Chapter 7

It opens with Vaggie, Niffty, Alastor, Angel Dust, Sir Pentious, Husk, Richard, Patrick, Jack, David, and Allen all sitting in the hotel's lounge.

Niffty: So, like where are your wings?

Vaggie: Niffty, I don't have--

Vaggie's sentence is cut off by Angel Dust.

Angel Dust: Did you ever think maybe she's sensitive about her lack of wings, just like her lack of tits?

Niffty tugs at Vaggie's shirt.

Niffty: Yeah. Where are your tits?

Vaggie sighs.

Vaggie: Any other questions?

Husk: I got one. How come every time Charlie talks to Heaven we get in deeper and deeper shit? This was way worse than the last time and now Dylan is in the hospital

Vaggie: It's not her fault. Angels are just--

Angel Dust: Liars?

Vaggie: ...difficult. But Charlie's trying her best.

Husk: Yeah, well, her best is turning out real well so far.

Angel Dust: And where is miss fearless leader anyway? Isn't it about time for another "doomed-to-fail" plan?

Vaggie: She's upstairs. Coming up with something, I'm sure, in our room. Alone.

Trevor:I don't know about that

Sinister music starts to play.

Alastor: Hmm.

Alastor vanishes into black smoke. The scene changes showing Charlie in her bed under her covers softly crying. While Razzle and Dazzle comfort her with Tissues. Alastor reappears in her room and approaches her bedside.

Alastor: Oh, Charlie, you look an absolute mess.

Charlie begins to appear annoyed

Charlie: Ugh, go away, Alastor.

Alastor sits down on her bed while Charlie hides again under the covers

Alastor: Now, now is that any way to act after picking a fight with all of Heaven and dooming everyone you love?

Charlie emerges from the covers

Charlie: I have enough on my mind without hearing your sadistic idea of a joke, asshole.

Charlie wraps herself under the covers again, only for Alastor to appear laying beside her.

Alastor: Who's joking?

Charlie scared, jumps and falls off of the bed.

Alastor: You have a captive audience downstairs waiting to hear what kind of inspiring performance you have planned next.

Charlie now leaning on the bed.

Charlie: Ugh, I can't. How can I face them after failing them all so hard?

Alastor repositions himself on his stomach and begins kicking his legs in the air.

Charlie: They came here to be saved and all I gave them was more pain.

Charlie begins tearing up again.

Charlie: I'm just as bad as the cruelest Overlord in Hell. And maybe worse.

Charlie stands and paces back and forth.

Charlie: At least they don't go around giving false hope.

Alastor: Well, I never expected to see such a miserable display of self-loathing from you.

Charlie: Oh, fuck you, Alastor.

Alastor adjusts himself, now laying on his side

Charlie: All you do is stand there, smiling while you watch us struggle and fail. I don't know how you can enjoy all this suffering so much.

Alastor stands up, wraps his fingers on Charlie's shoulder while chuckling.

Alastor: *Chuckles* Just because you see a smile don't think you know what's going on underneath.

Alastor lets go of Charlie

Alastor: *Grabs Charlie's face with his hand and makes her smile* A smile is a valuable tool, my dear.

Alastor: *Let's go of Charlie's face* It inspires your friends, keeps your enemies guessing, and ensures that no matter what comes your way, you're the one in control.

Charlie: But I'm not.

Charlie starts walking towards her bedroom window.

Charlie: I'm the farthest thing from in control. The person I trust most has been lying to me for years. My son is in the hospital. Heaven refuses to listen.

Charlie thuds both fists against the window.

Charlie: Even if they did, I can't prove that the hotel works. Adam has an invincible exorcist Army pointed right at my doorstep and there's nothing I can do

Charlie thuds the window with her fist.

Charlie: *while shouting* about any of it.

Sinister music plays again and Alastor starts smiling.

Alastor: *in a sing song tune* I know something you don't know.

Charlie: Huh?

Alastor walks over and grabs Charlie's arms.

Alastor: Those big, scary angels are not quite as indestructible as they seem.

Alastor let's go of Charlie and walks away.

Charlie: What are you talking about?

Alastor: Just that you and your little band of misfits might stand more of a chance than you think.

Charlie: *desparately* How? I'll do anything.

Alastor: Anything? Then... let's make a deal.

Charlie: You... You want my soul?

