Aftermath of the Shitshow.

Before we get into the aftermath of what happened with Jessie and Saber Thorn, here's some more fan art!

This fantastic fan art was created by one of my viewers known as @ToastGhostmen and I gotta say, I really love the smoke and lightning in this.

Also, I finally got the official design of Jessie Drackus drawn! Check it out. THE MOMENT WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!!!

I know it's not much, but it's the best I could do given the description I gave him. Also, no those aren't red boots, they're his shoes. Just wanted to point it out.

The title, and plot of this chapter was given to me by SoryuSigma as well as the chapter title and plot for the chapter after this.

Now that I have Jessie's appearance finally revealed, let's continue with the story.

(Update: Chapter has been edited a little.)

...

(Play music up top. 0:00 - 3:25)

Pentagram City, Three V's Studio...

We cut back to outside the studio, where a few demons had stuck around to watch the chaos unfold before Saber Thorn and his raptors fled the scene after making a dramatic exit.

Three of the spectators are Summer, Dia, and Angel Dust.

Angel Dust had fled as soon as she could after Jessie gave her an opening earlier, and had contacted her friend. She had been waiting on a nearby rooftop for her friend to arrive, and then the chaos erupted from the studio's main floor down below. People ran, and screamed in terror as something was happening inside, but Angel didn't move from her spot for fear of being found by Valentino.

However, she didn't have to worry about him to her surprise when she saw a hulking anthropomorphic saurian monster toss the headless bodies of Vox and Valentino into the street before taking off with four raptors.

At least she was free from Val's clutches... for now.

Summer and Dia had ran out as soon as the raptors began to maul people left and right. They're lucky to have escaped without a scratch. Angel saw them hide in the alleyway by the building she was waiting for her friend on, and whistled to get their attention, then gestured for them to climb up the fire escape to hide with her.

Now here we are. The three demon girls had watched the monster and raptors flee the scene, and the main floor of the studio is now wrecked.

Now where the heck is Angel's friend?

"ANGIE!!!" A female voice called out.

Well here she is.

"SUGAR TITS!!!" Angel Dust exclaimed in glee at seeing her friend...

... Cherri Bomb.

...

Meanwhile back inside the studio, the main floor is in disarray.

Blue fire was being put out by imp firemen, furniture was ruined or broken, glasses were shattered, the walls had cracks, a couple burn marks, they also have a long scorched line cut into it like a laser cutter, the front entrance was blown out from the inside, dead patrons and security guards laid about along the floor along with the spilt blood of sinners and hellborns, and finally... Vox and Valentino's dead bodies are outside by the entrance. Meanwhile, their disembodied heads were on the floor around separate bars in the room.

You might be wondering where the third Vee is. Well, she had taken the stairs after the dust had settled, and is now staring at the mess the monster had left.

Velvette is the only one of the three Vees that had survived Saber Thorn's rampage. She didn't survive unscathed however. Both physically, and mentally.

Besides the bruising from being slammed into a wall from an electric shock, she's also feeling devastated.

She feels this way because upon the realization of what she did to her own son, and the fact that he's down here in hell, had left her heartbroken. Especially when he looked at her with such hatred before Saber Thorn took the reigns. Not to mention the bloodlust hidden behind the eyes.

He's definitely her son.

Now she's walking through the destruction the beast left in his wake with a shocked stare as her eyes glossed over with tears.

She takes a seat at one of the empty booths, and takes her phone out to browse through her images of her and Jessie. In each one, she's happy, and doing different or similar poses with facial expressions. Jessie just looked more or less the same in each one. He looked like he didn't want to be there, because he didn't. Obviously.

She stopped at the most recent one, because she was immediately reminded of what had happened afterwards. Of what she did without knowing who he was.

She then began to think back on memories she had long thought she'd forgotten.

Flashback...

We see a human Velvette playing with a baby Jessie, who's giggling with simple joy.

"Where's the baby? Peek-a-boo! There he is!" She says, playing peek-a-boo with her baby.

Baby Jessie giggled at what his mother is doing.

"Where's the baby? Peek-a-boo! There he is!" She said again, making her baby laugh once more.

"Who's a laughing baby? Who's a laughing baby? I think it's you!" Velvette cooed, tickling her baby boy to make him laugh more.

"Now isn't this an adorable sight to see?" A male voice spoke up, getting her attention.

It's her husband, and the father of baby Jessie.

Logan Drackus.

(A/n: Logan is a name suggested by SoryuSigma for Jessie's biological father, and I just stuck with it because I couldn't think of a better name.)

"Can you blame me? He's so pwecious!" Velvette cooed as she picked up her baby.

"As far as I'm concerned, you're both precious." Logan said, kissing his wife on the lips.

"Ok, but who's more precious?" Velvette teased.

"Uuuuh... is this a trick question?" Logan asked.

