Aftermath
(Eh what the hell let's get in that last chapter before April)
The Asylum has been claimed.
Crowds all over Pride gathered around all forms of media whether they be cell phones, TVs, newspapers all forms were broadcasting the same information.
The news spread like wildfire all over. Alerting and confirming to all that the island all thought to be impossible to claim was now under ownership from a new comer.
And conversations were breaking out all over the ring.
"Well fuck me sideways, someone actually pulled it off!" An octopus sinner muttered watching the broadcast on his phone with a look of complete disbelief. Nearby a Bee sinner snorted. "Never thought I'd see the day." She muttered as while taking a drag from her cigaret.
"Damn right." The octopus muttered while rubbing his scalp with several of his tentacles before going ramrod straight as his eyes widened. "You know I had a job at the docks there before all this shit happened. Think there's a chance I can get it back?" He questioned with the bee woman giving a shrug with an annoyed look on her face.
"How the hell should I know?"
Elsewhere
"No chance those little brats are gonna appreciate that place! Lost my fucking home when they set the asylum up!" A golem sinner growled crushing the empty beer bottle in his hand while the rest of the patrons just rolled their eyes, having heard all this before.
"New place is a piece of shit too!" He growled further getting dry looks from the others. "You know the newcomer might be planning to opening the city up to sell the property, so there's a chance you could get it back." The bar tender muttered dryly only for the golem to snarl.
"Fuck that!"
Elsewhere Still
"See that boys?! Our new home is waiting for us!" A samurai sinner roared with a crazed smile on his face as he addressed his gang. "Once we kill those little shits we'll have the resources and reputation to take over all of Pride!" He cackled getting roars of approval from his gang.
No matter which way one would turn
"Morons are wasting their time." Another sinner muttered in boredom. "Doesn't matter how many waves they repel, the asylum can't be held forever."
Or who one asked
"That place is cursed!" A crazed sinner screamed at the top of his lungs. "Doesn't matter who tries to own it, they'll just be destroyed by the curse before it spreads to the rest of us just mark my words.
Or what they thought
" I'm telling you guys if we can join up with this new overlord we'll be set for life." A young sinner proposed to his friends who had looks of mixed doubt and hope
It seems for better or for worse
"He's got an alley in the radio demon, and was apparently the one who stopped the extermination, that's gotta count for something right?" Another sinner asked his friend who looked doubtful.
"But how much of that was the psycho boasting? And why haven't we seen anything from the kid since then?" His friend asked.
Izuku's reputation was slowly forming in one shape or another.
Klub Kaiju
"Holy Shit, Little Green actually did it!" Zezzi laughed as she downed another beer before eating a hell hog whole. Her entire club was in an uproar with the party going full swing as the news coverage ended. It was a wild ride through the entire show and add on how one sided it was the entire club was hooting and hollering through it all.
"Holy shit boss, is that really the guy you meet at Lucifer's place?" One of Zeezi's lieutenants asked and Zeezi grinned. "You're damn right it is Tod!" She laughed looking down at the sinner.
Tod nodded while hearing this. "So you gonna try and get an another Klub Kaiju on the island?" He asked getting a snort from the overlord. "Bet your ass I am! That place is prime real-estate waiting to happen and I'm the kinda girl who goes hunting for what she wants!" Zeezi smirked. "Besides I already know Little Green so there's that going for me." Here her grin turned much more predatory.
"Besides if worst comes to worst I've got other methods to convince him." Zeezi said as a slightly perverted look came to her face causing Tod to roll his eyes. "So is no actually going to comment that there's an actual living human down here in hell?" A salamander sinner asked with a dragon sitting nearby to raise an eyebrow. "All the crazy shit we just watched and your concern is that he's human?" He asked and the salamander opened his mouth to answer before giving it a moment's thought before ultimately giving a shrug.
"Fair enough." He conceited as the party returned full swing.
Cannibal Town
"Yes! Yes! I know you all want a piece of the remains from the battle at the asylum but just know there's already a waiting list and the price is rather steep." A cheerful female voice echoed cheerfully through the halls.
This was Rosie and an overlord of Hell and the owner of Rosie's emporium. Formerly known as Franklin and Rosie's until Franklin broke off their agreement and tired to take part of the asylum.
He would not be welcomed back.
Rosie was writing down more orders with a smile while making sure she had enough in stock. "Don't you worry people Alastor has always pulled through when he makes a promise, you'll get everything you order or your souls back!" Rosie promised to the excited populous who were already discussing what they planned to do or make with their orders.
