Day Twenty Three: Mastermind

After seeing Mastermind, this sparked a little what if scenario. We all know Blitz and Stolas deserve some justice, so let's give it to them. Something Satan said in the song got to me, he claims he ruled Hell since long before Lucifer's fall. Well, let's see what the king of hell has to say about it, and his daughter. What if Lucifer and Charlie saw the broadcast when Stolas sings mastermind and decided to help?

The trial of I.M.P was broadcast across all the rings of hell; Satan had sentenced Blitz to death. Stolas saw the broadcast and immediately ran down there to save Blitz. Fizzarolli had been sending texts to Asmodeus, begging for him to do something. But there was nothing Asmodeus and Bee could do; Satan was the judge, jury, and executioner and no one could turn over his ruling. Millie and Moxxie were in tears and looking away, not wanting to see their friend die. Loona who had been muzzled the entire time, whimpered with tears in her eyes.

Just as the blade was about to chop off Blitz's head; something blocked the blade. Everyone in Hell gasps upon seeing this. Andrealphus smiles wickedly as a single feather lands on Blitzo's body. In the nick of time, Stolas entered the courtroom, preventing Blitzo from being executed. He lifts the axe with all his might using his magic. "WHAT IN LUCIFER'S HELL IS THIS?!?!" Satan shouted.

"I am about to explain everything!" Stolas stated, breaking away from the Reaper executioner and using magic to undo the chains binding Blitzo. "In the only way I know how... song!"

Blitzo slumps his face down on the Execution block, and Stolas hears Vassago cheering, "YES! Yes! Cántalo (sing it) baby!"

Stolas broke into the song where he confessed that he was the mastermind behind it all. Sure, he wasn't telling the complete truth but he has no regrets freeing Blitz. Blitz was in shock that Stolas was throwing his life away for him. At that moment, Blitz finally caved into his true feelings for Stolas and he just realized it too late. Andrealphus was enjoying this so much; he had Stolas in the trap and it was all coming to plan. Asmodeus and Bee both know the real truth but neither of them could go against Satan.

However, at the Hazbin Hotel, everyone, including Charlie and Lucifer, was watching the trial. Lucifer may not have been active in Hell for a long time, but he knew Stolas and knew his life with Stella. He can tell when someone is lying and he could tell that Stolas and Blitz were somewhat telling the truth but Satan wasn't giving them a chance to explain. Even Charlie felt bad for them; she and Octavia were close friends as kids and even she knew what Stella was like with Stolas.

"Dad... Stolas needs help. He doesn't deserve this. And neither does that imp and his friends." Charlie said.

Lucifer wanted to say something until he heard Satan say that he had ruled this place long before Lucifer's fall as he chained Stolas's wrists and neck. That second Lucifer heard that; he went red with rage. Lucifer summoned a portal for him and Charlie to go through. He was a full-on demon flying into the courtroom. Blitz and his friends were about to be dragged out of the courtroom until everyone froze with terror seeing the king and princess of Hell. "RELEASE THEM, NOW!" Lucifer shouted, his voice echoing through the courtroom.

"Hey Luci, finally showed up," Mammon said.

Lucifer turned his angry eyes to Mammon, "SHUT THE FUCK UP!"

The chains on Stolas were taken off along with the ones on Blitz, Millie, and Moxxie. The muzzle on Loona was taken off as well. Lucifer then sat down on his throne and Charlie stood by his side. Satan tried to protest but one look at Lucifer's eyes and he immediately shut up. All the other sins were just surprised to see Lucifer, here for the trial. Andrealphus tried to tell the same lies to Lucifer and Charlie but Lucifer just snapped his fingers and put that Elsa wannabe in chains.

"Do you have any idea who you are speaking to?" Lucifer spat out, "I know when my people are lying, and you... You have been spatting out nothing but bullshit!"

Charlie then looked at Stolas and Blitz; she gave them a chance to speak the truth to everyone. Blitz started to go first to tell his side of the story. He admits that while he did use the book; Stolas let him use it in the first place. Stolas backed it up by saying that Blitz would return it on a full moon once a month in exchange for a night of passion that he never got with Stella. Stolas then took a breath and told the whole court what Stella put him through the years they had been married, from the shouting, cruel words, even to the physical and mental abuse. He confessed that the only reason he even stayed with Stella was so Octavia could live a normal life.

