Chapter Text

If anyone is here and hasn't read Book 1, I highly suggest you do unless you wanna see spoilers because there is a lot that I've changed from the original story of Hazbin Hotel and Pokemon... I keep forgetting this is a collab and keep saying 'I' instead of we.

This is supposed to be a bio for the actual second book, which will follow the timeline for the original Hazbin Hotel with changes, of course, but you know, it will technically work for here, too, so I copied and pasted it here with little changes. That includes the designs made by TaiKetch'em on FanFiction.net and MacMar02 on Deviantart.

If you're wondering, this book is stated to be not canon because it follows the fanmade story made by MilkyyMelodies on YouTube. It's gonna be a while before the Official Season 2 of Hazbin Hotel airs, so we're making this version of the story in the meantime. Will there be a multiverse thing... I don't know to be honest... but I hope you enjoy this fanfiction AU of an AU... fanfiction...

Now as for the pictures, unfortunately, Tai says they need the watermarks, just so people don't steal.

We do not own this next picture, nor did Tai or any of us make it. It's owned by 7690100_ on Pixiv.

(Angel) At the start anyway.

Before we jump into it, I just wanna say that this picture of Emily was not made by Tai either. It was made by melle_moon_draws on Twitter who made it for MilkyyMelodies who is on both Twitter and YouTube. I don't think she'll see this, but on the off chance, she does... I'm a huge fan of your work, you're the best Hazbin Hotel Fan I know, please don't mind me using this.

(Fallen)

Species: Fallen Angel

Age: IDK

Now as I said before, this is not meant to be an actual canon to the story. It's kinda like a... 'What if story' thing where it'll become officially non-canon to the first book once the second book can be started.

So, to clarify again, this is gonna be the Dragon Ball GT of Ash's 'Helluva Time' while the official second book is gonna be the Dragon Ball Super to the first. Unfortunately, Tai is gonna be involved but not as involved as he is working on his own stories at the moment so... it's gonna be more or less me and some help from Lord Ashwood the 42nd who I cannot thank enough for the help... again.

And as for my other idea of Ash in Helluva Boss... yeah, don't worry, I'm gonna post the bio for that story some time later and start writing the first chapter... just gonna rework some things now that HB Season 2 is over.

Stay tuned everyone.

Chapter Text

So, uh... no offense to those on FFN, but it's giving me some problems lately. It won't let me change the cover picture or anything... at this point, I think I might just be on Archive of Our Own or Wattpad if it keeps giving me problems.

... Tai's not here yet, so it's just me. I'm gonna work on the first chapter for the Ash x Helluva Boss story after this chapter and kinda do a back-and-forth for a bit. At least that's the plan.

(The world between time and space)

Dialga and Palkia were staring at a glowing line, concern on their face as they saw a piece of it flickering. Arceus then appeared before them in a flash, his majestic presence catching their attention as he turned to face them.

"What is it you wanted me to see now?" Arceus asked.

"Sir, it's the timeline, there's something off about it." Palkia states while referring to the flickering part. "It's rather concerning."

The Alpha Pokemon got closer to examine the piece, however, before he could say anything a bright glow emitted from the line, making the three back up. They were concerned, especially as further down the line more parts of it suddenly glowing.

The glows then died down, and the flickering was done, much to their relief and wonder. However, then they started to notice strings emerging from them and straightening out before they started to slowly stretch in random directions.

"What?" Palkia says in surprise. "What is this?"

"The timeline is... branching out." Dialga says.

"Into alternative timelines." Arceus says as he watches it happen. "I was wondering when this would happen."

"Oh... wow this one took a while." Palkia says.

"What do you think we should do?" Dialga asks.

Arceus hemmed and hawed in though before examining one point. It was at the very beginning before he had sent Ash to the other world's Hell and it had hundreds of lines branching out from it already. Another point was when he was sent back from Heaven, which had less but still a lot emerging from it. Each one seemed to be slow in forming its events as if it was still deciding.

"Interesting. I say we leave them be." The Alpha Pokemon says as he floats over to the other two. "As of right now, I suggest we stay focused on the primary canon. Though I do say we check in on at least a few of them every once in a while to see how things are progressing and maybe get an idea of where the primary canon will go."

The two looked at each other, then nodded in agreement. As things continued, Arceus would take one more glance at all the paths that were being created before putting his attention on the actual timeline. However, our sights are not on the primary timeline, but one in particular. One where things go so much differently.

(Timeline 2, Pallet Town)

The sun was shining, the sky was blue, the Pidgeys were chirping, and the Dodrio was cawing to alert everyone that it was morning. And here the sun shines into one home specifically. Going into one window in one room was a married couple of three.

