emily," Carrie says.

"Carrie's right. We'll be there to help you feel at ease," Charlie says.

Soon enough, everyone is in the angelic courtroom. Sera and Emily are sitting at the highest seat in the courtroom with the other angelic counsel at different levels. Charlie, Vaggie, and Zelda are sitting at another level. Carrie is also sitting beside them. Charlie is excited, but Vaggie is nervous. Zelda looks around to see the courthouse. And soon, Adam walks by on his way to his seat with Lute.

Charlie groans, "Oh no, not him again!"

Adam flies up and sits down beside Lute, "What up, baby? Saw that you went to my manager. Low blow, Karen."

"I just hope we don't have to hear this throughout the court session," Zelda mutters, rolling her eyes.

"You and me both," Vaggie mutters in agreement.

Soon, Sera announces, "We are gathered here today to determine whether or not a soul in Hell can be redeemed into the heavenly realm via means of this 'Hazbin Hotel'. Princess Morningstar?"

Charlie sighs and says, "Thank you, Seraphim," She clears throat, "Webster's dictionary defines redemption as—"

"Objection, lame and unoriginal," Adam calls out.

"Sustained. No further dictionary references please," Sera calmly says.

"Right, ok, uh, uh... uhhmmmm..." Charlie says, nervously and shuffles through multiple cards, all which have various dictionary references on.

Zelda raises her hand, "Your majesty, mind if I speak?"

"Of course," Sera answers with a nod.

"Thank you," Zelda says. She stands up and says, "Princess Charlie has been working on a hotel that will help demons sinners redeem themselves and ascend to Heaven as you know. And for the past five months, we've been working on rehabilitating sinners, showing them that they can change for the better." Emily smiles to hear it.

"Yeah yeah, we know a bit about that." Adam says, "If you have actual evidence, then show it already."

Then Charlie says, "We have three patrons right now who are making incredible progress!"

"Who?" Adam questions.

"We have Angel Dust," Charlie says.

"We also have Usagi," Zelda says.

"And Sir Pentious," Charlie says.

"Oh yeah, the porn demon, the little homicidal rabbit, and the Victorian inventor. They're totally worth being redeemed," Adam says and blows raspberries.

"That's rude," Zelda says, her arms crossed.

"Well, if you know so much, what do you think it takes to get into Heaven?" Charlie questions.

"Uhmm... w-w-well... Uhh..." Adam says, sounding uneasy.

Sera asks Adam, "Is everything ok, Adam?"

"Give me a fucking minute, ok?" Adam mutters.

Adam scrawls something down on a golden piece of paper, before teleporting it over to Vaggie.

Veggie reads the list, "'Act selfless, don't steal, stick it to the man'. Are you fucking serious?"

Zelda takes the paper and questions, "Is he serious with this right now?" And crumbles the paper into a ball.

"Uh, yeah. Sure got me here, didn't it?" Adam laughs nervously, "Right, Sera?"

"He was the first human soul in Heaven..." Sera points out.

"That's true Sera, but I kind of expected more of a reason from him," Zelda says.

"Hey," Adam says, feeling a bit insulted.

"Well, I bet Angel and the others are doing all of those things right now!" Charlie says.

"Then let's fucking see it bruh!" Adam says annoyed and snaps fingers.

Soon, a large orb appears in the room.

"Your honor, may I present exhibit A," Charlie smiles as the ball shows the club the group were partying at, Angel is by the bar with Cherri, Husk, Pentious, Niffty, and Usagi.

"Woo! Isn't this place the fucking best?" Cherri smiles squealing

"I'll admit, 'consent' is a good name for a sex club." Husk concedes smirking slightly.

"Niffty, dear, what are you doing?" Pentious asks.

"I'm sweeping! Ugh, look how icky it is in here!" Niffty complains sweeping away.

"That's because we're at a nightclub." Pentious says to her.

"Oh! I thought the hotel looked different!" Niffty giggles before going off somewhere.

"Um Niffty, I'm sure the staff has everything covered," Usagi says.

"And she's gone," Angel says.

"Ms. Bomb, I-I'd like to buy you a drink," Sir Pentious shyly comes up to her.

"Why? Didn't you say we're arch rivals?" Cherri says, smugly.

"Uhm... uhh... because I'm buying EVERYONE a drink!" Sir Pentious declares, making the crowd cheer.