Lucifer looked like he was gonna blow; he knew Stella was a harpy but the fact Stolas put up with her just for Octavia, he understood why Stolas cheated on her in the first place. Lucifer then turned to Asmodeus, "Has Stolas ever mentioned anything about this imp being aggressive, Ozzie?" Lucifer asked.

Asmodeus stood up, "Stolas has never said anything about Blitz being aggressive in bed. In fact, Stolas came to me and asked for one of my crystals for this imp so he didn't have to keep using his grimoire. Stolas even confided in me that he had developed feelings for Blitz. He wanted Blitz to feel like he had a choice to be with him instead of coming because of their deal."

Blitz looked at Stolas with shock; all this time, he thought Stolas was just throwing him away when he felt the same way. Mammon made some snarky comments about how Asmodeus was just like them. That made him snap; Asmodeus was about to strangle Mammon when Charlie broke them apart. "That's enough, Mammon! Uncle Ozzie is happy with Fizz. Aunt Bee is happy with her hellhound boyfriend. And let's not forget that my dad was married to the first woman on earth. How is Stolas and Blitz's love life any different?" Charlie questioned.

Stolas was grateful that the Morningstar family was on his side. Blitz then went on to say that he never hired Striker to assassinate Stolas. He then went on how the first time Striker tried to kill Stolas was at the Harvest Moon festival; he and Moxxie prevented Striker from killing Stolas. Even Moxxie backed up Blitz by telling the court that he was the one who found Striker's angelic riffle and discovered Striker's plan to kill Stolas. Moxxie then told the court how he and Millie saved Stolas from Striker's kidnapping. But they don't know who hired Striker to kill Stolas in the first place.

That was until Stolas confessed that Striker told him who hired him. "Stella was the one that hired Striker to kill me. She wanted me dead so she and her ice queen of a brother could get their talons on everything. I left her with nothing in the divorce because she is nothing but a greedy harpy. Even if she succeeded in killing me, all my duties, money, and possessions would go to Via. She called off Striker just so she could milk me for everything I've got."

"Lies!" Andrealphus shouted.

Lucifer snapped his fingers and gave him a muzzle. He even put Striker in chains to keep him from slithering away like the snake he is. Lucifer could tell that Stolas was telling the truth but he needed to see proof of a confession from Stella. Just then, the court doors burst open and someone came running in, it was Octavia. She was heavily panted, catching her breath and in her hand was her cell phone. "Via? What are you doing here?" Stolas asked.

"Dad. I'm sorry for thinking you just love him. But I have something that the court needs to see." Octavia answered.

They all turned around to see Stella screaming like a banshee for Octavia to come back here and to her to get away from Stolas. Lucifer had the guards literally hold Stella back, kicking and screaming. Without any remorse in her eyes, Octavia played a recording on her phone; Stella's confession. She was bragging about how she had hired an assassin to kill Stolas and how that assassin would lie to the court that Blitz was the one who wanted Stolas dead. Blitz would be dead and Stolas would suffer. The entire courtroom gasped in horror, Andrealphus muttered that Stella was a stupid cow, while Stella was pale as a sheet; she was caught.

The courtroom was silent, save for the echo of Stella's venomous screams as guards dragged her into custody. Octavia stood firm, clutching her phone tightly, her gaze bouncing between her father and Stella as emotions warred within her. Lucifer leaned back in his throne, his crimson eyes narrowing with disdain. "Stella," he began, his voice low and dangerous, "you've brought shame not only to your family but to all nobility within Hell. Your greed, arrogance, and betrayal are beneath even the most vile demon."

Stella thrashed in the guards' grip, her pride refusing to let her go quietly. "I did what I had to! That pathetic excuse for a prince deserved it!"

"Enough!" Lucifer's voice thundered, shaking the very foundation of the courtroom. "You will be stripped of your title and status, and your fate shall serve as a warning to all who dare defy the laws of Hell."

Lucifer then turned his piercing gaze to Andrealphus. "And you... conspiring with your sister, aiding her treachery, and manipulating those around you. You are no better. Your arrogance ends today."

Andrealphus tried to protest, his icy demeanor cracking as he squirmed against his chains. "SILENCE!" Lucifer barked, his voice reverberating. "You will face the same punishment."