Alastor: *sinisterly* Your soul? *brightly* Heavens, no. All i need from you is one itty bitty favor. What's a favor between friends?

Charlie: I won't hurt anyone for you.

Alastor: Who's asking! One favor, at a time of my choosing, where you harm no one. In return, I tell you what I know. Do we have a deal?

Razzle and Dazzle both growl as Charlie puts her hands down to stop them.

Charlie: Deal.

Ominous music plays as both Charlie and Alastor shake hands resulting in a green demon/ghost-like aura flash throughout the room. The scene cuts to Vaggie, Angel Dust, Sir Pentious, Husk, David, Richard, Patrick, Jack, and Allen in the hotel lobby as they observe the flash happen

Vaggie and David begins heading to her and Charlie's room

Vaggie: No. No!

David:Oh shit!

Vaggie and David strains and slams the bedroom door open with her spear and his ice sword in hand.

Alastor: Right on cue!

Vaggie: What did you do? Let her go!

Alastor and Charlie finish there handshake.

Charlie: Vaggie, David Stop!

Both: What?

Vaggie drops her spear.

Vaggie: No, Charlie, please tell me you didn't--

Charlie: I made a deal with Alastor.

Vaggie: *pleads* Charlie.

Alastor: Oh, calm down. She still owns her soul.

Charlie: He gave me info that can save the hotel, but we're going to need help. The angels can be defeated, and Carmilla is the key.

Vaggie: What? Carmilla Carmine?

Charlie: She killed an exorcist in the last extermination. She knows how they can be harmed.

Vaggie: But... I-- I didn't even know that was possible.

Charlie: If you did, would you have told me?

Vaggie: Charlie, I--

Charlie: I need you to go to her, convince her to teach us. If she can, we might have a chance.

Vaggie: With just the fourteen of us?

Charlie: No, we're-- ugh, we're going to need numbers too.

Alastor reenters the conversation.

Alastor: And I know just who can help. As long as Charlie can be her normal, charming self.

Charlie: What's that you said about smiles?

Alastor: *while patting Charlie's head* Good girl.

Vaggie: *whispering* Charlie, can we talk about this--

Charlie: We can talk later. Right now, we have a job to do. You with us?

Vaggie: *sighs* Ugh.

Vaggie and David walks down the stairs, only to be met by a confused Angel Dust.

Angel Dust: So-ho, uh...Alastor and Charlie just left like they were runnin' away from their responsibilities. Should we be alarmed?

Vaggie: No. We have a plan, but it involves protecting ourselves against the angels.

Husk: Wh- are you fuckin' high?

Vaggie: They can be killed-

Frank: Yeah! That knife lady, Camaro Carfight, killed one.

Vaggie: Wait, you knew about this?

Frank: Uh, yeah. I told Boss about it months ago.

Vaggie: *turns to Pentious* He what???

Sir Pentious: What? They say insane shit all the time! how was I supposed to know this one was true?

Egg Boi: Bank accounts are actually a scam created by the shadow government!

Sir Pentious: SEE???

Vaggie: *sighs* what's important now is that we're going to have a fight on our hands. Look, this hotel is about to become the most dangerous place in hell, and we....I, can't guarantee you're safety anymore. I still believe in Charlie's dream. I know this place can work. But none of you signed up for this *heads out the door* I'm gonna go learn how we can fight back, and when I come home....Well I'll understand if none of you are here.

David:You want me to come with you?

Vaggie:no I want you to go to the hospital and check on Dylan and make sure he's ok

David:Really? You sure you want to go alone because we're not a hundred percent sure she will be willing to help us. And knowing you I'm sure things will get heated real quick

Vaggie:I'm positive just go check if Dylan is ok and bring him home

David:Alright

With that, Vaggie and David heads out the door going their separate ways, everyone sighing in worry for what she said.

Sir Pentious: Well...This is awkward.

Niffty: 'Kay!

Cut to Cannibal Town. Alastor escorts Charlie down the streets as he listens to Charlie, cleaning her monocle in the process.

Charlie: Three years! THREE YEARS i've been sharing my life with her, and i tell her EVERYTHING! My hopes, my dreams, my insecurities, my embarrassing habits, what fucking DEODORANT i like, and she keeps something, like this, from ME??? Why would she lie for so long? did she think i wouldn't accept her? What about me? Me says un-understanding? *pauses* misunderstanding *pauses* dis-under, wait wh-

[She pauses for a moment, looking at their current location.]

