(Opening Theme Ends)

==========

After the talk Shio and Vaggie had last night, the two of them had been able to get along better. Although they were still sometimes rough around the edges, they have been able to settle their differences and work together to help make Charlie's dream a reality.

Charlie took notice of the interaction between Shio and Vaggie and were happy to see them finally get along. As for the Egg Boiz, Shio was right when he said they've been a help to the Hotel. Instead of building weapons of mass destruction, they instead have helped keep the Hotel clean and tidy.

The next day, everything just went on normally but soon problems would arise due to a certain Gay Porn Star.

========== (scene change) ==========

The scene opens up with Angel Dust waking up in a dimly lit room, tied up to a chair.

He tries to budge free but fails. His captor paces around him.

Captor: "Finally awake, Angel Dust."

Angel glowers but eventually regains his confident smile.

Angel: (smiles) "Yeah, and what's it to ya?"

The Captor holds a knife against Angel's face.

Captor: (glares) "I want you to tell me where your boss stashes his vault."

In response, Angel just laughs, completely unbothered by the situation he was currently in.

Angel: (laughs) "It's hilarious you think I'd tell you anything."

The captor, who is revealed to be a Hellhound, grabs Angel off the ground and by the neck.

Captor: (glares and grins) "Fine! I guess I'll just have to fuck the information out of ya."

Undeterred, Angel looks back at his captor defiantly...

Angel: (glares) "Do your worst..."

... Before breaking into a seductive smile.

Angel: (seductive smile) "Daddy~"

In response, the captor rips his shirt open and engages in sexual intercourse with Angel, revealing this is a porn film played on the hotel's TV.

Angel (onscreen): "Oh, yeah, baby~"

The scene cuts to Sir Pentious, Shio, and Charlie watching creeped out, Vaggie being annoyed and Niffty looking rather interested.

Angel: (smiles) "You know, this performance won me a Sex-x-xi award."

Charlie: (strained smile) "It's, uh... Very... Honest?... Oh."

The Princess turns away, nauseous and tries to shield her eyes with her right hand.

Vaggie: (disgust) "Ew."

Shio: (annoyed sigh) "Out of ALL the things you could've showed us... it's this?"

Charlie peeks from her fingers back at the TV screen before turning her head away to avoid watching with her hand covering her mouth this time.

Angel (onscreen): "Oh, harder, daddy~"

Vaggie: "Okay! Enough of that."

Vaggie tries to help Charlie by covering the side of her face with her own hand, so she doesn't have to see the TV screen. She turns her head to Angel Dust with a disapproving and unamused stare.

Vaggie: "Angel, what the fuck?"

Angel: (shrugs) "What? You said was show-and-tell day. I'm showin' you my best film, and I'm tellin you that it scored me a win over that bitch, Tiffany Titfucker."

Husk then speaks up as he's seen cleaning and wiping a wine glass.

Husk: "Ya know, not a very convincing interrogation scene."

Angel just laughs while also being pissed off at his rude comment.

Angel: (laughs and pissed off "Alright, dickhead. What makes you think you have any right to insult my work to my fuckin' face?"

Husk: (deadpanned) "You really gonna sit there and act like these scripts ain't hot garbage?"

Angel: (Gasps) "Fuck you! This is classy art!"

He gestures with two hands at the TV screen where the Cpator spanked Angel in the ass, causing him to moan.

Angel (onscreen): (moan) "OH! FUUUCK!"

The Hellhound is then seen biting him in the ass, causing Sir Pentious to cover his eyes when he sees this while Niffty lies on her stomach on the table with smile, kicking her legs back and forth as she continues watching.

Husk: (annoyed) "That's bullshit. You get drunk and bitch about them all the time. Everyone likes to bitch to the bartender. I know everything about you and these motherfuckers at this point."

He gestures to Sir Pentious.

Husk: "That one. That one is an insecure buffoon whose lonely ass watches you idiots sleep!"

Hearing this, all eyes were on him as Sir Pentious looks nervous, especially at Vaggie who's pounding her fist and ready to give him a brutal beating. Husk then gestures over to Charlie.

Husk: "Princess, is a bleeding heart who wants to solve everybody else's problems 'cept her own."

Of course, Charlie tries to deny all of this.

Charlie: (nervous) "What?! No, I- What? Pfffft, no, no."

Both Shio and Vaggie just stare at her silently as Husk then gestures to the Fallen Angel in the room.

Husk: "This one."

Vaggie turns her attention away from Charlie and scowls at Husk, growling under her breath.

Husk: "Judges everyone and everything because she hates herself."

She frowns before groaning. He then gestures over to Niffty who smiles mischievously.

Husk: "And Niffty? Hehhh... You don't even want to know what her deal is."

Finally, his eyes land on Shio and gestures to him.

Husk: "Finally we got the guy in the golden suit who's literally a God and seems like the only person here with more common sense and better sanity compared to any of us here in this Hotel."

Shio: (rolls eyes and sighs) "Gee... thanks."

Husk: (shrugs) "No problem."

The Cat Demon drinks from his bottle of whiskey/wine he is holding as Angel laughs and kicks his legs.

Angel: (laughs) "You weren't kidding. Oh ho, wow!"

Angel laughs in front of Vaggie's face briefly while she is still frowning before sitting himself down on the couch's arm.

Angel: (smiles) "Kitten's got claws."

He gestures the claws with his hand while looking to the side at Husk flirtatiously, causing his eyes to widen and his eyebrows to raise at that. Angel places his hand underneath Husk's chin, turning his head to face him closely as his hand adjusts against his cheek with his other holding the bottom of Husk's hand.

Angel: (sexy tone) "Meow~"

Husk immediately breaks away from his grasp and points at Angel with his index finger, rather annoyed, causing Angel's eyes to widen and eyebrows to rise in surprise from the sudden move.

Husk: (glares) "And you! (scoffs) Don't get me started. I see right through you and all this bullshit and how fake you are."

Angel: (laughs) "Oh ho ho, me? Fake? Wow, I had no idea. Guess that's why I'm an actor, dumbass. And-"

Suddenly his phone vibrates and rings].

Angel: "Hold that thought."

He walks over somewhere else so he can answer his phone.

Angel: "Hello? Uh, yeah, I'm-I'm... No, No, I just, I... (Nervous) No, I-I'm not... But, uh... Yeah, I'll be right there."

As Angel was talking, Shio narrows his eyes as he's able to hear the conversation Angel has with Valentino. He can see the look of fear and terror on Angel's face.

Angel: (nervous smile) "Well, uh... Looks like Val needs me for an... Uh- emergency shoot."

Husk: (apathetic tone) "Uh-huh, sure."

The Gay Porn Star just glares at Husk in return.

Angel: (glares) "You know what? Fuck you. I don't give a shit what some drunk ass bartender thinks a' me."

He pulls out a pair of glasses/shades from chest fluff.

Angel: (glares) "So why don't you just crawl back to whatever cave you came from, porn critic."

Husk growls annoyed at his comment as Angel flips him off and puts on his glasses/shades. As Angel was leaving, Charlie sprints after him in order to get him to stop.

Charlie: "Angel, you can't leave yet."

She tries to stop him from leaving by blocking the door first and then taking his hands as she gently leads him back to the lobby.

Charlie: "We haven't finished our exercises for the day."

Angel: (smiles) "I'm sure you'll manage without me."

He walks back over to the door as he grabs the handle and opens it to leave. However, Charlie sprints back after him and closes the door with her back, trying to block him from leaving. Her face now has one of panic and worry.

Charlie: (panic and worry) "There isn't much time left for the hotel to prove itself."

Angel places his hands on his hips and waist growing annoyed before facepalming trying to remain calm before taking off his glasses/shades with one hand and placing another on Charlie's shoulder.

Angel Dust: (glares) "Dollface, it's my job. I know you want to fix everything but unless you can fix my boss, there's nothing you can do."

Charlie frowns at what he said. Angel then moves her out of the way to get to the door and opens it, putting back on his glasses/shades, and slams the door as he finally leaves. The Princess then leans back on the door and slides down as she places her hands on her face.

Charlie: "Uuugh, why is this so haaaard? What am I doing wrong?"

The Kamen Rider walks over to her and kneels down as he places a hand on her shoulder.

Shio: "Let him go. I know it's hard, but Angel's clearly dealing with stuff that he doesn't want us getting involved in."

Charlie: "But we're his friends. If he has problems, then he should tell us so we can help him."

Shio: "Charlie I don't think it's that simple. I have a feeling that if we confront him now about this, it's just gonna make things worse for him. For now, the best we can do is give him some space and let him do his thing."

Charlie: (groans) "But still..."

Soon Vaggie walks over as she gives her own suggestion.

Vaggie: "Or we can try something else. I mean... she's the Princess of Hell."

Shio: (raised eyebrow) "So?"

Vaggie: (nervous smile) "So, she doesn't really use the power that comes with that, which I love about her, but maybe she can... I don't know, command a little more... authority?"

Charlie: (whines) "But that's so meeeeaaan."

Vaggie: "It's not mean exactly. It's... uh aggressive kindness."

Shio: (deadpanned) "I don't think there's such a thing called 'aggressive kindness'. You're either ruthless or you're not."

Vaggie: (scoff) "Oh and you think your plan is better? Just leave Angel to his own devices and let him suffer at the hands of his supposed boss?"

Shio: (glares) "This is Hell Vaggie. I don't like it any more than you do, but it's the only option we have right now. If we storm in at Angel's work, we could only make the situation far worse for him. Who knows what he boss will do."

Charlie: "But... if Angel's in trouble... we could help him."

Shio: "Charlie no."

Charlie: (smiles) "Charlie yes!"

Immediately she stands back up.

Charlie: (smiles) "Okay... I could be so aggressively kind to Angel's boss... That I convince him to let Angel spend more time at the hotel!"

Vaggie: (smiles) "Sure, whatever gets you there, babe."

Shio: (sighs and facepalms) "This is never gonna work."

========== (scene change) ==========

The scene changes to show Angel Dust working at the Porn Studio. Valentino is seen supervising and Travis appears as a director.

Angel: (moans) "Ohhh! Daddy, I... Uhhhh?"

The Gay Porn Star reaches behind from underneath one of the pillows and grabs a paper to re-read the script before scoffing.

Angel: (scoffs) "Do you really expect me to memorize this whole script?"

Valentino: (smirks) "Just improv it! You think anyone watches for the dialogue?"

He points to Travis, who nervously smiles and shakes his head.

Valentino: (grins) "Action!"

Soon a 'gang' of four demons slam the door open and enter the room, preparing to initiate the sex scene as raunchy music plays.

Angel: (fake panic) "Oh, no. So many burglars... (sexy tone) And only one me! Whatever shall I do?"

