Dad Beat Dad (HH Ep 5)
We open on Vaggie who was sleeping in bed. She squirms before waking up, yawning and rubbing her eyes. She turns to the left side, noticing that Charlie was gone.
Vaggie: Charlie?
It cuts to Charlie panicking and planning out everything with lots of paper with strings attached with everyone else watching her, disturbed by her behavior.
Charlie: I'm just not quite understanding why it's not working. Okay, okay, think Charlie. Think, think, think, think, think, think, think, think. Okay if I do this, it's going to be- *gasp* I have trust falls every single morning. We can do- *gasp*
Angel: Yikes.
Charlie: C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, Charlie!
Vaggie: Charlie?... Sweetie? You, uh, you good?
Charlie looks back with sleep-deprived, insane look in her eyes.
Charlie: Nope, no! Not really! Haha! I've been up all night trying to figure out why the hotel isn't working. *Crushes paper with hand* We've done trust falls. We've tried sharing our feelings. We only have a couple months left before the angels come- *Turns into demonic form and laughs maniacally before turning back to normal* And at this rate...
Crystal chimes in, holding Lilac in her lap.
Crystal: Charlie, it'll be okay. Take a deep breath, we're here for you. *smiles*
Jesse: Yeah, we know the extermination is nearing, but lets not lose our heads over this.
Vaggie: Maybe it's time-
Charlie: NO!
Vaggie: to ask-
Charlie: DON'T SAY IT!
Vaggie: Your dad.
Charlie groans, knowing what this means for her.
Vaggie: Charlie, I know you don't want to, but we need every advantage we can get.
Crystal: Besides, he holds a lot of power both in politics and magic. I'm sure he can help us.
Jesse: It'll be cool just meeting the big man himself. I always wanted to ask if the story is true.
Crystal: Which one?
Jesse: The one where he went down to Georgia. It's a song about how he lost a fiddle duel and the winner got a golden fiddle.
Crystal: Huh, interesting.
Charlie: But guys, he let the extermination happen to begin with. They just had a meeting and said, "Go ahead and kill everyone!"- *gasp* Wait. That's it!
Vaggie/Crystal: Kill everyone?
Jesse: I'm sure, Alastor would love that.
Charlie: No! He could get me a meeting with Heaven!
Vaggie: Didn't we already try that?
Charlie: Well. yeah, with Adam, he was an asshole. But he isn't in charge of all of Heaven. We could go to the top! There's sure to be some angels who will listen.
Charlie scrolls through her contacts. In her contacts, she has Egg Boys 1,2, and 3, before her thumb lingers on top of her "Dad". However, she was hesitant to call her dad.
Husk: What's the holdup? You got daddy issues?
Charlie: No, we just have never been close. After he and Mom split, he never really wanted to see me. He calls... sometimes, but only if he's bored or like, needs me to do something.
Husk was aware that this is just an excuse that Charlie does have issues with her dad and turns to the others.
Husk: Daddy issues.
Angel: Well I'd like to meet the big dick in charge.
Niffty: The ultimate bad boy.
Niffty laughs with excitement while Angel takes the knife from her.
Niffty: I bet he's scarry.
Jesse: Agreed, he's got to be metal as fuck. *grins*
We cut to Lucifer's house, showing framed photos of his family in a dark spooky room. Lucifer can be heard making snarling noise as he was working on something. As the scene goes, his room is revealed to be filled with a lot of rubber ducks, and stacks of them filled the boxes and tubs.
Lucifer: That's it... Almost there... Now presenting... the magic-tastical backflipping rubber duck! Ha ha! That spits fire! *rubber duck shoots flamethrower from its mouth* Hoo hoo hoo! Hold the applause! Please, okay. Oh, thank you, thank you. Oh God, who am I kidding, This sucks!
He throws the rubber duck at his family portrait and looks sad. Suddenly his ringtone plays. he picks up his phone, and was shocked who was calling him.
Lucifer: Daughter? Daughter calling, daughter, daugter calling! OH! Uhm-uh. Hello, Charlie. H-Hey, heyyy, hey Char-Char. No! No. That's not good. Oh, this is the first time she's called YOU in years. This has to be perfect. *takes a deep breath before he picks up phone* Hey, bitch!
Charlie: Hi, Dad.
