GM patiently waited in his office, sorting through another stack of paperwork. While his other self was in Hell, continuing to bond more and more with his granddaughter, his son, and all of their friends.

And while he could exist in two places at once as he was doing now, he knew that he would have to return to Heaven completely soon...there was just one more thing to settle.

"Come in." GM said when he heard the bell ring, setting his papers down as he cracked his neck.

Michael, now less stressed, poked his head into the room, a tired smile on his face. "Hi, Dad..."

"Ah! My son!" GM grinned. "You're not who I was expecting, but how are things? And hey! Those bags under your eyes are finally gone!!!"

"Things are good...Annabelle had to drag my dumb butt to bed, but I feel better now that I slept...although Molls was a little worried when I slept for a week straight, heh." He chuckled sheepishly.

GM stood from his desk and went over. "After all this paperwork, I cannot blame you. But, what brings you here? I do have a scheduled appointment with a certain...someone."

"Ah. I just got a report. Er...Adam's soul has been spotted regenerating a new body...in Hell."

"Oh, I'm aware." GM grinned, looking all too knowing.

Michael snorted. "Something tells me you have something planned."

"I am also in Hell as we speak, my boy...so, yes. I have something planned." GM said before the door opened again. "And here is the one I was expecting...hello, Lute."

Lute swallowed, especially when Michael gave her a dirty look. "...hello, Heavenly Father..."

GM just had an eerily-calm smile before he looked at his son. "Michael, I thank you for coming...but your old man has to have a private conversation with the former Exorcist here."

Michael grinned knowingly, sending Lute a smug look as he slowly left the room.

Lute felt her normal hand shaking. She took a deep breath before slowly sitting down.

GM then sat down across from her, straightening his tophat and bowtie. "...I think you're aware of what is going to happen to you, Lute."

Lute slowly breathed through her nose. She wouldn't start crying now. She couldn't. "...yes, sir..."

GM then put his hands together. "...for your crimes against Heaven and Hell itself, you will spend the rest of eternity in Hell as a Fallen Angel. And you are not allowed to redeem yourself in the Hazbin Hotel...besides...I doubt you'd want to lose to Vaggie again anyway. The one you mutilated for sparing a Hellborn child. You know, the deal between Lucifer and Adam was that you couldn't kill any of the Hellborn...so in a way? You punished Vaggie for doing her job."

Lute didn't say anything. "...I did. Because I was jealous."

It wasn't an excuse. It was merely an explanation. She had hated Vaggie from the moment she was created, simply because for a while, Adam had favored her.

And not only that, but when they were still in training to be Exorcists for Adam, their teacher always favored Vaggie. She was just second best no matter how many demons she killed.

"I know." GM said. "You embody the sins of Envy and Wrath almost 'to a T' as the kids say...but...you should be considering yourself lucky. Adam just regenerated in Hell, and I know your feelings for him. You can suffer for your crimes together at the very least."

Lute's eyes widened and she choked. "...Adam's alive?"

GM nodded. "Despite holy energy having the capability to permanently kill a soul's form...the soul itself still has to go somewhere. And Azrael, ever the comedian, thought it would be perfect if Adam ended up there. Because...what was it you said? Hell is forever?"

"...yes..."

GM then stood. "So, that's where you'll be forever...try to land on something soft."

And then, with a snap of his fingers, a portal opened up right beneath Lute and her wings glowed a bright gold and suddenly felt like the heaviest of weights.

"I'll meet you down there." GM said as he disappeared in a golden flash.

Lute took a deep breath. She struggled to stand, looking around her home one final time.

"...thanks for everything...and I'm sorry."

She then forced herself to the portal...and let herself fall.

Meanwhile in Hell...

Everything was a blur. The First Man couldn't remember it all for a moment...but it started to come back.

Lucifer pummeling him with flaming fists, and then spared by Hell's Princess...and then a burning pain in his chest after an attempt to make himself seem above the Sinners he lost to.