Charlie: Where are we?

Alastor: Cannibal Town! There's a friend here i think you should meet.

Charlie: in Cannibal Town? But it's...*looks at surroundings* surprisingly nice here.

Alastor: Isn't it though? and it's all thanks to a very special someone

Alastor opens the door for charlie as they enter Rosie's Emporium, where they meet the Cannibal Overlord herself at her desk speaking to a young woman at the front of a long line.

Rosie: well who hasn't thought about eating their first husband? I certainly would if he didn't taste so bad! Hehe, I tell ya what, you bring ol' tall dark and armless to me, and i'll straighten him right out, Okay sweetie? *gives her card* here's my card a- *notices Alastor* Oh, my, stars! Do my eyes deceive me? *peeks through crowd* Alastor? *makes her way through* Alastor! Where have you been??? These halls really lost some of their sparkle without your lively presence and- *notices Charlie* Oh. Who's this ya brought with ya? Come now, Alastor, she's much too young for you! *Charlie rolls her eyes* Just kidding. i know you're an Ace in the hole.

Alastor: A what now?

Rosie: Where are your manners mister? Introduce us why don't ya?

Alastor: Ahh, yes. Charlie, this is Rosie, *Rosie curtsies politely* the most darling, delightful and dangerous Overlord this side of the Pentagram!

Rosie: Oh! always such a charmer.

Alastor: And Rosie, it's my pleasure to introduce you *pushes Charlie up to her* to princess Charlie Morningstar. Daughter of Lucifer and heir to the throne of Hell!

Charlie: How do you do? *waves nervously*

Rosie: Well well! isn't this a regal surprise! *pushes her to desk* Come in! Come in! Lemme get you somethin' to eat. I'm sure we must have a leg around here or somethin'. Oh, what am i thinkin'? *pokes her stomach* A small thing like you? You must probably be watchin' ya figure! How bout some nice pinkie singers instead?

As she spoke she got out a box of cut off pinkie fingers in little pink wrappers.

Charlie: Um...No. no, thank you though.

Rosie: *puts box away* Oh look at you! *pats her head* so polite! Alastor, you could learn a thing o' two

Rosie then proceed to take Charlie to a table with two chairs. she sits her down on one of them and she sits on the one across from her. Alastor walks up to Rosie.

Rosie: Sit down. Sit down. Tell auntie Rosie what she can do for you. Ya know, Alastor. I got a premo-connect on a guy with about eight blocks of territory and not enough goons to run it. Prime pickin's for a deal to be made, my friend

Alastor: Appreciate the offer *walks up to Charlie* but we're here on business of another kind.

Rosie: well don't keep me in suspense! I'm a very busy woman *drinks cup of tea*

Charlie: well, as you know...*panicking* the extermination is coming early and they'll be here in a month, and their coming to my hotel and my friends first, and I-I-I-I-

Alastor: *interrupts* we need your help. Well, your cannibals help at least, to fend off the attack.

Rosie: well! *puts down cup* when you ask a favor ya don't ask for a small one, do ya, your highness? Oh now, don't fret. *gets up* I didn't say i wouldn't help. But i assume there's more to this plan then a bunch of unarmed cannibals.

Alastor: Oh, your people will be far from helpless we're done with them. And by the end, they will be able to eat, their, fill.

Rosie: well, in that case, sure! Why not?

Charlie: Really?

Rosie: what can i say? I like your moxie girl. And hold Alastor has never done me wrong before.

Charlie: Oooh! Thank you *holds her hands* thank you thank you!

It cuts to David arriving at the hospital as he walked towards the front desk.

David:Excuse me I'm here to see prince Dylan Morningstar

Receptionist:Ah yes he is in room 666

David:Thank you *he said before walking off towards the elevator and took up a few floors*

After the elevator stopped at his floor as he walked down the hall before arriving at the room as he walked inside. As he entered he sees Dylan in the hospital bed still out with Nathan and Trevor were sitting by the bed.

David:How is he doing?

Nathan:He's more or less stable for now

David:That's good

Trevor:So everyone is getting ready for the war against heaven?

David:Yes

Nathan:Let's hope that Carmella is willing to help and not kill Vaggie for seemingly knowing she killed an exterminator

Trevor:Yeah

David:Wait so you two and Allen knew about this?