"Free drinks! I love alcohol!" The crowd cheers.

"Good, I need a drink after today. You know, Val, he's into this waterboarding shit now..." Angel tells them.

Usagi rolls her eyes, "I don't think I want to know what you mean."

"And you really don't want to know what Val does. Trust me," Angel says.

"Angel, enough with the Val talk. He already ruined your whole day, don't let him ruin your night too. Here, take one of these and you won't be worrying about nothing." Cherri calls out to Angel.

"Here we go." Husk rolls his eyes at the pills.

"Oh look! The drunk sobered up long enough to judge us." Cherri sneers.

"I ain't the one trying to get into heaven. Look, you want to fuck up all your progress? Be my guest. I just... I just thought you were better than that." Husk admits disappointment drenched into said singular sigh.

"Thanks captain buzzkill. Come on, Angie, let's get fucked up! It's been too long since us three got fucked up together!" Cherri beams brightly at Angel.

"I uhh... I don't know, it's been a long night and I don't need to go too wild." Angel admits rubbing the back of his neck.

"Hmm." Husk hums approvingly.

"Come on, bitch. If you've really been working that hard, you deserve a little R and R, some THC, or maybe PCP with DMT. Aw fuck it, let's see where the night takes us, huh?" Cherri continues to press.

"I.. I guess?" Angel rubs the back of his neck.

"Cherri, I bought you a shot. B-because I brought everyone a shot! hooray!" Sir Pentious sets some shot glasses down.

"Yeah! Another drink! I love alcohol!" The crowd cheers.

Usagi and Angel giggle in response.

Usagi turns to Angel, "Well, Cherri is right about one thing, it's best you forget about Valentino for a while. We're all here for some fun."

"Ah... fuck it, let's do it," Angel drinks his shot.

Still in Heaven, everyone continues watching the event. Charlie and Vaggie grow worried, although with what's happening, they're not sure what they should be worried about. Zelda is mainly worried for Angel because of his boss. However, she also notices Pentious is acting weird towards Cherri. Last she remembers, those two are rivals, and yet, Pentious is acting differently towards her.

Carrie whispers to Zelda, "Is that the rabbit friend you've mentioned?"

Zelda nods her head in response.

"She's so cute," Carrie says.

"Heavenly people, what more do you need to see? The porn star chose a night of debauchery. That's not a soul worthy of being in heaven!" Adam points to the ball showing Angel and Cheri sharing a shot.

"Uhm, objection! Are you really telling me you've never had a drink with friends after a hard day?" Charlie argues.

Adam scoffs, "Uh, we don't have hard days? It's fucking heaven, bitch."

"That may be true, but it doesn't have to be drinks of alcohol," Zelda says, "I sometimes go out with my friends for drinks sometimes, but it's mainly the old fashioned soda stand near the beach."

"Hmm, I kind of see it, but you're still young for the adult stuff," Adam says, "But seriously, are you seriously gonna sit there and pretend like this behavior is ok?"

Charlie growls in response.

Zelda and Carrie soon try to calm Charlie down.

Then Adam turns to Vaggie with malicious intent, "What do you think?"

A still silence between the pair until...

"I-I- I have to go to the bathroom!" Vaggie says and flees.

"What? Vaggie, can you hold it?!" Charlie calls out, but Vaggie is already gone and lets out a groan.

She then says, "Angel will make good decisions, come on! We have to keep watching! Please?"

"Yeah, I don't know," Sera sighs.

"Come on, let's give him a chance," Emily urges.

"Yeah Sera, let's just give him a chance," Zelda says.

"Very well, the court will allow it." Sera allows.

"Fuck, yes!" Charlie says.

She notices a frown on Sera and Emily's face.

Zelda giggles and places her hand on her shoulder, "Inside voice, Charlie."

Charlie nervously says, "I mean... heh... thank you." Charlie falters from the angel's looks of disapproval.

Carrie giggles as she covers her mouth.

Sera stares at the three, and in her thoughts, She sees Alexander, Lucifer, and the third Angel that resembles them next to them. Lucifer looks embarrassed while Alexander and Michael giggle.

Everyone continues to watch the event at the bar.

"Round twelve, mother fuckers!" Cherri shouts as she sets the shots down on the table and hands to the boys.