A one-eyed angel named Vaggie, whose wings were out and covering her other two lovers, her wife: the Princess of Hell: Charlie Morningstar, whose hair was the messiest of them all, and their human husband: Ash Ketchum, who was in the middle of both of them.

The three of them were all lovingly cuddled up and snoozing away without any worry in the world. Months went by after they got married and they couldn't be happier where they lay now and everything was perfect at that moment... until the sounds of crying woke them up, remembering the few weeks that had gone by since their children were born, right before the alarm too.

Well, had to wake up at some point.

(A minute later)

Ash was in the kitchen getting breakfast prepared. Vaggie and Charlie were in the living room, Vaggie breastfeeding her baby sons while the princess was changing her daughter, Pikachu attempting to help.

Once he was done making food and removing the pot from the stove that was boiling the milk, Ash checked the time. "Shoot, it's that late already? Hey, girls, it's almost ten!"

"Shit!" Vaggie says before covering her mouth, remembering her sons.

"Got it! Just gotta call Delia." Charlie says before picking up her daughter. "Ready to see Grammy, my little Aurora? ~" She says in a cutesy tone as the child just waves her arms, making her mother giggle.

"Got three challengers coming to the Battle Pyramid today." Ash says as his Pokemon hops onto the counter next to him. "Gonna be a fun one, ain't it, Pikachu?"

"Pi, Pika." Pikachu says to him.

(Later again)

In their room, the girls were getting dressed in their hotel uniforms, Vaggie finishing doing Charlie's ponytails before the blonde did the angel's head bow. Ash was finishing putting on his Battle Pyramid outfit, adjusting his ring a bit after putting on his gloves.

"Alright, I'm gonna drop the kids off with my mom." Ash says before going over to the girls and handing them his Arc Phone. "You sure you don't need my help with anything in the hotel?"

"Sweetheart, we'll be fine." Charlie reassures him while taking the phone.

"Trust us, Honey, we can handle things down there." Vaggie also says.

"I know. Doesn't hurt to ask." He says before giving them each a kiss. "Love you."

"Love you too." Charlie says while waving before starting the phone.

"Love you too." Vaggie says while also waving before they teleport away.

After that, Ash sighed before stretching. "Okay, let's get the kids to Mom's place before they wake up. Ready, Riolu?" He says before the other Pokemon appear at his side.

"BAU!" The jackal says.

"Alright, let's go."

(Later that day in Hell)

"Okay, everyone!" Charlie says as she stands in front of her crew with a clipboard. "Everyone understands their roles, right?"

"Yes, ma'am!" They all say.

"Okay, good."

"Yeah, ya know, it's been fucking months since we tried to focus on this shit." Angel says.

"I know, I know, progress hasn't been the best, but now we're gonna try to pick things up. Especially now that we finally have the time."

"You heard her, let's get to work, everyone! Vamanos!" Vaggie then says while waving to get started.

Niffty was on cleaning duty, there being little bugs in the premises for her to hunt. Husk went over to man the bar... more or less got drunk by it. And Alastor was... nearby.

"Remember, 'Grand Opening'. Let's try to keep the message... not sexual as possible." Charlie states while having crayons out.

"Yeah, yeah, we got it." Cherri says as she takes out the paint.

"C'mon, doll, what do ya take me for?" Angel says as he is writing.

"Just making sure." Vaggie says while walking in with tools. "Whew, back to the drawing board, huh?" She says while kneeling next to her wife.

"Yeah, it's gonna take some time to get used to this, but we can get through this." Charlie says. "I wonder how Ash and the kids are doing."

"Right, still not used to being a mom."

"... Same, honestly."

(Pallet Town, later that day)

Ash covered his face as dust flew by him. This was his third challenger and he was having a bit of a struggle while using his Buizel. He dusted his outfit off as he stared at a young girl who had a Milotic. He went to tip his hat, only to remember that he didn't have it with him, and sighed before looking at the Pokemon on his shoulder before quickly regaining his composure.

"Alright, not bad." Ash says while smiling at her. "But now we're gonna get serious."

"Bring it on! Me and Milotic have been training hard for this." The trainer says.

"I can see that. That being said, I won't go easy." Ash then pumped his fist forward. "Buizel, use Sonic Boom!"

"Milotic, use Disarming Voice!"

Buizel jumped into the air and his tail began to glow before he fired a blue ray at his opponent. The Milotic reeled back before releasing a loud echo while firing a pink beam from its mouth that collided with the other and created a booming explosion.

(Sometime later... again)

"Careful with him, Mimy!" Delia says while Mr. Mime uses Psychic to make Aaron fly while the child is giggling up a storm. "Just make sure he doesn't bump into anything."

"Mime, mime!" Mr. Mime says in reassurance.

She then felt something tugging at her leg and looked down, finding her granddaughter pulling at her before reaching for her to be picked up.