Rosie meanwhile smiled warmly at the mention of her old friend and her eyes briefly drifted towards a newspaper clipping of Izuku's group after the end of the battle. She picked up the article and looked at it fondly. "Oh Alastor." She sighed as she gazed at his part of the picture. "I can't remember the last time I saw you smile like that."
It was no secret that the radio demon was almost always smiling but Rosie as one of his closest and oldest friends could tell when he was just giving a smile for the sake of it and when he was genuinely happy. And the smile she was looking at was a large and genuine one as he had his arms wrapped around husk and the human boy.
'Just who is this boy?' She questioned to herself, wandering how he got to hell in the first place and what kind of effect he had on Alastor. And while she didn't know exactly what the relationship was she could take a guess. 'I always warned him about biting off more than he could chew.' She thought with a nod and feeling a smirk on her face as she was already preparing the 'I told you so.' 'Or maybe I should get him to say I was right.' The overlord thought with the smirk growing wider
Well regardless she wanted to meet the boy, set him down, and have a nice long talk with him. His story is bound to be entertaining if Alastor seems as happy as he does. 'Besides I need to make sure he doesn't pick up any bad habits from Alastor.' Rosie thought with a stern nod.
As good as friend as Alastor was a good role model he was not.
"Miss.Rosie. We have a problem." One of her regulars came up to her with a troubled expression on his face causing Rosie to grow a confused look. What could possibly?
Suddenly her expression went flat.
"Don't tell me. Susan?" She asked her tone flat but still filled with annoyance.
"Susan." He confirmed with a nod as shouts of both annoyance and fear were reaching her ears from outside.
Uhhh Susan.
Face off Theater
Face off Theater, the premiere spot for those looking to show their love and appreciation for stage while sharing their visions with Hell while the audience sits back and enjoys while hecklers are quickly and quite publicity dealt with.
At the moment there was someone currently on stage shrouded in darkness. "The gem of Pride, seized by a youth. Could this be an omen for change, and the start of a new era?" A voice so laced with misery and woe they sounded like they were about to break into never ending tears.
And then there was cackling.
"Or could it be he is not but Icarus, flying to close to the sun and will inevitably fall just as dawned as the rest of us, crashing and burning along with so many hopes and dreams?" They questioned while still cackling despite the morbid question.
And than the spotlights turned on and the figure was revealed.
This was Joy & Misery, overlord of theatre and owner and founder of the Face off Theatre . However they were also known as Joy the laughing pessimist and Misery the weeping optimist.
Extending their arm and taking a step forward the overlord looked towards rows of seats. "For now the merry band celebrates and enjoys the ambrosia of the victory of their labor." They spoke as one before Misery took over. "Will they be kind enough to extend their hands to others who wish to seize opportunities themselves?" The crying mask hoped. "Or will they horde every little treasure for themselves. leaving everyone else to starve on their scraps?" Joy laughed sounding close to being out of breath by the end.
And than they spread their arms wide and once again spoke as one.
"Only time knows the answer to that one."
The Nest
The nest, biggest music studio in all of hell was currently busting with activity as song writers, musicians and producers were scrambling to meet deadlines, find needed material for their projects or genuine trying their best to stay relevant.
At the absolute top of the tower however was the owner's office, Usually immaculate and well kept was currently a mess. Papers and writing instruments thrown all over while musical instruments were lying all over the ground. Muttering was heard going at a rapid pace as the sole occupant zoomed over the room zipping from one section to the next as the sounds of pencil scraping on paper could be heard.
This was Songbird, overlord of music and owner of music and founder of the nest. Right now however none of that seemed to matter to the sinner as he zoomed around the room like a demon possessed. "An opera of woe for those poor sinners who have to suffer in pain or humiliation, a full metal song about the war or maybe even a K-pop on about their victory?" Songbird nearly squealed.
At last, at long last insertion had finally hit him again! When he first arrived Songbird like many overlords thrived quickly and rose to power, and during that time inspiration never seemed to leave him as he discovered a literal new world. Only for that to slowly fade as soon even this new and excited life began to become mundane.
But now his inspiration was flowing once again as it seems the gears of fate were once again starting to turn. "First the extermination was thwarted and then the asylum was calmed!" He let out a loving coo before his head turned to the desk were a picture of Izuku was laying.
"Oh my new little muse! I can't meet you! To hear your story and to write an untold epic that will ring through out hell till the end of time!" He nearly cried wanting to meet the green haired young man that lit a fire in his heart once more.
Inkwell Studios.