He quickly glances back at the script before hiding it and setting it aside.

Angel: (seductive smile) "I guess I'll have to do all of you!"

He lets the blanket down, showing off his naked body and causing the other demons to grin perversely. One demon grabs and pins Angel to the bed.

Angel: (perverted smile) "Ohh. So, what are you gonna do to me?"

Just as the demon was spreading his legs to penetrate him, Angel hears the door squeak open to see Charlie enter the studio, causing his eyes to widen in a panic.

Angel: (panics) "Charlie?!?!"

The demon pinning him down looks confused.

Rocky: (confused) "Uh, my name's Rocky."

Ignoring him, Angel pushes Rocky off of him as he gets off of the bed and sits up.

Angel Dust: (glares) "No one gives a shit."

Charlie: (curious) "Oh, so this is where the magic happens."

Suddenly, a golden time portal opens up and out came Shio to glares angrily at the Princess of Hell.

Shio: (glares) "Damnit Charlie! I told you we shouldn't be here!"

Charlie: "But I just want to see what all the fuss here is about."

As Charlie looks around, she nearly bumps into a female Hellhound actor who just got done taking her bra off. Charlie blushes as she shuffles back quickly and awkwardly from how close she accidentally was to her.

Charlie: (blushes) "Oh, wow, that is-"

She gasps and her blush disappears as she sees another male actor get slathered in mud.

Charlie: (wide eyes) "That is a lot."

Shio: (glares) "Of for goodness sake. Charlie, we have to-"

He was cut off when that same female Hellhound Charlie nearly bumped into, walked up to him and press her body against his as she wraps her arms around his neck to pull him close.

Female Hellhound: (seductive smile) "Hey there Handsome~ You look like someone who could use a good time~"

Annoyed, Shio gently pushes her off and backs away.

Shio: (annoyed) "Not interested."

Female Hellhound: (glares) "Hmph. Your loss."

As for Charlie, Angel then appears before her, putting on a robe and gently takes her by the hand and diverts her attention while he still sounds panicked.

Angel: (panics) "What in the ever-loving fuck are you doing here?!"

The Princess makes a vain attempt to sound more 'authoritarian' in which Shio sees she's failing miserably.

Charlie: (authoritative tone) "I am the Princess of Hell, Angel. And I go where I please."

She then whispers in a soft tone.

Charlie: (whisper) "I'm here to get you some time off for the hotel. Now, where's your boss?"

Just as Charlie looks around and is about to walk away Angel tries to gently but firmly grab her by the hand and pulls her away, frightened.

Angel: (frightened) "Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You are going nowhere near Val."

Shio: (glares) "Believe me. We were just leaving."

He grabs Charlie and was about to open another time portal to leave, only for a voice to be heard which was none other than Valentino himself, sounding extremely pissed.

Valentino: (glares) "Angel! What is the fucking hold up?"

Angel: (scared) "I'm coming!"

Valentino: (glares) "Not off-camera, you're not!"

Acting quickly, Angel gently pushes both Charlie and Shio back towards the door and opens it as they stand there. The Kamen Rider can hear the tone of fear and panic as Angel is talking fast.

Angel Dust: (panics) "Please, please, just wait, wait until I'm done working and we will talk about this, I promise. But first you've gotta go."

Shio: (sigh) "Look, we'll be leaving. Just finish what you gotta do and come back to the Hotel if you can when you got time."

Charlie: "But-!"

Shio: (glares) "Now Charlie."

However, none of that happened when Valentino appears behind Angel, causing him to flinch and Shio to stand in front of Charlie protectively.

Valentino: (smiles) "Aaaah, Your Majesty..."

Angel Dust: (whispers) "Oh, shit."

The Moth Demon is seen walking over to them.

Valentino: (smiles) "Welcome to my humble sex dungeon."

He pushes Angel behind him as he bends down and leans towards Charlie.

Valentino: (smiles) "What can I do for such a-"

He takes Charlie's left arm and pulls up her suit sleeve as he lecherously licks and slurps Charlie's arm, leaving a trail of his saliva.

Angered by this, Shio pulls Charlie back and pushes Valentino off her, causing him to crash onto the floor. The causes him to have a furious look on his face as he glares at the Kamen Rider and vice versa. Shio growls in anger as a tiny bit of golden aura begins to surround him.

Shio: (growls) "Don't... do that."

Valentino: (glares) "Why you-!"

Although grossed out by what Valentino had done to her, Charlie attempts to diffuse the situation.

Charlie: (nervous smile) "Uh Shio? Maybe calm down a bit. I know what he's done was probably wrong, but we're not here to cause trouble."

Although Shio and Valentino still glared at each other in hatred, the two calmed down as Valentino stood back up. As for Angel, he looks away disgusted at what his boss had done.

Valentino: (strained smile) "My apologies. So, what can do with... such a lovely specimen! You don't want a role, do you? Because I can make you a star, make us both richer than, well, your papito-"

However, Charlie backs away in both shock and disgust as she hides behind Shio.

Charlie: (shocked and disgusted) "Fuck noooo! - Uh, I-I'm sorry. I have come to aggressively, kindly speak with you about Angel."

Valentino stiffened slightly when she mentioned that, eyes narrowed, and an eyebrow raised in suspicion as Angel waves his hands and gestures for her to stop from behind him.

Charlie: (nervous smile) "Later, of course. I wouldn't want to stand in the way of your work."

Valentino snaps his head to the side, peering over his shoulder and scowls at Angel as he grows more worried. But then Shio spoke up as he saw the look on Angel's face, and he told Valentino they'll leave.

Shio: "I apologize for our intrusion on your workplace. It's quite clear you are very busy. The Princess here just got worried for one of her friends, but it seems everyone is... 'fine' right now. If it's all the same to you and without any trouble, we shall take our leave."

Charlie was going to speak up, but Shio cover her mouth, preventing her to speak.

Shio: "Right now."

The moth demon looks at Shio intently, actually curious to see a real human here in Hell.

Valentino: (smiles) "Hmmm.... it is curious as to how a human is here. How are you not like one of us?"

Shio: "I came here by... 'special' means. And I'm not exactly human per say. I won't inquire about that. As you said, if I was, I'd be a sinner right now... just like you. So, if you don't mind sir... we'll be taking out leave."

Charlie let's out muffled sounds, but Shio kept a firm grasp over her mouth to keep it shut. Still, there was a tense silence between the two as Angel looked extremely nervous until Valentino spoke up again.

Valentino: (smiles) "Well I'm at least glad you can show 'some' respect here. For that, I suppose I can still allow you to stay and watch as we film. Of course, if you wish to leave right now, that that's completely fine."

Shio was about to agree and leave, until Charlie waved her hand in front of him, indicating she still wishes to stay. Reluctantly, Shio was forced to comply.

Shio: (sigh) "...... We shall stay but we won't interfere with your work."

Valentino: (grins) "Good. So, make yourselves comfortable. And your Majesty, please enjoy the show."

He motions the film crew back to the shoot as he walks back to his chair and sits beside Travis.

Valentino: (smiles) "Well, let's take this shit from the top!"

Travis: (laughs) "Action!"

Back on scene, Angel is seen being pinned onto the bed as he moans in pleasure.

Angel: (moans) "Oh, wow, mister robbers. I sure hope you don't hurt me with those... Big guns of yours."

Robber: "Don't move, you spicy little, uuh, cock sleeve or else I'll..."

The scene pans over to Charlie whispering to the cameraman about the hotel.

Charlie: (whisper) "We do trust exercises every day in the morning..."

Shio: (whisper) "Charlie stop!"

He grabs her and pulls her back, but Valentino notices.

Valentino: (glares) "CUT! What the fuck is going on with this?"

Charlie: (nervous smile) "Ooh, I'm sorry, Were we too loud? I was just telling him about the Hazbin Hotel."

Valentino: (fake smile) "Not at all, Princess!"

He glares and gnashes at Angel as he shrinks forward a bit, knowing this isn't good for him.

Valention: (fake smile) "It doesn't bother me one bit."

Charlie then walks over as she tries to say her piece.

Charlie: (smiles) "You know, this scene feels awfully violent. If you want help with the script, maybe I can pitch some scenarios that are more whole- Woah!"

She screams and trips over a cable, causing electricity to crackle.

Charlie: (nervous) "Okay. Okay. Ah, ah okay."

She tries reaching to fix it, but the cables and wires catch fire. It begins to spread as she backs away from it. Angel and the four male actors are seen watching, eyes wide.

Charlie: (panics) "That's on fire. That-that, that's on fire."

The crew and actors scream and flee while Angel remains on the bed, backing up against the pillows, and eyes still wide.

Angel: (wide eyes) "Oh shit..."

Everyone runs away screaming as the room burns down. Charlie tries to put out the fire to no avail. Valentino glares at Angel Dust menacingly, believing he's the cause of this mess.

Charlie: "Oh, god. Okay uh do you have any-"

She grabs and picks up the corner of furry carpet in attempt to put out the fire. Valentino watches everything play out, eyes wide before he grits his teeth and stands up from his chair in annoyance. As for Charlie, she's still in the middle of the fire, desperately trying to take it out while Shio facepalms at her stupidity.

Charlie: (panics) "Can I get a fire extinguisher?"

Charlie takes off her suit jacket and begins swaying it up and down trying to put out the fire but still to no avail as the screams and running continue.

Charlie: (panics) "I am so sorry. I ruined your movie. I ruined your movie."

Angel watches everything as he sits on the bed still backed against the pillows blinking with a mortified expression as his pupils shrink when he sees Valentino's dark figure standing still in the midst of the fire, glaring at him.

Charlie: (panics) "Oh, my God. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm s-s-s-s-s-sorry! Noooooo!"

Sighing in frustration, Shio walks towards the flames and waves his hand forward, unleashing a gust of wind that finally took out the fire. Then he snaps his fingers, using his godly powers to repair all the damages caused in the studio. Although Valentino was impressed by this, he was still too angry to even care. Angel sits up and gets off of the bed quickly, reaching underneath as he grabs and puts on his robe.

Angel: (panic whisper) "Oh, fuck, fuck, fuck..."

Shio saw the expression on Angel's face and knew full well that Charlie's actions have screwed everything up for him.

Charlie: (surprised) "Oh! Well, that was-"

Shio: "Charlie... shut up please."

She was confused but flinched when she saw the serious glare on her face, prompting her to close her mouth. Valentino then walks over and bends in front of her to her eye level. Even though he's trying to sound friendly, Shio clearly heard the strained fury in his voice.

Valentino: (strained smile) "Don't you worry your pretty blonde head about it. We have people for that."

He then turns to Angel.