"You sure you can afford this?" Husk couldn't help but ask.

"Ho ho yeah! Keep em' coming! Come on, right here! Come right to daddy." Angel eagerly welcomes another shot.

"Oh, it's wonderful to have friends!" Pentious laughs.

"Everything's spinny!" Niffty giggles reaching for one more.

"Alright, I think you're done, tiny." Angel says, taking the shot.

But Niffty reaches out for it, "No! Gimme gimme gimme!"

"Oh come on, bitch! She can handle a little more!" Cherri argues.

"But she drank so much already," Usagi says.

"Yeah. She's like 10 pounds soaking wet and—" Angel says, but notices Niffty is gone, "Oh shit, where'd she go?"

Suddenly, someone shouts, "Hey! Fuck!"

Everyone turns to see Niffty cleaning off the table and taking the drinks.

Nifty exclaims, "Dirty, dirty! Make it clean!"

"Oh no!" Usagi cries out, shocked.

Angel walks over to her, "Damn it, Niffty. Sorry fellas, here, next one's on me," and handing them some money which they eagerly take as just then.

Angel soon notices that Niffty is gone, "Niffty? Shit!" and soon finds her in the closet.

"Chlorine... Bleach..." Niffty looks over the chemicals.

"Angie, What the fuck you doin'? You're supposed to be relaxin' not playing nanny!" Cherri scowls at her.

"Look she ain't used to this scene, I-I just don't want her to end up in the gutter like I used to." Angel tells her.

"WHATEVER NERD, just catch up when you're done," Cherri scoffs going over to a nearby table as Angel tries to deal with Niffty.

Niffty laughs looting the closet.

Angel then grabs and snaps at her with annoyance, "STOP! You can't take tha- GOD Nift' Why you bein' such a mess!"

"I'm the mess...?" Niffty says, shocked and then she starts crying heavy tears.

Realizing his mistake, Angel comforts her, "Oh... shh shh Hey hey, Hey calm down," He takes a deep breaths, "You ain't a mess, it's fine..! Shh.. Hey, you wanna play with the kitty?"

Niffty stops crying and says, "Yeah..."

Angel puts Niffty on Husk's head while she giggles about it.

"The fuck is this?" Husk asks, off guard.

"She's wasted, just go with it," Angel says.

"Re-Really?" Husk responds and sees Niffty playing with his ears and wings, "Ugh, get the..."

Meanwhile, Sir Pentious falls off his seat and slithering over to Cherri Bomb at another table.

"Ahh... HEY WOW! Hey, so... I see the club has a sex room, so I was thinking, maybe you'd want to, uhmm... do a... SEX with me?" Sir Pentious approaches Cheri.

"A sex?" Smirking, Kira couldn't help but snicker.

"Y-Yes..." Sir Pentious bravely nods.

"I'm sorry, why would we have sex?" Cherri snorts, smirking.

"Uh... uhm... because I'm having sex with everyone here!" Panicked, Sir Pentious proclaims.

Crowd cheers, before dragging Sir Pentious towards the 'sex room'. Many sets of eyes are visible inside

"WAIT!" Sir Pentious claws at the floor below.

And soon they got Pentious in the room and closed the door. Soon, Angel, Usagi, and Husk arrive, and Husk is holding Niffty who is playing with his wings.

"You know, we can do this fucking shit every fuckin' night! You don't have to spend all your off hours 'working on yourself", you little bitch," Cherri says.

But Husk says, "The hotel isn't a problem in his life, it's—"

"Valentino," Angel suddenly says.

"Exactly," Husk says, "So why don't you-"

But Angel says in concern, "No, Valentino."

Husk and Usagi turn their head to where Angel is pointing to. And to their shock, they see Valentino at a large sofa-bench talking with some female demons.

Val says to the girls, "Yeah, I'm here all the time, they know me. You're gorgeous, do you need a job? How many dicks can you suck? Ooh, I could make you a star... Yeah, a star. Porn star. OK, yup, bring me another drink or I'll fucking kill you. I said I'll fucking kill you, and I will."

During the conversation...

"Wha-what's he going here?" Usagi asks, worried.

"I don't know, but I don't like it," Husk says.

"Let's get the fuck outta here, okay? Come on," Angel says, wanting to get out of here.