"Aw, come here you." She says while putting Aaron down and picking up the girl who immediately reaches for her face while smiling. "You are so adorable. Yes, you are. ~" She cooed.

Then she heard a quack and turned back, watching Levi and Riolu playing tug-a-war with the duck that Lucifer gave the angel boy. Levi managed to pull it away before falling back on a pillow, then for the Jackal to run up and lick his face. She simply laughed before someone knocked at her door.

"Yes?" Delia says while opening the door with the baby demon still in her arms before smiling. "Oh, Ash! Welcome back."

"Hey, mom. Got off early. Hi, sweetie. Did you have fun with Grandma?" Ash says while taking Aurora into his arms. "And..." He says before looking behind her and seeing Mr. Mime giving a piggyback ride to Aaron while Riolu was squeaking the duck with Levi. "See the boys are having fun."

"They are so energetic and so cute. Are Charlie and Vaggie gonna be here soon?"

"Yeah, they should be getting off soon. Sorry, I can't stay longer. Riolu, Aaron, Levi! Time to go!" He calls as the jackal picks Levi up with his duck before Mime comes over and gives him Aaron.

"It's fine. Just, come visit again. I miss having you around here... even though I should be used to it by now."

"Don't worry. I promise we'll have a proper visit when we get the chance." Ash says before kissing her cheek. "Love you, mom."

"Love you too, Ash!" Delia says as her son and his Pokemon start to leave. "And say hi to Rosie for me!"

"Will do!"

(Later... again)

Ash sighed as he walked inside and set his kids in their high chairs before checking the time. It was almost time for dinner. He went and got changed into his casual outfit with an apron then came back to the kitchen, and put a pot in the sink before filling it with water for dinner.

"Don't worry, kids." He says while giving the children all head pats. "Your moms will be home in just a little bit. Then we can all eat!"

He then went back to the kitchen and checked the pot before starting the stove. He was suddenly stopped, seeing Pikachu and Riolu staring up at him with their eyes wide and sparkling. One sigh later, he gave the two head scratches as they looked happy.

(Again later-)

Dude, I swear, if you keep complaining-

(I'm not complaining! There's just so many cuts)

What you don't like getting paid for this?

(I don't get paid for this! This is fucking freelance!)

Do you even know what freelance is? Just do your job.

(... Sometime later)

Ash uses a strainer and puts the food in separate bowls. "Alright, and..." He says while holding his hand out, being given a bottle and was about to open it. "Wait..." He saw it was the ketchup he was given. "Pikachu." He says while glaring at the aforementioned Pokemon.

"Pi... Pikachu." Pikachu says while nervously scratching his head.

"I told you, ketchup doesn't go with spaghetti." He says before Riolu hands him a jar of homemade tomato sauce. "Thank you, Riolu." He says before setting it next to him. "Is the porridge ready?" He then asked as the electric mouse nodded. "Okay, good."

Then he heard a familiar blaring noise and got a sly look on his face before leaving the kitchen. He stepped behind the flash where his girls then appeared before he grabbed them from behind and picked them up as they yelped.

"Welcome back!" He says cheerfully.

"Woah, Ash!" Charlie says in shock.

"Honey!" Vaggie yelled at him as he put them down.

"Sorry." He says as she lightly hits him on the shoulder before he leans down and pecks her cheek. "Still, welcome back."

"Yeah, good to see you, sweetheart." She says while kissing his cheek before childish babbles catch her attention. "Oh, hi, my sweet little Sunshine!" She says while going over to Aurora. "Oh, Mommy missed you so much!" She says before littering the child's head with kisses as she giggles.

"I especially missed you two. Haven't been giving your granny trouble, have you?" Vaggie says while going over to the boys.

"They've been behaving. Least my mom didn't complain." Ash tells them before making his way to the kitchen. "Just in time for dinner."

"Ooh, you hear that, Aurora? You excited for daddy's cooking?" Charlie says to her daughter who just waves her arms around.

(Insert cut here)

Bro, do it properly! You're ruining this.

(Alright fine)

(Child 1)

"Okay, it's... is it recording? I can't tell?" Charlie says as she holds up a video camera.

"Yeah, the lights on." Ash tells her.

"Okay..." The blonde says before clearing her throat then putting her face in front of the camera. "Babies' first time trying porridge."

"Is this necessary?" Vaggie says as she puts her hair in a ponytail.

"Yes! I wanna capture their reactions."

The women were now dressed in their casual clothes while wearing aprons and along with their husband were recording. First was Levi who had a small bowl of porridge in front of him. Vaggie took the spoon took a scoop and held it up to the boy's mouth.

"Open wide, sweetie." She says.

Levi opened his mouth and let her gently place the spoon in his mouth and close it before she pulled away. He kept the same blank expression even as he swallowed, but reached for another to which his father gladly helped feed him more.