Adam groaned as he held his head. "...fuuuuck...what happened-"

But then, his eyes widened when he felt his head. He grabbed onto something attached to it: a horn.

Adam immediately stood up and looked at himself, seeing his once heavenly robes were now black and red, with the robes themselves being torn up and looking like something straight out of a heavy metal band.

"...oh, shit." Adam said as he looked behind him and saw a rather large demon tail. "...OH, SHI-"

And then, he cried out in pain as something landed right on top of him. "OW!!! WHAT THE FUCK?!? GET OFF ME!!!"

A familiar voice groaned. "Fuck you, these wings are heavy!"

Adam then used what strength he had to shove off whoever landed on him. "They feel pretty fuckin' light to me, bitch!!!"

The woman snarled and sat up. "I swear to God I'm going to-"

Her eyes widened. "...Adam?"

Adam's now completely red eyes widened soon after and he rubbed them to make sure he wasn't seeing things.

And right in front of him was a white-haired woman with large horns poking out of her head, still soaked with blood as if they had just grown in. She had a crimson-colored robotic arm and completely black wings...and an all too familiar uniform.

"...Lute?" Adam asked.

Lute's eyes widened...then filled with tears. "Adam!"

The First Man was then embraced by the former Exorcist, with Adam looking confused. "Whoa! Uhh, hey! Shit, when did you get here? How'd you get horns? You're still bleeding by the way."

Lute sighed. "...I Fell."

"Wait, what!?" Adam cried. "Who in God's name-"

Then, as if on cue, GM towered over them. "Funny how you mention that."

Adam yelped like a little girl and crawled away...and he gave a very terrified grin. "B-B-Big G!!!"

"Hello, Adam." GM said with a grin. "How was your laughable death?"

"...not f-fun..."

GM chuckled. "Good. It wasn't supposed to be."

Adam then slowly sat up. "L-listen, God-"

"You will refer to me as 'sir' or not at all." GM huffed, summoning another cup of wine and taking a sip. "Am I understood?"

Adam nodded rapidly. "Y-y-yeah! Totally, Big- I-I mean sir!"

GM then stepped closer. "...I'm disappointed in you, Adam. Truly, I am...and not only are you now going to suffer for yearly genocide, which I'm still baffled you thought was a good idea, you are now going to know exactly what you've put thousands of souls through! Possibly even millions!!! And Lute is just as guilty!!!"

"I-I-I mean...they were-!"

"SILENCE!!!!" GM boomed as lightning struck right behind him.

Lute yelped...then promptly covered Adam's mouth to shut him up.

And Adam was too terrified to even scream into Lute's hand.

GM took a deep breath to calm himself and stop himself from obliterating his First Man a second time. "...from the beginning, you were prideful. I created you and Lilith to be equals! You treated her as your slave! And when I created Eve? You treated her the exact same way!!! Did it ever occur to you that no woman wants to stay with you because you're a murderous and sexist piece of shit who only stayed in Heaven because I created you!?!?"

Adam slowly shook his head.

"No. Of course it didn't. Because you're too busy thinking about rock and roll up here." GM said, tapping Adam's head. "Or sex or drinking or killing! You have no compassion except for Lute!!! And that's only because she does your bidding! It was my second greatest mistake ever allowing you to stay even one second in Heaven!!!"

"...w-w-what was the first?"

GM's eyes glowed gold. "Banishing the one who actually treated both of your wives like people. And now? Your pride has grown to the size of a mountain, and you've fallen down that mountain...into here. The very place you despise. Have fun being one of Lucifer's subjects...and if I see you two step an inch towards my granddaughter again, you will not live to see what I do to you..."

Lute nodded rapidly. "Y-y-y-yes, s-s-s-s-sir..."

"Good...I'd find a job if I were you." GM said as he snapped his fingers to make a portal back to Heaven...but nothing happened.

His eyes widened and he kept snapping, to no avail.

