Chapter 45: Welcome to Heaven Part 2

Back in Heaven...

The court hearing for the hotel is about to begin. Sera and Emily are sitting at the highest seat in the courtroom with the other angelic counsel at different levels. Charlie are Vaggie are sitting at another level. Charlie is excited, but Vaggie is nervous. 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."

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.

And then Adam says, "If you have actual evidence, then show it already."

Then Charlie says, "We have a patron right now who is making incredible progress!"

"Who?" Adam questions.

"We have Angel Dust," Charlie says.

"Oh yeah, the porn demon. He's totally worth being redeemed," Adam says and blows raspberries.

"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?"

"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.

"Well, I bet Angel is 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 and the others.

"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.

"Where are you going, Niffty?" Blitz asks.

"To do some cleaning," Niffty says, and takes her leave.

Stolas turns to Blitz, "Um, she is aware that the staff will clean the place up when the place closes."

"I'm not sure," Blitz 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. I don't know, it's a kink," Angel tells them.

"What kind of stuff is that guy into?" Blitz asks.

"I don't know, but he sounds like a real creep," Zak says, and mutters, "Especially after what you told us about that stunt he pulled."

"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, and holds out the pills.

"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.

Blitz then turns to Angel, "Angel, are you sure you're okay?"

"I'm..." Angel about to say he's fine, but sighs, "Not really. I'm guess I'm just fuckin down in the dumps."

"I guess it's understandable, especially what I've learned about your boss," Blitz says.

"Yeah," Angel says.

Blitz says, "It's okay, Angel. We're all here for you. And well, Cherri is right, we're all here to have a good time, hanging out with friends, having drinks, and such. Doing stuff with friends and those we're close to is a good way to keep your mind off of the trouble you face. Of course, it will help you relax and such."

Angel snickers, "Are you supposed to be a doctor or a therapist?"

"Well, I'm mainly a medical mage, but therapy is something I think we need in case we have patients with some trouble with the mind and such, and they can affect the body," Blitz says.

"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.

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

Husk sighs in response.

Still in Heaven, everyone continues watching the event. Charlie and Vaggie grow worried, although with what's happening. But they can't help but be glad that Blitz is trying to help Angel.

"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. You seriously gonna sit there and pretend like this behavior is ok?"

Charlie growls in response.

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.

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

"Fuck, yes!" Charlie says.

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

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

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.

"She's like 10 pounds soaking wet and—" Angel says,

But Stolas notices, "Uh, where she go?"

Angel and Blitz notices that she's gone.

"Oh shit, where'd she go?" Angel asks.

Blitz calls out, "Niffty!"

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!"

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!" Cheri 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 starts crying.

Realizing his mistake, Angel comforts her, "Oh... shh shh. Hey hey, Hey calm down," He takes a deep breath, "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.

"That did not end too well," Zoey says.

"No shit," Zak says.

"Should one of us go get him?" Blitz asks.

"Eh don't worry, I'm sure he'll be fine," Cherri says.

Soon, Angel 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, Blitz and the others 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 event, Angel and the others grow concerned.

"Oh no," Stolas says, worried.

Blitz flinches and feels shivers down his spine, "Wha-what's he doing here?!"

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

"Yeah. Let's get out of here before he sees us," Zak says.

But Blitz soon notices, "Uh guys, where did Niffty go?"

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

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

"Niffty!" Blitz calls out and chases after her.

"Blitz, wait!" Angel calls out, and tries to get through the crowd, "Excuse me. Pardon me. Get out of my way."

As they chase after her, both Blitz and Angel tumble onto the platform and grabs Niffty, who is still running in midair as Angel holds her and Blitz ends up landing on him.

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.

Then Val notices Blitz, "And the little Impish Mage with you as well? I was hoping you and I could discuss more after our last meeting. Would you like to continue where we left off?

"N-No thank you. I'm good," Blitz says and stumbles back as Zak walks from behind.

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, "So once again, FUCK. OFF."

Valentino smacks Angel, sending him tumbling to the side onto the ground.

"Angel!" Zak, Zoey, and Blitz cry out and rush to him.

"Don't worry, I'm okay," Angel says as he coughs and splutters blood from his mouth.

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.

"Fuckin' creep," Zak agrees.

Angel stands up and walks back to his friends while wiping blood from his mouth.

"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."

"You actually did good there," Zoey says.

Soon, everyone walks away.

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!"

Blitz turns to Angel, "Are you sure you're okay, Angel?"

"I'm alright Blitz, but I really need to get it out of my chest," Angel says.

He then smiles towards Blitz, "And uh, thanks for caring about me and being a good friend."

"You're welcome," Blitz says with a smile.

Stolas smiles, "I'm glad to see that everything ended up okay, despite some of the hitches."

"Yeah. Let's spend the rest of the night at the hotel. We have enough craziness here for one day," Angel says.

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!"

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

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

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."

Suddenly, Emily begins to sing.

Emily:

But they were right, Sera

They showed us a soul can improve

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

Emily:

He 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 takes 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, 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.

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!"

"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.

Emily:

You go down there and kill those poor souls?

This catches Charlie off guard and walks to Emily.

Charlie:

You didn't know?

"Whoops!" Adam respoinds.

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.

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.

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, and Emily fly onto the orb.

Charlie and Emily:

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

Sera is shocked, "Emily!"

Charlie and Emily:

If angels can do whatever, and remain in the sky

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

Charlie 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. Charlie falls to her knees in disbelief to learn that her own girlfriend was an Exorcist Angel. as Vaggie runs to her and Emily settles back by Sera.

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."

Then Lute says, "And the first one to die will be the Impish Mage, now that we all know where he is!"

Charlie and Vaggie gasp in shock to hear this. Lute plans to target Blitz, even though he's a Hellborn.

With the snap of the fingers, Adam opens the portal and forces Charlie and Vaggie back to hell.

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

"You... Mother-" Vaggie angrily shouts.

And the two girls scream as they are transported through the portals.

Emily cries out, "Charlie! Don't give up on this! I'll figure something out, I promise!"

Soon, the three girls are gone.

Sera turns to Adam, "That was uncalled for, Adam."

"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..."

Sera then firmly says, "And just to be clear, the Imp you speak off will not be harmed because of the agreement we have of harming Hellborns. Instead, he will be brought here to Heaven. I would like to meet this Imp Mage in person. Do I make myself clear?!" and is more stern with her approach.

"Fine, fine, whatever..." Adam says. He mutters under breath, "Don't know why you even want him here anyway."

The court, Adam, and Lute fly away.

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.

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?"

"But still, why do you want the Imp to be brought here? He doesn't seem bad? In fact, he seems like a nice being." Emily asks, worried.

"Do not worry, he will not be harmed. I only want to ask him a few questions and he can return to Hell with no other incident. During the agreement, Hellborns are not to be harmed, and I plan to keep that agreement. Also, despite him being a demon, even I can sense goodness within him, especially from what I see today. You just leave everything to me," Sereia says.

She then kisses Emily's forehead, "I'm sorry." And takes her leave.

Emily puts a hand on Adam's crumbled up list gently.
