HELLBØUND - Better Understanding // S1 Episode 1
In the middle of the night after midnight, Y/N was seen in bed, thinking about everything that happened, today.
Y/N: *thinking* First, Exorcists of Heaven that kill demons for some reason, a daughter of the King of Hell that wants to redeem Hell, a group of imps and a hellhound taking contracts to kill people in the mortal realm, and finally, a human that's the only living species in Hell. Today has been a very weird one for me and assuredly, everyone. But, I don't understand.
He sits up and looks at the ground.
Y/N: *thinking* Hell is supposed to be a place where damned souls are forever going to be tortured for their sins and Heaven is supposed to be where good people can go, but for some reason, it's like it's reversed. Why? What happened that caused the afterlife to go against what humanity believes in?
He holds his head and groans.
Y/N: *thinking* And then, there's... that scene at IMP. When I killed that kid. He insulted me and my family, but for some reason, something inside of me felt angry. Like it wanted to kill him. I'm not proud of what happened, but I couldn't control it. Maybe there's a way I can prevent that from happening. Until then... I wanna focus on the environment around me, better understand it. From what I understand... It's nothing but sex, murder, and destruction. ... No. There's gotta be more to it than this.
He gets up and looks out the window.
Y/N: *thinking* I'll ask Charlie in the morning. Right now, I should get some sleep for work, tomorrow. Although I'm not a fan of killing... This could help me understand what I'm supposed to do and why I'm here as a human. ... *nods* Well, tomorrow is another day.
He goes back to his bed and tries to sleep.
HELLBØUND - Better Understanding // S1 Episode 1
The next morning, he heads to the lobby to find Charlie, but she wasn't there. He continued to look for Charlie around the hotel until he got to the highest point and was surprised.
Y/N: Whoa...
He looked around for a moment, but then, he found Charlie with a book in her hand, reading it.
Y/N: Hey, Charlie.
Charlie: *startled* Huh?! What?
Y/N: Whoa!
Charlie: *sighs in relief* Sorry about that.
Y/N: No, no! I'm sorry for startling you like that! I didn't mean to do that.
Charlie: No, I mean, it's hard to get used to the fact that you're human. It's not often we'd see an actual human. Especially for my family.
Y/N: ... I understand. It's... hard for me to adjust in a world where I'm the only human that's in Hell. I still feel like I'm dreaming.
Charlie: *chuckles*
Y/N: ... Ahem. Anyways, I've been looking for you.
Charlie: Why's that so?
Y/N: Because last night, I've wanted to learn more about Hell and what it stands as instead of it being a realm for damned souls. I was wondering if... you could share with me some history? Since this is going to be my home, y'know.
Charlie: ... Well, you're lucky you found me with this book. I often come up here when I want to get away from what's going on out there. Or if I want some time to myself.
Y/N: ... Is this a-
Charlie: No. You're okay. Please, sit.
Y/N nodded and sat down next to her as she opened the book.
Charlie: You might want to get comfortable. It's a long story.
Y/N: Okay, then.
The story begins with a depiction of the universe where Heaven lies in the sky with its golden gates shining. The narrator, Charlie Morningstar, begins to tell a story of how the universe was created by beings called Angels, and as the narration goes on, the images shows the silhouette of her father, Lucifer Morningstar, creating fireworks, which draws the ire wrath of the angels for his behavior. The angels then created the place called Earth where they create the first humans, Adam and Lilith. Lilith rejected Adam and flees from the garden where she meet Lucifer, and fell in love. They came to Eve, Adam's new bride, to offer her an apple from a tree to bring free will to humanity, but the Earth was shattered by darkness that was unleashed by them. The angels banished Lucifer and Eve from Heaven and Earth, and into the depths of pit black and darkness realm now called Hell. While Lucifer stagnated, Lilith thrived and brought Hell to new heights, leading the angels to start the yearly Extermination, as population control for the overpopulated demons and sinners.
Charlie: Once upon a time, there was a glowing city protected by golden gates, known as Heaven. It was ruled by beings of pure light. Angels that worshiped good and shielded all from evil. Lucifer was one of these angels. He was a dreamer with fantastical ideas for all of creation. But, he was seen as a troublemaker by the elders of Heaven. For they felt his way of thinking was dangerous to the order of their world. So, he watched as the angels began to expand the universe in their ways. From the dust of Earth, they created Adam and Lilith. Equals as the first of mankind, but despite this, Adam demanded control, and Lilith refused to submit to his will. She fled the Garden. Drawn in by her fierce independence, Lucifer found her and the two rebellious dreamers fell deeply in love. Together, they wished to share the magic of free will with humanity, offering the Fruit of Knowledge to Adam's new bride, Eve, who gladly accepted. But this gift came with a curse. For with this single act of disobedience, evil finally found its way into the Earth. With it, a new realm of darkness and sin. And the order Heaven worked to maintain was shattered. As punishment for their reckless act, Heaven cast Lucifer and his love into the dark pit he had created, never allowing him to see the good that came from humanity, only the cruel and the wicked. Ashamed, Lucifer lost his will to dream. But Lilith thrived, empowering demonkind with her voice and her songs. And as the numbers of Hell grew, so did its power. Threatened by this, Heaven made a truly heartless decision. That every year, they would send down an army, an Extermination, to ensure Hell and its sinners could never rise against them. But Lilith's hope remained. And her dream was passed down to their precious daughter, the Princess of Hell.