The two animation studio in all of hell was a sight to be hold. Looking to be taken out of a stretch and squish cartoon with many of the employees there resembling characters from said cartoons. Normally it was a nice and easy going place with a song always in the air as everyone went about their jobs with a spring in their step.
No thought everyone was hustling and bustling as writers and animators after having watched the war at the asylum inspiration hit each and everyone of them like a truck and each and every one was nearly flooding the studio with pages upon pages of ideas and story boards.
At the heart of this was none other than Joey Drew himself, the ink demon, overlord of animation as well as founder and CEO of Inkwell Studios.
Joey was currently at his desk, humming to himself as he sketched in his own notebook of a green haired boy and his entourage of misfits defending their home from invaders using traps and tricks to make a fools out of everyone who tries.
Chuckling after finishing his latest drawing Joey stretched his arms as he leaned back in his chair. "Well Alastor I must admit you've definitely gotten yourself into something interesting." He chuckled as he played with a pen in his hands.
"And I can't wait to see what it causes me to think of next."
Black Hat Organization.
"So uh... should we try poking him?:
"Are you trying to fucking die again?"
"He hasn't moved in 36 hours, what else are we supposed to do?
"What else? Leave the psychopath alone and let him snap out of it himself."
This discussion was being held by two sinners, each wearing a red and black uniform with a black bowler hats.
As they finished their discussion they turned and looked over towards the object of their discussion as well as their boss. Black Hat, overlord of the black market as well as founder and current leader of the Black Hat Organization.
Currently he was starring out the window of his office and gazing down at the city with a grin that nearly split his face in two and eyes burning with an intensity no one who worked there had seen in decades.
They were also pretty sure they hadn't seen him blink in two days either.
On the other side of the room was a large tv with the war at the asylum being replayed on a continuous loop.
The two sinners were about to leave until a long shuddering sigh entered their ears and both shuddered as if the temperature had dropped dozens of degrees. Slowly and almost robotically the two turned just in time to see their boss move for the first time and days and place his hand gently on the window.
"At last." Came the whisper from the overlord and the two sinners glanced at each other before wisely choosing to leave the room. "Finally after so so long." He continued before his face became fully demonic and with a single push every frame of glass shattered.
"Someone worth my time has appeared!" He roared while cackling in glee.
For to long, the number of people who could challenge was almost none existent. Lucifer and Lilith didn't care one way or another about his work. Zestial, Alastor, Zeezi, Joey, Songbird and Joy & Misery had no reason to go against him, though Zesital, Zeezi and Alastor sometimes did when they were bored enough. And while Carmella was the top arms dealer in hell, he held the reins on so many other fields it didn't even matter. While Rosie was the best informant in Hell and provided him with information that allowed him to come out on top more times than he could count.
As for the rest of the pound sludge, none of them could compare and never tried to going directly up against him knowing where they stood. But this new guy, this Izuku Midoriya was going to make things fun again! He had already proven himself worthy of his attention.
"Oh the fun we're going to have!" He said nearly salivating already imaging the fights, plots, destruction, laughter and sabotage that would erupt from the fights between the two of them.
'And if the boy says no." Here Black Mask chuckled darkly. "There are always other means to get one's compliance."
Lucifer's Mansion.
As the rest of hell was in the middle of the chaos Lucifer along with Zestial and Carmella were watching the news with various stages of amusement especially as Katie Killjoy appeared on screen looking far more stressed than she did a few days prior. Unkept hair, smeared and ruined make up, disheveled clothes and her eyes were bloodshot to the point of the entire iris being red.
"There's still no news or sightings about Izuku Midoriya after his triumph at the asylum 2 days ago." Here Killjoy looked around frantically as if to make sure he didn't spawn in behind her. "But we'll make sure to keep you posed." She finished as Tom was looking at her with no small amount of amusement and vindictive pleasure.
"Well our young friend certainly seems to have left an impression." Zestial chuckled in amusement with Lucifer soon joining up. "Indeed. I've seen just as many things about him being the next end bringer of hell, whatever the hell that is to many groups planning cults around him." The king of hell chortled loving moments like this when his citizens went of the deep end.
It always proved to bee a great show.
Carmella however was not so amused. "Was it truly necessary to give out Izuku's name to the public?" She asked. "He already had enough to worry about, but now he has all this nonsense." She told the king who waved it off. "It was bound to come out sooner or later I just sped up the process a little." Here Lucifer gave a smirk. "Besides it was Young Velvet if I recall her name correctly that first revealed his name, not I." Lucifer reminded her causing the weapons dealer to huff in annoyance.