"You dork." Velvette said, chuckling.

"I may be a dork, but I'm your dork, and his dork." Logan said with a smile.

Flashback end...

As Velvette remembered Jessie as a baby, as well as remembering the man she once loved, her lips quivered while tears began to spill from her eyes as she began to cave in to her emotions, and the dam burst once again.

Velvette tried to hold it in, but it was too much for her to bare. She's now quietly sobbing into her hands with no one to comfort her. Everything that has happened today was too much for her.

"M-My baby... *hic*... my baby... *sob*... I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..." Velvette sobbed.

...

(2:32 is the part in the music where we cut back to Saber Thorn, Jessie, and the Atrociraptors.)

We now cut back to Saber Thorn, and the Atrociraptors.

We see the group scaling a building with ease. Saber Thorn's claws dug into the concrete building as he quickly climbed upwards, and the raptors merely ran up the wall of the building with ease, much like how Jessie ran along the walls of the studio. It's like watching a gargoyle climb a concrete skyscraper while being followed by four Spider-men running up along the wall.

Saber Thorn continued to scale the building with the raptors as the red sky got darker, indicating that it's almost night time.

At the top of the tall building, Saber Thorn, and the Attociraptors, leaped over the edge then landed on the roof of the building.

Saber Thorn huffed, and puffed from exhaustion, same with the raptors. He turned to gaze back at the direction he had just come from, and glared with a snarl. He then approached the edge of the roof as he continued to glare. His eyes soon turned back to Jessie's green eyes, so now Jessie was in control of Saber Thorn's body. Which is only going to be brief.

His eyes filled with sadness as tears began to fill, and they began leaking down his scaly face when he shut his eyes tightly, because he's remembering what happened not too long ago at the studio. His eyes then snapped back open with an angry growl. He takes a deep breathe, and unleashes a loud booming roar into the sky.

SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNK!!!

His body began to become engulfed in black and red smoke as he turned back to normal.

Once the cloud shrank, and dissipated, Jessie stood there with fresh tears coming down from his eyes as he seethed with anger, sadness, and heartache.

He then walked away from the edge, and walked over to the wall of the rooftop's entrance, then took a seat.

(End of the song.)

...

Back on the roof near the studio...

Cherri Bomb.

A spunky powerhouse who's Angel's best friend, is a tall sexy cyclops demon girl with her long pink and blonde glowing free as well as the top back of it being in a high ponytail that makes it look like a flame on a fuse, her large single eye is a hot pinkish reddish color with a light yellow pupil in the shape of an X, and her paper white skin is adorned in hot pink freckles. She also has back eye shadow, black eyeliner, black lipstick, sharp teeth, a sleeve tattoo on her right arm, torn black pants, a red boot with on her left foot, a red slip on flat shoe on her right foot, a red skirt that's a little bit torn on the edges, a black and red fingerless arm sleeve that goes halfway up her upper arm, a red top with a black X on her left breast with a strap on the side of her shoulder, and a black bra strap showing on her left shoulder underneath.

(A/n: I'm a real SIMP for this girl, I'm not gonna lie.)

The two hugged after they greeted each other.

"Angie, I'm so glad you're ok. What the hell is going on?" Cherri asked.

"It was crazy, Cherri! First, the Vees got themselves a human that somehow got here without dying, then Velvette got custody of the human, Summer, Dia, and I got put in charge of watching him for awhile. Then afterwards, Jessie, the human's name, escaped Velvette's clutches, and notified everyone in the building. He then went after Valentino as he was about to... you know." Angel explained, hesitating to explain what Val was about to do to her.

Cherri Bomb nodded, knowing exactly what she was talking about because this wasn't the first time Valentino did this.

"I don't know what happened because I ran out of the room. I think he survived because long story short, a monster burst out of the studio, and managed to decapitate Vox and Val before he took off to who knows where with a pack of raptors!" Angel Dust explained.

Cherri was shocked beyond belief. Someone had actually managed to take down two of the three Vees!

"Holy SHIT! Wait, what happened to Velvette?" Cherri asked.

"I don't know. It couldn't hurt to check. Plus there could be some stuff I could snag that isn't tied down." Angel Dust said.

"Wait, you wanna go back in there?" Summer asked.

"Only for a quick look around. Besides, crazy ass, and his prehistoric quartet are gone." Angel Dust said.

The four demon girls climbed down the fire escape, or more accurately, Cherri Bomb did parkour on the way down while the other three climbed down.

The four entered the studio to see the carnage, and wreckage left behind by Saber Thorn and the raptors.

"Daaaaaaaaamn! That guy did all of this?" Cherri Bomb questioned, honestly both impressed, and shocked that a lone human with raptors had the balls to do this.

"Apparently. Shit, that thing turned the place into a slaughter house!" Angel said, just as impressed, and shocked as her friend.