As Charlie finishes narrating, she closes a book titled "The Story of Hell" and looks out to Pentagram City.
Y/N: ... I got nothing. I mean, I don't know where to begin. Like... Lucifer was a dreamer? And Adam... I mean, I knew he was an asshole, but to demand Lilith to obey him? That's fucked up.
Charlie: Yeah...
Y/N: ... So... What about the present day?
Charlie: My Dad is at his place doing God knows what. And Mom... I've never heard from her. It's been a while...
Y/N: *eyes widened* ... *holds Charlie's shoulder* I'm sorry. I know it must've been rough for you. And Lucifer.
Charlie: It was.
Y/N: ... Not to kill the mood, but I can't believe Heaven would do something that fucked up! I mean, I get why they're doing it, but to invade Hell and murder countless sinners so that they wouldn't take a stand?
Charlie: I know. I know how you feel. N/N, no one's ever stood up against Heaven because they were afraid of the fact that they can't be killed. Even... Even I was afraid...
Y/N: *stands up* But, aren't you tired of living a life full of fear? It's no way to live.
Charlie: It is what it is, N/N.
Y/N: No, it isn't, Charlie. Just because they can't be killed, doesn't mean it should be a reason why you can't fight back! This is your home. You should fight for it!
Charlie: Yeah, but these people are dumbasses. They don't care about what I do for them.
Y/N: Yet you made the hotel to save these people from extermination! Charlie, that act, right there, is you working hard to pursuing your goals, no matter what anyone says! And even if you couldn't make the hotel because of them, you can't let them drag you and your dreams down like that. You shouldn't listen to shit that doesn't help you.
Charlie: Hard to do so when life is full of that.
Y/N: So?
Meanwhile, Vaggie was on her way to find Charlie, but heard Y/N's voice nearby.
Y/N: *distant* That doesn't mean you should just call in quits and give up. You must learn to be yourself and let your dreams fly, no matter what everyone says.
Vaggie goes to the top and looks through the door to see Y/N talking to Charlie.
Y/N: Charlie... *kneels down & holds Charlie's shoulder* I know nothing about your mother, but you said it yourself. You carry Lilith's hopes and dreams. If anything, she sounds like a good person than what humanity has claimed her to be. Her spirit resides in you. That's what drove you to make the hotel. That small smouldering flame is the reason you're you. Don't ever let anyone light it out because if you keep it at a steady pace and care for it, the flame will build up to be a burning fire that can't be put out, no matter what. Small victories, Charlie. That's the fuel it needs. It may not be much, but even the tiniest achievement can change the world.
Charlie looked at Y/N, surprised at what he said.
Charlie: ... I-In all my life, no one's ever said that to me. But, to think a human would say such things.
Y/N: Believe me when I say this. There's no shame in asking for help. If you ever need it, the people that care about you will be there. Like Vaggie and I, for example. We'll be there. Just don't let anyone say shit that don't help you with your dream. Can you do that for me?
Charlie: ... *smiles & nods* Yeah. I can do that. Thanks, N/N.
Y/N: *nods* You're welcome.
Charlie: Would you... like to learn more about Hell? Before you head to work?
Y/N: Sure. I got some time to kill.
Charlie grabbed the book and opened it, teaching Y/N about Hell. Vaggie smiled as she watched it all play out while deep down, she was surprised to know that Y/N was willing to say what he did to her. After learning the importance of Hell, Y/N heads out to IMP with knowledge of Hell and its history. However, as he sat in the limo, he tried to think through on what he learned and what he should do now that he's the only human in Hell. Questions, doubts, and confusion coarsed through his mind, trying to figure out his next move.
Y/N: ...
Meanwhile, Moxxie was seen holding a black and red crossbow in his hands. In front of him is Loona holding a picture of a smiling family. A father, a mother, a baby and two children. His arms are shaking as the pointer hovers around the man's crotch area.
Millie: Moxxie, stop shakin'! You're gonna shoot our only hellhound!
Loona lies on the gray couch and holds up the family picture in one hand and her phone in the other.