Lucifer: Hey! How are you? Oh ho. Wh-Wh-where are you these days?
Charlie: You know where I am Dad. I've told you before.
Lucifer: You have? Oh, yeah uh, well, you know, I um uh-
Charlie: I told you when you called me five months ago, or did you not listen?
Lucifer: No, no, no, no. Just, you know, just forgot. I've just been really busy! Ya know, with, um... Important things. *kicks rubber duck*
Charlie: Well, I'm actually running a hotel to rehabilitate sinners. Maybe you saw our commercial?
Lucifer: Oh... sadly, I missed it. heh heh. You know I haven't been watching much TV lately. Scrambles the brain. *makes silly noises*. But, hey, A hotel! Fun!
Charlie: *sighs* Listen, Dad, I've got... kind of a big ask.
Lucifer: *coughs and sets down his tea* Yeah, of course. Anything in my power is yours for the asking. You just name it~
Charlie: I need to speak to Heaven. Well, whoever's in charge up there, above Adam, above anybody. I need to go to the top.
Lucifer: Oh, no. No~ No, no, no, no, Charlie, no, no, no. That's, uh hah, no.
Charlie: *angrily* Look Dad, *normal* I don't ask you for much, I never have, but this, THIS is really important to me. It's the most important thing I've ever done. And I... need you. I need your help.
Lucifer: I don't know, Charlie.
Charlie: Please, just come see what I'm trying to do. You'll see why it's a really good idea. And Heaven is BOUND to agree if I get the chance to talk to them. Please, Dad.
Lucifer: Wait. You're... inviting me over? Absolutely! Hoh! I'll be there in an hour. *hangs up* ♪ My daughter wants to see me~! ♪ Take that depression!
Back at the hotel, Charlie and Vaggie prepare for Lucifer's arrival.
Charlie: Welp, we have an hour until he gets here.
Vaggie: Okay people!
Everyone stands at attention, but Husk spills coffee over himself and Niffty collapses on the floor.
Vaggie: Lucifer is on his way. So we are going to get this place presentable and we are going to make an amazing impression. Vamanos!
Everyone scatters to get the place tidy and ready for Lucifer. Crystal, Sir Pentious, and Niffty bake cookies, then Niffty starts sweeping and Husk is cleaning up with Jesse. Crystal also prepared some specific duck shaped cookies. Alastor walks in and watches Razzle and Dazzle put up a "Wellcum Daddy" banner up. Angel puts on some makeup before closing the mirror, revealing Niffty staring creepily at him, making Angel recoil back in surprise.
Charlie: *sighs* Okay everyone, it's showtime!
Charlie opens the door, revealing Lucifer, excited to see his daughter.
Lucifer: Chaaaarlie!
Charlie: Hey, Da-
Charlie doesn't get to finish because Lucifer hugs her really tight like a bear. Unbeknownst to them, Alastor was right behind them, with his wicked smile strained and left eye twitching in anger when Alastor saw Lucifer.
Lucifer: Oh, it's so good to see you. Haha!
Charlie:*strained* It's uh, good to see you, too, Dad.
Charlie pushes Lucifer off to give herself a breather.
Charlie: *clears throat* Welcome! to the Hazbin Hotel!
Two egg boys pop some party poppers as a warm welcome. KeeKee curls up to Lucifer and rubs her face against his legs. Lucifer notices her and goes all enchanted by her cuteness. He crouches down and rubs her head.
Lucifer: Oh, hewwo, KeeKee!
Razzle and Dazzle fly by and Lucifer greets them.
Lucifer: Razzle, Dazzle. *makes endearing noises* Oh, look how much you haven't grown! Still fun sized. You taking care of my wittle girl? *in a deep ominous threatening tone* You better be... *snickers* Wow, this place sure looks, uh... Uh-huh. Yeah. Uh-huh. It's got a lot of character.
Jesse: *from behind* It certainly does.
Lucifer: *turns around* Shit! Oh, hello big guy.
Jesse: Greetings, mate! Jesse "Fang" Howler, upcoming rock star and hotel entertainer. Pleased to meet you, Lord Lucifer.
Lucifer: Oh, a rocker? Interesting, cool cool. Pleased to meet you. Been a while since I've heard about a hybrid demon.