Nathan:Of course we knew but we were told not to tell any of you guys

Trevor:Almost seemed like he knew something like this would happen and it'll be useful later on

David:Yeah....wait I just realized something since this exterminator was killed, then maybe heaven figured it out and found the body hence why they'd cut the extermination in half

Nathan:You really think so?

David:I'm sure even an idiot like Adam would've noticed one of his whores are missing when they returned to heaven

Trevor:And he did they sent a drone to find the body which they did minus the head which was claimed by the three Vs which was why Velvet had it during the meeting of the overlords

David:It's all coming together now

They heard Dylan waking up seemingly completely fine and had no negative effects to him.

Dylan:erm... *he opened his eyes and looks around taking in his surroundings* huh? Where am I?

David:Dylan you're ok!

Dylan:Ow! *he said rubbing his head* not so loud I have a nasty headache

David:That's what's called a hangover

Dylan:How did I get here?

Trevor:Me and Nathan brought you here last night

Nathan:We were watching you the whole time making sure you were ok and we saved you from being hypnotized by Vox

Dylan:Really? I don't know remember that

David:Obviously you wouldn't remember it since you had a lot to drink

Trevor:Well it was very impressive to see you still fend off their guards despite being drunk and high as a kite

Dylan:Wow I'm just as impressed by that too

David:Anyway since you're feeling better now we should get back to the hotel and-

Dylan:No! I'm not going back!

David:But your mothers are worried about you

Dylan:I only have one mother at least she is truthful

David:Oh come on Dylan Vaggie is-

Dylan:Don't mention that name ever

David:Dylan she obviously regretted what she did back then

Dylan:I don't care about the killing I care more about how she's been lying to me all these years which makes me think what else she is hiding from me and you know I hate liers. So no I'm not going back...not as long as she is there...

David:Dylan you can't mean

Dylan:I'm not changing my mind uncle David

David: *he sighs as he then thought about something* I'll be back I'm gonna go make a call *he said as he stepped out of the room*

Trevor:We should leave now we gotta help the others with the hotel

Nathan:Yeah we'll see you later Dylan

Dylan:Ok see you around uncle Nathan and uncle Trevor

Trevor created a shadow portal as both men walked through it. Cut to Vaggie at Carmilla Carmine's house, as she bangs on the door.

Vaggie: *Shouting* Carmine! Carmine, we need to speek.

Vaggie walks up to the security camera and stares at it.

Vaggie: I know what you did on extermination day. We can talk about it inside, or I can yell about it out here.

The door clanks open.

Vaggie: Fuckin' right you open that door.

The door slams shut.

Vaggie: Hello?

Carmilla: *Echoing* You have 2 minutes to convince me not to silence you for good.

A spotlight is turned on revealing Carmilla.

Vaggie: Miss Carmine, I'm here on appointment from the princess to enlist your aid in the defense of hell from the angelic extermination. We know an angel fell at your hands and we need to know how.

Carmilla: No!

Vaggie: What do you mean, no? The princess of hell--

Carmilla: Means nothing to me. You have to do better than that. 90 seconds.

Vaggie: With your knowledge, we wouldn't have to helplessly stand by while--

Carmilla: Clearly I am not the helpless one here. 80 seconds.

Vaggie: Well, then why? Why wouldn't you use what you know to fight?

Carmilla: To avoid the very problem you and your little friends are facing right now. I will not invite destruction into my house, on my people.

Vaggie: You think we asked for this? All Charlie has ever done is try to make things better to help her people who, news flash, include your people too.

Carmilla: And how exactly has that worked out for her? 45 seconds.

Vaggie: We didn't pick this fight, but it's here now. And they aren't going to stop with us. You didn't see the look on their leader's face. With us out of the way, it's only a matter of time before they come for the rest of you. They won't stop until all of hell is wiped out, so you can help us make a stand here together, or you can stand alone tomorrow. And what do you think your chances will be then?

Carmilla: You're out of time.

Carmilla jumps down and kicks Vaggie in the face. Vaggie slides on the floor.

Carmilla: Angels attack quickly, viciously, and without mercy. You'll need to defend better than that.

The scene cuts back to Cannibal Town.

Rosie: *Through megaphone* Cannibals and Cannibettes, assemble in the square.

Rosie walks with Charlie to the stage.