Loona: *sarcastically* Wow. I feel so loved here.
Millie: Just take a deep breath and let it out!
Moxxie: But... it's a family! Under what circumstances would we ever need to kill a human family?
Millie: I mean, if that's what the client wants.
Moxxie: Maybe like a shitty dad. Or a mob family. That's understandable. But to eradicate an entire innocent, seemingly, in this instance, upper middle class family bloodline?
Loona looks at the picture as she thinks for a moment.
Loona: Hey! You don't know they're innocent! *points at boy* This kid probably sets dogs on fire! *points at girl* Maybe this girl gets off to bullying Australian kids online! *points at father* And this guy... This guy definitely watches.
Millie: Exactly! Humans are full of secret nasties. It's why so many of them end up here. ... E-Except for Y/N. He's an exception, even though he's the first human in Hell.
Loona: ...
Moxxie: But-
Millie: Guilty and innocent aren't our business, Mox.
She cups Moxxie's cheeks as she shakes them.
Millie: Killin' who we're paid to is our business. Shoot the target. *kisses him*
Moxxie: I just think it's a bit excessive, and we could be a bit more selective, is all. By the way, where's N/N? He should've been here, by now.
Blitzø barges into the room followed by Mrs. Mayberry.
Blitzø: Guys! I want you to meet-
A startled Moxxie accidentally fires his arrow and it ricochets around the room. Millie jumps into Moxxie's arms as the arrow hits a computer. The arrow then flies and creates a hole in the family picture that a stunned Loona is holding. The arrow hits the bottom of a tank with eels and the tank starts to wobble dangerously, but Blitzø catches the arrow before it could hit Mayberry.
Blitzø: ... our newest client!
The eel tank falls down, gaining their attention. Glass and water spill on the floor. The eels fall out and bursts into electricity, setting the room on fire.
Blitzø: Dammit, Moxxie! I just bought those eels!
Outside the building, imp firefighters carry the eels away and head into a red fire truck. Mrs. Mayberry drives off in a yellow taxi cab as Blitzø waves goodbye. Meanwhile, Y/N managed to arrive and left the limo, only to be shocked as to what's going on.
Y/N: Holy shit...!
Blitzø: Bye! And, don't worry, we'll get that skank in less than twenty-four hours or your first kill is free!
Blitzø waves as the car drives away.
Moxxie: When did we start implementing that deal?
Blitzø turns with a glare to Moxxie.
Blitzø: When you set fire to my office in front of a CLIENT, YOU FUCKIN' DICK SHIT!!
Blitzø grabs Moxxie's face and pushes him away.
Blitzo: Now, someone PLEASE tell me that fancy book is still intact!
Loona: You mean... our only ticket to the other side? *pulls out the grimoire* Yeah. Got it.
Blitzø: And that's why you're my favorite, Loonie. *baby talk voice* You get a tweat, now!
Blitzø holds up a dog biscuit to her.
Loona: Ew. Stop.
Blitzø throws the treat into the air and catches it with his tongue, like a frog. He pulls it into his mouth and chews. Y/N gagged and looked away.
Loona: *slams book close* You're so gross!
Millie draws a pentagram with chalk on the wall. It glows red and creates a portal to the human world.
Blitzø: Aww, stop it. I get enough of that from my therapist.
Loona rolls her eyes.
Y/N: Hey, guys. Sorry I'm late.
Blitzø: Y/N! Where the hell have you been?
Y/N: Researching. On Hell's backstory. Nothing important.
Moxxie: If it wasn't important, why were you late?
Y/N: Look, I lost track of time reading, okay? Hop off my ass! *sighs in annoyance*
Loona: And I thought I was the only one who had to deal with Moxxie's bullshit...
Y/N: ... Anyways, what did I miss?
Blitzø: We're hired to kill a mother who carries a false identity of a hero. Her location is in a cabin in the woods. Care to come with us?
Y/N: Sure. Why not. ... Wait... *looks at Loona* What about her? Is she coming with us?
Blitzø: Actually, N/N, I need Loona to stay behind and attend to the building while it's in repairs.
Loona: What?!
Blitzø: Loonie, don't argue with me. We can't have anything bad happen to you, okay? So, please?
Loona: *growls* Fine!
Y/N: ...
Loona: *looks at Y/N* ... What?
Y/N: Nothing. Sorry. ... I'll explain, later.
Loona: ...
Blitzø puts his hand on Moxxie's face, who struggles to walk to Millie.
Blitzo: Now, let's go lick some ass!
Y/N: The expression is "kick some ass", Blitzø.
Millie snaps her fingers at Blitzø as she walks through the portal.
Blitzø: Mine's better.
Y/N: N-No, it isn't...
Loona: ... N-N/N, wait!