Jesse: Glad to hear. Wait, what do you mean it's been a while?
Lucifer: Um...
They're cut off by Crystal who walks out with a pan of fresh duck shaped cookies, setting them down. Lucifer smiles upon seeing her.
Lucifer: Crystal!!
Crystal: *smiles and hugs him* Luci!!
The two hug while Charlie and Jesse watch with confusion.
Lucifer: How've you been? I've missed our flights.
Crystal: Eh you know, plenty of work. Busy as usual, making friends.
Lucifer: Haha, so nothing new.
Jesse: The fuck is going on, mate?
Charlie: Yeah, how do you two know each other?
Crystal: Oh right, I never told you guys. I met him through, Ozzie and we just sorta became friends while I helped him on some business ventures. He loves my duck cookies.
Lucifer: Oh, speaking of which!
Lucifer runs over and grabs a duck cookie, taking a bite.
Lucifer: Yummy as always! You're ironically an angel, Crystal.
Crystal: Aww, thanks Luci.
Jesse: Yeah, until she throws a water balloon at you.
Crystal: Oh c'mon, it was funny.
Jesse: Yeah, than I spend at least an hour drying my fur.
The two laugh while Lucifer smiles. He then see's the bar and was immediately repulsed by it.
Lucifer: OH! What in the unholy hell is that?!
Alastor reappears from the fog and in front of Angel Dust.
Alastor: Just some of the renovations we had done. Adds a bit of color, don't you think?
Lucifer: And you are?
Alastor: *reappears behind Lucifer* Alastor! Pleasure to be meeting you, sir. Quite a pleasure! It's nice to finally put a face to the name. You are much shorter in real life.
Alastor makes a hand gesture, indicating the height difference between the Morningstar's.
Lucifer: Who is this? Who is this now? Are you the bellhop?
Alastor: Haha! No! I am the host of the hotel. You might have heard of me from my radio broadcast.
Lucifer: Hmm. Nope! I guess that's why Charlie called it the Has-been Hotel! Hahaha.
Alastor: Ha ha ha! It was actually my idea.
Lucifer: Ha ha ha! Well, it's not very clever!
Alastor: HA HA! Fuck you.
The two slowly move closer until they're staring daggers at each other. Charlie quickly steps in between them to ese the tension.
Charlie: Okay! Okay, anyway. Dad, look at this lovely parlor where people can get to know each other and share secrets and stories and intimate feelings! Without Alastor, we wouldn't have been able to pretty it up this much.
Alastor: Charlie has a very unique vision. I am happy to fulfil her bizarre requests.
Alastor places a hand on her shoulder which causes Lucifer to get mad that he is winning over Charlie more than he is, which makes him very angry to the point where he growls in frustration.
Charlie: Oh, thank you, Alastor.
Alastor: Quite an impressive young lady. (condescendingly) We're all very proud of her.
Lucifer: *clears throat* Charlie, dear, why don't you introduce me to your OTHER friends?
Lucifer walks right between them before pointing his stick to the others at the table. Angel Dust tries to get a cookie from Sir Pentious, but he doesn't want Angel touching the cookies without Lucifer trying them and hides them underneath him. Jesse and Crystal step in to try and ease the tension between everyone.
Charlie: Oh, yes, of course. This is Vaggie. She's my girlfriend!
Lucifer: Oh ho my golly! You like girls? So do I! We have so much in common! You put er' there, Maggie! Hey! *hugs her while laughing* She's so pretty.
Vaggie: Uh, lovely to meet you, uh, sir!
Charlie: And this is Sir Pentious-
Pentious: *salutes* Your majesty!
Charlie: -and Angel Dust, our guests!
Angel: Heya, short king~
Charlie: Husk is our bartender, and Niffty is our housekeeper.
Husk: Nice to meet you.
Niffty was super-excited to meet the ultimate bad boy that she scurries over and climbs up on his coat.
Niffty: Hello. *laughs* I clean. Hehehehe.
Jesse: And harass the performer.
Lucifer: Speaking of which, what is it you and Crystal do?
Jesse: Crystal cooks and cleans, I rock n roll. *grins and makes a devil horns gesture*
Suddenly the chandelier falls and produces a huge amount of dust which makes everyone cough. Lucifer and Alastor were at the chandelier when Lucifer knows Alastor did that on purpose.