"I think he likes it." Vaggie chuckles as she watches the boy eat.

(Child 2)

"Okay, you ready, Aurora?" Charlie says as she's with the little girl.

Same setup as earlier, except Vaggie, was the one holding the camera and they were doing it with Aurora. She opened her mouth and eagerly ate the spoonful, slurping it down. Her eyes sparkled and then she squealed before reaching and trying to pick some more up, nearly knocking her bowl over, and getting her hands and sleeves covered in it before her father stopped her.

"Oh, okay. She likes it." Ash laughs while properly feeding her before she bounces in place as her mother laughs.

(Child 3)

"Alright... A-Aaron, stop eating that." Vaggie says while pulling her son's mouth away from the table.

It went back to Charlie holding the camera with Vaggie in the frame, this time with Aaron.

"Now, open wide." She says while holding up the spoon before the small angel tries to chomp at it. "Woah, okay-" He tried to chomp again. "Aaron, open-" He chomped at the spoon again.

"Aaron, stop trying to bite your mother." Ash says with his finger up. Aaron looked at him, then at his finger, and started trying to eat his finger before he pulled away and snorted. "No-ho, Aaron." He and the girls laughed. "Alright, Aaron... ah." He made the motion with his mouth.

"Ah." The baby angel then opened his mouth.

"Good."

Vaggie took the moment carefully put the spoon in his mouth before he closed it, then pulled away. His eyes almost immediately, then he giggled and practically jumped onto the mini table, flinging the bowl up into his face, and splashing the porridge all over him before he was pulled back, but also on his mother and father the three all laughed loudly as their son continued to eat whatever porridge he could reach.

"Yeah, he likes it alright." Charlie says through her laughter.

(Later)

After the mess made from dinner, it was family bathtime. They were all in the bathroom, the tub filled high enough where the children wouldn't sink and the adults had towels covering them. The bathtub was big enough to have all of them in it.

Vaggie was busy cleaning Aaron's face, who was being a little fussy. Ash was behind her cleaning cleaning her wings. Charlie was across from them, humming as she was scrubbing Aurora's head while said child was splashing the water. Pikachu then came over and started splashing along with her, giving the adults a smile while Levi was playing with his rubber duckie along with Riolu. Keekee was on the edge of the tub, not wanting to get wet.

"Dirt begone!" Charlie says after rinsing off her daughter. "Does that feel good to clean again, sweetheart?" She asks before Aurora makes her lips flutter which makes the woman giggle before nuzzling.

Vaggie smiled at the sight, wishing she could take a picture before she felt a tug at her towel. "A-Aaron-" She starts to say before the boy pulls one side off and then latches onto her breast.

"Heh, someone's still hungry." Ash chuckles.

"Yeah, even though we just fed you. Someone's greedy."

"Okay, now it's your turn, Levi." Charlie says before picking up the other angel.

She puts baby shampoo in his hair and starts scrubbing. It was all normal without the child reacting at first, but when she started scrubbing his back around his tiny wings, his eyes slowly widened. Then his eyes slowly closed before suddenly leaning back into the woman's hands.

The adults were surprised at first, but then they heard quiet snoozing from the child which made Charlie's smile widen as she adored his sleeping face. Ash and Vaggie simply chuckled before Aaron stopped drinking from his mother, yawning and falling limp before loudly snoring.

"Everyone's sleepy tonight." Ash says before looking at Aurora who was clinging to her mother's thigh. "Except her." He says before she suddenly lays her head against said thigh and closes her eyes. "Aw, never mind."

Charlie laughed again before rinsing off the angel boy who woke up for a moment before going back to sleep.

"Okay." She says before standing and getting out of the tub then wrapping each of the two kids in a towel on the floor before reaching in for the third. "I'll get them dried off." She says while wrapping the last child in a towel as the Pokemon gets out. "Be back in a bit."

Pikachu and Riolu pick up one each while Charlie takes the third and they leave the bathroom. That left the other two in the tub. The angel sighed before leaning back against the chest of her husband.

"What a day." Vaggie sighed.

"So... how was your day at the hotel?" Ash asks.

"Nothing special. We're ready for the Grand Opening, but as usual, there's no new guests."

"Gotcha. Guess even though the Exterminations have seemingly stopped, people are still being stingy." He says before hugging her from behind. "Still, means we have more time together."

"I know." She says before turning her head back under his chin. "So, what about you? How were your challengers?"

"Well, the first challenger I beat. Second challenger I narrowly won against. The last one though ended up beating me."

"Sounds like they got lucky. Sounds like you had more fun than us."

"Ya know, I could come and help next time."

"Think I might take you up on that offer." She says before thinking. "Ya know, after all the shit that Heaven gave us, I'm worried about what'll happen if they find out about... them... our kids."