Zestial couldn't help but get in on the fun. "My already worried for the boy and his privacy. It's rare you warm up to anyone this fast." The most ancient overlord smirked causing Carmella to turn her glance towards him. "He completed the challenge I gave him and his forces kept my girls safe durning the battle. Is it any wonder that my concern and my interest would grow for him?" She asked while adding that last bit to avoid the question she knew would come next.
The two men chuckled at the play before Lucifer took a brief concern to the room where Charlie sat, a look of concern on her face as she kept her eyes on her face. Sighing Lucifer got up from his seat and walked over to the princess. "Do not fret my candy apple I'm sure Izuku will respond soon." He told his daughter who gave a weak smile but still looked unsure.
Everyone in the room knew Izuku was still asleep but everyone agreed to just let him wake up on his own. Even Charlie knew he was probably just exhausted from the fighting especially after his last trick but still she couldn't help worry.
Seeing this Lucifer frowned for a moment before his eyes lit up. "So exactly how many text messages have you sent the boy?" He asked a teasing smile on his face which grew wider when he heard his daughter groan. "Just a few..... dozen." She admitted embarrassed both at admitting it and in front of the two overlords.
Lucifer could help the laughter that escaped his lips. That had been a habit Charlie had ever since she was young. Whenever she worried about someone she would message them constantly often going into ramblings that had nothing to do with the situation. One would think that once the person responded she would settle down but it only seemed to motivate her to talk some more.
Patting her head Lucifer gave his daughter another teasing but warm smile. "Well I'm sure he'll appreciate the gesture." He reassured her causing the princess to groan as she curled up into a ball and covered her face in her hands causing Lucifer to laugh as he walked back to his friends .
Line break.
Vaggie walked down the streets of heaven with a heavier frown than normal on her face. It had been days since the failed extermination and she was still reeling from it. Her sisters for the most part seemed to have already moved on but she did notice that more than a few were training harder than ever before, so she was grateful for that at least.
Not her though as one of the three that came closest to perishing down there, failure hit her harder than the others. And out of the other two only Adam was left and there was no way in any realm she was going to be around him more than strictly necessary. So that left her to figure things out on her own, luckily everyone was kind enough or at least smart enough to see her mood and give her the space she needed.
Releasing a sigh she rubbed her head. "What am I going to do?" She muttered in annoyance and a moment later a groan of annoyance escaped her lips as music played through Heaven. "Ah I hate this song." She muttered and glanced over to the golden gates.
The song in question was "Welcome to Heaven." And played whenever souls passed through. Seemingly impossible considering the death rate but what most don't know is that Heaven holds souls in purgatory until certain times each day than does it in abundance so these invloved went constantly being dragged away from whatever they were doing.
Vaggie kept watching as the song ended and the angels started to disperse. However her eyes landed one particular angel causing them to widen. 'That's it!' She thought a grin spreading across her lips as she began to change after her target. 'Maybe she can help me figure this out and get out of this funk.' With hope in her heart she did her beast to keep up with the angel.
To her confusion the angel landed a few miles away and it was only due to her own winds that she managed to keep up. Landing softly she watched the angel let out a sigh. "Glad that's over." She muttered before reaching up and pulling out something from her ears.
"Ear plugs?" Vaggie whispered but not quietly enough because her target must have heard her causing her to yelp and turn around to face the exterminator.
Vaggie jumped too at the sudden moment and landed unceremoniously on the ground. "Damn it." She muttered before picked herself up and gave a nervous smile, "Uhh.. hi Ms.Emily ." Was all she managed to say. Emily the seraphim angel also gave a nervous smile. "Hiiii uhhh." She stalled trying desperately to remember if she had meet this woman before,
"It's Vaggie." The exterminator quickly said. "And no we haven't meet before. I just know your name because well who doesn't know you up here?" She answered quickly and Emily let out a breathe she didn't know she was holding. "Well than it's great to meet you Vaggie." Emily exclaimed while a cheerful smile, one that Vaggie couldn't help but give back.
"Thanks, it's great to meet you too." She told the angel before an awkward smile came to her face. "So what was with the ear plugs?" She could help but ask. Emily went bright right at that. You saw that?" She squeaked and Vaggie gave a guilty nod. Emily gave a solemn sigh. "It was bound to come out sooner or later I guess." She before giving her best winning smile.
"So you know how one of my jobs is to take part in the song Welcome to Heaven multiple times a day?" She asked with far too much cheer. Here Vaggie gave a slow nod. "Well it turns out that dong something like that multiple times a day every day doesn't help with one's sanity." Here Emily was starting to look a little shaky. "And so \ day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day." Emily just seemed to keep repeating it and Vaggie was growing more and more concerned especially when Emily started looking more and more deranged.
