Chapter 50: The Show Must Go On Part 3
Soon, the News 666 begins their news broadcast, with Katie Killjoy and Tom Trench.
Katie introduces, "Good evening. I'm Katie Killjoy!"
"And I'm-" Tom begins his introduction.
But, Katie Killjoy shoves Tom Trench out of his seat and out of the frame, "Nobody gives a shit who you are, Tom. Breaking news - Extermination day is canceled!"
A few demons, including Arackniss and Baxter are seen looking at a billboard which is playing the news report. The news report begins to play clips from the fight with the Exorcists.
Kattie announces, "Charlie Morningstar along with the mysterious Impish Mage managed to fend off the angelic attack with more than just nice words."
In Cannibal Town, Rosie watches the news report while sipping tea.
Meanwhile, in V Tower, Velvette watches the news on her phone.
As Katie continues, "In an unseen turn of events, our demonic head honcho Lucifer stepped in to save his daughter's ass in the last moment. Along with another unexpected one of the Ars Goetia Princes, Prince Stolas who managed to save the Impish mage at the last second.
Valentino comes over and briefly looks over her shoulder, before walking away to play the same news report on his television.
Katie also announces, "We're also hearing reports that Adam, leader of the angelic legions, first man and totally fuckable bad boy, has been slain by a filthy janitor."
From his surveillance room, Vox watches the news, which is now showing Niffty being interviewed, staring blankly at the camera.
Carmilla Carmine watches the news from her office, a small smile on her face.
Katie says, "The janitor said, quote, 'Charlie told me to stab, so I did'. Anyway, congrats to Charlie and her crew for not being totally fucking useless for once."
After the broadcast, it has been revealed that the Hazbin Hotel has been completely destroyed. Everyone begins digging through the rubble of the hotel Charlie runs through the hotel with Vaggie, looking anxiously around. She sees KeeKee lying in the rubble, and struggles to get up.
Charlie rushes over and picks her cat up, "Oh...there, there. It's...it's okay."
Charlie looks over and smiles briefly when she sees Angel and Fat Nuggets reuniting.
She then turns her head to another area to see Amber and Icy, the two fox demons glow and fuse back into one, returning to become Sophie. Then, she changed back to the small red fox and collapsed on the ground.
Aurora approaches her and picks Sophie up, "There there, Sophie. It's okay, girl."
Keenan walks to Loona as he picks her up. Then notices Stolas walking up as he places Blitz back down on his feet. They soon see a portal open and walking through it is Octavia with Tilla in her arms.
Tilla reaches out as she calls out, "Dada!"
Blitz reaches for her and hugs her in his arms and replies. Stolas and Octavia hug each other as well. Octavia is glad to see both Blitz and her father are okay. Aurora, Keenan, Loona, and Keenan approach and join a family hug, happy to have survived the Extermination.
Charlie looks around to see the rest of I.M.P help each other out in couples, or in Zak's case family as they comfort and are relieved that they're okay.
Charlie feels happy for many who have survived and are now safe. But as she begins to walk towards them, she stops when she steps on something. Charlie looks down to see the banner from Pentious first say which reads, 'Happy first week, Sir Pentious!'. Vaggie walks over to her. Charlie sings in sadness for Pentious death and noble sacrifice.
Charlie:
He did it for us
The ultimate sacrifice
He gave me his trust, and look how we paid the price
This bloodshed could have been avoided if I convinced Heaven to work together
Charlie walks through the hotel's ruins to the edge of the precipice, where she has a clear view of the hotel's sign, which collapsed on the ground.
Charlie:
I took a hotel, and I destroyed it
I know I could have done better
Better, instead of letting you down
Lucifer walks over to her and places a hand on her shoulder
Lucifer:
Come on, little lady, why the frown?
In the last 10,000 years
You're the first one to change this town!
Lucifer stands in front of Charlie and points encouragingly at her
Lucifer:
You can do this! Now I know it!
For your story has just begun!
You can't quit now, hell, you owe it!
There's still damage to be undone
You've changed my mind, you've touched their hearts
Vaggie, Angel (who is still holding Fat Nuggets), Husk, Niffty and Cherri Bomb join in. Even Blitz and the others gather around the 2 of them.
Lucifer:
Found the good in souls gone bad
The stage is wrecked, the crowd is gone
But by God, Charlie!
The show, it must go on!
Everyone else gathers around Charlie, singing encouragingly.
Vaggie, Angel, Husk, Niffty and Cherri Bomb:
We can do this, we can build it!