"Don't think about that, Vaggie." He says before combing his hand through her hair. "I won't let them do anything to you, to Charlie, or our kids." He says as she looks up at him. "I will protect you."

Vaggie smiled before chuckling. "I should be the one protecting you. Especially considering how much trouble you get into."

"Well, good thing I'll be having my guardian angel with me." Ash says before kissing her on the cheek, making her giggle.

"You are so cheesy." She laughed before she undid and removed her towel, throwing it over the side before turning around, and brushing her wing feathers against the man's face as he blinked for a moment while she rested the front of her body against his, staring at him with bedroom eyes. "Me encanta eso de ti, mi amor. ~"

"Yeah, there's a lot more I love about you. ~" He says while caressing her cheek.

Her smile widens before she pulls him into a loving and passionate kiss. It went on for a moment before they stopped and pulled away, then got out of the tub.

(After the bath)

Ash got changed into a white shirt and blue shorts, Vaggie put on her nightgown and Charlie was now wearing her red pajamas. The three were in the nursery and getting done dressing the children in their PJs while giving them pacifiers.

Aurora was sleeping soundly in a Sentret onesie with the same Pokemon plushie in her arms. Aaron was wearing a Charizard onesie with a Scyther and Pikachu plushie next to him, and Levi, who was the last to be put in his crib, was dressed in a Pikachu onesie while clinging to the Psyduck plushie and of course, the rubber duck given to him by Lucifer... mostly the duck.

With all the children in their cribs, the adults took in the sight of them.

"Look at them." Charlie says as quietly as she can with still a lot of joy. "They're all so beautiful."

"They really are." Vaggie says as she looks at the three of them. "Honestly, looking at them now... I just... wanna snap the neck of anyone who touches them."

"You're not the only one." Ash says, which makes the two look surprised. "It's just instinct. I wanna keep them safe too. And like I've said, I will."

"We know you will, Sweetie." Charlie says before kissing him.

She and Vaggie then gave their kids kisses and said goodnight to them before leaving the room, leaving the man the only one there. Ash looked back at the children, then smiled. He gave them each a kiss on their little foreheads before he left as well.

He stretched as he walked to his bedroom, opening the door, and catching Charlie on top of Vaggie, kissing on the bed. They stopped in stunned silence for a moment before the man chuckled.

"Starting without me?" He joked while leaning his elbow on the doorway.

"Just getting caught up in the mood." Charlie says as he enters. "Sweetie, Vaggie wants to try being the one in the middle tonight."

"Really?"

"Yeah, what do ya say?"

"Alright, I can roll with that."

After agreeing, Ash lifted the covers and got in bed while wrapping his arms around the two. Vaggie had her wings retracted for comfort and had her arms wrapped around the two. Next to them in a smaller bed were Pikachu, Riolu, and Keekee huddled up and snoozing away.

"It's times like these I wish could last forever." Ash says while pulling them closer.

"I know." Vaggie says as she rests against him.

"Ya know, I still miss when you were shy back then." She says while resting a hand on his chest. "But I still like this version of you. ~" She says as he smiles back at her.

He gave them both goodnight kisses and they did the same with each other, ending the day perfectly. Everything was all in a good day's work in the end. One big happy family that had no worries at that moment and were... well... at the risk of sounding like a broken record, happy. However, they had yet to know what was to come of their future.

(Elsewhere)

Lucifer was walking through the halls of his castle, doing his best to be as quiet as possible, not that the hallways were loud either way. He stopped at one door that was slightly ajar and took a peek inside. In there were his youngest children sleeping on the couch while the TV was on.

Connor was in a button-down sleep shirt and boxers with his head leaning back on the couch, Cecilia was wearing a red robe while sleeping on his thigh, and Charles was wearing red pajamas while lying on the other side of him, mouth open and drooling as one of his legs was up and on the back cushion. She chuckled before going inside, turning off the TV, then looking back at them.

A minute or two later, he tucked them all in their respective beds the last one being Charles as he closed the door. He didn't mind.

After that, he went to the main room. Rather than the floor being littered with rubber ducks, the ducks were all moved to... well, he had to make a completely separate room just for the ducks, there were so many.

As he walked inside, he went up to one of the family portraits. He looked at his former wife and took a deep breath before putting his hands together.

"Hey, Lili. Hehe... uh..." He starts to say while scratching the back of his neck. "So, a lot of stuff happened. Adam is dead now... ah I probably should've started with something else. Uh... our little girl has done a lot lately. She actually fought in the Extermination and... guess what. Charlie got married recently. She's in a poliga... p-polygon... polygam... whatever it's called. She's dating this girl... and a guy at the same time?"

Lucifer cringed a bit as he tried to figure out the best way to explain his oldest daughter's relationship.