But notices that Niffty is gone, "Where's Niffty?"

The others look and soon turn to see Niffty is running towards Valentino.

"Bad boy!" Niffty says and continues running toward him.

Angel tries to get through the crowd, "Excuse me. Pardon me. Get out of my way."

Angel tumbles onto the platform and grabs Niffty, who is still running in midair as Angel holds her.

Sadly, Valentino notices him and Niffty, "Holy shit, Angel Dust? What are you doing here, baby? You didn't get enough dick today?"

Funny," Angel says, displeased.

Valentino soon notices Niffty, "Who's this chiquita? You bringing me fresh meat?"

Niffty attempts to bite Valentino's finger and he yelps, "Oi!"

"I just want a taste," Niffty says.

"Ehh, weird, but there's a kink for that, I'm sure!" Val says.

Angel stands up, still holding Niffty and says, "Fuck off, Val."

"Excuse me?" Val questions and begins to frown.

"I said fuck off!" Angel clarifies, "I may have to put up with your bullshit, but you ain't fuckin' with any of my friends!"

Valentino summons his red smoke chain, "You forget who you're talking to? I own you, bitch," and grabs Angel with it, pulling him close.

"Yeah, you do, in the studio. And you can do anything you want to me there, just like our deal says. But out here, I get to do what I want," Angel says, angrily and stands up for himself, "And another thing, you and your cronies stay the hell away from Zelda. Charlie and I told her about you and the other Vees, and she knows that she is not supposed to go near you. I messed that up before and I'm not messing this up. Like the others, Zelda is my important friend, and I'm not going to do anything to her after that fuckin stunt you three pulled. So once again, FUCK. OFF."

Valentino is about to smack Angel, but is quickly grabs by someone pretty tightly

"Leave Angel alone!" Usagi cries out holding Valentino's arm.

"Usagi?!" Angel exclaims in shock.

"What the fuck are you doing? Get off of me!" Val angrily shouts as he tries to shake Usagi off.

But the bunny girl refuses and then with her own strength, makes Val punch himself in the head. This makes Valentino angry and throws Usagi at Angel. Angel catches her as she falls to the ground.

Valentino walks over, "Enjoy the rest of your night, bitch, because I'm going to enjoy making you pay for it tomorrow."

"Fuckin' dickhead..." Cherri says, angerly.

Angel stands up as he helps Usagi back on his feet and walks back to the others.

"Fuck it. It was worth it," Angel says.

Husk smiles and puts a hand on Angel's back as they walk off, "Way to go, kid."

Then turns to Usagi, "And you were pretty brave back there too."

"Yeah. I never saw anyone grabbing Val's arm and using his fist to punch himself," Angel says.

"I had to, you're my friend, and I was also mad for how he treated Zelda too," Usagi says.

"Don't blame you," Husk says.

Niffty appears tearing off a part of Valentino's fur.

That causes Val to scream, "Ow! What the fuck?!"

Niffty chuckles, "For my collection!" And further chuckling, "Wait up, guys!" and hurry after the others.

"Did you just call these cunts your friends?" Cherri asks, " Thought that was my job."

"There's room for everyone, and ya know..." Angel says, "You could come crash with us too."

"Okay, look, Angie, I'm glad this hotel shit is workin' for you, but you know me, bitch, I'm doin' just fine!" Cherri says, In fact, I'm gonna fuck the next guy I see, okay? But if you need me, you know where to find me, yeah?"

Finally, Pentious is able to get out of the room as he pants.

He soon asks, "Is Cherri still here?"

However, Cherri walks into the sex room with another demon.

And mutters to himself, "Dammit!"

Back in Heaven...

Everyone in the courtroom watches what has transpired.

Charlie also says, "See! He did everything on your checklist! He was selfless, he stopped Niffty from stealing and he stuck it to that moth man! And Usagi was even brave to come to Angel's defense."

Uhhh... well, uh..." Adam asks, unsure, "Then, then why isn't he here then? Hm?"

"Yeah, why isn't he here?" Emily questions.

"And why wasn't Usagi?" Carrie asks.

The angels observing the court all murmur together.

This has Charlie confused, "Wait... none of you know what gets someone into Heaven?"

Then Sera abruptly says, "This questioning stops now. We know when a soul arrives, we know when they pass divine judgment, it is our job to ensure these souls are safe."