Lucifer: *Laughs* Alright, then.
https://youtu.be/jNUTxvki_d0
Everyone looked on, perplexed by the sudden arrival of Mimzy.
Lucifer/Jesse/Crystal: Who?
Mimzy: Didn't you just hear me? Why is everybody gawkin'? Is it, cuz I'm adorable?
Alastor: Mimzy!
Mimzy: Alastooorr, sweetie, doll-face! So good to see you. How you been? Good? Good.
The two hug it out.
Mimzy: Listen, I was in the neighborhood. I heard you were staying at this ritzy slob factory, and I figured I'd stop by, say hi! For old times sake.
Alastor: Of course, sweetheart! Everyone is welcome here!
Charlie: Oh, how nice! So you two know each other?
Mimzy: Oh, yeah, we go way back, ran in the same circles when we were alive. You know, this one used to frequent the club where I used to perform. He's the only one I knew who could pound whiskey like a sailor then keep up with me on the dance floor.
Alastor: Oh, quite a talent, this gal. Ho ho, you should have seen her in her hayday!
Mimzy: Hey, watch it tall, dark and creepy. I'm still in my prime!
Mimzy spots Lucifer in the open, and was immediately infuriated with the sight of the King of Hell.
Mimzy: Oh, oh my stars! *gasps* Is that Lucifer? *pushes Pentious out of the way* Move it! Pleased to meetcha, Your Highness. *whispering* Alastor, you gotta warn a girl when she's in mixed company.
Lucifer: Charmed, I'm sure.
Alastor: As much as I'd love to catch up, Charlie and I have a tour to continue.
Lucifer heard this and takes his daughter by the arms before dragging her front.
Lucifer: I'm sure Charlie can handle showing me around.
Alastor: *appears in front* Nonsense! *grabs Charlie and drags her forward* We started the hotel together, and we'll show it off together. Right, Charlie?
Charlie: Oh, right.
As Charlie leads on with Vaggie and Lucifer following behind, Alastor turns to Mimzy.
Alastor: Why don't you let the others help you settle in, and I'll be back before you know it.
And with that, Alastor leaves to follow the tour. Mimzy turns to the bar where Crystal and Jesse were sitting and having drinks. Mimzy walks up to get a drink with them. Jesse began playing a soft tune as Mimzy joined them.
Mimzy: So, where can a girl get a drink around here?
Husk doesn't like Mimzy's company and groans in irritation as he cleans a glass. Mimzy takes a seat and notices him.
Mimzy: My, my, is that Husker? Alastor still has you slinging hooch for him, I see. *chuckles* Classic! How ya been, fur ball?
Husk: Good! Until five minutes ago.
Mimzy: Oh, don't tell me you're not happy to see me. You might hurt my feelings. *giggles*
While Husk gets a drink for Mimzy, she turns to Niffty who was looking for the bugs that were scattering on the floor.
Mimzy: Hey Niffty, whatcha' been up to, girlie?
Niffty: Fighting bugs.
Mimzy: And uh, how's that going for ya?
Niffty: They're winning.
Niffty turns to one of the bug she sees and sadistically pulls out a large knife with a insane smile.
Niffty: But not for long.
Mimzy: Uh-huh... *a glass was given to her* Thanks, pussy cat!
Husk: Oh, fuck you.
As Husk leaves the bar, Jesse and Crystal join Mimzy.
Mimzy: Oh, hello there fellas. *smiles*
Crystal: Uh hi, Mimzy right? Nice to meet you! I love your dress, it's so adorable.
Mimzy: Aww, thank you sweet pea. You're a doll.
Crystal: I actually know a thing or two about dress designing. I work for Velvette in fact.
Mimzy: Oh that's wonderful! I hope I can try your dresses one day.
Jesse: Yeah, she's been giving me outfit ideas for my future concerts.
Mimzy: Ooo, who's your hunk of a friend here?~
Jesse: Jesse, future celebrity rockstar, my dear sheila.
He takes her hand and kisses it, sparking a giggle from her.
Mimzy: Hehe, a charmer too~
Crystal: And unfortunately for you, already taken. The lady in which he has refused to tell me who.
Mimzy: Aww, bummer. Oh well, nice to meet 'cha handsome.
Jesse: Likewise.