Rosie: Now, darling, you know I would do anything, anything for my clients, but I can't exactly command all of Cannibal Town to follow someone else into battle. Now, don't get me wrong, they love carnage and bloodshed, but to get this group into line, you got to win 'em over. *Through megaphone* Settle in! Settle in! Important meeting.

The cannibals form a crowd around the stage.

Charlie: But how do I--

Rosie: With sparkle! Razzamatazz! and that oh so appealing moxie of yours.

Alastor: Shouldn't be a problem. It's not like you've never failed to inspire before.

Charlie groans as she walks on stage

Rosie: Now, fair warning. This group sticks together. So in order to convince any of them, you'll need to convince all of them. And there's one in particular--

Alastor: Uuuugh, Susan.

Rosie: Susan, who's a bit of an... uh--

Alastor: Ornery old bitch?

Rosie: That! She's tough, but win her over and the rest will be easy as pie. Ready?

Charlie: I guess.

Rosie: *Through megaphone* Everyone we have a very special, very royal guest this evening! Please put your bloody hands together for Princess Charlie!

Charlie smiles awkwardly and waves at the crowd.

Susan: Booooo! Bring Rosie back!

Charlie: Susan?

Rosie and Alastor: Susan.

Charlie: *Laughs nervously* Sorry. Uh, okay, uh, my name's Charlie, and...

Susan and Charlie both speak at the same time.

Charlie: Well, I run this hotel with my part... well someone and...Wait, let me start over. Angels are coming to kill us all and we need help defending our realm. So-- we, uh... we need your help-- With your assistance, we can make a stand for-- *Charlie sings* ♫I...I have a dream♫ and I--

Susan: *Yelling* Booooo! Get off the stage you blue blood bitch! Booo! We don't give a shit about some hotel. Leave before I eat those big ass eyes of yours. Boo! Get off. Where's the showmanship? Where's all the finesse? Fucking mediocre!

Charlie: *flips her off* FUCK YOU YOU OLD BITCH!!!

Cannibal crowd gasps.

Rosie: Okay! We'll be back after a brief intermission.

Rosie moves Charlie away from the stage. Cut back to Vaggie and Carmilla fighting. Vaggie is slammed onto a pillar but then starts charging at Carmilla. Carmilla kicks Vaggie onto the floor. Vaggie gets up and starts charging again. But again, Carmilla kicks her onto the floor. Vaggie gets up and just barley points her spear at Carmilla before being kicked onto the floor again.

Vaggie: Fuck! Ow!

Vaggie gets up, only to be kicked yet again. She strikes at Carmilla twice but she dodges both times and kicks Vaggie again.

Vaggie: Come on, what is this?

Carmilla: You want me to teach you how to beat angels? That's what I'm doing.

Vaggie: By beating the shit out of me? I'm not used to fighting with long hair.

Carmilla: By showing you the flaws in your own fighting style. Yours and all your sisters'.

Vaggie: Wait... you know I'm an exorcist? How?

Carmilla: You have a giant X over your eye and wield an angelic spear. It's not rocket science. Before you found out about me, did you know angels could be harmed?

Vaggie: No.

*Carmilla goes to kick her again but this time Vaggie dodges. She goes for a knee kick, and it hits*

Carmilla: That shows in how you fight. You leave yourself open with every swing. You fight like someone unafraid of harm, and this is what you'll take advantage of. Angels wield no shields, little armor and fight with reckless abandon. Strike them here, here, and here. *Kicks Vaggie in the face 3 times*

Vaggie: Argh! With what? Some secret weapon of yours?

Carmilla: Stupid girl, are you really so dense you don't realize you're holding the answer?

Vaggie: Angelic weapons? It's that simple? How has no one else figured this out?

Carmilla: Angelic steel isn't common, and those who have it aren't exactly rushing off to test it against exorcists.

Scene cuts to a flashback with Carmilla and her daughters, rushing home, trying to avoid exorcists. But as they are running, they get caught by 3 of them.

Carmilla: When my daughters and I were cornered in that last extermination I tried to buy time for my girls to flee, and well... You don't become an angelic arms dealer without arming yourself first.

One of the exorcists flies in the air and charges at Carmilla. She then jumps in the air. The angelic steel blade on her boots sparkle, as she falls down and uses the blades to cut the exorcist's head off. The scene cuts back to Carmilla and Vaggie as Carmilla begins to sing Out For Love.