Y/N: *turns to Loona* Huh?
Loona: *blushes* ... J-Just... be careful. Okay?
Y/N: ... *smiles* Sure.
Loona smiled softly and Y/N returned it as they both stared at each other's eyes.
Blitzø: Y/N! Let's fucking go, already! *walks through portal*
Moxxie: *sighs* Aww, fuck...
Moxxie walks through the portal.
Y/N: I... better get going, then.
Loona: Good luck, N/N.
Y/N: Thanks.
He then walked through the portal and all three imps and Y/N stood in front of a small red house by the lake as the sun sets. Blitzø and Moxxie lean against the side of the house, rising from bushes. Blitzø stands up and peers into the window.
Blitzø: That's gotta be her. *chuckles darkly* This is too easy. Moxxie, do you want this one?
Moxxie looks pleasantly surprised.
Moxxie: Me?
Blitzø: Yeah, this one's simple enough for you to handle.
Moxxie stands up and peers through the window. His faces falls as he looks at the family having dinner.
Blitzø: It's just a happy mother who just got out of the hospital.
Y/N: More like a sick and sadistic cannibal.
Martha and Ralphie affectionately rub each other's noses. Martha holds a dinner platter in her hand. Moxxie hesitates at the window.
Blitzø: You snooze, you lose, Mox!
Martha's face is seen in a reflector, her doe eyes wide and blinking innocently.
Blitzø: And I've got ya, bitch.
Moxxie: Wait... Are we actually killing a family?!
Blitzø: No, don't be a puss. We're just killing a mother.
He positions his rifle.
Blitzø: We're ruining a family!
The rifle clicks.
Moxxie: But... Ho-Hold on, hold on! Let's just think about it.
Moxxie lifts up Blitzø's gun as he fires. All four family members gasp in fear.
Martha: What was that, Ralphie?
Ralphie: *shakes his head* I dunno, Martha! But, whatever it is...
He rins evilly as he stands up holding a rifle in his hands.
Ralphie: ... They're gonna be tomorrow night's dinner!
Martha sets the platter on the table and pulls out another rifle. She drinks a glass of wine and smashes it onto the floor.
Martha: Alright, kids! Guns out!
The boy pulls out a small gun from his beaver-skin hat. The girl pulls out another rifle. All of them have evil grins of sharp teeth.
Ralphie: Looks like we got some rabbits to catch, young'uns! *chuckles darkly*
Y/N: Shit! They're onto us!
Blitzø: What the fuck was that, Moxxie?!
Moxxie wheezes anxiously, eye twitching. He lets out a croak with his snake-like tongue out. He then falls to his knees, hands over his face.
Moxxie: I'm sorry. They just seemed so wholesome and happy.
Tears fall from Moxxie's eyes as he takes more breaths.
Moxxie: I panicked!
Blitzø facepalms.
Blitzø: Oh, who the fuck is innocent, Moxxie?! From the moment of birth, you're already a parasite leeching off your momma's tits!
Blitzø leans in and pokes Moxxie's head.
Blitzø: Get the FUCK over yourself, you baby dick prune!
A blast shoots through the wall and hits Blitzø in the arm, black blood flying out.
Y/N: BLITZØ!!!
Blitzø: AAAAH! A new hole! SCATTER!
Blitzø and Millie flee the scene and Moxxie hides in the bushes while Y/N ran through the forest. Another hole appears and part of the wall explodes. Ralphie and Martha grin and leap through the large hole with guns drawn. Moxxie peers out from the bushes and rapidly looks around. A child's hand grabs Moxxie by his tail and he yelps. Ralphie fires at Millie who flips backwards and dives into the lake.
Ralphie: Where'd you go, little critter?! Y'all can't hide long from me!
Millie is seen with her head above the water under the dock. A knife is in her mouth. Millie breaks through the dock and lands on it, with her knife and a grin. Ralphie swings a glass bottle and Millie runs behind him out of the way. Millie jumps up in the air, knife in both hands. Ralphie swings his bottle upwards, knocking Millie in the head. She cries out and falls to the ground. She struggles to stand, but collapses onto the dock. Her eyes twitch. Ralphie smiles evilly down at her as the cloudy sky spirals red. Moxxie opens his eyes and gasps with a squeak to find himself tied to a stitched up dead body in a chair. Moxxie's face falls in fear as he looks at the girl and boy. Both their eyes are red and devious sharp grins form on their faces. Moxxie tries to defuse the situation.
Moxxie: Oh! Well, hello there, little ones. Aren't you cute?
Both kids speak in low creepy tones, the boy finishing seconds after the girl, speaking instantly after Moxxie.
Kids: It's nice to have a new critter to play with.