Angel and Pentious takes up a seat right next to her.
Angel: So uh, you and Alastor are like, what? Friends?
Crystal: Yeah, what's up with that?
Mimzy: Well, that's your word, not mine, but I think it fits. Why so surprised?
Angel: Well, just didn't know he had any of those. He's been here a while and is still a big, creepy mystery. What's his deal?
Mimzy begins her tale by making a short flashback story of how Alastor came to be.
Mimzy: Well, you probably heard the stories. He appeared in Hell suddenly, making a splash quicker than anyone had ever seen. At first, people wanted to dismiss him. But soon, overlords started goin' missing, and not small ones neither. We're talking heavy hitters. No one knew what happened to 'em until these strange radio broadcasts started going out. All you could hear were screams. Every time an overlord went missing, there'd be a new voice screaming in the broadcast! That's when Alastor revealed himself as the Radio Demon, and anyone that would mess with him... *laughs* Well, let's just say, his broadcasts never lacked new voices.
A shadowy demon is seen holding a drink, which Alastor Takes out of his hand, in the next scene, Demons are seen dismissing him as another sinner, but then, in a dark alley, an unnamed Overlord is cornered by a sinister-looking Alastor, before it cuts to a female overlord, presumably Alastor's next victim. One by one, more overlord Demons disappeared, leaving only Alastor to reign supreme over all the others. Then, a radio tower sends neon green signal waves all over hell. The flashback story ends to the present where Mimzy was concluding her tale of Alastor before getting back to being nonchalant about him.
Mimzy: That's the story most people know, but underneath it all... he's a total sweetie. Put on some jazz and pour a couple fingers of rye and he becomes a kitten!
As Mimzy concludes her story, Angel and Pentious were spooked by Alastor's dark history in hell while Mimzy doesn't seemed bothered by their disturbance. Crystal and Jesse watched with interest.
Mimzy: Stop with the looks. He hasn't done any of that in a while. *raises a glass* Can I get another one of these?
Mimzy realized that Husk is nowhere in the bar or in the lobby, much to her annoyance.
Mimzy: Oh, what the fuck!
Meanwhile with Charlie and Lucifer, she was showing him around the hotel.
Charlie: So, once we have the proof that redemption is possible, this whole hotel will be full of demons wanting to check out into Heaven! We just need a little time to prove it. The sharing circles haven't been working as fast as I hoped-
While Charlie was in the middle of explaining everything to her father, Husk calls Alastor over.
Husk: Ey, Boss? Can I have a word...?
Alastor stops and twists his head 180 degrees to have his face turn to him before his body rotates.
Alastor: What is it?
Husk: You and I both know Mimzy only shows up when she needs somethin'. That bitch is trouble, and who knows what kind of demon she fucked with to come running to you this time?
Alastor: It's nothing I can't handle. Don't worry, Husker. Who in their right mind would cross me?
Husk: I mean... you've been gone a while, and it's not like anybody knows why.
Alastor: They don't need to know, and don't you worry your fuzzy head about it.
Alastor rubs Husk's ears which angers him.
Husk: *growls* You may own my soul, but I ain't your fucking pet!
Alastor: *chuckles* But you are! Haha!
Alastor turns around to join back with the tour.
Husk: *whispering* Big talk for someone who's also on a leash.
Alastor immediately halts after hearing this, his eyes turned into radio dials. The lights in the hallway flickered from his anger rising. Slowly, Alastor looks over his shoulder to Husk.
Alastor: Aha, what did you say?
Before Husk could even respond, a green chain pulls his neck before he's forced down. He realizes what he's done and tries to come up with an excuse.
Husk: Oh, fuck! Nothing! I, um...
Alastor slowly approaches him with the green chain twirling from his mic-stick. The more he steps closer, the lights flickers on and off from his anger.
Alastor: If you ever say that again, I will tear your soul apart and broadcast your screams for every other disrespectful wretch who dares to question me.
Alastor's threat makes Husk shiver in fear when he realizes he had crossed too far with him.
Husk: *scared* Understood.
Upon hearing that, the lights turn back to normal, and Alastor is back to his old jolly good self.
Alastor: Lovely. *chuckles* Good talk, my good man! Always nice to catch up.