The group then heard someone sniffling, and saw Velvette in an empty booth by herself, crying into her hands. She either didn't notice them come in, or did, and just didn't care enough.

"Well, now we know she's still alive." Cherri Bomb said.

"And she's... crying?" Dia questioned.

"This has got to be the only time I've ever seen her break down like this. I don't think anyone besides Vox or Val has ever seen her vulnerable like this." Angel Dust said.

Summer began to walk over to the booth she's in, and approached with caution once she got close enough to the surviving overlord.

"M-Miss Velvette?" Summer asked.

Velvette didn't respond. So Summer tried again.

"Miss Velvette?" Summer asked again.

"WHAT?!" Velvette snapped furiously, her face stained with tears, and her makeup running.

Summer yelped in fear from Velvette's outburst.

"I- I- " Summer stuttered

"Well? OUT WITH IT!!!" Velvette snapped again.

"I-I just wanted to see if you were ok!" Summer said fearfully.

"I'M FUCKING FINE!!!" Velvette shouted irritably.

"Does you bawling your eyes out in a booth count as fine?" Cherri asked sarcastically, not caring that she's talking to an overlord.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP BEFORE YOU JOIN THE BODY COUNT ON THE FLOOR!!!" Velvette yelled angrily, her teeth becoming sharp.

"Hey take it easy, doll face! We get it, you're pissy because your buds got killed, and the place got wrecked." Angel Dust said.

"THAT'S NOT WHY I'M UPSET!!!" Velvette corrected them angrily.

"Then why are you?" Dia asked.

Velvette hesitated to answer. The emotions she felt still stung like a fresh cut to the skin. Yet she manages to give an answer.

"Jessie." Velvette managed to say, trying her best not to brake down again.

"The human you had? What about him?" Angel Dust.

"I just found out that he... he's..." Velvette had to take a moment to compose herself before speaking again.

"He's my son." Velvette said.

"WHAT?!" The four demon girls exclaimed in shock at what Velvette just said.

"That human is your fucking kid?!" Angel Dust exclaimed in shock and disbelief.

"You had a kid?!" Dia and Summer both exclaimed in unison in shock and disbelief like their co-worker.

"I still don't get why you're upset." Cherri said.

"Before I found out who he is, I... I..." Velvette tried to explain, but couldn't bring herself to finish what she had to say.

"'About to' what?" Cherri Bombed asked.

Velvette's eyes began to tear up again, her mouth remained shut as her lip quivered.

Angel's eyes widened with realization.

"Wait... you were about to-"

"NOT THAT, DUMBASS!!!" Velvette screamed, cutting Angel Dust off.

"Not what?" Cherri Bomb asked.

Velvette beckoned Angel to get closer, which she does, then Velvette whispers to Angel of what she did. Angel then whispered into Cherri Bomb's ear, and her large eye widened from shock.

"YOU CARVED HIS CHEST WITH A KNIFE?!?!" Cherri exclaimed loudly.

"I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS HIM!!! I DIDN'T KNOW!!! I DIDN'T KNOW!!! I DIDN'T KNOW!!!" Velvette screamed in horror, sobbing hysterically.

"He's not supposed to be down here! *Hic* He's not supposed to be down here!" Velvette continued to cry.

This felt really awkward for the group. Yet they felt a little sympathetic towards her. They had never expected an overlord, especially an overlord like Velvette, one of the three Vees, to have a breakdown, and become a crying mess in front of anyone.

"What do we do?" Cherri Bomb whispered to Angel Dust.

"I don't know." Angel whispered back.

"So what happened afterwards?" Dia asked.

"He... *sniff*... something took over him, and became a monster! He massacred anyone that didn't run out the building in time, and then he killed my friends before breaking down the entrance to the studio." Velvette explained.

"Wait, you mean to tell me that the monster who busted outta here with a raptor pack was Jessie?!" Angel Dust exclaimed.

"Yes." Velvette said.

"Holy fucking shit!" Angel said in disbelief.

"Now he's out there by himself, because of me! Who knows who or what could hurt him or worse when they find out he's a living human in hell!" Velvette ranted with worry, and regret.

"If anyone, and I mean ANYONE, so much as LEAVES A SCRATCH, OR HURTS HIM IN ANY WAY, I'LL TEAR THIS CITY APART UNTIL THERE'S NOTHING BUT FUCKING ASHES!!!" Velvette ranted angrily, yelling louder near the end.

The group of demon girls besides Velvette were honestly a little scared at what she could possibly do. She's not an overlord for no reason.

After Velvette took a breather to calm down, she continued to speak.

"I just want to talk to him... I just want to tell him that I'm sorry... I just want him to know that I love him... but I don't know how to find him. He could be anywhere by now." Velvette said sadly.