Best hotel that you've ever seen!
Twice the bedrooms, we can fill it
Lucifer:
With more sinners than you can dream!
Lucifer and Vaggie:
It starts with you,
Lucifer, Vaggie and Angel:
You know it's true,
Lucifer, Vaggie, Angel, Husk, Niffty and Cherri Bomb:
Fulfill your destiny!
Charlie, now smiling, stands up.
Charlie:
So long as I've got all of you with me!
The scene cuts to Niffty running around the hotel's ruins, picking up bricks, and Aurora and Keenan clean up the area.
Niffty:
To build a hotel, I think we'll need some brick and lumber!
Lucifer:
Good thing we're in Hell, check out this little magic number!
Lucifer creates huge, neat piles of bricks. Meanwhile, Angel, and Zak, Millie begin to build pillars.
Angel Dust:
Start with foundation!
Lucifer:
A remedial creation for me!
Lucifer, using Keekee in her key form as a gun, creates foundations. Of course, Blitz and Stolas also help by using their magic as well.
Niffty, Angel and Lucifer:
It's as easy as can be!
The scene cuts to Charlie, helping to rebuild the hotel while wiping away tears.
Charlie:
No time for crying, we got a lot of work to do and,
We gotta try and, make the best of what's in ruins!
Vaggie, Loona, and Husk help to rebuild it.
Vaggie:
New coat of paint!
Husk:
New lights across the marquee
Charlie uses her angelic power to light up the lightbulbs.
Charlie, Vaggie and Husk:
With a little sorcery!
Meanwhile, in V Tower, Vox bursts through the doors of Valentino's penthouse. Valentino and Velvette are already there
Vox:
After the battle, masterless cattle!
Vox and Valentino:
Overlords hanging by a thread!
As the Vees look at a board showing a mindmap of their enemies, Vox throws a knife through an old picture of Alastor. Vox is clearly visible in the frame, but has been torn out of the picture, presumably by Vox himself.
Vox and Valentino:
With a bit of bravado, maybe tomorrow
We'll be atop the heap!
Vox and Valentino dance together while Velvette records them, smiling.
Valentino:
While the rest of Hell's pissing!
Vox:
Alastor's missing!
Vox and Valentino:
Fled with his tail between his legs!
Nature abhors a power vacuum
It leaves room for you and me!
Velvette comes up behind Vox and Val and puts her arms around the 2 of them.
Vox and Valentino:
The future of Hell belongs to the Vees!
As the three of them laugh together.
The scene cuts to Alastor, limping towards the ruins of his radio tower while holding the broken pieces of his microphone.
Alastor:
This place reaks of death
Alastor enters his radio tower.
Alastor:
There's a chill in the air
And I barely escaped being killed by a hair
"Great Alastor, altruist, died for his friends"
Sorry to disappoint! That is not where this ends!
I'm hungry for freedom, like never before
Alastor walks through his radio tower, his eyes darting around the room/
Alastor:
The constraints of my deal surely have a back door
Once I figure out how to unclip my wings
Guess who will be pulling all the strings?
Alastor laughs maniacally as his shadow looms above him.
Meanwhile, back at the hotel, the rest of the hotel's residents are finishing off the rebuilding while putting up a painting of Pentious, and they give a salute to show their respect.
All:
We can do this!
(Charlie:
We can do this)
All:
We'll be better!
(Charlie:
We'll be better)
All:
Though redemption may take a while
(Charlie:
Though it may take a while!)
All:
Wayward sinners, clear their ledger!
Alastor appears in the middle of the group, now recovered.
Alastor:
And we're doing it with a smile!
Everyone except for Husk and Lucifer cheer and hug Alastor.
Charlie happily says, "Al!"
But Lucifer mutters, "Oh, this guy."
Charlie:
We'll make a difference, wait and see!
Charlie and Vaggie:
We're gonna do this, you and me!
Everyone:
And then tomorrow it will be a fuckin' happy day in hell!
All of them sing the last line while looking at the rebuilt hotel.
In V Tower, Vox and Valentino make out while Velvette takes a selfie of them.
Back at the hotel, Lucifer hands Charlie the key, and everyone looks over the newly rebuilt and renovated Hazbin Hotel, bigger and better than before. And with new friends and new adventures waiting for them.
In Heaven...
Sera and Emily are sitting in a room together. Suddenly, Sir Pentious rises up into the room. His color scheme has been changed to white, gold and blue and he now has a love-hearts motif
Pentious quickly gets up in fright, "What? Where-where am I?"