Moxxie glances up in fear at a red light above him. The light reveals a human head high up and several limbs on plaques. The wooden walls are stained with red blood. Two plaques hold stitched up faces of skin. A larger plaque displays a dead man with long white hair, arms crossed, eyes and teeth bulging out. His upper chest is connected to the plaque. A picture frame made of bones reveals another face made of skin inside it. Human skin is tacked to the wall with "Bless this mess" stitched onto it. Moxxie looks and sees a dead human body on a platter in front of him, an apple in the human's mouth. Organs are in a nearby bowl.
Moxxie: Ohh... crumbs.
The scene cuts to four gunshots ringing out in the woods. Blitzø and Y/N dashes through a bush. Martha's evil laughter follows as Blitzø and Y/N runs through the forest. He slides down a hill and catches their breath at the bottom.
Y/N: Blitzø, remind me to kick Moxxie's ass when this is finished.
Blitzø: Duly noted.
Martha: I know you're hurtin', little devil!
Blitzø takes deep breaths as he leans against a tree and Y/N hid in the bushes nearby. His eyes go wide as he covers his mouth. A silhouette of Martha is shown walking through the woods.
Martha: I promise, that I can make that pain go real quick! Just come let Mama Martha put a bullet in your pretty little skull!
Blitzø sighs in relief before his phone lets out a yelling ringtone. Blitzø pulls out his phone and it flips through the air.
Blitzø: *whispers* Dammit!
Y/N: *whispers* Blitzø!
Blitzø tries to grab hold of the phone eventually doing so, then he holds it to his ear.
Blitzø: *whispers* Stolas! This is a really bad time.
Stolas is shown in his palace relaxing in a bathtub. There are candles with blue flames around the tub.
Stolas: Mm, when isn't it a bad time, Blitzy?
Blitzø: What is it?!
Stolas: I've been meaning to follow up on our last little conversation regarding my grimoire?
Blitzø's angry face appears in a bubble.
Blitzø: What did you just call me?!
Stolas pops the bubble with his finger.
Stolas: My book, Blitzy. The book I was given to do my job? That I have allowed you to use to do yours?
Blitzø and Y/N look scared as a rifle clicks. A bullet flies through the tree where Blitzø was moments before. A shadow of Martha with red eyes and mouth appears through the hole.
Martha: I can HEAR you, darlin'!
Blitzø: Shit!
Stolas: Anywho, I have been thinking. You know, I have been... permitting you to access the mortal realm less than... legally for quite some time now, but I do need it back to fulfill my duties. I was thinking, what if we worked out some kind of exchange? Favors for favors?
Stolas runs his finger on the edge of the tub. He makes walking motions with his fingers as they begin glow red. Blitzø and Y/N continued running through the woods. A bullet hits a tree and Blitzø duck behind another one while Y/N continued running.
Stolas: Doesn't that sound... enticing?
Blitzø: You gotta stop using your fancy ass rich people talk, okay? I'm trying to concentrate on not getting fucked in my A!
A bullet hits the tree that Blitzø is hiding behind.
Stolas: Then, let me keep it simple. Once a month, on the full moon, you return the book to me, followed by a night of...
Stolas' eyes glow red and he lowers himself into the water with a lustful look.
Stolas: ... Passionate fornication.
Stolas leans slightly over the edge.
Stolas: And you get to keep it all the rest of the time, hmm? Sound fair, my little Imp?
Blitzø: Fine! Whatever!
Stolas: *through the phone* Ohhh, Blitzo! I'm so excited! I cannot wait to feel your slimy (bleeped) inside of my (bleeped). To (bleeped) the-
Blitzø cringes and closes his eyes as Stolas rambles on about his lust for Blitzø. Blitzø drops his phone as he is pinned to the tree by the butt of Martha's gun. Stolas continues talking on the phone through censored bleeps.
Martha: Gotcha! So, you're a little devil, huh? Come to drag me and my kin to Hell? Well... NOT TODAY, SATAN!
She presses the gun harder into Blitzø.
Martha: Gonna send y'all back where ya came from!
Y/N watched and hid, again.
Y/N: Blitzø!
He then leaped through the bushes and rushed to Blitzø's aid, but Martha held her gun at Y/N.
Martha: Well, well, look what the cat dragged in.
Y/N looked at Martha's eyes as sweat dripped from his head.
Y/N: Let him go, you bitch!
Martha: What? You're choosing to side with this demon scum?
Y/N: That "demon scum" is my friend!
Blitzø: *eyes widen*
Martha: Your friend? *laughs* How fucking preposterous!
Y/N growled and clenched his fists, but then, his eyes flashed demonically.
Y/N: I'll show you "preposterous" when I take that gun and shove it down your throat to the point, I'll pull the trigger and your insides will be outsides!