Valentino: (strained smile) "Angel... can I see you in your dressing room for a moment?"

Scared, Angel runs off to Val, leaving a concerned Charlie. She reaches to stop him, but Shio stops her.

========== (scene change) ==========

As Angel enters the dressing room worried and scared, a fuming Valentino appears from behind the door, slamming it shut. Approaching Angel menacingly, the Gay Porn Star turns around with his hands raised up in defense trying to immediately explain.

Angel: (fearful tone) "Val, I didn't know that-"

Before Angel can continue, Valentino grunts in annoyance as he smacks the back of his hand hard across the side of Angel's face, giving his right eye a black eye. He stumbles back in pain, holding the side of his face with his hand as he tries to speak again.

Angel: (terrified) "Val, I-"

He grunts as Valentino grabs the collar part of his robe and holds him up close to his face, extremely pissed off.

Valentino: (furious glare) "You really think you can have Lucifer's little BITCH..."

He says at the same time as he throws Angel back, sending him colliding back against a chair as he anxiously shuffles around it. He is visibly scared, gasping and panting out of breath.

Valentino: (furious glare) "...fight your battles for you?!?!"

The Moth Demon finished and growled as he walked closed to Angel, who was still trying to explain and calm him down while backing away.

Angel: (fearful tone) "Val, please, I'm sorry... She's-"

Valentino: (glares) "You bring her here to protect you? Along with that bodyguard of hers who pushed me down?"

Valentino asks as he reaches his left arm out to Angel with his hand open to touch or possibly grab his chest fluff as Angel backs himself away in the corner of the room in fear, instinctively grabbing his robe to try and cover his chest.

Valentino: (glares) "To fuck with me?!?

Red cigar smoke circles around the back Angel's wrists like cuffs, binding them together. Valentino grabs Angel by the neck and forcefully drags him back before slamming and pinning him down to the couch, causing Angel to yell in pain.

Angel: "Ow! Val, STOP!!!"

Valentino: (gnashed teeth and evil smile) "You think she can get you out of work?"

Angel: (panics) "NO! No, that- that- that's not-"

Valentino uses his free hand and runs and touches Angel's chest fluff as his voice wavers.

Angel: (whimper) "-what I'm trying to do. I- No-"

The Moth growls and violently throws Angel to the ground, causing him to slide to a stop, gasping and grunting heavily.

Valentino: (menacing tone) "You know she can't do anything."

Valentino manipulates his smoke into a ball before forming it into a chain wrapped around Angel's neck, lifting his head and body up to read his golden contract that's binding him to Valentino signed with his real name, 'Anthony'.

Valentino: "I own you. Or have you forgotten that?"

Angel: (sniffles and whimpers) "No..."

Valentino vanishes the contract but still holds onto his smoke chain tightly, forcing Angel to face the mirror.

Valentino: (grins) "When I say 'come', you say?"

Angel: "Yes, Valentino."

The Moth Demon leans closer to Angel, putting a hand on his shoulder.

Valentino: (grins) "When I say, 'You are fucking twenty guys before lunch', you say?"

Angel: (whimpers) "Yes, Valentino."

Valentino: (grins) "When I say 'You better get that fucking-"

He shouts as he grabs the collar of Angel's robe and holds him up to eye level. Angel has a look of pure terror on his face.

Valentino: (glares) "-CUNT out of my STUDIO..."

The atmosphere in the room gets more menacing as the Moth Demon caresses the back of his hand against the of Angel's face.

Valentino: (grins) "...you say?"

Angel: (grins) "Uh, I..."

He digs his nails/claws into Angel's face, leaning in closer. His voice becomes much more aggressive.

Valentino: "YOU... SAY???"

Angel holds his hands up in defense.

Angel: (terrified) "Look, V-Val, she just gets involved in everything. I-I'll tell her to leave! Just don't hurt her..."

He grabs Valentino's wrists but that was a mistake for the Moth Demon grabs the collar of Angel's robe again and lifts him up off of the ground as Angel's gasps and grunts.

Valentino: (furious glare) "I have killed bitches for less than this attitude you're giving me. You're lucky you make me money!!! Now, you're going to go get rid of her-"

He throws Angel to the ground, but he catches himself from the fall and then points at him angrily.

Valentino: (furious glare) "-and then you are filming all night!!! Get me?!?!"

Angel: (whimpers) "Yes, Val..."

Valentino: (sickening smile) "Good."

Angel reaches his arm from behind him as he manages to grab the door handle and opens it a bit. But then Valentino grabs him by the robe and pulls him behind him as he violently drags Angel out of the dressing room. Angel gasps at the same time the door slams, causing the mirror inside to fall over as it smashes and shatters.

========== (scene change) ==========

Back in the studio, both Angel and Valentino came, back, but Shio glared furiously as he knew what that demon had done to Angel.

Valentino: (glares) "All right!"

Valentino throws Angel forward against the bed, but he manages to catch himself again rather weakly in front of Charlie who had her suit jacket back on. Her jaw drops and her eyes widen at what she just saw. She turned her head to stare at Valentino, an expression of disbelief and anger on her face. Shio was also the same but knew he couldn't do anything right now.

Valentino: (glares) "Get your asses back on set, and we are taking this from the top!"

By this point, Charlie was now furious as her voice become demonic and revealing her horns as glowing red eyes and her blonde hair floats.

Charlie: (furious glares) "What makes you think you can treat him like that?!?!"

Shio: "ENOUGH!!!"

The Kamen Rider let's out a burst of energy that sends everyone flying back. All eyes were on Shio, and they're shocked to see him with a golden aura surrounding him. The most distinguishing feature was his now menacing red eyes. Shio looks at Charlie with a furious glare.

Shio: (furious glare) "We are leaving Charlie. Right now. End of story. We've overstayed our welcome so we're going RIGHT... NOW."

Charlie: (shocked) "But Shio-?!"

*SLAP!!!*

To everyone's shock, especially Angel, Shio had slapped Charlie across the face so hard that she fell to the floor and now had a noticeable bruise on her right cheek. She was shocked at what Shio did but was even more shocked when he roughly grabbed her by the arm and pulled her us as he starred directly into her eyes.

Shio: (furious glare) "We are LEAVING! You've done ENOUGH and caused ENOUGH problems already! Because of YOU, Angle is now gonna have to go through whatever SHITSHOW his boss is gonna put him through and it's all YOUR fault! So, we're leaving now, or I WILL force you."

However, to his anger and annoyance, Charlie still refused to leave Angel be.

Charlie: (glares) "No! I don't know what's gotten into you or why you did that but I'm not gonna-!"

Just as things could escalate even further, Angel and shouts at her furiously, causing Valentino to simply stands there smug with his arms crossed to his chest.

Angel: (glares) "CHARLIE! Just STOP!"

Charlie: (worried) "Angel, what are you talking ab-"

Angel: (glares) "Shio's right! You've caused enough problems here already! So, LEAVE!"

Charlie: "But-"

He didn't let her finish as he grabs her and forces her out the door.

Angel: (glares) "I didn't want you ta come here. I already asked you to leave and you didn't listen. Shio's right and you should've listened to him. You made things worse."

Charlie: (sad) "I just wanted to help you."

Angel: (glares) "Well, you ain't! You actually want to help me? Get the FUCK out of here! Right now and let me finish my work."

Charlie: (whimpers) "I... I didn't..."

She flinches in fear when she saw the hateful glare on Angel's face.

Charlie: (sobs) "...mean to!"

She looks at the smug Valentino.

Charlie: (sobs) "I... I'm... I'm so sorry."

The Kamen Rider then grabs Charlie and escorts her out.

Shio: "Let's go."

Without even resisting, Charlie follows Shio's lead as the two began to make their way out. As they were leaving, Angel looks disappointed in himself while laughs and chuckles lowly in satisfaction. He approaches Angel from behind putting his hands on his shoulders and leaning over his back.

Valentino: (laughs and chuckles) "...Good boy. I'm impressed by your male friend there. A bit disappointed that he should've kept that bitch on a leash in the first place."

Just as Charlie and Shio were at the door, as soon as Valentino said those words, the Kamen Rider stopped dead in his tracks when he heard what the Moth Demon said about Charlie. Suddenly the atmosphere in the room began to grow increasingly cold, catching everyone by surprise until they all heard Shio speak in both a low and dark tone.

Shio: (low and dark tone) "...... What did you just say?"

Valentino: (confused glare) "What?

This time Shio speaks in a darker and more demonic tone.

Shio: (demonic tone) "I said... what did you say... about Charlie?"

He gently pushes Charlie to the door as he turns fully towards Valentino. His eyes now glowing red with both fury and hatred.

Shio: (demonic tone) "I heard what you said about her. Wanna repeat that?"

In response, Valentino walks over and bends down to an eye level at Shio, now sporting an evil and sadistic grin.

Valentino: (evil and sadistic grin) "You heard me. A BITCH that should be on a leash."

*WHAM!!!*

Before the Moth Demon could react, Shio grabbed a chair and smashed him across the face, sending Valentino flying into a wall. He groans as he feels blood trickle down the left side of his face. He growls as he glares menacingly at Shio.

Valentino: (menacing glare) "You FUCKING cocksucker!"

The aura surrounding Shio dissipated and returns back to normal. However, he sighs as he rubs his forehead.

Shio: (sigh) "You know... I honestly what to end things peacefully here right now... but after what you said to Charlie... and what you've done to Angel... I don't care anymore."

Calling to his power, Shio summons the Ohma Zi-O Driver, much to Valentino's confusion.

Valentino: (confused groan) "Wait is that a belt?"

Shio: (glares) "Henshin!"

He slams both sides of his belt, causing the room to erupt in lava as the transformation sequence begins.

[Shukufuku no toki! Saikō! Saizen! Saidai! Saikyō ō! Ohma Zi-O!]

Soon a golden explosion occurs that sends everyone (except Charlie) flying back, and Shio is seen transformed into Ohma Zi-O. Angel looks up and lets out a horrified whisper due to seeing how pissed Shio was.

Angel: (horrified whisper) "Oh... fuck..."

Valentino looks up and is also terrified of the immense and indomitable power Shio was emanating. It was far more powerful and dangerous compared to any know Overlord here in Hell. Hell, he dares to say it far surpasses that of even the Radio Demon himself known as Alastor and quite possibly the King of Hell itself, Lucifer.

It was at this moment Valentino knew he had just fucked up big time.

Before the moth demon could react, Shio grabs him by the neck and lifts him us as he begins to choke the life outta him while also speaking in an authoritative, demonic tone.

Shio: "Now... let's try this again... shall we?"