Then Zelda speaks up, "But do you have an idea as to how? Because, well, I feel as if there's something humans do that allows them to ascend to Heaven or descend to Hell depending on the deeds they perform and the action they take when they're alive. Take my friend Usagi for example. All her life she has been a good girl, but after having her dreams destroyed, it caused her to do something that got her sent to Hell. And she ended up regretting it, and deep down she wants to do better..." As Sera watches Zelda speak, she soon sees Alexander replacing her as Zelda continues on, "Even though Demons may or may not be able to get into Heaven, they can still show redemption and change themselves to not only better others, but for themselves, and also make the world better. It's a hard road, but life is never as easy as some people believe. And the best we can do is show them the right direction and help understand their problems. There's a lot I have to say about it, but it's best to not let it out for so long."

Sera says in thought with a calm smile, "Zelda, you remind me a bit of Alexander. Guess the apple doesn't fall off from the tree."

"But still, I wonder why Angel and Usagi weren't able to get into Heaven? Because from what Zelda has explained, judging by Usagi's actions, it's possible she can fully be redeemed," Carrie says.

Suddenly, Emily begins to sing.

Emily:

But they were right, Sera

They showed us they're souls can improve

Emily flies up and shows the orb with the scene of Angel defying Valentino and Usagi deafening Ange.

Then Carrie does the same as she takes flight.

Carrie:

They saw the light, Sera

Checked all the boxes that you said would

Emily flies with the orb and asks the other angels observing the court.

Emily:

Prove a person deserves a second chance

Now we turn our backs, no second glance?

Sera:

It's not as simple as you think

Emily flies back up to Sera, who takes her hands.

Sera:

Not everything is spelled in ink

Back down Charlie staring defiantly with Vaggie in the background.

Charlie:

It's not fair, Sera

Vaggie steps forward and puts a hand on Charlie's shoulder.

Vaggie:

Careful, Charlie, keep a cool head...

Charlie pulls away and looks at Sera.

Charlie:

No! Don't you care, Sera?

That just because someone is dead

It doesn't mean they can't resolve to change their ways

The orb shows multiple images of Angel and the others.

Charlie:

Turn the page

Escape infernal blaze

Sera:

I 'm sure you wish it could be so

But there's a lot that you don't know

Just then, Adam and Lute take over.

Lute:

What are we even talkin' about?

Some crack-whore who fucked up already?

He blew his shot, like the cocks in his mouth

Lute stands up and puts her Exorcist mask on.

Lute:

This discussion is senseless and petty

Both Adam and Lute fly up in front of Charlie and Zelda, before flying over to and landing on the orb.

Lute and Adam:

There's no question to be posed

He's unholy, case closed

Did you forget that 'Hell is forever'?

Adam:

A man only lives once

We'll see you in one month

Adam flies off of the orb and gets closer to Charlie, who briefly turns into her full demon form and makes sure to protect Zelda.

Adam:

Gotta say, I can't wait to

This got Sera worried, "Adam..."

Adam:

Come down and exterminate you!

This catches Emily off guard, "Wait!"

"What?!" Carrie exclaims in shock.

"Huh?" Zelda and Charlie respond, confused.

"Shit!" Adam reacts, realizing his mistake.

Emily:

What are you saying?

Let me get this straight

Emily flies down and lands in front of the orb, which now displays a silhouette of an exorcist standing among frames, staring sadly.

Carrie:

You go down there and kill those poor souls?

This catches Charlie and Zelda off guard, in shock. They soon realize that Carrie and Emily have no clue of the Extermination at all.

Then Zelda steps in.

Zelda:

You didn't know?

"Whoops!" Adam respoinds.

"Whoops?" Zelda questions, arching her eyebrow.

"What do you mean whoops?" Carrie questions.

Then Lute takes the lead.

Lute:

Guess the cat's out of the bag...

Adam:

What's the big deal?

Emily looks up at Sera.

Emily:

Sera, tell me that you didn't know

Sera:

I thought, since I'm older

It's my load to shoulder

This shocked Emily, "No!"

Sera flies down to Emily and takes her hands.

Sera:

You have to listen

It was such a hard decision

I wanted to save you, the anguish it takes to

Sera takes Emily's hand and forces a smile, the fire from the orb reflecting in her eyes. However, Zelda can tell that her face looks forced.