Y/N widened his eyes at what he said.
Martha: Thanks for the idea, kiddo. When I'm done sending this little demons to Hell, I'll be sure to try it out on another one.
Y/N: You won't succeed even once, so why don't you put the gun down and we'll settle this?
Martha: Tempting, but...
She then shot the gun at Y/N's leg and he collapsed onto the ground as he cried out in pain.
Blitzø: Y/N!
Martha: I'd love to take you to my personal crib, but I've got other business to attend to. Don't go dying without me, will ya? *walks away with Blitzø*
Y/N: Fucking bitch...! When I get back up, I swear to God, I'll-
Martha shot a bullet near Y/N.
Martha: And I would love to see you try, "hero". *laughs maniacally & walks away*
As she did, Y/N tried to get back up, but ended up falling to the ground as more blood leaked from his leg.
Y/N: Damnit! Come on, N/N. Get up. Get up! Just go with the pain. AH!
He tried to get back up, but collapsed again. He looked ahead and glared angrily as he clenched his fist.
Y/N: That... fucking... bitch...! I don't know much... about her... But, I can tell... from the look in her eyes... that she's a monster beyond reasoning! ... She's gonna kill Blitzø... if I don't get up... and hurry... D-Damnit! Damnit, damnit, damnit!
He slammed his fist to the ground and tried to get back up as sweat was dripping from his face and blood leaked from his leg. However, as he was on the ground, a static flashback began to occur in his head, showing an image of two tall figures, smiling and laughing. In front of him was his parents' dead corpses. With the flashback playing in his head, he began to tremble in anger and suddenly, his leg was starting to heal as the bullet got out of his leg. The blood was evaporating and as he growled in anger, Y/N opened his eyes and they flashed demonically. Meanwhile, Moxxie was seen struggling to free himself from the rope, but his hands tied behind his back. He looks up and gasps as he sees fires being lit from outside. A hangman's noose hangs from the wall.
Moxxie: Millie!
He looks at the blade and then glares with determination. The girl raises the knife but Moxxie pushes the chair backwards, knocking her to the ground. He frees himself with the knife. A silhouette of Moxxie appears as he breaks through the window, holding his gun. A "Live, Laugh, Love," sign hangs from inside the room. He races outside through the forest, where red symbols hang from tree branches. There are torches in rows and tents. A full moon appears in the sky. The camera pans down to reveal Millie and Blitzo tied to a stake decorated with spikes at the top. Ralphie laughs as he pours gasoline on the ground under their feet. Nearby, a grinning Martha holds a torch in her left hand.
Blitzø: *sighs* I had that fucking shot. Goddammit, Moxxie!
Millie: Where's Y/N?
Blitzø: How the fat tits should I know?
Millie: You lost him?! ... At least he didn't get captured.
Blitzø: Yeah... Lucky him.
Martha wears skull earrings, jeans and a low-cut shirt with polka dots. Her eyes are red and her hair is thick and blonde.
Martha: Satan! We return your FILTHY creatures back to the pits of Hell!
Martha rises her torch as Blitzø and Millie struggle to free themselves.
Martha: May the root of evil remain honored as we continue thy WORK!
Martha tosses the torch to the ground, where it lands under Blitzø and Millie. The flames rise up around Blitzø and Millie, but they remain unharmed.
Blitzo: Yeah, that's not exactly how it works, lady. Sorry, your fire doesn't really hurt us, but, I mean, I could fake it if that'll get your dick hard.
Millie and Blitzø smirk. Martha stares confused.
Martha: Oh. Shit.
Martha rolls her eyes.
Martha: Well... I'll just shoot you in your smart-ass mouth!
She grins and pulls out her rifle.
Blitzø: That would be more effective.
Millie: *angrily* Blitzø!
Martha laughs evilly again as she aims her rifle at the imps. Both imps close their eyes and flinch.
???: ENOUGH!
Everyone looked through the bushes to see Y/N walking through them with his hair over his eyes.
Millie: Y/N!
Blitzø: Wait, how did you get here? Your leg is supposed to be shot!
Millie: What?
Blitzø: N-Nothing!
Martha: What? How are you still...?
Y/N lifted his head up to the point, his hair moved aside and his eyes were demonic. Everyone was shocked to see this.
Y/N (Demon): Satan's not here to answer the call, so I guess I'll have to do.
Martha: ...
Y/N (Demon): But, the filthy creature that will be sent to Hell is you. I have a job to do, so it's nothing personal. ... Okay, it is, a little. But, it's just... business.
Martha: Ha! Like I'm the one that will be sent to Hell. You'll go in my place!
She shoots at Y/N at his head, but suddenly, he catches it as it was at an inch at his forehead.
Martha: *eyes widen* I-Impossible!