Charlie stepped closer to her uncle Satan, tugging on his sleeve gently. She leaned in, whispering an idea into his ear. As she spoke, a wicked grin spread across Satan's face, his sharp teeth glinting. "Oh, that is delightful," Satan murmured.

Satan turned to Stella and Andrealphus, his eyes blazing. "Here is your sentence: from this day forward, you will be stripped of your power, wealth, and titles. You will live among the imps as low-class demons for eternity. Enjoy your fall from grace."

The courtroom erupted into murmurs and gasps. Stella screamed in defiance, but her cries fell on deaf ears as her jewelry, crown, and fine clothes crumbled to ash before her very eyes. Andrealphus's elegant robes disintegrated, leaving him in rags. Lucifer turned to Striker, who had remained uncharacteristically quiet during the proceedings. "As for you," he said coldly, "you've caused enough chaos. Your talent for destruction won't go to waste, but it will be confined to the Lust ring's most secure prison. You'll remain there until your bones turn to dust."

Striker glared, his eyes burning with defiance, but the guards quickly restrained him and began dragging him out. "You'll regret this, Morningstar!" he spat, though his voice held a note of desperation.

Lucifer dismissed the outburst with a wave of his hand. "Take him away."

As Stella, Andrealphus, and Striker were led from the courtroom, the tension in the air began to dissipate. Octavia finally exhaled, tears welling in her eyes. She turned to Stolas and ran to him, wrapping her arms tightly around his waist. "I'm sorry, Dad. I'm so sorry..."

Stolas knelt to embrace her, his heart breaking at her sobs. "Shh, my darling. You have nothing to apologize for. You saved me... you saved all of us."

Lucifer watched the tender moment, his stern expression softening. "It seems you've raised your daughter well, Stolas," he said.

Charlie stepped forward, placing a comforting hand on Octavia's shoulder. "You were so brave, Via. You did the right thing."

Blitz, who had been silent during the chaos, finally spoke, his voice rough. "So... we're free to go, right? No more trials, no more chains?"

Lucifer glanced at him, his sharp gaze piercing through Blitz's bravado. "You and your team may go," he said firmly. "But take heed, imp: Stolas risked everything for you. Do not squander the trust he has placed in you or the mercy I have shown."

Blitz swallowed hard, nodding. "Yeah... yeah, got it. Thanks, Your Highness."

As the courtroom began to clear, Stolas, Blitz, Moxxie, Millie, Loona, and Octavia walked out of the courtroom with relief. Blitz and his friends stopped outside the door after her was all over and they all immediately hugged him.

"Dad!" Loona started to cry.

"You're okay!" Moxxie did the same.

"Don't you ever do that to me again, you fucking idiot!" Millie scolded him.

"I know I know, I'm sorry." Blitz said as the tears fell, "But, I did it to protect all of you. I broke my family once and I didn't want to lose any of you because of me."

Stolas lingered, his gaze meeting Blitz's. The weight of everything unsaid hung between them, heavy and electric. Finally, Stolas stepped closer, his voice barely above a whisper. "You didn't have to say what you did, Blitz... but thank you."

Blitz hesitated, then smirked faintly. "Yeah, well... don't get used to it, Stols."

A small laugh escaped Stolas, the tension easing just slightly. Just then, Asmodeus walked over to them and apologized for not doing more in the trial. Stolas understood the reason; he was just grateful that this was finally over. As Millie, Moxxie, and Loona released Blitz from their hug, someone else pounced on him. Blitz looked up and saw that it was a frantic Fizzarolli who was hugging him tight, sobbing into his shirt. He used an Asmodeus Crystal and opened a portal to over to the room. "I just got you back, Blitz! I'm not losing you again!" Fizzarolli shouted.

"Fizz, I'm ok." Blitz assured.

"You almost got your head chopped off!" Fizzarolli shouted.

Blitz and Fizz hugged for about another minute before pulling apart. Asmodeus then hugged Fizz and they shared a small kiss. Lucifer and Charlie walked in; Lucifer was finally grateful to meet Fizz. He called him adorable which made Fizzarolli flustered. Blitz and Stolas walked down the hall to be alone. "Stolas, I... I'm so about..." Blitz was suddenly cut off when Stolas pressed a finger to Blitz's lips.

"Just shut up and kissed me, you crazy imp." Stolas stated.

Blitz grabbed Stolas's face and kissed him.