He knees Valentino in the crotch before kicking his right leg hard, breaking the bone in the process. The moth demon screams in pain before Shio threw him onto the floor. Despite efforts to crawl away, Shio kicks Valentino in the face and then his lower jaw, knocking at least half his teeth out in the process. From there, Shio shoves his hand into Valentino's mouth and then rips out his tongue before throwing it to the side.

Shio then roughly grabs Valentino by one of his arms and then decks him at the left side of his chest, breaking the left half of his ribs. While Valentino was screaming in pain and agony, Angel pleads with Shio to let him go since he knows that he's just gonna make things far worse.

Angel: (pleads) "Shio please-!"

Shio: (glares) "Stay outta this!"

He then summons his Zikan Girade  in Ken Mode and raises his blade, intent on slicing his head off in order to kill Valentino for good. However, just as things were about to get worse for the moth demon, he heard Charlie's voice from behind, pleading with him to stop.

Charlie: (pleads) "Shio stop!"

He turns arounds to see Charlie with tears running down her face.

Charlie: (pleads) "He's had enough. Let him go."

Shio: (glares) "I don't think so. This monster is nothing more than a rapist and an abuser. People like him DON'T deserve redemption, much less a SECOND CHANCE to be better. Heaven will NEVER accept people like him. If anything, he deserves death. Especially what he's done to Angel."

Charlie: (pleads) "You're right! You're absolutely right! But this isn't the way! He's not worth it and you know that!"

She walks up to him and places a hand on his armored each.

Charlie: (pleads) "Please... stop... I'm begging you."

There was a tense pause in the room before Shio relented and De-Henshin from his armor. He De-Summons his weapon before looking back at Valentino and hoist him up by grabbing his coat. Shio glares furiously as he looks directly into Valentino's eyes.

Shio: (glares) "If you EVER make such comments again towards Charlie again or if I ever learn you both sexually assaulted and abused Angel again, I WILL come back and burn this entire studio of your again. That's a PROMISE!"

Valentino could only gurgle and not speak due to having his tongue torn off. However, he did like a pained grunt that almost sounded like 'Fuck You'.

Shio: (glares) "And just to make sure that message gets into your head, and you don't forget, and I WILL know, if I learned you did the same thing what you did to Angel in that room again, I'm gonna tear off the other ones."

The Moth Demon soon looks at Shio in confusion. Before he could react, Shio grabs both his upper arms and brutally tears them off, leaving his other two limbs that are place on his sides. As a result, and despite the loss of his tongue, Valentino let's out an agonizing scream due to the loss of his limbs.

Valentino: (agonizing scream) "AAAHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Charlie, Angel, and the other staff members were horrified seeing what happened to him. Shio then lifts his hand and Valentino screams again in agony due to blazing hot fire surrounding the two stumps, cauterizing the wounds in the process. Once done, the Kamen Rider kneels down as he grabs the moth demon by the back of the heard.

Shio: (glares) "This is your ONE and ONLY warning. I won't stop him from working here, but you WILL treat Angel better and more humanly. Otherwise, I'm gonna come back her and burn your business down. Then I'm gonna find you and I WILL torture you to death in ways that would make Hell's worst torture chambers seem like a paradise. Do you understand?"

Valentino begins whimpering in fear and due to the pain he's currently feeling. However, Shio punches him in the face and shouts at him in a demonic tone with his eyes turning red again.

Shio: "I SAID DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!?!?!"

The Moth Demon lets out a fearful cry as he nods rapidly. Needless to say, Valentino was completely afraid of what Shio had done to him. After the power Shio unleashed and seeing personally firsthand, Valentino was terrified that his actions had essentially angered a God.

With that, Shio let him go and stood back up as he made his way over to Charlie so that can leave. However, before going, Shio turned to Valentino to say one last thing.

Shio: (glares) "One more thing. Don't bother trying to regrow your limbs or use magic to get them back. I made sure that when I cauterized those stumps, you'll be unable to get your arms back in any way. I don't care if you believe me or not. But I have no reason to lie to you. So, if anything, you're better off getting some prosthetics if you're looking to replace those arms of yours."

Finally, Shio begins to leave as he stood next to Charlie.

Shio: (whisper) "Let's go..."

Charlie nods as she follows him. Eventually the two teleport away, leaving Angel to finally do his job.

========== (scene change) ==========

The scene then cuts to Angel resuming his film with makeup applied to his face to cover his black eye. Despite the damages done to the set, the staff were able to repair the place.

(BGM: "Poison" // LYRIC VIDEO from HAZBIN HOTEL - MASQUERADE // S1: Episode 4)

Despite the injures and missing limbs Valentino had suffered, he's still able to work to get the film done. However, he's now seen missing some teeth and casts on the stumps of where his two upper arms used to be, forcing him to use his lower ones. Along with the fact he has a cast on his right leg, forcing him to use a wheelchair and he's unable to speak due to his tongue being ripped out. He growls in pain but pushes through it so he can make his money. He motions the director to start and he says 'Action!'.

Angel Dust starts to film porno after porno, intertwined with him performing a pop-music dance sequence.

Angel: (smiles) "♪ I'm not above a love to cash in. ♪"

"♪ Another lover underneath those flashin' lights, ♪"

"♪ Another one of those ruthless nights. ♪"

A bunch of actors appear to perform a gang bang. Angel winces as he gets choked by his co-stars.

Angel: "♪ Yeah-yeah, yeah. ♪"

He then pole-dances at the club in ADDICT.

Angel: "♪ I shoulda' guessed that this would happen. ♪"

"♪ I shoulda' known it when I looked in your red-hot eyes. ♪"

Angel is on his knees prepared to give a blowjob to a fellow demon, while glancing at Valentino smiling.

Angel: "♪ Spewin' all your red-hot lies. ♪"

"♪ Yeah, yeah, yeah. ♪"

"♪ What's the worst part of this hell? ♪"

"♪ I can only blame myself. ♪"

Cuts to Angel dancing with Valentino bound by smoke-chains.

Angel: "♪ 'Cause I know you're poison. ♪"

"♪ You're feedin' me poison. ♪"

"♪ Addicted to this feelin', I can't help but swallow. ♪"

"♪ Up your poison. ♪"

"♪ I made my choice, and- ♪"

"♪ -Every night I'm livin' like there's no tomorrow. ♪"

Shots alternate between Angel having sex with Valentino and him snorting drugs, lying in a bed of cash with two other demons.

Angel: "♪ Oh-oh, oh-oh! ♪"

"♪ Any way you want me, baby. ♪"

"♪ That's the way you got me, I'll be yours. ♪"

Valentino's nightmarish silhouette appears in front of Angel in bed.

Angel: "♪ My story's gonna end with me dead from your poison. ♪"

Cuts to a different porn scene as Angel gets fitted in BDSM gear.

Angel: "♪ I got so good at bein' untrue. ♪"

"♪ I got so good at tellin' you what you wanna hear. ♪"

Valentino takes Angel's cigarette and blows the smoke into his face. Angel shakes his head to get rid of the smoke, but all he sees is Valentino walking away before a black blindfold is put over his eyes.

Angel: "♪ I disassociate, disappear. ♪"

"♪ Yeah, yeah, yeah. ♪"

Having been fully fitted in BDSM gear, Angel gets manhandled by his co-stars and has his head forced into an actor's crotch for another blowjob.

Angel: "♪ So far beyond difficult to resist another gulp. ♪"

Cuts to Angel dancing a pop-MV choreography, with the BDSM scenes displayed on the LED screens.

Angel: "♪ Yeah, I know it's poison. ♪"

"♪ You're feedin' me poison. ♪"

"♪ I'm chokin' from the taste, and I can't help but swallow. ♪"

Angel: "♪ Up your poison. ♪"

"♪ I made my choice, and- ♪"

Angel is seen being choked, and his blindfold comes undone, revealing his fear and pain, while Val sticks out his tongue in arousal. The pop choreography continues with shots of the BDSM scene. Angel is shown struggling and pounding the ground as if trying to resist.

Angel: "♪ Every night I'm wasted like there's no tomorrow. ♪"

He is then shown screaming and crying out in pain.

Angel: "♪ Oh-oh, oh-oh!!! ♪:

"♪ Any way you want me, baby. ♪"

"♪ That's the way you got me, I'll be yours. ♪"

"♪ My story's gonna end with me dead from your poison. ♪"

Valentino smiles lecherously as he grabs and drags Angel away from the stage. Angel appears scared.

Angel: "♪ Poison, I'm drownin' in poison. ♪"

Angel snaps back to reality, exhausted and traumatized. He locks the door and stumbles backward and walks out to the balcony to catch a breath only to see Vox and Valentino below, smiling and shaking hands possibly striking a deal or an agreement to something as Vox side-glances up at the balcony seeing Angel Dust his smile falters a bit. Valentino turns his head to also see Angel. They both smile as Vox's figure disappears into electricity and leaves while Valentino turns his back and walks away.

Angel: "♪ I'm fillin' up my glass but it's always hollow. ♪"

"♪ Full of poison, I'm sick of the poison. ♪"

"♪ Wish I had something to live for tomorrow. ♪"

The song ends with Angel collapsed on the balcony and crying at the porn studio.

(Background Music Ends)

========== (scene change) ==========

Back at the Hotel, Vaggie had sucker punched Shio in the face after learning what he did to Charlie. As usual, Shio didn't even flinch as he expected this to happen, but still, Vaggie was screaming at him in anger for what he's done.

Vaggie: (rageful scream) "YOU ASSHOLE!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?!??! DID YOU REALLY HAVE TO SLAP CHARLIE SO HARD THAT IT WOULD LEAVE A BRUISE ON HER FACE?!?!?!"

Luckily Charlie didn't have that bruise on her cheek no more due to Shio healing it and to his surprise, she forgave him for it due to realizing her mistake as she understood just how badly she messed up for Angel.

Charlie: (glares) "Vaggie calm-"

Vaggie: (glares) "NO! I will NOT calm down! Not after what he did to you!"

She looks at Charlie before glaring back at Shio and points at him with an accusing finger.

Vaggie: (glares) "What you did was UNFORGIVABLE! You had NO right to hurt Charlie like that in ANY way! I understand her actions had unintentional consequences that no doubt made Angel's life worse, but that didn't give you the right to physically hurt Charlie the way you did."

The Kamen Rider was silent as he looked down at the floor. Guilt and shame began to swell up in his chest for what he did to Charlie.

Shio: (low voice) "I know... and your right... What I did was uncalled for... I'm sorry."

Charlie: (worried) "Look, it's alright-"

Vaggie: (glares) "No it's not Charlie and this brute knows it. You should be sorry. For fucks sake you should be ashamed of yourself."

Before Vaggie would rant even more, Charlie placed her hands on her shoulders, stopping her from making anymore unnecessary comments.