Luckily Emily needed to take a breathe and that seemed to snap her out of it. "So I decided I needed to think of something and considering how the song hasn't changed once and I know everything by heart these earplugs were just what the doctor ordered." Emily finished her explanation looking completely back to normal.
"Right." Vaggie muttered awkwardly before looking away. "Anyway the reason I came to you is that I was hoping you could give me some advice." She said and Emily beamed. "Absolutely! Let's walk and talk, not many people use this road this time of day so It'll be perfect." She told the exterminator who gave a grateful smile.
"Thanks." She told the seraphim as they began their walk.
"So what is it that you wanted to talk about?" Emily asked and Vaggie nearly tripped over herself. 'Shit! I didn't think this through!' Vaggie shouted in her head. The exterminaiton while necessary for the balance was kept hidden from the rest of Heaven. The story being that the sinners that were deemed the least heinous were given a chance to reincarnate if only to keep that balance in order.
Only the very top knew about the extermination and Lady Sera in one of the only times that Vaggie has meet the older seraphim made it very clear that the younger angel would have no knowledge of the act for as long as possible.
Still Vaggie had to think of something and she had to do it quick.
"Vaggie?" Emily asked tilting her head in confusion and concern. 'Shit! Shit Shit! Come on think of something?!' Vaggie screamed at herself hating her inability to lie. Finally she managed to blurt out "I was attacked by a monster in Hell!" before clamping both hands over her mouth and looked around frantically to see if anyone had over heard.
Luckily it seemed that no one was around except the two of them with Emily looking at her with shock and wonder. "You've been to Hell? Really?!" She asked having always been curious at what the place was like Suddenly a look of relaxation came over her. "Wait is this related to what happened to Adam's lieutenant?!" She questioned having picked up bits and pieces from Sera but given no real answers. With no other choice Vaggie was forced to continue albeit very carefully.
"Yeah me and my sisters go down there to uhh help with pest control" She tired to keep her smile on her face with containing her flinch when saying 'pest control.' It seemed to work thought as Emily immediately stopped in her tracks with stars in her eyes. "That's incredible!" She gushed as she started bouncing up and down. "Do you guys and the people of hell team up to fight these pets?!" She asked and Vaggie had to fight to keep the violent flinch from happening.
"Not exactly, They're preoccupied with other matters when we're fighting." Vaggie tried to wave off. "Anyway!" She said quickly before the higher ranked angel could ask anymore questions. "The reason I wanted to talk is because of what happened during the most recent one." Vaggie said glad she was able to get to the heart of the matter.
"During this time before we could start fighting a single of these creatures appeared." Vaggie said slowly before sighing and shaking her head. "It was a stalemate for a while but eventually it started overpowering us." Vaggie continued shuddering at the memory. She didn't even go into the mass blackout the sinner caused because she was still trying to figure that out.
"Anyway Adam and Lute went down first and I a few seconds later." She explained while looking down. "I saw a few seconds of the battle before I was buried under a mountain of rocks where the most I could do is listen to the massacre." Vaggie was sounding more and more agitated, frustrated and scared. "I thought I was going to be left behind for sure but when the rocks collapsed and I gave face to face with the monster I knew I was going to die." Vaggie sparred a glance towards Emily who seemed terrified.
"That was until he pointed to the portal leading back to Heaven and told me to leave." Here Emily gasped. "He just let you go?!" Emily squeaked getting a nod from Vaggie. "Yeah said he was tired of fighting for the day and just told me to piss off." Vaggie confirmed. "I didn't exactly hesitate and flew straight towards the portal. Only looking back long enough to make sure he wasn't going to pull anything." Here Vaggie looked down. "I flew through the portal and a few minutes later Adam did the same with Lute's halo." Vaggie said ending her story. Emily seeing her look thought for a few moments before a smile crossed her face.
"Well than maybe Lute is still alive down there."
Vaggie's head snapped towards Emily who was maintaining her smile. At her silent question Emily continued her line of thought. "Well if he was kind enough to let all of you live, maybe he was kind enough to help get Lute to safety too." Emily knew she was reaching with her theory but still she couldn't help it, that kind of optimism was part of her very core.
Vaggie looked much more unsure. "Maybe." She muttered despite every bit of her brain telling her the lieutenant was dead by now and that's if she was lucky. "Still it doesn't change the fact that theres' something down there that can crush our entire squad by himself." Vaggie said rubbing her arm. "That doesn't bode will for the future." She whispered and Emily hummed and once more went into thought.