Sera:

Do what was required

Emily:

To think that I admired you

Emily tugs out of Sera's grip and flies upwards.

Emily:

Well, I don't need your condescension

I'm not a child to protect

Emily turns in the air and questions Sera directly, before she lands in front of the orb next to Charlie, Carrie and Zelda. Carrie walks over in concern for her friend, to find out the truth like this.

Emily:

Was talk of virtue just pretension?

Was I too naïve to expect you

To heed the morals you're purveying?

Charlie:

That's what the fuck I've been saying!

Then Charlie, Zelda, and Emily fly onto the orb.

Charlie, Carrie, Zelda and Emily:

If Hell is forever, then Heaven must be a lie!

Sera is shocked, "Emily! Carrie!"

Charlie, Carrie, Zelda and Emily:

If angels can do whatever, and remain in the sky

Charlie and Zelda then fly off the orb and move out of the way, showing an Exorcist murdering a demon.

Charlie, Carrie, Zelda and Emily:

The rules are shades of gray when you don't do as you say

When you make the wretched suffer just to kill them again

The members of the court are shown to be horrified.

Charlie:

I was told not to trust in angels

Adam walks nearer to Vaggie.

Adam:

By her?

Lute leans on Vaggie's shoulder.

Lute:

Ha! She should know

Vaggie walks over to Charlie, who takes her hands.

Vaggie:

We should go

Charlie:

No! Don't you see?

We've come so close

Showing the angels all talking together and Emily refusing to listen to Sera.

Charlie:

Look at them fighting; they're at each other's throats

Adam:

Don't you act all high and mighty

Did you ever think your little girlfriend might be a liar?

Adam walks through the gap between Charlie and Vaggie and approaches the orb.

Vaggie:

Don't, Adam, please!

Adam:

What's the fuss?

Why hide the fact that you're an angel

Adam sinisterly turns while Lute grabs Vaggie and pulls her over to them.

Adam:

Just like us?

The orb shows Vaggie in the past as an Exorcist, a shadow falling over the darkened courtroom as she spreads her wings.

Zelda gasps in shock as her mouth is covered. Charlie falls to her knees in disbelief as Vaggie runs to her and Emily settles back by Sera. Charlie and Zelda can't believe it, Vaggie is really an exorcist.

Inhaling to keep composure, Sera says, "I'm sorry... but this court finds that there is no evidence souls in Hell can be redeemed."

"Oh, FUCK, YES! I WIN! SUCK IT BITCHES," Adam shouts in victory, and gives the girls a sinister smile, "You better save the date cunts, 'cause we're coming to your hotel FIRST."

Hearing this, Zelda shouts, "YOU CAN'T DO THAT!"

"I can and I will, you little bitch," Adam says.

Zelda marches up to him, "Listen here you, Adam. I don't really understand what's going on, but I know that what you're doing is entirely uncalled for. And the way you acted and Charlie told me about the last time she saw you, you seem to want to kill demons for kicks."

Emily and Carrie are shocked to hear this.

"Zelda!" Charlie reacts in shock.

Vaggie is also shocked, "Wow. I think she just exploded."

"Woah woah woah, kid! No need to act nasty! I mean sure I'm the one who decided that it's okay for us to do this! Even though I'm the one who suggested it!" Adam says, trying to calm her.

"Yeah, and I'm not happy about it so much, but I think she actually did it because she really cared for Emily and her kind. I get that you all have problems with demons, and maybe you're right because I've been in Hell for months, and I saw that many demon sinners can be very nasty, but I also got to meet demons that aren't really like that at all. Some actually care, some regret their actions and decisions and have trouble taking it back," Zelda explains, trying to remain calm, but still have anger.

Sera, Emily, Carrie, and the other angels are surprised by Zelda's speech.

Zelda continues, "It shows that demons still have the choice to improve, have the choice to make their lives better, and to make up for all the mistakes they made when they're alive. And in some cases, they do their sins during their darkest moments and go through tough times. And there will be some who don't feel that way, but there are some who do. And weather or not, I believe that demons can be redeemed and maybe ascend to Heaven. I mean, just because it never happens, doesn't mean that it's impossible."

"Yeah yeah, tell it who cares," Adam says, unamused.