Charlie: (pleads) "Vaggie please... stop. This isn't going to help."

She glares at Charlie and then at Shio before sighing.

Vaggie: (sigh) "Alright fine."

Charlie let's go of her and focuses her attention back at Shio. When she looked at him, she saw the look of guilt and shame of what he did against her. Of course, he didn't feel sorry for what he's done to Valentino but that didn't matter.

Charlie: (worried) "Shio it's okay. I forgive you. I'm not angry at you at all. I mean... you were right, I did mess up and... I should've listened to you."

She tries to reach out to him, but the Kamen Rider backs away a bit as he looks away from her.

Shio: "I... I'm sorry... I'll be in my room."

He leaves and heads back to his room. Charlie calls out to him, trying to speak to him that it's okay. However, he ignored her and ascended up the stairs. Charlie looks down in sadness as she makes her way over to the couch and brings her knees up to her chest. A few tears going down her face after how horrible the day has been.

Suddenly, Angel Dust is seen returning to the Hotel, completely worn out and groaning in pain. Charlie sees this and awkwardly waves at him but is ignored. Angel drops himself on a stool next to Husks' bar as he cleans a glass cup.

Angel: "Eugh, I need a drink. The hardest you can make."

Husk: "Hmm, you look like shit."

Takes a deep breath, Angel regains his cocky smile.

Angel: (cocky smile) "Pfft, Not possible. Just a long shoot, nothin' new."

Husk rolls his eyes as soon as he pours the liquor. Angel snatches the glass and gulps down the alcohol but leaving a small portion spilled.

Angel: (groans) "Eugh, I said a strong one."

Husk: "Excuse me. Didn't realize this was a 'drinking to forget' kind of night."

Angel: (rolls eyes) "Oh, I forgot. You're the wise old bartender who's seen it all. Get the fuck over yourself and pour me real drink."

The Gay Porn Star uses the tip of his index finger and pours the full cup of alcohol.

Husk: (annoyed) "Look, if you've got a problem, you're not going to find the solution at the bottom of a bottle. I should know, I've been looking there a long time."

Husk cleans and wipes down the spilled alcohol. Angel takes a deep breath, smooths his hair back and slips into his porn star persona.

Angel: (smiles) "Oh sure, and where should I Iook? Hmm? (seductive tone) In your bedroom, maybe?"

Husk flinches and stiffens.

Angel: (seductive smile) "Under the covers?"

Angel shakes his shoulders suggestively as Husk cringes back.

Angel: (seductive smile) "Maybe we can go look together."

Husk unknowingly purrs as his eye twitches he holds up his hand, gesturing Angel to stop, already feeling annoyed.

Husk: (annoyed glare) "Don't. Even start."

Angel: (seductive smile) "Oh, c'mon, I bet I can make those wings flap!"

Angel grabs one of Husk's wings, spreading it out before he wraps it around himself. In response, Husk pushes Angel off of him back onto the stool as the bottle of alcohol slips from his grasp and smashes onto the floorboards, spilling.

Husk: (glares) "STOP! Fucking Christ!"

Angel scowls at him for what he did.

Husk: (glares) "You can cut the act already."

He then places both hands on the countertop.

Husk: (glares) "It's never going to work on me. (rolls eyes) So, all you're doing is makin' an ass out of yourself with this fake bullshit."

Hearing this agitated Angel to the point it filled him with unimaginable rage. Angel shouts angrily as his pupils and freckles glow a dark neon magenta, taking the appearance of additional eyes. Angel gets up in Husk's face.

Angel: (furious glare) "Call me fake one more time, muthafucka!! I DARE you!!!"

In response, Husk leans closer to him and uses index finger to poke his chest fluff while having a smug smile on his face.

Husk: (smug smile) "Fake."

Angel: (furious glare) "Fuckin asshole-"

He bumps into the bar ceiling, holding his head in pain with both his hands as he falls back off of the stool and lands on the floor.

Angel: (pained cry) "Arrgh! God!"

The cat demon leans over the bar counter to stare down at him.

Husk: "Ya done?"

Angel growls angrily as he shouts back at him.

Angel: (growls and smiles) "Ya know what?!?1 You would be fucking lucky to get a chance to fuck me!"

He throws the half-broken bottle of alcohol at Husk but misses as Husk stares unamused and unimpressed. 

Angel: (insane smile) "Ya know how much I'm worth?!?! You know how many people would kill to have Angel Dust come onto them?!?! FUCK YOU. Have fun being a lonely piece of shit!"

The spider demon storms out of the hotel, pushing past Vaggie.

Vaggie: "Woah- The hell? Angel, where are you going?"

Angel: (offscreen) "Out!"

The door is heard slamming as Vaggie turns to Husk.

Vaggie: "Husk, what did you do?"

Husk: (shrugs) "Made him a drink."

Charlie: (worried) "Oh, no. He looks really upset."

Husk, however, his waves his hand dismissively.

Husk: "It's just Angel. He'll be fine."

Charlie: "I'm not so sure. I really messed up at the studio today and he got... Ugh, it was... It wasn't good, okay? I should've listened to Shio and leave him be."

The Fallen Angel tucks Charlie's hair behind her ear and gives her a reassuring smile, then turns to Husk.

Vaggie: (sarcastic) "Gee, sounds like someone should go after him..."

Husk just stares and blinks blankly.

Vaggie: (glares) "Someone named 'Husk'."

Husk: "Oh, you gotta be fucking kidding me. Why don't you go if you're so worried?"

Vaggie: "Because I'm not the one who sent him storming out. You caused it. You drag him back."

Acting quickly, Charlie gets in between the two.

Charlie: "No! No... Don't force him back. Just make sure he's safe. I pushed too hard earlier and... I only made things worse. Look, he'll come back when he's ready. I just don't want anything to happen to him until then."

???: (sigh) "Well if you're going, then I might as well come to."

The trio flinched and are shocked to see Shio behind them with his arms crossed. They're freaked when he just appears behind them out of nowhere.

Husk: (shocked) "For the love of fuck! You almost gave me a heart attack!"

Vaggie: (glares) "Don't sneak up on us damn it!"

Charlie: "How long were you standing there for and how much did you hear?"

Shio: "I was coming back down to get something when I heard the conversation between Husk and Angel, and then you three. Thought I'd made myself known after that."

Vaggie: (glares) "Well try not to do that again."

Shio: (shrugs) "No promises."

Vaggie looks at Shio in annoyance while Charlie looks at him in worry.

Charlie: (worried) "You're going with Husk to check up on Angel?"

Shio: (nods) "Yeah. I have a feeling he's gonna run into trouble and might need back up. Same for Angel too."

Husk: (annoyed) "I don't need your help."

Shio: (rolls eyes) "Just deal with old man."

He grumbles in annoyance.

Charlie: (worried) "Are you sure?"

Shio: (nods) "I'll be fine... and Charlie? Um... I... I'm sorry for slapping your I... never should've done that."

She smiles as she places a hand on his shoulder.

Charlie: (smiles) "It's okay. I forgive you."

Shio: (raised eyebrow) "...... Anyone ever tell you you're too forgiving."

Charlie: (chuckles) "One of my best traits."

A small smile appeared on Shio's face while Vaggie shoots a pointed look at Husk, who grumbles.

Charlie: (smiles) "Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go write one hundred apology letters and a lesson planned for tomorrow about... Boundaries."

Husk rolls his eyes and slumps forward while whining like a cat.

========== (scene change) ==========

The scene cuts to Angel entering a bar while Husk follows behind with sirens blaring in the background. Shio opted to stay behind since he figured the bar wouldn't accept him and that he wasn't much of a drinker. Inside the bar, Angel is seen sitting with a gang of shark demons, snorting drugs.

Angel: (smiles) "Oh, yeah."

As Husk enters the bar someone bumps into him which makes him growl and glare in their direction briefly until he hears Angel and the gang of sharks laughing.

Angel: (laughs) "I'm so fucked up!"

Husk sits at the bar counter, placing money down, and orders a drink.

Husk: "Gimmee a whiskey..."

The bartender places a glass down and pours some before Husk grabs the bottle.

Husk: (glares) "I meant the whole bottle, jackass."

The bartender stares at him silently before letting him have the bottle and takes away the glass instead as Husk drinks down the bottle.

Angel: (laughs) "Haha, ya, ya, so I said 'You couldn't afford me in a million afterlives'. I got better options, right boys?

Shark Demon: (laughs) "You got that right!"

The gangsters laugh as Husk watches and snarls. Angel then glances to one of the demons.

Angel: (smiles) "Hey, baby, be a doll and bring me another one? Daddy's outta juice!"

The demon is seen taking his and Angel's empty glasses by the bar counter as he sits down on a stool next to Husk who glares at him in suspicion. The bartender pours the liquor in the two glasses. The shark demon reaches into his suit and takes out some love potion/drug.

He then pours it into Angel's drink making the color pink a smoke shaped like a heart puffs out.

Husk eyes widen as he watches, and the demon gets up from the stool to return to Angel.

Husk: (groans and mutters) "Son of a-"

The cat demon huffs and sets his bottle of whiskey aside. The shark demon goes back, offering the drink.

Shark Demon: "Here you go, darling. Just for you-"

Just as Angel is about to reach for the drink, Husk appears from behind the demon and grabs him by the back of his suit, lifting him off of the ground as the drinks spill.

Shark Demon: "Woah!"

Husk: (glares) "Nice try, fuckhead."

Angel watches in surprise as Husk throws the demon across the room, causing him to scream and land headfirst into a jukebox as up temp music plays and another demon dodges. Seeing this, the rest of the gangsters take out their guns.

Husk: (glares) "Let's go."

Angel: (shocked) "What the? Hey! H-h-hey, hey!"

He grabs Angel's arm and pulls him behind him while he throws a stack of cards at the demons which cuts the barrels off their guns and cuts a net loose from the ceiling, immobilizing them.

From there, Husk drags Angel out of the bar and the Spider Demon is surprised to see Shio there as well.

Angel: (surprised) "Shio?"

Shio: (nods) "Good to see you in one piece."

Seeing these two gets Angel angry.

Angel: (glares) "Husk! Shio! What the actual fuck are you both doing here? Let go of me."

Husk: (glares) "No. I'm takin' you back to the hotel."

Angel: (glares) "Get off!"

Husk: (glares) "That fucker put somethin' in your drink."

Angel: (glares) "You don't think I can tell if someone spikes my drink? I do this all the fuckin' time!"

Husk: (glares) "You just let people drug you all the time?"

Angel Dust: (glares) "You think I ask for it?!?! I don't ask for any of this shit! I didn't ask to be this way. I didn't ask for Charlie to save me. I didn't ask for you to save me. I can handle myself."