Adam blinked. "...uhhh...y-you good?"

"That's...strange." GM said as he kept trying to summon a portal.

And as he kept trying, the three were suddenly surrounded in darkness...and on the ground, walls, and even the sky itself...glowing red eyes snapped open and stared at them.

Adam shrieked, trying to reach for the axe that was no longer there.

GM stepped back...and he froze when he heard a familiar laugh. "...oh no..."

"S-s-sir...what's happening?" Lute whispered, standing protectively in front of Adam.

GM then took a deep breath. "...she rescheduled..."

"Rescheduled wha-"

And then, in a bright red flash, the three of them disappeared.

They then reappeared a second later in an entirely new realm that one could confuse for Hell...but it was more like one thought Hell was like.

A barren wasteland with crimson stone and no life in sight...except for black spikes having impaled rotten corpses, specifically where their heart was.

Adam looked around in a panic, standing up. "Where the fuck are we!?!?"

And then, another figure appeared in the same red flash. The oldest Overlord of Hell: Zestial.

"What be the cause of this!?" Zestial asked before he turned and saw his father...and all four of his eyes narrowed. "YOU..."

Adam stepped back. "Uhhh...do I know you?"

Lute swallowed. "Adam...look ahead..."

Adam looked ahead as he was told and saw someone else become teleported like they were...although, this one he recognized.

Because the angel had a striking resemblance to him.

Adam rubbed his eyes and squinted them. "...Abel???"

Zestial whipped around. "What?"

And sure enough, there was a young man, wearing golden robes, and looking very similar to Adam, with his hair and golden wings...but he had green eyes instead of Adam's signature gold, with a long scar across his face.

"Dad?" Abel uttered...before he gave Zestial a dirty look. "...Cain."

"Abel." Zestial huffed before turning to GM, who was staring at the only tree in the entire realm. "Heavenly Father, what is the meaning of this?"

"...she kept it..."

Adam blinked. "Uhhh...kept what?"

"I thought she would've burned it or mutated it..." GM muttered, stepping back to gaze at the tree.

Abel looked at the tree...and his breath hitched.

He knew this tree. He had grown up around it ever since he was born. His mother had been obsessed with it. He remembered her and his brother would come out here and water it all the time.

"...The Tree of Knowledge..." Zestial breathed as he walked over.

Although, now instead of a glorious and green tree that God forbid any mortal from getting close to...the bark was completely red and it lacked any leaves or plants. And the branches curved upwards in a way that almost formed a symbol.

"Wait, wait, wait...the fuckin' tree that Lucifer gave Eve that stupid apple from?!" Adam cried.

Then, laughter surrounded them...and right beside them appeared a pathway.

GM sighed. "She's always dramatic...follow me if you want to live. We're not in Hell anymore."

Zestial scoffed as he followed. "Should've told them to stay then."

"H-HANG ON, WAIT UP!!!" Adam cried as he grabbed Lute's hand and dragged her with, whether it be with intentions to keep her around or to use her as a human shield was unknown.

Abel sighed heavily, shaking his head as he followed. "...Okay, Mother...let's play."

The group walked down the path before reaching a small...church. But unlike the ones on Earth, it was definitely not a sanctuary to God.

Instead of crosses, there was the same symbol that The Tree of Knowledge was. Instead of stained glass windows, there were blinking eyes, and the garden in front of it wasn't of plants...but of completely red souls...

Zestial hummed. "Souls...without a form...?"

"Because they're corrupted." GM said as he opened the doors to the church.

Adam gulped. "Uhhh, Big G...please tell me what's going-"

And then, inside the church's sanctuary...was a woman. A gray-skinned woman with long flowing black hair, a large red coat and hat, and with pieces of her skin cut off to reveal darkness underneath.

"...Eve..." GM said.

"The Root of Evil..." Zestial sneered.

Eve turned around with a large grin, her red eyes glowing bright.

"...hello, family."