"Well maybe there's another way." She suggested causing Vaggie to blink in confusion. "I mean these pest don't seem to bother the denizens of Hell right?" Emily questioned and Vaggie had to hold back the laugh that threatened to escape and settled with a shake of the head. "Well than maybe you can find a way to make peace with them." Emily said with a bright smile.
OH if only she knew what she was suggesting. Vaggie knew such a thing was impossible. First there was the balance, always handing over their heads to worry about so that would have to be settled first. And even if it was she didn't think the citizens of hell would be willing to just let go of all the hatred and resentment that's been building up for eons due to the exterminations.
Still it was nice to get this off her chance. "Thanks for listening Emily though I'm not sure how we'd go about doing something like that." Vaggie told the seraphim who smiled at the first part but then frowned for a moment at the second before the smile retuned as she got an idea.
"Well there's no harm in trying is there?" Emily asked and Vaggie suddenly had a very bad feeling. "Don't worry Vaggie!" Emily said as she started to fly in the air. "I'll find a way to get us to Hell so we can find and talk to this guy ourselves. It'll be great , you'll see!" Emily beamed and missed the look of shock and horror from Vaggie.
Without giving Vaggie a chance to respond Emily flew off to start her new self appointed mission leaving a gaping mouth Vaggie staring in horror.
God damn it from the frying pan to the fucking fire!
Line break
"I'm telling you Izu, things have been crazy when you were taking your little snooze." Velvet said as she and Izuku walked down the hallway to the main living room where Izuku could sense the others were waiting for them. "Yeah no kidding." Izuku muttered looking countless articles about him over various social media on his Hell Phone.
He honestly didn't know what was worse, the rumors going around on what he was planning next or the fact that there were numerous offers to join him for said acts.
"Yeah, It's been fucking wild!" Velvet cackled as she typed away on her new phone. One that was left behind when this place was abandoned. It was old but it would work until she could get her hands on the newest model.
Suddenly a blur shoot past them causing Velvet to snort. "Speaking of wild." She muttered as the blur stopped for a single second before zooming straight over towards Izuku and before climbing him and stopping inches away from his face.
"A man! Finally a real man!" The tiny cyclops cackled while gripping the sides of Izuku's shirt. "Hi I'm Nifty want to be friends?!" She asked and Izuku despite everything he had just experienced with the scarlet king was somehow taken back by this strange new individual. "Sure?" He asked more than stated but it was enough for Nifty who jumped on Izuku's head as she laughed in triumph. "HA HA! Yes stage one is complete!" She roared before hunching over and interlocked her fingers. "Now for stage two." She whispered almost demonically leaving Izuku more and more confused.
Luckily Velvet had already a little experience with her so with a point in the direction she made her presences know to the cyclops. "Hi Nif, think you missed a patch of dirt in the other room there." She muttered and there was a gasp, "Oh that wont do at all." Nifty muttered with a dark glare before zooming off into the room to look for the algid dirt. With Izuku looking bewildered and Velvet rolling her eyes. "Yeah that's Nifty, She's one of the sinners whose souls you own. Alastor brought her in and she's been cleaning up the place ever since." Velvet explained having to hand it to the psychoclops, the woman knew how to clean.
Izuku could only hum at that as he glanced down at his phone once again and his eyes immediately darted to his messages where there was close to 8 dozen messages, all from Charlie. Velvet snickered when she noticed this. "It's rude to keep a woman waiting Izu~" She chimed in and Izuku groaned but nodded as Izuku opened up his messages and gave a quick but detailed explanation and apology.
Considering it the best he could do at the moment Izuku and Velvet continued on their way until they were right out side the meeting area where they meet another new face guarding the door,
"Izuku this is Cleo, a Hellborn and the first of the Asylum's new security detail." Velvet introduced. Cleo stood tall with her hands behind her back and bowed her head, "A pleasure to finally meet you sir. As Miss.Velvet said I'm Cleo and I'm looking forward to working with you." The Hellebore introduced herself. Izuku nodded. "Nice to have you Cleo. I gotta admit I'm surprised you decided to work with us." Izuku told the shark woman who shrugged. "I was considering joining a mafia family down in Greed but figured this would prove more beneficial."
Izuku nodded at the reasoning as Cleo moved and opened the door. "Right this way please." She gestured with the two passing through as Cleo closed the door behind them. "You sure seem to know your stuff Velvet." Izuku muttered with the woman giving a shrug. "What can I say Luv, concerning Where we are I felt the need to study up the best I could." Velvet explained before looking away. "Speaking of which I need to talk to you about something important." She told him.