She may be a dangerous killing machine, but they understand where she's coming from. They'd do anything for someone they care about... just not one of the Vees.

"Angel, I need you to help me find him. Please." Velvette begged.

"You sure that's a good idea? He wasn't exactly Mr. Sunshine the last time Dia, Summer, and I saw him." Angel Dust.

"Well it's either someone he recognizes, or a bunch of thugs he can easily slaughter. Plus, I don't think we're the only ones that know about Jessie's existence here in hell." Velvette explained.

"How?" Cherri Bomb asked.

"Because apparently it's not his first time here in hell." Velvette said, showing the girls a picture of Jessie as a five year old, and his current teenage self with Verosika Mayday.

"Aww, he used to be a cute wittle small bean." Summer cooed at the picture of a five year old Jessie.

"I just want to pinch those wittle cheeks." Dia agreed.

Cherri didn't openly admit it, but Jessie did look cuter than a button when he was five. She also had to admit to herself that he was pretty good looking in his current teens. Though she also wouldn't admit that out loud either.

"How did someone like Verosika get her hands on a human down here? Not to mention, how the fuck did he get here twice?!" Angel asked in disbelief.

"I don't know. Chances are that there could be others who know about him. Especially since I posted pics of him and I. Even though I said that he's a demon in a human disguise, there's definitely people who know him personally. So I need to find him before someone else does, and fast!" Velvette explained.

"Oh relax. How much trouble can he get into?" Cherri asked.

"He made Val shoot up his private lounge before chucking a couch at him, and blew up Vox's office." Velvette said with a deadpanned tone.

Cherri snickered before she burst out laughing.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Remind me to give this kid a high five! Holy shit!" She laughed.

"Wait, I just realized something. How do you know he's your son?" Angel Dust asked.

"Because Jessie found out that my brother, Max, was his deadbeat uncle, and he recognized him as his nephew. Long story short, Jessie lost his shit, and tried to kill him... I just realized he might've killed him when I ran off crying." Velvette said.

"Oh. Sorry to hear that." Angel said.

"Don't be. Max was a piece of shit, so no one will miss him." Velvette said.

"Look, we'll find him, and try to calm him down enough so we can talk." Angel said.

"You will?!" Velvette exclaimed gleefully.

"Eh, why not? It's not like Valentino can stop me while headless. You up for it, sugar tits?" Angel asked his bestie.

"Sure. I got nothing better to do, and edge-lord hasn't bothered me in awhile, so fuck it." Cherri said.

They suddenly flinched when Velvette tightly hugged them.

"You have no idea how much this means to me... and if you tell anyone about this, I will make you pay." Velvette said sweetly at first before becoming threatening.

"These lips be zipped." Angel Dust said quickly.

"Ok so we know what the mad lad looks like, but you said he can become a monster. So what does his primal side look like?" Cherri asked.

"One second." Velvette said, going through the security camera footage on her phone.

As one of the three Vees, she has access to camera footage on her phone thanks to Vox.

Velvette then showed them the video of Saber Thorn, and the raptors wrecking havoc, and slaughtering demons left and right.

SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONK!!!

Their eyes widened with shock, besides Summer and Dia. The couple had already saw what happened before they escaped with theirs lives. Angel Dust already saw what the beast looked like when it exited the building, but was still surprised to see that a human like Jessie became a literal monster like that. Cherri was shocked, period. She had never seen anything like this in her whole afterlife. Especially since this thing had taken on two of the three Vees, and WON!!! Also, that monster looked familiar.

"Holy shit! Was this guy the monster you were talking about, Angie?!" Cherri Bomb asked in disbelief.

"Yep. That's definitely him." Angel confirmed.

"I think I saw something like that on my way here!" Cherri said.

"You did?!" Velvette questioned out of shock.

"I didn't get a good look at it, but it might be possible." Cherri said.

"Ok, first order of business, you've gotta take us to where you saw him last. Secondly, Dia, Summer, you two are in charge of this place until I get back, or until either Vox or Valentino respawn or whatever." Velvette said.

"Yes, ma'am." Dia and Summer agreed in unison.

"Good. Now let's track down a runaway." Velvette said.

...

Meanwhile, back on one of the floors of the studio's hallways, lies a corpse of a sinner named Max. Velvette was spot on about him being killed. Now he's on the floor because of Saber Thorn, and his choice of punishment for Jessie's abusive uncle wasn't just death, but death by...

... blood eagle.

...

I think that's a good place to stop for now until the next chapter.

I'd like to thank SoryuSigma for helping me with this chapter. Originally there was gonna be a bit where Jessie gets to know his new raptor pack, but I think I'll save that for a short bit in the next chapter because otherwise I would've just prolonged the release of this chapter.

Anyways, hope you all enjoyed, and stay tuned for the next one when I get around to it.