Husk: "Really? Because I just saw someone self-destructing. It seems like... I don't know... you might need a bartender to talk to."

Shio: "Husk I don't think that's who he needs to speak to right now."

Husk: (glares) "Be quiet kid. The adults are talking here."

Shio: (annoyed) "Kid? I'm 21."

Husk: (glares) "Yeah and I'm in my 70s. So be quiet."

As for Angel, the Spider Demon chuckles as he looks at Husk with an incredulous look.

Angel: (chuckles) "Oh, so now you're going to act like you give a shit about me? You think after how you treated me, I'm gonna open up to you? Please."

He walks off but what Husk says next stops him dead in his tracks.

Husk: (glares) "Maybe I'd treat you better if you were real, and not some bullshit version of yourself, always pushin' my boundaries! Lemme tell ya, nobody in that hotel cares who you are. How famous, how hot, so you might as well just... cut the act."

Angel stops walking, eyes widening before tears form in the corner of his eyes. He drops the Angel Dust persona completely.

Anthony: (cries) "It's not an act!!!"

Husk flinches back a bit and stares at Angel in shock. Shio puts a hand on Husk's shoulder, silently telling him to back off for a bit as he looks at Angel.

Shio: "Then talks to us. You know we're not gonna leave you alone so no point. I know it's not within our right. It isn't. But it does help to speak about one's own problems. We're not going to judge you, Angel. I promise. So just... tell us what's on your mind."

The Spider demon states at Shio for a few seconds before breaking down sobbing as he lets it all out.

Anthony: (sobs) "It's who I need to be."

He crosses arms to chest.

Anthony: (sobs) "And this..."

He gestures to the redlight street.

Anthony: (sobs) "This is my escape! Where I can forget about it all! How much I hate... everything. A place where I can get high, and not have to think about how much it hurts. And maybe... If I can ruin myself enough in the process... if I end up broken, I won't be his favorite toy anymore..."

Husk stands there listening and blinking as he frowns at what Anthony says. Holding his hands as his eyebrows furrowed and his ears and tail falter. As for Shio, he knew who he was talking about.

Shio: "Valentino."

Anthony: (sobs and nods) "Yeah him ...and maybe he'll let me go..."

Angel sits down on the sidewalk, curling up into a small ball with his legs close to his chest with his arms wrapped around them and his head buried into his knees. Husk glances at Shio, aksing for answers.

Husk: "Valentino? As in, one of the three Vs?"

Shio: (nods) "Yeah. He's Angel's boss. Of course, he and I had a little... chat."

Husk: (raised eyebrow) "Beating?"

Shio: (nods) "He talked shit about Charlie, so I made him pay... and he also licked her arm."

Husk: (disgust) "Seriously on the last one?"

Shio: "Yup... which is why I also tore his tongue out."

From there, both Shio and Husk turn their attention back to Angel as they look at him with sympathy and pity. They then walk over and sits down on the pavement near him. Husk then speaks and what he says surprises Angel.

Husk: (sighs) "I was an Overlord once, you know."

Angel perks up at this.

Husk: (smiles) "Yeah, and uh... It was nice to have that power."

Soon his face morphs to that of a grim expression.

Husk: (grim look) "But when you're dealing in souls..."

[FLASHBACK]

A flashback to the past shows Husk gambling.

Husk: "...while also being a gambler..."

Past Husk spreads out a deck of cards.

Husk: "...the stakes are pretty high. And losing a few hands can be more than a little dangerous."

Soon it shows Husk beginning to lose the gamble, signified by the numbers of the cards counting down from 10.

Husk: "So, when you're down on your luck, you turn to anything to..."

The Card shows Alastor's figure.

Husk: "Keep you afloat, even making deals with yourself."

Alastor now appears holding the cards, looming over Husk to pick the card.

[FLASHBACK ENDS]

The scene switches back to the forlorn present Husk.

Husk: "So I know what it's like to... Regret the choices made... And knowin' ya can't take it back."

The trio sat in silence until Angel glanced at him.

Anthony: "What about you? You got some sob story to make feel better? 

The Kamen Rider closes his eyes and sighs before speaking.

Shio: (sighs) "No... but there is someone who I think went through something similar to you... and he shared the same name as yours.

Angel: (wide eyes) "What?"

Shio: (nods) "It's true. The guy's name was Anthony Dorvain...and he also endured sexual abuse just like you are now."

Hearing this also catches Husk's attention as the two now look at Shio with wide eyes. Angel was surprised when he hears his own name.

Shio: "Back then, I was still a teenager. Age 16 to be precise. Durning my journey to stop Aku, it was the 7th world I went to. When I arrived, the whole planet was in ruins and 3/4th of the human population was dead. Tried to save that world and transformed using the Ohma Zi-O driver. However, along the way, I encountered one of his subordinates. An American teen around my age named Anthony Dorvain. Guy was a Kamen Rider, an evil one at that, and he willingly joined Aku's cause in bringing back the Dark Ones in order to bring about an age of suffering and misery throught all creation."

Husk: "You told us quite a lot about this Aku guy and you're telling me a human willingly joined that monster and his cause?"

Shio: (sigh) "It's not like I can blame him... not after what he went through."

Angel: (worried) "You said... he went through sexual abuse... right?"

Shio: (nods) "Yeah... and his parents knew... yet didn't do a damn thing about it."

Both Husk and Angel widen their eyes at what they heard while Shio placed his hands on his mouth, memories began flooding in on that fateful day before he spoke again.

Shio: (sigh) "When we fought... he told me things... things I would never forget."

[FLASHBACK]

The flashback opens up to show a 16-year-old Shio being throw into a couple of garbage cans, crashing into them in the process. He groans in pain as he gets back up. Looking around, its revealed that he's in the Oklahoma City within the American state of Oklahoma. However, the whole city was in ruins thanks to Aku invading this world and from what he had just learned recently, billions have already died across the world.

He hears footsteps approaching him and Shio gets back up to see his opponent. One of Aku's subordinates who he manipulated into joining him. An American teen around his age named Anthony Dorvain.

Instead of fighting him, Shio holds his hands up in an attempt to communicate with him as pleads with him to stop.

Shio: (pleads) "Anthony. Anthony please stop. It doesn't have to be this way. I know what happened to you. I know what your parents did and how they didn't protect you. Your angry and you have every right to feel revenge driven. But this isn't the way. It's not gonna solve your problems."

The only response he got from him was a hateful glare from Anthony.

Anthony: (hateful glare) "What would you know about ANYTHING?! You don't know what I was forced to endure! You know what it feels like to be betrayed by the very people who were supposed to protect you!"

Shio: "You're right. I don't. But I know what it feels like to feel loss. I was just a toddle when my parents died, leaving me an orphan. So, I know what it felt like to be alone in the world. Like you, I felt like I had nothing worth living anymore."

Anthony: (hateful glare) "Oh that's rich coming from you! I know who you are and what kind of life you had. Even though your parents died, you were adopted by a good man who raised you like you were his own son. He loved you with all his heart and did everything possible to give you a good life. The life you had was something that was ripped away from me as a child!"

He closes his eyes and then broke down sobbing as tears fell down to the ground.

Shio: "Tell me what happened. Please. I'll listen you what you have to say."

If took a few seconds, but despite sobbing and crying, Anthony was able to open up about what happened to him.

Anthony: (sobbing) "My parents... when he raped me... when he violated me... my parents did nothing. I told them everything and they just forced me to sign a contract to keep my mouth shut in order for them to get right. I was angry... I hated them."

Shio: "And then you took it out on your little sister... and the other kids."

Anthony: (sobs and nods) "Yeah... I did. When I started threatening and hurting the other kids... including my sister... they didn't do anything to protect her and they just payed off the parents to keep them quiet. But then that incident occurred."

Shio: (nods) "The one where you got arrested."

Anthony: (sobs and nods) "Yes... I was only 10 when I had the courage to report to the Police. But then my parents got involved and they spun the whole story. It turns out they planned for this because they didn't want to lose all their money. So, they staged a crime and blamed it all on me. They didn't want their life ruined, so they tried to get rid of me. They even got corrupt and dirty cops involved to make my arrest seem 'legal' in the eyes of the public. After a court hearing, they threw me in the slammer, and I go life in prison. Said I was going to juvie but that was a lie. I was in the cell with the adults. The worst of the worst, which also included rapists and pedophiles."

Eventually he wiped away the tears and then glared back at Shio.

Anthony: (glares) "When I was in jail... I was gang raped... multiple. For SIX years. Every single FUCKING day and the guards didn't do a damn thing about it. Hell, the guards there would abuse their power to make me their little bitch! They made me into a damn slave and forced me through agonizing torture... until I met Aku, and he gave me the means to enact my revenge."

Hearing this, Shio could help but look at him in both sympathy and pity. It was clear he was forced into a life he never wanted, and no one ever gave a damn."

Shio: (sympathy) "Anthony I'm sorry. I really am. Everyone you've been through. The people who hurt you. I don't blame you for becoming what you are now. But what you're doing right now? It's making you no different that the very people who ruined your life."

Anthony: (hateful glare) "Well what was I supposed to do huh?! I didn't ask for this! I never wanted to be like this! I just wanted to live a good life but may parents never cared. All they did was just throw me into a cell so they can keep their money!"

Shio: "I know what you lost-"

Anthony: (hateful glare) "And you judge me?! I was molested multiple time as a child by that rich bastard and my parents didn't want me to breath a word so they can have all that moment! Then they had the GAUL to throw me in jail and make ME sound like the bad guy! Everywhere I went, I just dealt with people who took advantage of and stepped on me for their own personal gain! I was treated as nothing more than a sex doll who was thrown away like garbage! Well now I'm gonna make those people pay for what they've done to me. I'm gonna make EVERYONE suffer for making my life miserable and ruining it!"

Shio: (sympathy) "I get it. I really do. But this doesn't give you the right to murder innocent people. Especially those who weren't responsible for the pain you feel. All those people, especially those children, they had nothing to do with the pain and misery you're going through right now.

Anthony: (hateful glare) "Nobody's innocent!  They just didn't have the chance to hurt me like everyone else! I gonna make EVERYONE pay! Just like I did my family! And to all those people who turned their backs against me!"

Shio: (glares) "Anthony, their deaths don't justify-!"

Anthony: (hateful glare) "They stole my life!"

Shio: (glares) "And you stole this planet's freedom! And now your just gonna destroy all of it simply for the actions of a few! Please stop this! Let me help you!"

Anthony: (enraged roar) "SHUT UP!!!"