He soon notices Emily and Sera in the room, and nervously waves, "Oh, hello."
Emily, realizing that this is proof that the Hazbin Hotel works, squeaks with excitement. Sera, having come to the same conclusion, looks mortified, and not sure how to process it.
At another location...
The ocean waves washing the beaches in Heaven In a beach chair, a lone woman with a large fedora hat sits there, watching the sea. As her hair flows by the winds, Lute comes to her and dumps the deceased Adam's halo on the ground in front of her.
Lute informs the woman, "Adam is dead. Your deal is done and I'm in charge now. Your brat is threatening the very foundation of Heaven along with an Imp who can perform magic. And if you want to stay here," and leans down and pointing at the sea, "You're going down there," points at the woman, "And stopping that bitch. You understand me...Lilith?"
The woman, revealed to be Lilith, stared up at Lute before she furrows her eyebrows from behind the sunglasses.
Meanwhile...
In another Ring of Hell known as the Lust Ring, there is a tall tower that belongs to the King of Lust Asmodeus. Inside the living room of the tower is the famous Imp, Fizzarolli.
Fizzarolli is a tall male imp with a jester getup. His eyes have lime sclera and pink irises, his teeth are neon blue, and he has an imp tail with black stripes. His cybernetic arms and legs are retractable. He wears a bright red and blue jester cap with bells, a white ruff, and a black collar with bells located below it. His jester hat's stripe patterns resemble those of his horns' as a child, being asymmetrical from both sides. The front side of his outfit is bright red with yellow trim at the bottom with yellow hearts, while the back is bright blue with white trim at the bottom and black hearts. He wears white and purple striped pants along with white and purple striped sleeves with bright red cuffs and yellow trim edging, and yellow balls on his shoulders with light red hearts. He also wears black, heeled shoes with yellow hearts on the front, black gloves with red spots on the knuckles, and yellow cuffs.
Fizzarolli sighs in exhaustion, "This has been a tiring day," He also looks at his phone to see the time, "Ozzie will be back very soon, so I'll just watch T.V until he gets back."
Fizzarolli soon sits down, and turns on the television to relax. He soon sees the News 666 on the television and Katie Killjoy has already pushed Tom Trench aside.
Katie announces, "Breaking news - Extermination day is canceled!"
"Really? That's a first..." Fizzarolli says, confused.
Kattie announces, "Charlie Morningstar along with the mysterious Impish Mage managed to fend off the angelic attack with more than just nice words."
"Wow. That's actually impressive," Fizzarolli says, "Almost as impressive as the Impish Mage story they covered a while back, but didn't read much into it. I mean, an Imp that can use magic, that's like fuckin' crazy."
Fizzarolli continues watching to see some footage of the battle between the demons of the Hazbin Hotel and the angels from Heaven. However, there are two imps on the footage that catches his attention.
"Wait..." Fizzarolli questions, "Is that Zak... and Zoey...? What the fuck are you doing there?"
Fizzarolli watches in surprise to see Zak and Zoey are fighting against the angels alongside Charlie and the others. And soon, he sees another footage of Blitz casting his magic with his scepter as he fights Adam in the air. Fizzarolli gasps in shock and quickly pauses to see the Imp more closely.
"That face... it... it can't be..." Fizzarolli says, stunned.
He leans closer to the television to see Blitz, the face, the mark on his forehead, the horns, and of him.
"That Imp, he looks like... but it can't be..." Fizzarolli says, stunned, "Blitzo is alive..."
"What's the matter, Froggie?" A voice speaks up.
Fizzarolli turns his head to say, "Oh hey, Oz, I'm just shocked, the Impish Mage, he looks like... he looks like Blitzo..." And points to the television.
Oz looks over to see Blitz on the television as he fights against Adam. As Blitz fights against Adam and receives injuries, he notices a crystal that is implanted on his chest. Oz narrows his green eyes to see the crystal on his chest is very familiar.
"Hmm," Oz responds, "And you're saying that this is your friend?"
"I'm sure Ozzie. I mean, it's strange, but he has his mother's pendant, and he has the same mark on his forehead as I do, and he looks like Cash," Fizzarolli says. Then places his hand on the television, "I... I really want to believe it's him. I really do..."
"I'm sure we'll figure something out," Ozzie says.
But then responds in thought, "Especially since he has the crystal that was sucked into that vortex all those years ago. And maybe we'll learn what this being, Phobos, and what he was planning."