Carmilla: ♫I see you're driven by your detestation♫

♫Your every step is stoked with animus♫

♫You need a different type of motivation♫

♫Or there's no way that you can handle this♫

♫I know you're thirstin' for vengeance, Vaggie♫

♫You're out for blood♫

♫But you'll only stand a chance if you're out for love♫

♫Out for love~♫

♫Love~♫

.As she sings, Carmilla and Vaggie continue to spare.

Carmilla: ♫Think of who you care about♫

♫Protect them and be out♫

♫For love~♫

♫Love~♫

♫You're gonna fight without gloves♫

♫Long as you're out for love♫

♫Fuel yourself with the fear of losin'♫

♫That somebody who's your reason to live♫

♫Harnеss your heart and you can't help choosin'♫

♫To fight with all you can give♫

♫I know you'rе thirstin' for vengeance, Vaggie♫

♫You're out for blood♫

♫But you'll only stand a chance if you're out for love♫

♫Out for love~♫

♫Love~♫

♫Think of who you care about♫

♫Protect them and be out♫

♫For love~♫

♫Love~♫

♫You're gonna fight without gloves

♫And when that push comes to shove♫

♫Yeah, you just might rise above♫

♫Long as you're out for love♫

*Vaggie jumps into the air when suddenly, she grows a new pair of Angel wings*

Carmilla: Well, look at that. You might just survive this.

Vaggie: We're going to need more weapons.

It cuts back to the hospital as David walked back into the room.

David:Hey kiddo there's someone who wants to see you

Dylan:If it's Vaggie tell her to get the hell out

David:No it's not her it's someone else *he motioned for someone to come in*

The person who walked in was another man who looked familiar to Vaggie who Dylan recognized.

Dylan:Uncle Armondo?

Armondo:Hey Dylan I heard you know...the truth

Dylan:Yeah...Wait if she is a exterminator...then are you

Armondo:No no I'm not an exterminator they're mostly woman but I was an angel *he said as he opened his wings revealing them to be black signifying he is fallen*

Dylan:Woah

Armondo:I know it's a lot to take I but you shouldn't hold it against Vaggie

Dylan:Well why wouldn't she have told me and Mama Charlie about this

Armondo:It's hard to admit something you're not proud of

David:And if you think about it she is at the hotel to redeem herself for what she's done in her past

Dylan: *he looked down* Oh god what have I done *he said as he held his head in his hands*

Armondo:It's never to late to make amends

David:Remember it starts with sorry

Dylan: *he took his out all the I.Vs and other stuff he was hooked up to before standing up from his bed* Let's go home

After putting his clothes back on before he, David, and Armondo walked out of the hospital. Cut back to Rosie and Charlie. The former takes the latter to her room.

Rosie: Alright, what has you so out of sorts, Darlin? Ya clearly got more on your mind than angels

Charlie: *Sighs* What do you do when someone you love lies about who they are?

Rosie: Romance? My specialty! Come on, deare. Details, details!

Charlie: My girlfriend is an Exorcist angel, and she never told me or our son

Rosie: Oh shit! Quite a secret. How does that make you feel?

Charlie: Just, angry, because we share everything, because she always supported me, and my ideas, and-and- and now, I don't know whether or not that was just more of the lies! *gasp* oh no that's a horrible thing to think! Do i think that?! Yes! N-no. Kinda? And our son Dylan he- *voice cracks* I've never seen him that mad. And now he is in the hospital have over indulged in booze and drugs and I'm worried if he'll be ok *sits on couch whimpering*

Rosie: You said you love this girl?

Charlie: Yes. Well, i...yes

Rosie: And have you ever once doubted if she loved you in return?

As she spoke, Rosie sits down next to Charlie, who shakes her head at the question.

Rosie: So, what's the problem?

Charlie: She took part in the very thing we've been working so hard to end!

Rosie: Well, isn't that silly hotel of yours all about redemption?

Charlie: Yes?

Rosie: Perhaps this girl, was trying to redeem herself too

Charlie: She knows more than anyone i believe in second chances, why not tell me?

Rosie: It can be difficult to admit to things you're not proud of, especially if those things hurt the ones you love. She fucked up, sure. She's flawed. But, hey, who down here isn't? If there's anything I've learned, it's that words are cheap, but actions, they speak for the truth. So, what have her actions said?

