Overture Final Part
The trek back to the hotel seemed longer than earlier but she made it after that disaster of a meeting as Charlie sadly opens the door to the hotel only to be Vaggie and Allison who both run to her and Vaggie hugs her excitedly.
"Charlie! How did it go, did they listen?" Vaggie asked her excitedly and Charlie became hesitant. She saw her girlfriend and friend were looking happy for some reason and she doesn't want to ruin their mood by bringing them bad news.
"Oh, they sure did hear it but-" She said hesitantly but Allison cut her off with an excited smile.
"You can tell us later, Charlie. Come here, we have something exciting to show you." She said excitedly while Vaggie held Charlie's hand and brought them to the lobby where everyone was gathered in front of the tv.
"Alastor pulled some strings and it's about to air." Vaggie explained as they both sat down on the couch where Husk is sitting.
Allison leaned on the armrest of the chair Alastor was sitting on.
"I pulled a few limbs too, hahaha!" Alastor joked as he laughed while not minding where Allison was sitting.
This made Charlie blinked. So while she was gone, they made a new commercial... Just for her?
"Wait, the commercial? You all made a new one?" She asked them in shock as Angel nodded from his spot on the floor.
"Yeah, one of my better performances if I do say so myself." He said with a smile. This made Charlie forget her bad day as she smiled brightly with tears in her eyes.
"That's... That's amazing." She said in joy before she was shushed by Angel.
"Shh, it's starting." They watched as the commercial was just starting.
"Welcome to the Hazbin Hotel-" Vaggie was starting the introductions only for the new commercial to be cut off the news report.
This made Angel, Charlie who transformed into her demon form and Vaggie to complain in annoyance. Just when they were about to see the finished commercial, the news just had to ruin the fun. Alastor and Niffty looked at their friends complaining in amusement, Husk looked bored out of his mind and Allison's ears perked up at the news.
Katie Killjoy with Tom Trench, news host of 666 News Station appeared to give today's breaking news.
"Breaking news in Hell today!" Killjoy started.
"We have just received word from the Heaven Embassy that the next Extermination is happening sooner than ever before." Killjoy said with enthusiasm so thick that it was clearly fake to hide the panic in her voice as a picture of the extermination day appeared beside her.
"Do you know what that means, Tom?" Killjoy asked Tom as she turned to him.
"No, what does that mean, Katie?" Tom questioned her.
"It means we're all royally fucked!" Killjoy exclaimed as her right eye twitched as the video cut off to the clock tower countdown.
Screaming can be heard from Sinners below as the time on the Clock Tower reduces immediately to 176 days till the next Extermination. Meaning they only have six months until the next one comes.
Watching the news made everyone tense as they all stared in shock, surprise and disbelief. Alastor was surprised by this turn of events, Charlie looks like she wants to crawl under and rock and die, Vaggie looks so shocked that she has no words, Husk's eyes widened at the news, Niffty was staring at the tv but they could feel the surprise and shock radiating from her and Allison was covering her mouth in shock.
"Wait, what? Why?!" Angel asked in shock.
Allison slowly turned to Charlie who was paler than usual as she was practically hyperventilating.
"Charlie... W-What exactly happen i-in the meeting?" She asked in shock.
"I-They- I tried- but they-!" Charlie stammered as she tried to find the right words but tears started to fall from her eyes and Vaggie had to try and calm her down.
Allison was shaking slightly but Alastor put a hand on top of hers to calm her down. This made her look at him as he was glancing at her from the corner of his eyes and she could see that he was slightly panicking yet trying to keep it together.
They only have six months... What are they gonna do?
At another part of Pentagram City, a lone drone scours an area until it finds something. It shot out a beam which indicates it's a scanner as it scanned a corpse of a dead angel without the head. Somewhere inside a building, Lute and Adam were watching the video and to say the least, they didn't like what they were seeing. This has never happened before and yet it did after 10,000 years.
"We found the body, sir. They've never managed to kill one of us before." Lute said as she walked towards Adam.
"We should just go down there now and destroy them!" She said angrily but Adam raised his hand to stop her from doing anything rash.
"No, no. We can't risk them catching on." Adam reassured her but anger was seeping into his voice.
"But, don't worry, when we come back, there won't be a demon left alive to pull a stunt like this again!" He exclaimed and slammed his fist on the projector, destroying it and causing its light to spark and giving out as his glowing menacing smile can only be seen.
"So, any news about our little outcast of a seraphim?" He asked her.
"No, sir. That little filth is hiding somewhere. She managed to escape me one time and tried to stop one of us from attacking three demon filth but don't worry. They managed to kill those three." Lute said with a smirk.
"Good. Cause if we find out that she grew close to any of these sinners, we'll make sure to take them out first and leave her vulnerable and alone." He laughed evilly.
