Unexpected Visitors
Lucifer had set up going to the unbelievably peaceful town.
Before he left, the news said that Belgafor's Plateau had experienced no deaths again, marking an 80th successful year for its residents. It was also voted the most non-violent place to live in Hell. Again.
Most demons wouldn't care about it, though certain ones got curious of this.
---------------
"A town with no violence? That can't possibly exist down here." A moth said as he listened to the news on his phone.
"Though, I'm curious. That town hasn't had any lost demons for a long time. Not to mention they actually have rules over there." A Flatscreen TV demon said. "All of which sound too similar to what's going on with that stupid hotel. And people there actually listen to them!"
"?!"
------------------
A black snake overheard the news and it got him thinking.
"A placssssse assss quiet assss that town not even allowed to ssssstart genocssssside...that would mean barely anyone isssssss allowed to fight there. Ah!" He said with realization. "If I take over that area, no one would sssssussssspect me plotting my next move to take over Hell! Hahahahahaha!"

A deer demon was heading down to the lobby when he saw Charlie and Vaggie talking.
"Have you known about this Charlie?" Vaggie asked.
"Yeah, Belgafor's Plateau used to be a barren place. A wasteland filled with despair until 80 years ago. Overnight, some demons turned the place around, now they hadn't suffered any Purge losses for this long, and I heard the town's been thriving since. What makes it more interesting is that there has been barely any crime there, and the residents all had minor sins that could easily be overlooked."
"What?! You mean to say it's a town of goody two-shoes? Plus, no drugs, no crime, no chaos. What do they do for fun?!" Angel Dust interrupted the conversation as Vaggie mumbled that they should've started their project there. A few souls would've gone to Heaven by now.
"Anyway, it's run that way because the town actually has six demons that act as co-leaders. No one outside that town has seen them before though." Charlie said as Alastor grinned bigger and appeared behind the group.
"Is that so? That would make it a real mystery wouldn't it, Husk?" Alastor asked as an invisible audience said 'ooh' in anticapation.
"I wouldn't know, and I don't care." The grumpy chimera said.
"Well, my dad's having me come along to check the place out with him..." Charlie said as Alastor interrupted her.
"This is an opportunity for me to tag along too! And Husk! You haven't been out of the hotel except for the casinos. You should come along for the ride!" Alastor said snapping his fingers as Husk suddenly appeared next to him. As the chimera grumbled, Charlie was asking Vaggie if she could look over the hotel for a while.
Angel Dust then shrugged. "Eh, what the heck. I'll go too."
Vaggie was about to protest, but her girlfriend intervened by saying she'll have Alastor keep him in line.
-------------------
After the trip, Lucifer's limo found itself wondering into a forest that, surprisingly was blue with a few tints of purple.
"Wow! I didn't know this kind of forest existed in Hell." Charlie said amazed.
"Well, shortly after the new leaders of the town took over, they also recreated the land into a lush area like a prairie." Lucifer said as they finally got to a huge gate of polished white marble.
Then another limo came by nearly hitting them.
It was Valentino's. And without a doubt, Vox was with him.
"What are you guys doing here?" Husk asked, grouchy as always.
"Well, we heard of this place and got a little curious ourselves. Is that a crime to want to know how this place is successful?" Valentino asked.
"More like he's looking to expand his business." Angel grumbled.
Normally Alastor and Vox would start a fight, but with Lucifer there...
It'll have to wait. For now.
"Excuse me! Do you need something?" A robot dressed as an officer at a gate entrance asked.
"Oh, sorry. I'm Lucifer as you know, me and my compatriots have heard of the success of this town, and thought to come by for a visit."
As the king was talking, he didn’t notice Angel walking to the gates which activated an alarm, and spooked Angel as an iron door closed.
"What the heck?!"
"You don't know of the Plateau's defenses? This is the Town Barrier. It keeps outside demons who don't have a town ID or special pass from getting in." The guard said.
"Guess it works." Vox said in amusement and a tad impressed.
"Well it does explain why demons outside the town barely get in." Alastor added as the guard called one of the co-leaders for this situation.
In a matter of seconds, one of the co-leaders appeared at the gate as they opened.
What the group saw was shocking to them.
It looked like another Angel Dust was at the gate, only they had black and blue highlights on their white fur, their eyes were blue, they also wore a black suit similar to a mafia boss, with a long coat worn over their shoulders like a cape. They had a pair of arms on their hips with another set of arms crossed with a slight scowl on their face.
Though with a slight tone of muscles, they couldn't tell what their gender really was.
Alastor first jumped the gun.
"Ah hello my good sir! Excuse our sudden visit, but we all got curious of this place and wanted to know how you were able to successfully complete 80 years of maintaining the population here." Alastor said then was interrupted with a swift punch to the gut taking him by surprise.
What the group heard next shocked them.
"So, looking all masculine would mean I'm a man. Is that it Bambi, huh?!" The arrival spoke with an obviously feminine voice.
"Whoa! And I thought sinners always mixed up my gender!" Angel joked.
"Heh, can't tell you how many times. And if you're wondering, I came down looking like this. I'm Ginger by the way. I'm in charge of law enforcement and the protection of the town here." Ginger introduced herself as she explained protocols of the town to the group as she allowed them in the town.
"You may have also noticed no one else is around here at the moment. They're all over at the town's amusement park to celebrate 80 years of the successful Purge Aversion, and it's gonna go on for three days. My other compatriots are overlooking the festivities as well." Ginger said as she walked.
"So your one of the leaders of the town?" Charlie asked as Ginger nodded.
"Yeah, to be honest I'm just the third in command, after Serena and Natasha."
"Their women too?"
"All of us are women, yes. And we've made it work." Ginger finished as the group arrived to the amusement park.