Charlie: That she believes in me, and what we're doing. Right now she's off learning how to protect everything we've worked for. And, i can't even pitch my hotel right!

Rosie: Well how do you normally explain your hotel?

Charlie: By singing. But that never works

Rosie: It will work here. Trust me

It cuts back to the two of them returning to the square where Alistor is waiting. He hands Charlie his microphone staff.

Charlie: ♫Have you ever wanted something♫

♫That was so clear in your mind that you could taste it?♫

Susan: You mean like human flesh?

Charlie: Eugh, sort of

♫It's a feeling like a rumbling in your gut♫

♫That you could finally be faced with♫

♫A billion needy faces, I guess what I mean to say is♫

♫For the first time in my life♫

♫I might have to be ready for this♫

♫Ready to be the one who's leading from the front♫

♫Gotta come into my own♫

♫Gotta come into my throne♫

♫Gotta take charge and defend my only home♫

♫And although I kinda feel unsteady♫

♫Now I need to be ready for this♫

Charlie marches into the crowd.

Charlie: ♫Have you ever felt like you're willing to die♫

♫To save the people of your city?♫

Susan: By die, you mean use my teeth to rip flesh apart?

Charlie: That's a start!

♫Cause right now, we need a leader♫

♫And it seems to me that♫

♫Destiny has picked me to be that♫

♫If you'll permit me♫

♫So who's with me?♫

Charlie starts dancing.

Charlie: ♫Wouldn't it be super to see more of Hell?♫

♫Join up now if you like travel♫

♫Come on boys, hop in the saddle♫

♫Lotta sights to see en route to my hotel♫

♫Not to mention the camaraderie♫

♫Yes siree, you'll form life-changing friendships♫

♫With the folks along the way♫

Alastor: ♫And feast on all the angels you can eat!♫

Charlie: ♫Okay...♫

Cannibal: Free food? I'm in!

The cannibal crowd join in on the song and start dancing as well.

Cannibal crowd: ♫It's time now to act♫

♫They're on the attack♫

Alastor takes his microphone back and Rosie hands Charlie a parade stick.

♫When they move to strike♫

♫We will fight biting back!♫

♫We'll follow your lead♫

♫We're eager to feed♫

♫We'll sharpen our teeth♫

♫For the heavenly feast!♫

♫From this moment on, you can count on us♫

♫To be resolute and ravenous♫

♫Our appetites are whet♫

♫And we're set to seize the day♫

♫So I say, "Oh hey! Come join the flesh buffet!"♫

Charlie: ♫Well, that's a little violent♫

♫Can we tone it down?♫

Rosie: ♫Oh, don't be put off by their snarlin'♫

♫That's enthusiasm, darlin'!♫

Charlie: ♫Eh, they just seem a little murdery right now♫

Rosie: ♫Don't worry, honey♫

♫That's their thing♫

♫Keep singing♫

Charlie and Rosie: ♫We're super duper grateful♫

♫To have you folks aboard♫

Cannibal crowd: ♫Can't wait to taste an angel's wings♫

Charlie: ♫Oh, Lord...♫

♫For the first time in my life♫

[2 Cannibals grab Charlie and carry her as they all march down the road]

♫Maybe I can be ready for this♫

♫can be the marshal leading the parade♫

♫I can come into my own♫

♫And I think I've always known♫

♫My destiny could never be postponed♫

♫When Adam brings the battle here♫

♫I must appear like I'm ready for this♫

Rosie: ♫They're dancing along♫

♫They're singing her song♫

Alastor: ♫Surprised?♫

♫Why, I knew she could do it all along♫

Rosie and Alastor: ♫She's bound to pass the test as Princess of Hell♫

♫Like her Daddy she is madly power-fell!♫

Alastor: ♫She's filled with potential that I could guide♫

Rosie: ♫I concur♫

Rosie and Alastor: ♫Stick with her, you'll be on the winning side♫

All: ♫For the first time in our lives♫

♫We know that we are ready for this♫

Rosie: ♫ We'll show heaven a fight they won't forget♫

All: ♫It's time to take a stand♫

Charlie: ♫It is time to lend a hand!♫ (Cannibals: Huzzah!)

♫Against the angels and their deadly threat!♫

All: ♫We cannot take it anymore♫

♫The time has come to go to war♫

Susan gives a nod of approval.