He unleashes a wave of red energy and sends shockwaves that destroyed his surroundings. Shio put himself in a protective bubble barrier in order to protect himself. Shio then looks up, seeing Anthony reach into his coat and pulls out an Advent Deck (Dravern) as he holds it out, summoning the V Buckle transformation belt.

Anthony: (hateful glare) "Henshin!"

He slides the deck in and soon is engulfed in a dark flash of light, transforming him into Kamen Rider Dravern.

Anthony glares murderously at Shio as he points towards him.

Anthony: (murderous glare) "I'm going to kill you! Then I'm going to kill everyone else! After that, I'm gonna burn this worthless planet to the ground before fully destroying it!"

Reaching for the deck, he pulls a card out and takes a knee as he inserts the card into into the dragon head.

[Sword Vent!]

A sword materializes and he catches it before twirling it around as he got into a fighting stance.

Shio: (pleads) "Anthony please-!"

Anthony: (murderous glare) "Shut up and die already!"

He rushes at Shio and does a downward slash with his sword. However, Shio is quick to roll away and kicks him to the side. But then Anthony is able to recover and does a quick side slash. Luckily, Shio was quick to catch the blade, as he's able to hold it between his hands.

Shio: (grunts) "Guess I have no choice."

He kicks Anthony in the gut before doing a spinning back kick to the head that sends him flying back. From there, he gets into a stance as Shio manifests the Ohma Zi-O Driver and lava appears below him which soon turns into a giant clock.

Shio: (glares) "Henshin!"

He slams both sides of the driver, activating the transformation.

[Shukufuku no toki! Saikō! Saizen! Saidai! Saikyō ō! Ohma Zi-O!]

Shio is engulfed by rings before they explode, revealing him to be transformed into Ohma Zi-O. He then summons Zikan Girade in Ken Mode as he raises the blade. Anthony gets back up as he brandishes his sword, ready to fight.

Soon the two Kamen Rider let out war cries as they charged against each other in a life-or-death duel.

[FLASHBACK ENDS]

Shio: (whisper) "Eventually, we fought, and it was during that battle I unlocked the Ohma Zi-O II transformation... before I ended his life in the end."

By the time he was done explaining, both Angel and Husk had looks of both horror and disgust.

Husk: (disgusted and horrified) "Jesus... they really did that to him?"

Angel: (horrified) "His... His own parents allowed that? To... their own son?"

The Kamen Rider sighs as he nods, confirming their questions.

Shio: (nods and sighs) "Yes. All that pain... all that suffering her went through... I can't say I blame him for becoming a monster. After all, villains aren't born... they're made."

He rubs and massages his forehead as that was one of the many memories he didn't like to remember.

Shio: "I tried to help him... I really tried to... (sigh) get him to see there was another path... convince him that what he was doing was wrong... but it was too late. Whatever innocence he had before died out long ago... and I was forced to put him down... permanently."

Both Husk and Angel had no idea what else to say after learning what that kid had to endure. They've seen some messed up things here in Hell, but it still made then sick to know that the kids down parents betrayed him for their own selfishness and greed, not caring if they hurt their own child. Not to mention, they even intentionally got their own son in jail and left him to rot while they abandoned him for the 'good life' with their youngest daughter. As for Shio, the two sinners can only imagine how Shio felt when he heard the guys story.

Angel: (guilty tone) "I... I'm sorry... and I'm sorry for that kid."

Shio: (nods) "Yeah... but there's nothing I could've done... and it's in the past."

The Kamen Rider then turns to look at Angel.

Shio: "Angel, I know Charlie gave you a terrible and Lord knows what your boss put you through. But you don't need to endure through this pain any longer. You got people here for you Angel. You got people who are willing to look out for you."

Angel: "What are you trying to say?"

Shio: "I'm saying is that you're not alone anymore Angel. Look we respect your boundaries and we're willing to give you the space you need. But I want you to know that whatever problems your facing, you no longer need to face them alone anymore. You got people who care about you. Genuine people who actually care about your well-being. (sigh) So you don't need to feel miserable anymore."

Husk: "He's right you know."

Angel glances towards Husk.

Husk: "Like I said, at the Hotel, no one will judge you for who or what you are. At the Hotel, you'll always be welcomed with open arms."

Hearing Husk say that made him feel a little bit better. The trio sit in silence for a moment before Husk begins to sing.

(BGM: "Loser, Baby" (Hazbin Hotel Soundtrack)

Husk: (smiles) "♪ So things look bad, and your back's against the wall. ♪"

He walks in front of Angel, stepping on a puddle before walking behind him.

Husk: "♪ Your whole existence seems fuckin' hopeless. ♪"

A demon comes out the bar, looking ready to puke and Husk grabs an umbrella.

Husk: "♪ You're feelin' filthy as a dive bar bathroom stall. ♪"

As expected, the demon vomits, and Husk blocks the puke with his umbrella.

Husk: "♪ Can't face the world sober and dopeless. ♪"

The demon stumbles back as he falls into an alleyway.

Husk: "♪ You've lost your way, you think your life is wrecked. ♪"

"♪ Well, let me just say you're correct. ♪"

Angel: (confused) "Wait, what?"

Husk: (smiles) "♪ You're a loser, baby. ♪"

"♪ A loser, goddamn baby. ♪"

"♪ You're a fucked up little whiny bitch. ♪"

Angel: (glares) "Hey!"

Husk: ♪ You're a loser, just like me. ♪"

Angel flips him off.

Angel: (glares) "Thanks, asshole."

Husk: "♪ You're a screw's-loose-boozer. ♪"

"♪ An only one-star reviews-er. ♪"

"♪ You're a power-bottom at rock bottom. ♪"

"♪ But you got company. ♪"

Angel: "This supposed to make me feel better?"

Husk: "♪ There was a time I thought no one could relate. ♪"

"♪ To the gruesome ways in which I'm damaged. ♪"

He twirls the umbrella before using it to smash a window, letting out green smoke and someone getting out.

Husk: (smiles) "♪ But lettin' walls down, it can sometimes set you straight! ♪"

"♪ We're all livin' in the same shit-sandwich. ♪"

Angel: (glares) "♪ I sold my soul to a psychopathic freak. ♪"

Husk: (laughs) "♪ Haha! And you think that makes you unique? ♪"

He offers his hand and Angel takes it as he stands up.

Husk: (smiles) "♪ Get outta here, man! ♪"

Soon the two began to do dancing while Shio stood off to the side.

"♪ We're both losers, baby. ♪"

"♪ We're losers, it's okay to be a- ♪"

Angel: (confused) "♪ Coked up, dick-suckin' hoe? ♪"

Husk: (smirks) "♪ Baby, that's fine by me. ♪"

Angel: (smiles) "♪ I'm a loser, honey, ♪"

"♪ A schmoozer and a dummy! ♪"

"♪ But at least I know I'm not alone. ♪"

Husk: (smiles) "♪ You're a loser. ♪"

Both: (smiles) "♪ Just like me! ♪"

Husk: "♪ I got an appetite for gamblin'. ♪"

Angel: "♪ I got an appetite for samplin' every drug and sex toy I can find! ♪"

Husk: "♪ Go ahead baby, sing that song, come on! ♪"

Angel: "♪ I got no holes left to deflower. ♪"

Husk: "♪ I sold my soul to save my power. ♪"

"♪ Now I'm on that demon's leash. ♪"

Both: "♪ I'm trapped and it gets worse with every hour. ♪"

The two are shown being tangled up, showing they're bound to demon to serve against their will.

Angel: (smiles) "♪ You're a loser, baby. ♪"

Husk: (smiles) "♪ A loser, but just maybe if we. ♪"

Both: (smiles) "♪ Eat shit together, things will end up differently! ♪"

Angel begins humming while Husk sings as the two were standing behind lights that spell 'LOSER'.

Husk: "♪ It's time to lose your self-loathin'. ♪"

"♪ Excuse yourself, let hope in, baby. ♪"

"♪ Play your card, be who you are. ♪"

Both: "♪ A loser... just... like- ♪"

(Background Music Ends)

Shark Demon Boss: (glares) "There he is!"

Shio, Angel, and Husk look over to see those same Shark Demons interrupt the song as the boos glares furiously against them,

Shark Demon Boss: (glares) "They're fucking singing?! Get 'em!"

Soon they pull out their guns and open fire. The trio run and take cover behind the car.

Husk: (glares) "Oh shit! Stay down. I'll deal with this."

Shark Demon: (laughs) "Hehe, you're fucking dead-"

Husk kills each goon with relative ease using his cards but had trouble with one goon jumping on his back, until Angel also pulls out one of his firearms and obliterates the demon.

Angel: (smiles) "Eat lead, sucka!!!"

He lends a hand to Husk and helps him back up.

Angel: (smiles) "I told ya. I can handle myself baby."

Angel pulls out 5 extra guns and begins fighting the rest of the demons with Husk.

Husk and Angel continued to open fire, soon more Shark Demon appear that overwhelm them, forcing Angel and Husk to take caver. The glance over to Shio, asking for help.

Angel: "Uh Shio? A little help?"

Husk: "Could really use your powers."

Shio: "Leave them to me. I'll handle this myself."

Using telekinesis, he lifts two cars and hurls them against the Shark Demons, killing a few and leaving the rest disoriented. Shio stands up and uses the power of Kamen Rider Vulcan as the symbol appears behind him before disappearing.

[Vulcan! Attache Shotgun!]

Outstretching his hand, a brief blue flash of light appears and reveals to be a briefcase of sorts.

When they saw the item, they were confused when they see it's a briefcase.

Husk: (confused) "A briefcase?"

Angel: (confused) "How the Hell is that supposed to help us?"

Ignoring them, Shio pushes the case and morphs it into a shotgun.

[ShotgunRise!]

[Attache case opens to release the incredibly powerful shotgun.]

Shio then opens the left palm of his hand as a green glow appears before manifesting into the Gatling Hedgehog Progrisekey.

Taking the Progrisekey, he inserts it into the bottom part of the Shotgun.

[Revolver!]

[Progrise key confirmed. Ready to utilize.]

Shio cocks the shotgun handle back before taking him. The rest of the Shark Demon Goons regain their bearing and try to take aim, bit it's too late.

[Gatling Case Shot!]

Shio pulls the trigger and opens fire. Being fired like a gatling gun, green energy rounds that are shaped like porcupine quills rips right through the Shark Demon like hot butter. The Kamen Rider turns to see the last five Demon Sharks all huddled together and decides to take them out with one last attack as he morphs the gun back into a briefcase.

[ChargeRise!]

He switches back to shotgun mode and take aim.

[Full Charge!]

Shio pulls the trigger and multiple green energy porcupine quills are fired that impacts the last demon sharks all at once.

[Gatling Case Buster!]