This causes Zelda to go more off the deep end as her horns and tail appear and her eyes change to the demonic form. And now, Zelda is furious.

Zelda then grabs Adam by the collar and shouts, "Don't give me that lip you, fuckin' angelic windbag! You have no right to really criticize because you used to be a human yourself! And like humans, angels and demons can make mistakes, but that's just how life is! Sera really cares about Emily, Carrie, and the other angels that she really wanted to protect then, and she decides to suffer the burden of so many souls dying from her decision alone! And I don't care if Vaggie was an exorcist, Vaggie has come this far since being fallen, and was able to learn that this whole Extermination is wrong! Even though I wish she could have told Charlie and me a lot sooner! But she probably wants to suffer this burden of what she was and what she did to Charlie's people on her own and feels really bad about it now she sees what the demons have gone through, or maybe she has trouble telling Charlie because she feels really bad about it now since she got to know all of this from her point of view! And the next time you decide to come up with an extreme and insane plan, you rethink it before actually doing it!" and she soon swings Adam and throws him back, causing him to get slammed back against the wall and falls over.

Everyone gasps in shock to see that.

Lute helps Adam up, "Are you alright, sir?"

"Yeah," Adam says, regaining himself and his footing, "I don't know if I should be impressed or annoyed at this chick."

"Either way, I think he heard enough of that abomination," Lute says.

Zelda takes deep breaths and soon reverts back to her more human self, no horns, tail, her eyes revert back to normal, and her wings disappear.

"Zelda, are you okay?" Vaggie asks.

"I'm fine," Zelda says, annoyed.

Then Charlie says, "We should get back."

"I'm not through with this jerk yet," Zelda says.

But Adam says, "Oh yes you are. And it's about time I do this since I first saw you in Heaven."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Vaggie questions.

"What he means is that this girl has been in Hell for far too long," Lute says.

"And it's time we send this girl back home to Earth where she belongs," Adam says, and snaps his fingers.

Soon, the portal that leads to earth opens, and Zelda begins to get pulled towards it. Charlie and Vaggie quickly grab Zelda's hands.

"Zelda!" Charlie cries out.

"Charlie! Vaggie!" Zelda cries out.

Sera, Carrie, and Emily are shocked by this.

"And it's time that you bitches return where you belong!" Adam says and snaps his finger to open a portal back to Hell.

Charlie cries out, "NO! NO! You can't..."

"You... Motherfucker," Vaggie angrily shouts.

Unable to hold on, Zelda's hands slip from Vaggie and Charlie. All three scream as they are transported through the portals.

Emily cries out, "Charlie! Zelda! Don't give up on this!

"We'll figure something out, we promise!" Carrie calls out.

Soon, the three girls are gone.

Sera turns to Adam, "That was uncalled for, Adam. Why would you do that?"

"Yeah, But did you see the looks on their fucking faces, it was..." Adam says, but notices the frown on Sera's face, and begins to stammer, "d-d-" And stammers more before saying, "Sorry..."

The court, Adam, and Lute fly away.

Soon, Sera, Carrie, and Emily are all alone.

Emily turns to Sera, still shocked, "Extermination...of human souls!? Demon or not there is NO reason to be doing this!"

But Sera says, "They were uprising, Emily! It is my position as the head Seraphim to protect our people at all costs. And it's your position to keep them happy and joyful," And leans forward, putting her hands on Emily's shoulders.

"How can I bring joy when I now know we are bringing misery to thousands of innocent people?" Emily asks, upset.

"And how could Adam do that to Zelda?" Carrie asks, upset of Adam's actions towards her friend.

But Sera says, "Heaven needs us, Emily. Everyone looks to us... and we can't doubt ourselves or worry about the fates of demons when we have our own souls to protect. Please... if you start to question... you could end up like Lucifer: Fallen. I couldn't bear to see you suffer that fate, so please, let me worry about this, ok?" She then kisses Emily's forehead, "I'm sorry."

"But, what about Zelda?" Carrie asks, worried.

Sera saddened to hear Zelda's name, Ï can only rest a sure that Zelda made it to Earth okay without any incident, and she is back with her family," And takes her leave.

Emily puts a hand on Adam's crumbled up list gently. Carrie feels so sad that she's on the verge of tears. Emilys wraps her arms around her for comfort.