"Like, the girl's name is Maggie is an... ex-exorcist, which is kinda... ya know, it's amazing, kinda like us when we first met. An angel coming down to... yeah. And the guy: Ash, he's a human... surprisingly very young, but hey, everyone has their interests. And in other news. We're officially grandparents! Charlie has three kids!"

Lucifer laughed to himself before looking up at her smiling face. After a moment, he frowned and sighed before straightening up.

"To be totally honest, recently, I kinda started to realize some things. I can't let her know about this. With Adam dead, Heaven is likely to find out about what happened. And I'm afraid that if they find out that Charlie had children with a human and angel, much less the fact that the children are... hybrids, that they might... do something bad."

He takes another deep breath.

"Wherever you are right now, I don't know if this might be the best time to come back, but I really would... I could use you being here right now. Just here, at any point. At least to see her, see her kids... see her family... it'd really make her life. We really miss you." He says before resting his hand on the portrait, his wedding band gleaming for a moment before he sighs. "That's all I have to say. Goodnight."

He stepped back, then left the room back to his bedroom to sleep for the night. If only he knew where she was.

(Elsewhere)

"I beg your pardon?" The woman asked as she towered over the two angels, glaring down at them. "What do you mean by this 'boyfriend'?"

"Uh... w-well, you see, this guy is dating her-OW! OW!" Tenant started to say before Lute yanked him by the ear.

If you don't know who Tenant is, go read the first book.

"Shut up! Stop talking!" She threatened him.

"So, my daughter is dating someone?" The woman asks while putting a hand on her hip. "Well, must've really gotten under your skin. And considering things..." She says before examining their injuries, mainly the missing arm and wings. "He must be a powerful one."

"Well, as powerful as a human who beat up Adam-OW! OKAY! I GET IT!" Tenant shouts before his ear is let free.

"... A human, beating that fucker up?" She asks in a questionable tone.

"... Yes?"

The woman stared before lowering her sunglasses, revealing herself as the one and only Lilith. Her brow furrowed.

"Bullshit." She says.

Lute looked back and forth before letting out a sharp exhale through her nostrils. "Yeah, it should be bullshit, but it happened. The point is-"

"I couldn't care less what my daughter is dating nor for that spoiled, self-righteous asshole, but if you expect me to believe that a simple mortal somehow could kill an angel, get your story straight." The woman says while turning around.

"Whether you believe it or not, I don't fucking care."

"A-and it actually wasn't the human who killed him." Tenant says while looking away as Lute was about to hit him before Lilith grabbed her hand mid-throw. "It was some tiny cyclops girl with an angelic knife."

The woman stared for a moment before smirking then laughing as she let go of the other angel. "That is fucking embarrassing to go out on." She pushed up her sunglasses. "Now, tell me why I should care?"

"I do not give a fuck whether you care or not!" Lute practically screamed at her out of anger.

The cat angel looked nervous as his one-armed lieutenant was getting frustrated while the woman didn't appear bothered in the slightest.

(Song: Stayed Gone (Lute & Lilith Version) by Milkyymelodies)

"Adam is dead, and I'm in charge! So you better go down there and sort out that little brat of yours and that human!" Lute yells at her.

"Again, I beg your pardon?" Lilith asks.

Lute: The deal is done.

You really thought you could've just stayed gone?

Well, not for long.

Tenant just stood there as he listened to the singing suddenly start.

Now, the demons have won.

You best get up 'cause there's a brand new dawn.

Go and stop your spawn!

Lilith: Haha... is that an order?

Lute: I run this ship now, so let me be clear.

They took down Adam, that's no joke,

this situation is severe.

You have to tear your subjects down,

Get them back in line,

Weaken all their hope so they will take it as a sign.

That there's nothing they can do, they will never be divine.

It has to be now, we're out of time!

While you lounge and live your dream,

She's trying so hard to redeem,

All those sinners who already blew their shot!

Lilith just rolled her eyes.

So if you want this paradise, then go to Hell and pay the price!

Lilith: Back down there? Oh no, I'd rather not.

"Excuse me?" Lute says in disbelief.

This place is my end of the deal,

Your proposition has no appeal,

How dare you try and threaten me?

'Cause your boyfriend died and you chose to flee.

As she sang, Tenant looked back at his missing wing then appeared ashamed. Then Lilith tossed the halo at them.

I'll just keep doing as I please, and who are you to disagree?

Now move, you bitch, you're blocking my sun!

"What?" Lute yelled, insulted while Tenant looked into the sky, not seeing a sun anywhere.

You mustn't know me very well,

You're speaking to the queen of Hell!

I could bring you down, have you begging on your knees.

When singing, Tenant noticed the sudden light shift and looked around as the hairs on his head and under his uniform rose.

I couldn't care less what you lead,

My power simply far exceeds,

Your authority and that's a guarantee.