However before she could go any further the doors on the other side of the room burst open with Lurker and Doll looking around frantically until their eyes landed on Izuku and relief burst into both of them. "OH THANK GOD!" They both shouted rushing to hug him, toppling into him and causing them to collapse.
"Oh thank you! Thank you for being alive boss so we don't have to go back to Alastor!" Lurker wept with Dolly nodding frantically. "No kidding, I don't know what I would do if that psychopath owned our souls again!" She cried only for the two of them to freeze when a familiar static was heard. "So happy to see the lasting impression I left on you." Alastor hummed as he, the other overlords and Lute came in.
Lute looked noticeably relived to see him again and the same could be said about the other overlords. "It's a relief to see you back with us my dear." Countess sauntered up to him with Don nodding. "Yeah we just got this place, it be real pain in the fucking ass if we lose it. That and we don't know what'll happen to the powers you gave us if you bite the big one." Don reasoned getting nods from all around.
"Still it's good to have you back Kid." Husk said lifting his beer bottle up with Surgeon and Chief nodding in agreement. Creeper didn't say anything tangleable but he did make a series of what sounded like happy noises.
Lute just offered him a nod before turning to Velvet. "So did he accept your offer?" She asked and immediately all eyes were on her. Velvet just breathed through her nose. " I was about to ask him when those two burst in." She said while gesturing to Dolly and Lurker who just smiled sheepishly.
Sighing but not seeing any reason to to stop now Velvet turned to Izuku. "Izu. I want to make a deal with you." She stated and Izuku sighed, having a suspicion that was the case. "Terms?" He asked. "In exchange for my soul. I'd like your protection and the freedom to travel through the rings of Hell. And maybe down the line a power if it's possible." She said while extending her hand.
Izuku stared at it for several seconds before sighing. "You do know what your asking and the kind of power your placing in my hands we go though with this don't you?" He questioned and Velvet nodded. "Yeah I do, this lot explained it to me and everything something like this entails." Here Velvet's eyes hardened. "But that's not going to dissuade me. I do think that at the moment this is my best move." Velvet confirmed her resolve.
Izuku spared her another glance before sighing as his hadn't let up. "Fine have it your way." He agreed and gripped her hand. Like before a page appeared from Velvet this one, a hot pink color with it soon joining the rest of them. When it was over. Velvet still looked unsure but a tad relived.
"Just know that you can back out at anytime oaky?" Izuku told the older woman who smiled. "Thanks Luv." She said before looking around. "So what's next people?" She asked only to jump several feet in the air as a portal opened up a few feet from her and a red blur shot out.
"IZUKU!" Charlie cried picking him up and spinning up around. "Oh thank goodness you okay!" She shouted and Izuku gave her a nervous smile. "Yeah, sorry for worrying you Charlie." He apologized as Charlie beamed and put him down.
"Oh it's nothing I wasn't that worried." Charlie tried to play off only from laughter to come from behind her. "OH well if sending almost hundred messages wasn't you worrying I don't envy those who do see that side of you Charlotte." Lucifer laughed as her entire face burnt red.
Walking past his embraced daughter Lucifer held out his hand. "Glad to have you back with us my boy." He told Izuku who smiled sheepishly. "Thanks Lucifer." He said while shaking his hand. "But you know if you needed something you could have just called. I know you must be busy." Izuku told him and the man just laughed and waved it off.
"Izuku I'm the king of hell, what's the point of all that power if I can't do what I want." He laughed getting a sweat drop from most of the room but Alastor nodded in agreement. 'Pulling an Iceberg I see.' He thought before moving on. "So what can I do for you sir?" He asked with Lucifer smirking. "First I'd like to congratulate you on your success and getting your new home." Lucifer said while gesturing around getting proud smirks from everyone who fought.
"Well thank you for the opportunity." Izuku told the blonde. "As for the second I'm to-." Here Charlie cut in with the biggest grin many of them had ever seen. "Invite you all on a trip through the rings of Hell!" She cheered with many fire works going up from her hands.
There was an awkward silence from around the room as everyone tried to process what the princess just said. Well all except Alastor whose smile just grew. "What a wonderful idea. I of course accept!"
Lute like the rest of the groups weren't that easily to do so. "I'm sorry but what exactly do you mean by that? A trip through the rings of Hell?" The angle asked having never gone past Pride and wasn't exactly eager to see the rest of her new home.
Lucifer glanced towards her. "Exactly what it sounds like. You lot will be the first sinners to experience the rest this little abyss we call home. I merely wish to show it off." Lucifer explaiend before he caught sight of Velvet. "You're that new girl right? The one who started the broadcast?" He asked getting a slow nod from Velvet having been able to recognize the king of Hell for who he is.