An explosion is seen, and Shio hoists the shotgun on his shoulder for a job well done.

Meanwhile, both Husk and Angel saw the whole thing, both were utterly shocked to see the violent devastation and carnage Shio unleashed onto those demons.

Angel: (wide eyes) "Holy shit."

Husk: (wide eyes) "You can say that again. Guess we shouldn't piss off our friend here huh?"

Angel: (nods) "Oh yeah."

Thanks to the ability Shio used, all of the shark demons are reduced to blood and guts. One on survived, but is dying due to losing half his body.

Shark Demon: "This did not go as planned"

As for Angel and Husk, the pair are banged up and covered in the goons' blood. Only Shio remains clean.

Husk: "Well, that was something I didn't expect to see."

Angel: (smiles) "Like I said, you don't know me. Sex ain't the only thing I'm good at."

Husk: "Good to know, cause this guy ain't that bad."

Anthony smiles, and the two walk out of the street. While walking, Angel turns to Shio.

Angel: "Hey Shio?"

Shio: "Hm?"

Angel: "Thanks... for the pep talk... and for everything."

Shio: (shrugs) "No problem. You're a pervert... but you're a good person."

Angel: (smiles) "Thanks. And another thing... I just wanna say that I love you."

As soon as Angel said those words, Shio looked at the guy in absolute disbelief.

Shio: (disbelief)

Shio flinched as he really didn't want to hear that coming from a guy. Even Husk was shocked, but Angel laughed, indicating it was meant to be a joke.

Angel: (laughs) "I'm just joking. I know you're not into dudes."

The Kamen Rider sighs, but he shook his head and chuckles.

Shio: (chuckles) "Your unbelievable. You know that?"

Husk: (laughs) "He got you good kid."

Shio: (rolls eyes) "Yeah. Yeah. So, you guys want anything to eat? It's almost dinner time and I can make something in the kitchen."

Angel: (smiles) "You know, I'm craving Italian. I can go for some Spaghetti and Meatballs."

Husk: (nods and smiles) "Sounds good to me."

Shio: (smiles) "Sure guys... whatever you want."

========== (scene change) ==========

Later, Shio, Angel, and Husk are seen returning back to the Hotel as they're seen laughing together.

Angel: (laughs) "He had like 3 bills, and it took him 30 minutes to count them. His eyes are so shit!"

Husk: (laughs) "Hehe, and this is the guy you gotta take orders from?"

Shio: (laughs) "Surprised he can even run a business if his vision ain't good."

Angel: (laughs) "I know! What a fucking joke, right?"

Charlie is seen looking over some papers when she takes notice of the trio coming back from who knows where. In an instant, Charlie rushes to Angel in relief and hugs him tightly. Shio looks over and can see Charlie was crying.

Charlie: (crying) "I'm SO sorry Angel, I promise I won't ever, ever, ever, ever-"

Angel: "Charlie."

She looks up to see Angel smiling at her.

 Angel: (smiles) "It's fine. I get it. Thanks... for caring about me."

He gently rubs her head and Charlie weeps tears of joy. Shio then picks her up and gives her to Vaggie.

Shio: "Welp, I think this belongs to you."

The Fallen Angel takes her, and she smiles.

Vaggie: "Ok missy, let's get you to bed."

Charlie: (still blubbering) "He-he-he said he - for-forgave me! (inaudible cries) It's so beautiful, Vaggie..."

Vaggie walks away with Charlie in tow as Husk glances at Angel.

Husk: (smiles) "Hey, how about that drink?"

Angel: (smiles) "You read my mind. Hey Shio, you gonna make those Spaghetti and Meatballs?"

Shio: (smiles and nods) "Sure. Might take an hour to cook, but you'll love my recipe for it."

With that, Angel and Husk head over to the bar for a drink while Shio goes to the kitchen to make dinner.

========== (scene change) ==========

Shio is seen in his room as he gets ready for bed. He was about to go to bed until he hears knocking. Curious, he opens the door and is surprised to see Charlie there.

Shio: (surprised) "Charlie?"

Charlie: (nervous) "H-Hi Shio can I... come in?"

Nodding, he opens the door and allows Charlie in. She sits down on his bed and Shio sat down next to her. There was an awkward silence between the two until Shio spoke up.

Shio: "I'm sorry... about slapping you across the face I mean. I know you forgive me but... I just can't let it go."

Charlie: (worried) "Shio..."

Although he looked away from her, Charlie gently grabs his face and gets him to look at her. Their eyes stare at each other intensely as some from a different perspective may see this as a romantic sight between two different lovers. 

Charlie: (worried) "Shio it's okay. Stop beating yourself up and accept my forgiveness. Please, I don't want my friend to continue to be guilty over this. Can you do that? For me?"

Shio remained silent before closing his eyes as he gently grabbed her hands and leaned into them. For him, Charlie's hands felt soft and comforting. Suddenly, and for some unexplainable reason, both Shio and Charlie began to lean in towards each other. Charlie wraps her arms around his neck while Shio wraps his arms around her waist, both pulling each other close as that faces were a few inches apart. Both of their faces were blushing as their eyes starred at each other longingly.

Of course, the two soon realized what they were doing and separated from each other quickly. Both of them had embarrassed blushes as they were unbale to look at each other directly.

Charlie: (embarrassed blush) "S-S-Sorry..."

Shio: (embarrassed blush) "It's... It's fine... I... I should be the one apologizing..."

The two sat in silence, unsure what to say. Eventually the two were able to face each other again as Charlie spoke with a worried tone.

Charlie: (worried) "I'm still worried about Angel. I know he forgave me, and he seems fine now, but I can tell he's been through a lot. And it's all due to that boss of his."

Shio: "Well what did you expect. Valentino does own Angel's soul."

She then looks at Shio in shock.

Charlie: (shocked) "What? He owns Angel's soul?"

Shio: (nods) "Yeah. How it happened doesn't matter right now. What matters is how we're gonna get his soul back. Then again, it really does explain why Angel probably never took any real effort to giving this Hotel a better chance since he really was unable to."

Charlie: (confused) "What do you mean?"

Shio: "What I mean is this. Charlie it not because Angel doesn't want to be redeemed. It's more like he can't. Valentino owns Angel's soul so unless we can get it back, we can't truly help him. If we're going to help him, then were gonna need to free his soul. Only then he'll have a chance."

Charlie: "I... I see."

Thinking about it now, she can kinda understand why Angel forced her to leave the porn studio. It wasn't because he hated her. It was because he didn't have a choice and forced her to leave so he doesn't suffer more than he already had.

Shio: "You're the Princess of Hell. Don't you have the power necessary to break the contract and get Angel's soul back? You should know something."

Charlie: (hesitant) "I... I'm not sure."

Shio: (narrowed eyes) "What do you mean you're not sure? You're royalty. The daughter of Lucifer himself. You should know a spell that can help."

Charlie: "I do know magic but not the advance ones like my parents can do. They stopped teaching me... after their divorce."

Hearing this, Shio widens in surprise.

Shio: (wide eyes) "What? Your parents are divorced."

Charlie: (sad nod) "Yeah. For some reason they just... fell apart. Mom left and dad just locked himself away, leaving me alone. I... I have really seen them in years and... I don't know how they're really doing. So, I'm sorry but... I'm not sure I can be of some help in getting... Angel's soul back."

She looks down in sadness as she realizes that she's unable to help. Seeing the distress and sadness, Shio wraps his arms around her and pulls her into a hug. Charlie reciprocates the gesture and hugs him back. The two hold each other in a tight hug for a few seconds before separating.

Shio: (sigh) "Well I guess it's up to me. Next time I see Valentino, I'll make sure to 'convince' him to give back Angel's soul."

Charlie: (smirks) "I'm sure you will."

Shio: "It's getting late now. Best head off to bed."

Charlie: (nods) "Right."

The pair stands up and make their way to the door as Shio opens it to let Charlie out.

Shio: (nods) "Goodnight Charlie."

Charlie: (smiles) "Goodnight Shio."

The Princess leaves and the Kamen Rider closes the door as the two head off to bed.

========== (scene change) ==========

Meanwhile, at the V Tower, Valentino is seen getting prosthetics from Vox in order to replace his missing limbs. He did try to reattach them or use magic to regrow them back, but soon realizes that Shio was right that he was unable to get them back normally. Hence why he called for Vox to help him. Luckily for him, he was also able to reattach his tongue so now he can speak again.

Vox: (raised eyebrow) "Jeez Val. The fuck happened to you?"

Valentino: (angry groan) "I don't wanna talk about it. Just hook me up to my new limbs already."

Velvette: (smirks) "Aww what's the matter? Too scared to tell us you gave you those Boo-Boos."

Valentino: (glares) "Fuck you, Velvette. You weren't there when that monster did this to me. That Golden-Red Visor freak."

Hearing this got Vox and Velvette surprised. They look at Valentino, clearly seeing he encountered the guy they each agreed upon to avoid.

Vox: (surprised) "Wait you encountered that Ohma Zi-O guy?"

Valentino: (glares) "Yes. The fucker did this to me after I insulted that bitch of a Princess. He's a danger Vox. Very dangerous. I dare say even more so compared to Alastor. and probably even Lucifer himself. He could've killed me had she not stopped him."

This gets both Vox and Velvette genuinely worried. It was bad enough Alastor was back and now they're forced to deal with his new player who might ruin their status quo. That possibility might even before more thanks to what Valentino had done.

Velvette: "Well this might be a problem. What do we do Vox?"

Vox: (sighs) "For now we do nothing."

Velvette: (glares) "What? Are you fucking mental? We're just gonna standby and let this freak get away with it?"

Vox: (sighs) "Yes. We are. I don't like it any more than you do, but it's clear this is something out of our league. If we're gonna beat him, we need to know his weaknesses. And so far... he has none."

Velvette groans in annoyance but she knows he's right. As for Vox, he glances at Valentino.

Vox: "Get some rest Val. We'll need your strength."

As Vox and Velvette left Valentino to rest, the moth demon had an intense hatred and fear building up inside him. He still hated Shio for what he did to him. But at the same time, he also felt extremely fearful due to the power the Kamen Rider possessed. He wanted to take revenge, but at the same time he couldn't. He may be a porn addict, but he wasn't stupid. Regardless, he now knew he needed to be careful, or he might very well be erased from existence. 

==========

(A/N: Finally done. Took me a while but the chapter's finished. I understand if there are something in the chapter you probably didn't like, especially the part where Angel gets sexually abused and Shio slaps Charlie across the face, but don't take it personal since it's all a part of the story. I don't support such behavior, nor do I condone it. Anyway, the next chapter is when Shio gets to meet Lucifer and oh boy, things will be hectic between the two.)