"Uh, Lute-" Tenant tried to say.

"Oh, I'm sorry your highness-" Lute says as she stomps up to the woman. "But we've never needed your help until now, so with all due respect(Not really), get up-!" She then pointed downward. "And do someth-AGH!" She suddenly gagged as she was grabbed and lifted into the air by her throat.

"SHIT!" Tenant yelled while stepping back.

"What was that?" Lilith asks, horns out as the angel choked from her now demonic hand. "Mmm, that's what I thought."

She then chucked her right at the other angel, knocking them both back into the sand. Tenant groaned while rubbing his head as Lute sat up in his lap, rubbing her throat. She then looked to the side and hurriedly grabbed the halo.

Lilith: I always win...

The sky suddenly turned red as smoke filled the area and they looked frightened as Lilith approached.

I'm gonna make you wish you died with him...

For your sins.

Tenant attempted to crawl back with one arm while holding Lute in his other.

'Cause when I'm done...

Smoke surrounded them, filling them with more fear as the woman's blood-red eyes pierced through the sudden darkness.

You'll barely recognize what you've become.

Oh, this will be fun.

Tenant was stunned, unable to remove his gaze from the woman out of fear of what she'd do to him. His arm tightened around Lute's waist, but she didn't even react to it, clutching the halo close as she looked in horror... tears streaming down her face as she realized coming here was a mistake.

To be continued...

AshFan-27: Alrighty, first chapter is done. I think it's decent.

TaiKetch'em: Somewhat.

AF: OH SHIT! What the fuck? Where have you been?

TK: Just arrived.

AF: You didn't think to knock?

TK: You left the door wide open. I figured you just didn't care.

AF: Ugh, well... you're late. I already finished the chapter.

TK: Ah shucks... alrighty well... can I just go then? Cause I got a story I'm trying to work on right now.

AF: Ugh... fine. Promise to be here next time?

TK: No promises.

AF: Fair enough. Thank you all for reading, uh... see you next time?... I don't know how else to end this.

Stay tuned, folks.

Chapter Text

AshFan: Hey, guys, we're back, and guess who's with us.

...

AF: T-Tai, you gotta announce yourself.

...

AF: Tai... TAI!

TaiKetch'em: Uh, huh... w-what?

AF: The collab.

TK: Oh, oh yeah, uh... good to... be back or something.

AF: Ahaha, uh, don't mind him. He's just a little tuckered out at the moment.

TK: Yeah, because I'm trying to write my own story and dealing with bots clogging up my reviews on FFN. Your fans couldn't be bothered to wait or enjoy your Helluva Boss story.

AF: Don't blame my followers for this. Vivziepop's taking too long to release Season 2.

TK: Wha, I'm not blaming anyone for this. You literally are doing two series side by side instead of waiting for at least one to be finished.

AF: ... Okay, fair point, but come on, you like doing these chapters, don't ya?

TK: ... Somewhat.

AF: That's the spirit. Anyway, Tai has just gotten an AO3 account so if you wanna follow his stories there, you can now.

TK: I'm also about to start releasing my stories on my Deviantart when I... get the-*SNORE*

AF: ... ah, he's fine. Let's get into the story.

(Heaven's Gates)

"And that's another soul welcomed into Heaven." Peter says while crossing a name off of a page in his book. "Another job well done-"

"Peter!"

"HOLY!" He shouts as he fumbles with the book and nearly drops it before looking back from his podium. "Jeez, guys. Don't sneak up on me like that."

"Sorry, we just wanted your help introducing someone to Heaven." Phin says while flying over to him.

"Really? But there's no one here yet."

"Well yeah, he actually came here through a different matter." Emily says as they fly down to the front of the gates.

"Uh... what do you mean?" Peter says, looking puzzled.

"It doesn't matter. We'd like to introduce you to-" Phin then says before he and Emily fly apart and extend their arms to show off the snake angel.

Peter stared at him, blinking for a moment. The snake looked worried, eyes shifting back and forth, his and his hat's.

"Uh, hello." He says while waving with a nervous smile.

"Oh, right, uh... hi, welcome to Heaven. Can I get your name, please?" Peter asks.

"Uh, Sir Pentious... the Great Sir Pentious!" The snake says while trying to put on a proud demeanor.

"Alright, Sir Pentious... hmm..." The blonde started flipping through the pages. "Pentious, Pentious... Is Sir like... part of your name or-"

"N-no, it's just a title."

"Oh, my bad. Okay." He says before flipping pages again. "Ah, here we go, Pentious, right... here, hmm."

"Is something wrong?" Pentious asks nervously.

"No, nothing, it's just... your name is written in red for some reason. That's kinda odd."