Lucifer took a sniff of the air. "I'm guessing that you just made a deal with Izuku and he now owns your soul?" He asked having recognized that particular sent of magic. Another nod was his answer. "Well than of course your welcome to come as well." Lucifer invited before turning to the rest. "Well what do you say everyone, care for a tour of Hell?"
The overlords glanced at each other. "Beats staying here and waiting for everything to get fixed." Don shrugged with Countess nodding. "I have heard tales of the lower rings. I'm interested to see how many of them are true." She added. "Oh sounds like fun!" Dolly cheered and Creeper nodded in agreement. "Wonder what kind of booze they got down there?" Husk shrugged with Chief nodding with the Cat sinner.
"Could prove beneficial in the long term." Surgeon muttered getting a nod from Lurker. "Yeah besides we shouldn't waste an opportunity like this."
Velvet was all smiles. "Oh yeah this is going to be fun!" She laughed and Lute shrugged. "As long our deal holds I'll go along with it." She said not really caring one way or the other.
Charlie and Lucifer seeing everyone else in agreement turned to Izuku. "Well Izuku come on what do you say?" Charlie asked and Izuku thought back. Back to the war, the losses, the sacrifices, finding the traitor, being stuck here, having to survive, the battle at the asylum and his meeting and fight with the Scarlet King. All of this led to a very easy answer.
"Hell yeah. I could use a vacation."
This brought smiles and cheers from the rest of the group as Izuku was hugged on one side by Velvet and the other by Charlie. Lucifer smirked and with a twirl of his staff spoke. "Well than back your bags people! We leave tomorrow!" He proclaimed a wide grin on his face which was soon shared by everyone.
Looks like things were going to be easy going for awhile.
Line break.
Far away from Pentagram City a forest stood tall. The forest however was odd, there was no plants or animals except for the trees with each tree made of pure black bark. In the middle of this forest sat a castle of Obsidian. Inside the castle were two figures, their appearances hidden by shadows. One an extremely large standing behind the throne which the other sat upon in the throne room.
The two were currently watching Lucifer and his daughter make plans with the sinners about their travels. "It would seem the world works in mysterious ways." The figure in the chair, a woman spoke. "Tell me are the children prepared to move?" She asked and the giant behind her nodded. "They are my lady." He answered with a small smile crossing the woman's face. "Well than Lucifer." She said as the image froze on his face and her eyes started glowing red.
"It's time to see if you're still the same angel you were all those years ago.
To Be Continued.
And there you have it. The next chapter of DFO and probably the last chapter you'll see from of anything until maybe mid April. Reason? Got shit to do and leave it at that. It's nothing major yet but I still got some minor stuff I want to focus on outside of wiring for a bit.
Now let's get on the chapter. We see the reactions from all over pride to the low sinners to many of the overlords including some new ones. Most speak for themselves but I just want to address Songbird in particular. This Izuku is not Bi and Songbird is not in the harem If you want a way to describe what they relationship between him and Izuku it's going to be like this.
Songbird is Shuu Tsukiyama and Izuku is Ken Kaneki. Anyone who gets the reference knows exactly what I'm taking about.
Next we see more of Vaggie in Heaven and taking with Emily and boy do I have plans for Emily but as you can see the wheels have already been set in motion for her to discover some things in Hell, the higher ups want to keep hidden.
Finally we see Izuku meet back up with the others, make a deal with Velvet and get introduced to the set up of the next arc. The road trip through Hell. Each ring I'm going to try to make one to two chapters in lengths so 6 to 12 in total length wise.
And if anyone is wondering why the Scarlet King encounter played such a small part in this chapter, trust me it'll be coming up a lot in the future. I've got plans.
And now on to another matter. I believe I've got the harem Finaizled

That's it. 17 girls I don't think I can include anymore and not lose track. I am still planning the all female hell story and well do another version of this story when both Hazbin and Helluva boss are done, by which point I hope this story is done. So if a girl appears unless I say something don't assume there in the harem.
Last thing. I've got this idea for a story and involving Izuku and the soulsbonre ring games. (Demon souls, Dark Souls I, II and III, bloodborne and Elden Ring) I'm going to wait till shadow of the red tree drops before I start it so I have plenty of time to prepare but I wanted to ask should I include Sekiro? I never played it and have time to look up the lore and make good attempt I feel. Let me know your thoughts.
That's it for now.
Till next time,
Stay tuned.