All: ♫Prepare to fight, we're ready for...♫

♫THIS!♫

Charlie: ♫I really hope that I'm ready for this...♫

Cuts to both Charlie and Vaggie returning to the Hotel at the same time noticing the Cannibals and weapons.

Vaggie:Looks like you had a busy day

Charlie:You too

Vaggie:Charlie I-

Charlie:Hold that thought. *Digs in her pocket and pulls out a shrunken head* I got you a souvenir from Cannibal Town

Vaggie's eye brims with tears of joy before she hugs Charlie.

Charlie:The wings are new. They look nice. Come on let's go home

Vaggie:Hey...have you heard anything about Dylan?

Armondo:Why don’t you ask him himself

Both girls looked over and saw Armondo floating over them with David and Dylan held by their arms as they set down on the ground.

Vaggie:Armondo? What are you doing here?

Armondo: *referring to David* Your friend here told me about what's going on and I'm here to help you

Vaggie:That's great we need all the help we could get

David:Anyway Dylan has something he wanted to you

Dylan:Mama Vaggie I...I'm really sorry for what I said I was...I was really mad and I wasn't thinking right, I understand if you don't forgive me...

Without any warning Vaggie hugged him tightly.

Vaggie:I don't care, I'm just just so happy that you're ok mijo

Dylan hugged her back and Charlie joined in on the hug too.

Charlie:I'm so happy our family is together again

The three of them entered the hotel and see Husk, Angel, Sir Pentious, Patrick, Richard, Jack, Trevor, and Nathan setting up fortifications.

Angel:Well look who decided to show up. *puts his arms around Husk and Sir Pentious* We thought we were fighting by ourselves

Charlie's eyes fill with tears of joy as Vaggie looked pleasantly stunned.

Vaggie:You're...you're still here?

Sir Pentious:What? Do you think we're a bunch of pusssssies?

Husk:I just got used to you guys. I ain't finding no new drinking buddies

Niffty:I named all the stains on the carpet! *points at a stain* That one's Fred!

Trevor:How's Dylan?

Dylan: *stepping out from behind his mothers* Why not ask me yourself

Everyone else:Dylan!

Charlie:Come on *takes Vaggie's and Dylan's hands* looks like we have a lot of work to do

Later it showed them outside arming everyone for the war.

Alistor: *to Dylan* Ah glad to see you've returned my dear boy!

Dylan:Good to be back uncle Al

Rosie:So this is the young cat you mentioned Alistor

Alistor:Why yes it is, Dylan this is Rosie, *Rosie curtsies politely* the most darling, delightful and dangerous Overlord this side of the Pentagram! And Rosie, it's my pleasure to introduce you *pushes Dylan up to her* to Prince Dylan Morningstar son of Charlie Morningstar, grandson of Lucifer Morningstar and the heir to the throne of Hell

Dylan:Nice to meet you ma'am *he said as he curtsises in return*

Rosie:Oh my what manners just like your mother *she placed her hands on his face* You're so cute I could just eat you up, not literally of course I don't think I'd eat anyone as cute as this

Dylan:Uh hehe th...thanks

Husk:I'm still not sure if we have enough to fight against Adam's army

David:I feel the same way too *smug grin* that's why I called some friends

A series of portals opened and a group of hellhounds walked in, followed by I.M.P, Verosika's crew, Fang, Stolas, Octavia, Sallie Mae, Azzmodious, and Beelzebub

Charlie and Dylan: *ecstatic* Aunt Bee! Uncle Ozzie!

They both hugged them tightly and they eagerly reciprocated.

Blitzo:So this is where you've been shacking up in-between helping with assassinations. I've seen worse

Angel:Well I've also called some friends too

A few cars pulled up in front of the hotel and as the car opened a group of suited men whom they recognized as members of the Russian mob families the Brokoffs and the Stojakovics. The three leading were the sons of Ivan Brokoff Ivan jr and Ryan and the third was their cousin Alexi Kirilenko.

Angel:Hey glad you boys can make it

Ivan:We wouldn't have missed this in the world

Ryan:Or refusing doing a favor for an old friend

Then one more portal opens and everyone turned.

Elliott: *smirks* Right on time

His father Cerberus steps through with a determined glint in his eyes.

Cerberus:Alright everyone. Get ready to defend our home

End Chapter.