Alastor leaves the shaking Husk on the floor. Husk was too scared to even move, and was left shivering in fear. Back to the tour, Vaggie was taking her turn explaining more about the hotel's role to redeeming demons so they can go to Heaven, most notably Angel Dust.
Vaggie: And we've almost been able to find all of Angel Dust's drug stashes... Almost.
Charlie: So, once that's out of the way it should be much smoother sailing.
Lucifer: Well, that certainly is, uh... is-is something.
Charlie: So... what do you think?
Lucifer: About what?
Charlie: The hotel.
Lucifer: Oh yes, it does... it does look much better now, doesn't it? *chuckles* Ya know, but I'm thinking this railing needs work, one good push and you'd just go right over the edge! Whoopie, bye bye! *chuckles*
Charlie: What? No, no, the plan, Dad! What do you think about using the hotel to help sinners?
Lucifer: *exhales* Alright, I mean, look... I love that you want to see the best in people, but these sinners... You know, they're just the worst. I, I don't know how much you can realistically expect from them in Heaven. *Adjusts his collar* Hohooo boy, Heaven is not exactly as carefree as you might think. Yeah, they have rules. Lots of rules, and they aren't very open minded as you'd hope.
Charlie: These are our people, Dad! I... I have to try.
Lucifer: Our "people", Charlie, are awful! They got gifted free will and look what they did with it! Everything's terrible! *wheeze* I just don't want you to put yourself on the line for people like—
Lucifer was interrupted when a loud thud shakes the hotel, rocking the three of them on the balcony.
Vaggie: Geez! What now?!
Lucifer: Well, like that.
To prove his point, Lucifer gesture to dozens of loan shark demon mafia on the ground. The loan shark mafia were armed to the teeth with guns, melee weapons, and a battering ram as they try to ram the front door open. The leader of the loan shark mafia looks up at the balcony.
Loan Shark: Mimzy! We know you're in there you lousy bitch!
Inside, the lobby, Mimzy realizes that the loan shark mafia found her and cartoonishly goes down in a sheepish wince, now already busted.
Mimzy: Oh, shit.
A portal opens up by Lucifer and all three of them return to the lobby as the loan shark mafia continues to ram the front door.
Vaggie: Que carajo?!
Charlie: What's going on?
Mimzy: I maaaaaaay be in trouble with some loan sharks I may or may not have borrowed fifty grand from—*loud thud* Eep!
Scared, Mimzy cowers behind the bar counter to hide before peeking up.
Loan Shark: You better come out!
Mimzy: And I may have also stolen a car... and crashed it... into the loan shark's girlfriend. But that bitch had it coming!
Before Charlie and Vaggie could even respond, the windows and the walls were barraged with fireballs from the outside. The windows crashed and the floors are hammered with fireballs. Charlie and Vaggie screamed as more fireballs came raining on them. Niffty was horrified that the windows were destroyed after cleaning it so long ago. Angel Dust scoots back to his seat after a fireball nearly hits him.
Crystal: Shit!!!
Jesse: Crikey!!!
Niffty: My windows!
Pentious realized what was happening while holding his baked cookies.
Pentious: Ah! We're under siege! *dodges a fireball* Ah! Take cover!
Everyone in the hotel scrambles in panic and defense as more fireballs fall down on them. Charlie dodges one of the fireballs close to her. Niffty was nearly crushed by one fireball before Angel picks her up, shocked.
Vaggie: Look out!
Angel: What the fuck?!
Angel throws Niffty out of the way, but she scurries around all over the lobby while Lucifer remains composed, oblivious to their dire situation. The lobby was on fire from the fireballs. Husk tries to put out the fire close to his bar, stomping on it in anger while Mimzy hides behind the counter. Angel runs for cover, and Pentious can be heard screaming as fireballs meteor through the windows. Crystal uses her magic to try and shield off some of the fireballs while Jesse uses his duel axes to slash them up. While everyone finds some cover, Lucifer gives Charlie a lecture that makes her angry enough to where her eye twitches.
Lucifer: Ya see, this is exaaactly what I'm talking about, Charlie. You build something nice, you invite people in and offer them everything and they just bring violence and chaos to your doorstep. It doesn't matter how well intentioned you are, they're always going to disappoint you.
Niffty was on the floor recovering the windows that were shattered, unaware that falling debris was about to crush her.