Ralphie: It can't be! You're not supposed to do that, even if you are a demon!
Y/N (Demon): Oh, I'm no demon. *drops bullet* Just a human who was given this kind of power.
Millie: *thinking* "Given"? ... *eyes widen* W-Wait... Is he referring to...?
Y/N (Demon): I have no contract to kill your husband and children, but if they stand in my way, that will change. Make no mistake about this. If anyone protects her, they'll die, too.
Ralphie: I'll take my chances!
Martha continues to shoot Y/N, but Y/N deflected the bullets away from him and scattered them to different places as he slowly approached the two. Then, when Y/N smacked a bullet away, it landed towards Martha, making her yelp and drop the gun. Y/N then rushed to her and when he got close, he pushed Ralphie aside and grabbed Martha by the neck, lifting her from the ground.
Martha: *choking*
Y/N (Demon): Give my regards to your tortured victims when you see them... in Hell!
However, gunfire was heard and everyone, but Y/N, flinched.
Blitzø: Y/N!
Y/N looked down to see he was bleeding from his chest. He then turned around to see the two kids holding Martha's gun as it was smoking from the barrel.
Martha: *laughs* Good shot... kids!
She continues to laugh, but then, stopped as she realized that Y/N wasn't falling down and his grip didn't loosen.
Y/N (Demon): Did you think a mere bullet wound can kill me?
He lets go of her and turns around to the children.
Y/N (Demon): I said that anyone that protects this bitch will die.
The kids dropped the gun as they stared in surprise and Y/N's bullet wound healed up.
Y/N (Demon): Time to show you what I mean, you worthless little shits!
He then charged at the children as they continued to shoot him. Y/N smacked the gun away and grabs them both by their necks.
Y/N (Demon): To be honest with you, I wanted to spare you since you all seemed to be a happy family, but looking at you clearly, you really are monsters. And monsters like you... don't deserve to live in this world!
However, Y/N heard someone shoot Martha through her head and her eyeball popped out. She collapsed dead on the ground.
Y/N (Demon): *turns around* Huh?
Millie: Moxxie!
Moxxie runs over and unties the rope, freeing Blitzø and Millie.
Blitzø: You're not gettin' your goddamn paycheck for this one, Mox!
Blitzø falls down. Moxxie and Millie smile at each other and embrace. They both move their heads. Y/N watched this go down and looked at the kids in his hands. He growled softly and hardened his grips to the point, a couple of snaps were heard and he sighed as he drops the bodies. His eyes then returned to normal and he shook his head.
Y/N: *groans* Wait, what happened?
Blitzø: *sarcastically* Oh, yeah, thanks! I'm fine!
Moxxie helps Blitzø up and supports him as Y/N runs to them.
Y/N: Is everyone okay?
Blitzø: Just peachy.
Y/N: *looks at Blitzø's arm* Shit, Blitzø, you're hurt! H-Hold on.
He rips the sleeve of his shirt and wraps it around Blitzø's bullet wound. He hissed in pain and tensed up.
Y/N: Hey, be still or you won't get a lollipop.
Blitzø pouts and after a while, Y/N tied a good knot and stood up.
Y/N: There, that should do it. For now.
Blitzø: ... Thanks...
Y/N: *nods*
He then looks ahead of himself and walks away.
Moxxie: I'm sorry, sir. I compromised our objective and put us in harm's way. It won't happen again. I promise.
Blitzø pulls Moxxie into a hug.
Blitzø: Apology accepted. *speaks in a low voice* But, if you ever pull a stunt like this again, I will fuck you and your wife.
Blitzø lets go as Moxxie looks fearfully. Millie raises her arms in a cheer.
Blitzø: Wait, where's N/N?
Moxxie was about to answer, but Y/N emerged from the bushes with Ralphie's corpse in his hand.
Y/N: Sorry for the wait. Had to take a bit of a detour. No witnesses, right?
Blitzø: *laughs* Y/N, you fucking beast!
He rushed to Y/N and kissed his cheek and Y/N pushed him off.
Y/N: Don't fucking kiss me, Blitzø! Yuck! You're so gross!
Blitzø: At least we're all back together and in one piece. Well, except me for getting blown in my arm.
Y/N: I'm sure it'll heal. Now, can we please go back to Hell? I don't know about you guys, but... For some reason, this doesn't... feel like home to me, anymore.
Moxxie: You okay?
Y/N: I'll be fine.
Blitzø grabbed his phone and called Loona. After a while, the portal opened and they walked through it. After a while, Mayberry, Loona, Y/N, and the imps celebrating their victory. A white banner reads "killed the bitch" in red letters. Loona and Mrs. Mayberry are holding pieces of cake on their plates. Blitzø has his arm in a sling. Everyone is wearing party hats. Everyone laughs and cheers except Moxxie, who sits with a distressed look on his face as Y/N was sitting on the couch, enjoying his cake.
