Work Text:
Things had settled in the Pride Ring in Hell; there were peace between the realm and Heaven and Sinners checking into the Hazbin Hotel for the right reasons. Charlie even stepped down from running the hotel; leaving the duties to her girlfriend Vaggi while her role will be to be the head counsellor.
However watching 666 News on the TV make her feel frustrated; "Off course the Vees still manages to spill it and Valentino gets the credit..." Charlie muttered with a strong sigh sigh as she then turned the TV off and folded up her arms. "I don't believe it... Angel Dust feels trapped and I pushed him away by overstepping his boundaries... I was out of line with him and I can't even apologise to him and now his abuser has Vox's place!" Charlie groaned as Vaggi noticed and came up to her to comfort her.
"It's okay hon... Angel Dust will be back when he is ready and we will deal with Valentino..." Vaggi tried to assure her but Charlie shook her head.
"you and Dad had the right idea... Vox would never have gone this far if we just used the right force... Trying to be peaceful and debate didn't work... Now Valentino is filling his shoes... Should have finished the bastard off when we first met..." Charlie admitted with a reluctant sigh as Vaggi went to comfort her. Charlie hugged her back but then looked serious after they let go.
"I need to deal with this now... Need to call in his help finally..." Charlie said with a sigh as she got up and Vaggie looked at her along with the other staff.
"'His'?" Vaggie questioned as Charlie shook her head.
"He offered me a limitless army of imps for the half year Extermination but i told him that it was the Pride Ring at risk and so I had to convince the Sinners to fight for their home... I told him that I had it covered with Vox but he was sure to see that I didn't..." Charlie then spoke and Lucifer nearby had his eyes widen and then ran up to them.
"Wait... You are speaking... The big guy?" Lucifer asked as Charlie then nodded and Vaggi looked puzzled.
"big guy?" Vaggi asked as Lucifer came up to his girlfriend's ear.
"The guy practically doing my job of running Hell for the last nearly 8 years..." Lucifer whisper with a sigh.
Charlie picked out her battle dress from the battle with Adam and the Exorcists and waited in a special area underneath her family's palace. A portal opened up and out came robed flying demons who dragged out Valentino and Velvette and then dropped them in front of her and Velvette dropped Vox's head onto the ground.
"Let go off me... You tacky clothed fucks... My dress!" ranted Velvette as she looked at her clothes.
"Princess... What are you doing... Why did you drag us here... You saved the day and Vox is a non-issue... Shouldn't that be enough?" Valentino snapped as Charlie looked serious at him.
"You don't get to continue on enjoying the spoils of what happened after what you did. What you have done to Angel Dust. You will never hurt him again." Charlie told Valentino pointing a finger at his chest and he started snickering amused.
"But can you promise that you won't hurt him yourself?" Valentino taunted and Charlie looked visibly hurt but looked firm. "What can you do? You're too much of a pacifist and we control the media! You can't do shit to me?" Valentino then asked looking smug and Velvette got herself up and brought out her phone but they noticed the shadow of a large flying figure.
I am the Mastermind and here... My niece is the law...
A large figure towering over them in size then swooped down and one claw was enough to bring them back down to the ground and Charlie went and kicked Valentino's head and picked up Vox's head.
"What... What is going on... What is this beast?" Vox snapped as Charlie giggled amused.
"Hell is more than just the Pride Ring and it seems that even the Vees forget about that... Please let me introduce you to my uncle Satan!" Charlie then explained and waved up at the large dragon like figure.
"That's Vox... The one starting an uprising that you said you had handled but I saw on my TV that he had a cannon firing right at Heaven and it turned out that he was using your father to power it?" Satan asked putting his enormous head down right next to Charlie as she then used a free hand to pet his snout. Vox gave a gulp as the other Vees groaned in enormous pain.
"You are both going to agree to a deal on my terms. You release every single soul that you have under contact and you will never offer a deal ever again. You relinquish everything and all your power and you will never hurt anyone again or even attempt to go around the wordings. That's just the start of my terms. If you don't then Uncle Satan will do this until you agree..." Charlie told the other Vees putting her head down to them with a dead serious look.
Satan with his claws squeezed with them both screaming in pain; "Okay... Whatever you want..." Velvette screamed breaking first and followed by Valentino...
"...I am stepping down from not only VoxTech but all of my studios... I am giving it all away and making the TV station fall under public ownership. Ownership of King Lucifer Morningstar and his daughter Princess Charlie and she did more to save the day than I did. The city was under peril thanks to that weapon that VoxTech commissioned and us Vees were all compliant in!" a badly bruised Valentino said on a live news conference with agulp and the staff of the Hazbin Hotel were watching this. An equally badly bruised Velvette was right next to him.
"Not only that but we will be performing voluntary public service as... Street cleaners until we legitimately and fully feel remorse and guilt for everything that we did in our lives and afterlives..." Velvette reluctantly said as the both of them looked like they were dreading it.
"For my final act as CEO; I am hereby firing that homophobic trash talking Katie Killjoy and blacklisting her from all channel content." Valentino said as it cut to the news desk where a shocked Katie and Tom Trench were sitting. Katie then ranted as she was then dragged away from the desk by security.
"Fuck Charlie... You did it... Looks like the Vees will not be giving any more trouble..." Vaggi muttered in shock and awe and Charlie then gave a small smile and a nod. "Wait... How about Vox's head?" Vaggi asked as Charlie's smile grew.
"I kind of gave a present to Baxter..." Charlie replied...
In his personal lab Baxter was putting a screaming in panic Vox onto the work table...
"You know that Katie bitch reminds me of an uppity imp that I had to deal with..." spoke a voice and Satan then walked in casually and kneeled down to them. "You will actually call me when you do need my help; won't you Charlie?" Satan asked as Charlie then gave a nod. "Nice to meet my niece's girlfriend..." Satan then said to Vaggi who was taking him in.
"From what I heard of you; I didn't thnk that you would be a caring uncle and just would be working for Lucifer." Vaggi said as Satan slowly shook his head.
"I am a loyal friend and enforcer for King Lucifer." Satan replied and there was scoffing from Lucifer as he walked into the area.
"Here you go acting like that again... You know that you challenged me for leadership of Hell when it was created and I was sent down. I had to kick your ass into submission!" Lucifer yelled pointing at Satan as he bowed as if looking humble. "You always love to do that..." Lucifer muttered shaking his head as Vaggi's eyebrows were raised.
"So you can hurt him since he's Hellborn?" Vaggi asked as Satan nodded.
"You will be taking up your duties again; won't you?" Satan asked Lucifer who gave a a sigh and nodding. "Excellent... Give me a call if that Radio Demon tries anything against you... I will be more than happy to show him and all of the Pride Ring where the Sinners are actually on the totem pole..." Satan told him and Lucifer then grinned and then finger gun pointed at him.
"But how about Angel Dust? If Valentino's studio is out of his control now..." asked Husk with Cherri bomb looking concerned.
Angel Dust gulped as Satan was towering over him; "I offered to drag your sorry Sinner butt back to Charlie's hotel but she insisted that you return when you are ready. She asked to tell you that she is sorry about what she did and understands exactly why you are avoiding her. But here are the numbers to the best therapists and psychiatrists in Hell to help you recover. All expenses paid." Satan told Angel Dust passing him a card.