Pentious: Niffty, come along!
Pentious grabs Niffty before debris nearly crush her. Vaggie appears with her spear ready at arms.
Vaggie: All of you, get a safe distance. I'll take care of this.
Before Vaggie could go out to deal with the mafia, Alastor appears out of nowhere and places a hand on Vaggie's spear to lower it.
Alastor: Hold on my dear, looks like our two friends are about to show they're a force to be reckoned with.
Alastor points forward to Jesse and Crystal who were rushing in to fight the Loan Sharks.
Mimzy: What!? What good can they do!?
Alastor: Trust me, Mimzy. They have this.
Once outside, Crystal pulls out her spear and sprouts her wings, flying up and raining down blasts of magic beams on the sharks and stabbing a few more with her spear. Jesse starts playing his guitar, firing electricity at the sharks and shocking them. He starts to run in, splitting his guitar and chopping up more sharks with his axe blades.
Jesse: HAHAHA, You're all fucking dead mates!!!
Crystal: This is why you don't screw with a magic user!
Unfortunately, the two start to get outnumbered. Jesse is shot twice in the shoulder, causing him to let out a canine whine and gripping his shoulder. Crystal noticed a fireball hurling towards her and quickly puts up a shield. The shield blocks the fireball but unfortunately Crystal is hurt by the aftershock and falls screaming. Thankfully both of them are saved by Alastor and pulled back in.
Crystal: Whew, that was close.
Jesse: Yeah, thanks mate.
Alastor: Anytime, you both are doing well. Though it appears you may need some help.
Crystal: Gladly. *flips through grimoire pages*
Jesse: Anything that keeps me in a fight. *spins axe blade*
The two run outside and continue fighting.
Alastor: It's time I remind everyone why I am here.
Upon saying that sentence, Alastor turns demonic with his eyes turning to a radio dial. Mimzy pops up from the counter.
Mimzy: Oh, finally! Took ya long enough!
Alastor goes into his demonic form as a green aura lights up from the outside. The mafia outside were just about to reload their catapult when they notice the eerie greenish glow before Alastor turns to his sinister demon form.
Alastor: A reminder to all, not to mess with the Radio Demon! *evil laugh*
With Alastor now in his demon form, he expands his tentacle tendrils outside where one smashes the catapult, the other killing several mafia gangsters. The remaining gangsters panic at the sight of the radio demon's magic.
Mimzy: Yeah!
Jesse: *chops a head off another Loan Shark* Haha! Another one bites the dust! *see's Alastor* Oh shit, they're fucked.
Crystal: *blasts a Loan Shark behind Jesse* You can say that again.
Alastor's body grows larger and limbs become longer before exiting the front door with a sinister unmoving grin.
Alastor: I will devour each and every one of you!
Alastor heads out to massacre the mafia for attacking the hotel. As he exits the front door, Mimzy, Charlie, and Lucifer come out to watch the bloodbath. Charlie was totally appalled that Alastor is truly terrifying and maliciously monstrous. Lucifer nodded once to make his point. Lucifer lectures Charlie about the sinners while Alastor devours and kills the mafia outside with Jesse and Crystal. Body parts spread all over the front door, while Lucifer was oblivious to the mess.
Lucifer: Mhm, ya see? What I tell ya? Charlie, sinners are violent psychopaths, hell bent on causing as much pain and destruction as they can. There's really no point in trying.
Charlie: Dad, stop! He's defending this hotel! *turning to see Alastor eating a mafia loan shark* It may be a bit more sadistic than I'd hoped, but he's doing it for me! How come he can have faith in me but my own father can't?
Nearby, behind the turned table, Angel, Pentious, and Husk saw the melodrama that was occurring between Lucifer and Charlie.
Angel: Ooh, drama.
Excited, Angel gets out a bucket of popcorn to watch the scene unfold. Husk also picks up a handful of popcorn to eat. Outside, Alastor has finished massacring the mafia as he shrinks back down to his usual self, now satisfied that he's killed a lot of demons today. Crystal pulls her spear out of three bodies and wipes the blood off while Jesse plays a finishing tune.
Alastor: Oh, I missed getting to let off steam!
Crystal: A little more sloppy then I'd hoped, but still cool.