Millie: *excitedly* Ahhh, did you see how Moxxie and Y/N handled the situation?!
Mrs. Mayberry: Yay!
Millie: *hugs Moxxie* We did it! Oh, Moxxie!
Blitzø: Well, here's to another mission accomplished! And Moxxie finally learned not to fuck up.
Millie rubs Moxxie's head.
Millie: And killin' people isn't that big of a deal if they try to kill you back!
Mrs. Mayberry: That's messed up. But, I paid for it!
Everyone except Moxxie laughs. Blitzø raises a fist.
Blitzø: Yeah, fuck that family!
Soon, the party continued and as everyone continued to talk, Y/N watched and smiled, but frowned and walked away.
Loona: Hey, Millie. Where's N/N?
Millie: Hm? *looks around* I'm... not sure. Maybe he left.
Loona: In the middle of a party? Hang on.
She sets her cake down and rushed out the door.
Millie: Yep. She likes him.
After a while...
Loona: Y/N!
She got to the lower level of the building and saw Y/N.
Y/N: Huh? Oh. Hey, Loona.
Loona: Hey, what's wrong? Why'd you leave? The party's still going.
Y/N: ... I'm a little tired after what happened. That party ruckus was giving me a little headache.
Loona: Oh.
Y/N: Yeah. I think I'm gonna turn in and get some shut eye. *yawns*
Loona: Right. ... Well... Come on. I'll take you home. You shouldn't trouble yourself.
Y/N: No!
Loona: *flinches*
Y/N: I-I mean, no. You shouldn't have to trouble yourself. I can take it from here. I'll be okay.
Loona: Okay. Stay safe.
Y/N: Will do.
Loona walked away, but stopped.
Loona: W-Wait!
Y/N: Hm?
Loona: ... U-Umm... If you're... If you're feeling up to it... W-Would you... like to... Uh... Would you like to hang out tomorrow?
Y/N: Hang out?
Loona: I-It's alright if you don't want to. I understand.
Y/N: N-No, no! I do want to. I'm just... surprised. What did you have in mind?
Loona: I-I'm not sure... Whatever you want to do, I guess... A-As long as we're just hanging out.
Y/N: Sure. I don't mind.
Loona smiled and rubbed her arm shyly.
Loona: G-Great. I'll see you tomorrow.
Y/N: ... Wait, Blitzø won't mind, will he?
Loona: *frowns* Please, don't bring him into this. Besides, you know how he is.
Y/N: Yeah, that's why I asked.
Loona: ... *sighs* Don't worry about him. I'll think of something.
Y/N: Okay. See you, then.
Loona nods and Y/N walks away and when he's out of view, Loona smiles. With Y/N, he arrived at the Happy Hotel in the limo and exited the vehicle with a lot on his mind.
Y/N: *thinking* Those people... They completely acted like monsters. No... Demons, maybe. ... I mean, I'm glad that the world can be a safe place without them, but... How many more of them are there? ... *eyes widen* Wait a fucking minute...!
He rushes inside the hotel and up to the top. He looked for the golden book and opened it as he reread the story.
Y/N: *thinking* This can't be a coincidence... A hotel that redeems souls and assassins that punish the guilty... What if... What if there's a way to do both punish the guilty and redeem them when they go to Hell? It's a bit of a long shot since both sides probably won't see eye-to-eye, but it's fucking perfect! ... But... We can't have the humans knowing about me when they see my face. They'll probably not visit the hotel because I'm here... I'll think of something, but this is off to a good start. ... Yet... This feels... wrong...
He looks out the window.
Y/N: *thinking* If I'm gonna be doing this, then there's a chance that Charlie and Blitzø will find out that I'm working on both sides. That could potentially jeopardize not just me, but themselves. I wanna be able to just tell them the truth, but how am I supposed to? ... Fuck... I really didn't think this through... Well, hopefully, it won't come to that. If it will, then I'll be ready. ... And then, there's my power...
He looks at his hand.
Y/N: *thinking* It's happened, again. And out of anger, too. Is it possible that my power only activates through intense emotions? But, how? And how did I get this? ... After I hang out with Loona tomorrow, I'll need to think of a way to control my power so that I won't do something I'll regret. ... Maybe... Someone who has the most experience with demonic power can help me... But, who's gonna believe me? And how will I prove it? ... *sighs* So many questions, so little time... Well...
He grabs the book and closes it before putting it away.
Y/N: Here's to a good yet difficult future for me and all of Hell. Good luck, N/N. You're gonna need it. ... Literally.
He sighs and walks away to his bedroom.
