Radio Killed The Video Star 1

After seeing the news about the new extermination schedule, most of the residents went to do their own thing as Allison, Vaggie, Angel and Keekee were with Charlie who was pacing and she was clearly panicking while Keekee was walking with her owner as she paced around in a panic.

"Okay. So the extermination is coming in six months instead of a year. No big deal." Charlie rambled but Allison and Vaggie could see the rising panic in her eyes.

"Just a little setback. Nothing we can handle. Just angels cutting our timetable in half. But who needs a whole year to save souls? Am I right?!" She said as she started to panic wildly.

"And next time when they cut the time in half again and again, we'll just handle it, right?!" She exclaimed but Vaggie had to hold her arms before she panics further.

"Charlie, calm down." Allison gave her a paper bag to breathe into to which the princess appreciated and started to breathe in it deeply.

"Yes. We will." Vaggie reassured her.

"Charlie, can you tell us what happened exactly at the meeting?" Allison gently asked as Charlie calmed down completely but there was still panic in her eyes.

"I-I tried to get them to listen to my ideas but they didn't since the leader of the angelic army told me or, well, rather sing that the rules are black and white. They moved the extermination day to six months because Hell Is Forever as they said." Charlie puffed her cheeks and for some reason, those three words sent a shiver down Allison's spine and not in a good way.

"Um, who exactly is the leader of the-" She started to ask but was cut off as Angel piped in.

"Oh, please, ya had less than half a chance when you started all this salvation bullshit. And now..." Angel told Charlie but stopped as his phone vibrated. He looked to see that a lot of threatening messages from his boss kept coming.

"Ain't no silver lining this time, toots." He said as Charlie tried to stay positive.

"Sure there is! We just... have to look a little harder for it!" She said with optimism.

"Well, while you're lookin', the rest'a shell's goin' nuts." Angel explained as he waved his phone.

"People are already freakin' out about the news. Look at what's happening in the Doomsday District." He said as he scrolls down an article with the bottom showing a demon screaming in front of a fire.

A pink message suddenly appeared and Allison looked at it in confusion.

"Err, what is a... Donkey Show?" She asked in confusion.

"Yeah, that's what I was gonna ask." Charlie agreed with Allison. That made Angel panic and retract his phone from their view. As much as he wants to admit it but Charlie and Allison are way too innocent to know what that means.

"Ah, heh, nothin'. My boss, Val, is just freaked out about the news too." Angel reassures them while silently cursing and swearing at Valentino for messaging him at an inappropriate time since both Charlie and Allison don't know anything about types of porn.

"Like I said, everyone's losin' their shit." He added. A light bulb immediately lit up in Vaggie's head. That... That could work.

"Yeah, that's true. Sinners are desperate." Vaggie said slowly as she turned to Charlie.

"Maybe desperate enough to try anything to escape the extermination?" She suggested which made Charlie immediately gasp, feeling hopeful.

"This is the perfect time to recruit more sinners for the hotel!" She said hopefully but Allison just frowned.

"Um, Charlie, I may have to disagree with you. We can't just simply force sinners to join the hotel just because there's a panic going on right now. It... doesn't seem right." She said with Angel agreeing.

"Allie here is right though to be honest. It's a cute idea and all, but you're really gonna go out in all of this?" He asked the princess and hotel founder while waving his phone as it showed a feed of a place that was on fire and demons in a panic from the new extermination schedule but that did little to deter Charlie's hope to try and recruit more sinners for the hotel.

"Well, it's not like people are just gonna show up on our doorstep-" She said only to be cut off by a sudden explosion behind her which made Charlie scream from fright with Allison jumping in shock and disbelief.

They looked to see that the explosion had a freshly made hole in the wall. The explosion caught their attention as they immediately went out to see that it was the same zeppelin from last week. Inside the zeppelin, Pentious was inside and by the controls while his Egg Boiz were scattering around.

"Show yourself, Alasssstor. Come and face-" He started to challenge but stopped himself when all he saw was a wall and the one he's challenging was absent.

He happened to look up only to see the red sinner was sipping coffee from his mug with the words 'Oh Deer' to it and was reclining by the balcony of the second floor. (I seriously want that mug.)

"Oh, there you are." Pentious recomposed himself.

"Face my wrath!" He hissed with his hood flaring up.

Alastor just merely glanced at him and felt his ear twitch.

"Who are you?" He asked him in a mocking tone which irked Pentious. Who was he?! Did he seriously forget?!

"Who am I? Who am I?! I am the rear Ssssssir Pentiousssss!" Pentious introduced himself a bit dramatically while Alastor finished his coffee and dissolved into a foggy shadow as he descended from the balcony to the ground, materializing aside Allison, Angel, Vaggie and Charlie who came out to see the commotion as they watched Pentious' zeppelin.

"Inventor, architect of dessstruction, villain extraordinaire!" Pentious boasted as the small group in front of the hotel just stared at him in confusion.

"Ooh, you tell 'em, boss!" One of the Egg Boiz said happily, cheering him on while Niffty appeared on Alastor's shoulder while the radio demon merely glanced at her.

"Ooooooh, he's a bad boy~" She breathed giddily. Bad boys are definitely her type.

"Ha, well, if all that's true, you'd think I'd have heard of you." Alastor said nonchalantly while scooping Niffty off his shoulder to drop her on the ground. That irked Pentious more. Unbelievable! How dare he say that!

"I attacked you literally last week." Pentious deadpanned since he remembered with the group remembering that attack but Alastor just tilted his head to the side with an amused smile.

"We've done battle, like... 20 times." The snake sinner added.

"Well, you must have been really bad at this." Alastor said in a taunting tone.

"Silence!" Pentious snapped.

"Now cower! For when I've ssslain you, the almighty Vees will finally acknowledge me as their equal." He told them, revealing the true reason on the present predicament.

Niffty then appeared on Allison's shoulder.

"Ooh!" She breathed loudly before becoming confused.

"Wait, who are the Vees?" She asked and Alastor felt his blood boil just at the thought of those hooligans but he kept himself composed.

"Oh, nobody important." He said but his twitching ears caught Allison's attention and she felt that Alastor knows who the Vees are.