Jesse: Cool? That was metal as fuck! We rocked!!!
Mimzy checks outside if the coast was clear before approaching to Alastor.
Mimzy: Oh, Alastor! What a fantastic show! Bravo! As always. Thanks for helpin' lil' old me out of a tough spot, you're always such a pal! And you two! *to Jesse and Crystal* You were amazing! I'm surprised you aint' overlords yet.
Crystal: Well, we were offered, but declined.
Jesse: We're tempted though.
The two head back inside while railroad debris falls close to Mimzy, making her back away in surprise.
Mimzy: Oops. Heheheh... sorry about the mess, but I'm sure the lil' bug can take care of it for ya.
Alastor: I think you should go, Mimzy. Now.
Mimzy: Oh pff, Alastor, you're such a kidder, you! Haha, you are so funny!
Alastor: I mean it. You deliberately brought danger to this place just to have me clean up your mess. I can't have that here.
Mimzy: But you love takin' care a' me! What? You don't actually give a shit about this tacky place, do ya? Come on. I know you.
Mimzy pokes his chest with every word in the sentence.
Mimzy: You *pokes his chest* heartless *pokes* son- *pokes* of- *pokes* a- *pokes* bitch~
Alastor casually moves her finger away. He moves around Mimzy before standing in front of her with his microphone stick placed in front.
Alastor: You are welcome if you actually want to give redemption a shot, but I think we both know that's not really your style, so you need to leave.
Mimzy: Well, fine! Who needs ya? Have fun with ya little princess and ya little hotel. See if I care.
Insulted and offended, Mimzy turns around and flips Alastor off before walking away. Husk was rather amused before turning back to the melodrama between Charlie and Lucifer, now with a bucket of popcorn of his own. Angel has his, but he also has a drink to go along with it. Pentious was holding a TV guide by Vox. Crystal watched with worry with Jesse.
Crystal: Should we like, step in?
Angel: Nah, this is really getting good.
In a heartfelt scene, Lucifer retreats to the lobby while Charlie follows him behind.
Charlie: Dad... just... help me.
Lucifer: I... I can't.
Charlie: Why can't you?
Lucifer: Charlie! You don't understand. Heaven never listens. They didn't listen to me. They won't listen to you.
Charlie: You don't know that!
Lucifer: I do!

As the song ends, Lucifer and Charlie returns to the lobby after traveling across the dimension to a mystical place. Pentious was teary after seeing the sweet tendered moment between Lucifer and Charlie.
Pentious: Aww, that was ssssweet.
Lucifer: Okay, I can get you the meeting, but once you're in Heaven, I won't be able to go with you. Will you be ok?
Charlie: I'll be fine.
Lucifer: That's my girl. *sighs* Good luck kiddo.
Lucifer walks over to Crystal and hugs her.
Crystal: It was good to see you again, Luci. Until next time.
Lucifer: Always, oh and here! A little gift I whipped up for you.
Lucifer pulls out a rubber duck that was wearing Crystal's outfit and carried a book. Crystal's eyes sparkled as she hugged the duck.
Crystal: Aww, so cute!
Lucifer: You're welcome. And Jesse, about that thing I mentioned. About having not seen one of you in a while? There are other hybrids in the city, you're not alone.
Jessie smiles and wiped a tear, nodding.
Jessie: I'll look after them if I must.
Lucifer: Thank you.
Jesse: Hey, one more question. Is the song true? The Devil went Down to Georgia?
Lucifer: Oh that! Yeah, it's true, I lost. Johnny boy in the end ended up being mugged for it and was killed, so I got the last laugh in the end.
Jesse: Oh, wow.
Lucifer: It was a fiddle of literal gold, what did you expect? But, it was good meeting you, and also. *Gives the devil horn hand gesture and smiles* Rock on, dude!
Jesse: Haha, Rock n Roll is my life, mate.
And with that, Lucifer turns into a violet red mist before disappearing away from the lobby. Vaggie comes over to talk to Charlie with uncertainty.
Vaggie: This next part is going to be scary. You ready?
Charlie: I'm ready, *hugs Vaggie* cause you'll be with me.
Vaggie looks reluctant, hoping she does not mean 'physically being in heaven'
Vaggie: In spirit, right?
Charlie: In Heaven!
Vaggie: Yay!