"Well, there might be a reason for that." Phin starts to say, which makes the blonde raise an eyebrow at him. "Ya see-"

"Pentious is the first sinner to redeem himself!" Emily excitedly interrupts the other seraphim.

Peter's eyes then went wide. "... What?"

"Yeah! He was a sinner at first, but now he's redeemed himself and become a good person!"

"... Oh... uh..."

"I knew it. This was a bad idea." Pentious starts.

"No, no, it's just... I... wow... this..." Peter then flew down from his podium to get a better look. "A sinner redeeming himself, this is..." He laughed a bit. "I-I never thought I'd see the day."

"It's amazing, right?" Emily says, still excited. "So... we just figured-"

"Oh, right, uh..." Peter then cleared his throat before going over to the gate. "Sorry, I usually do this when someone appears, like, right in front of the gates. Having you come here instead, it's uh..."

"Is, is that gonna be a problem?" Pentious asks.

"N-no, no, of course not. I just, this has... never really happened before..."

"Just welcome him like any other person that comes here. He redeemed himself, and the book says so too."

"I know, but... I'm not exactly too sure because usually-"

"Peter, there's no need to worry." She says while putting a hand on his shoulder. "I know it's sudden and all, but that doesn't change anything. After all, he deserves to be here for bettering him even in the afterlife."

"Well, that does make sense." Peter says before fixing his posture. "Sir Pentious, it is my pleasure to welcome you as the first redeemed sinner to Heaven!" He then says before spreading his wings out as the gates open.

AF: Before you think that I'm gonna put the entire 'Welcome to Heaven' song, or think that I'm just skipping the song... I'm not. It would be funny if, in canon, Peter had to do the song every time he welcomes someone to Heaven, but I'm just gonna theorize that they only did the song because Charlie was like... IDK, a special guest or something. Do you think it's cause of that, Tai?

TK: *Snore*

AF: BRO! WAKE UP! *SMACK!*

TK: HUH!? Wha-that... what is...

AF: What? Did you not get enough sleep last night?

TK: Uh... no?

AF: No you did or didn't?

TK: ... yes?

AF: Oh, god. Just... go sleep over there, I'll call you if I need to.

TK: ... Yay... *Snore*

AF: Aye man, you rea-... Ya know, I'm just gonna say it while I can: shoutout to Lord Ashwood for helping on this part. I struggled a bit... like always.

Sera watched from her widows as the younger Seraphim along with Peter went around the city introducing Pentious to the 'perfect' afterlife. She still was in disbelief... horror... and also... guilt.

Of course, she got the scolding from her peers about all that's been happening, and even more so after she still went on with the Extermination as it led to them losing their First Man.

So many years, so many of these Extermintions, so many lives lost, all of these because she made a decision and decided that the sinners were past redemption out of fear. Yet, this one soul was suddenly able to go to Hell and find his way to Heaven. What... what was it all for?

The fall of one of their exorcists, the death of others, the death of Adam... the death of that human boy... the one with blue eyes... the one that screamed in rage at them... at her... said she wasn't an angel... was he right?

AF: Cut break, sorry. I was planning on using the fan song 'Heaven is Changing' at this moment, but I for one realized that not only is it probably separate from the Fallen Emily AU, but now wouldn't be a good time for-Hey, hey-I see you over there. The guy who complained about the songs from the first book. Okay, I'm watching you, just saying.

TK: ... Defuq?

AF: ... That's something that only people on FFN will get. Where was I? Oh, yeah. So... unfortunately for those reading on fanfiction. net, I can't link the song for you to watch the video, but there's an animatic for it in the video on MilkyyMelodies' YouTube channel and I recommend watching that. Even if I don't use it now, it's an amazing video and song and you should watch it.

"Here, try it." Phin says while handing Pentious one of two waffle cones with chocolate ice cream and rainbow sprinkles. "This is my favorite flavor."

Pentious took the cone and stared at it, uneasy. "T-thank you."

"Do you have ice cream in Hell?"

"We do, but... I just... ya know, I don't know if it has the same..."

"It's fine. You can try it. Go on." Emily encouraged him while holding a plain vanilla cup.

He looked back at the ice cream then slowly stuck his tongue out and licked it. He squinted his eyes in anticipation before opening them, and then taking another lick.

"Wow, this is... delicious." He says before they continue walking and he calls back to the angel running the ice cream cart. "Thank you!"

"So, what do you think so far? Amazing, right?" Phin asks him.

"I mean... it's certainly brighter than Hell." Pentious says while squinting a bit.

"Yeah, that's the best part. All these beautiful colors. The golden shine-" Emily says while spinning a bit and flying forward before tripping a bit, almost falling into someone.

"Hey, careful! You almost knocked over my grandfather's cabbages." Said person tells them while holding up one of the cabbages.

"Sorry, sir."

"You can grow plants here?" Pentious asks with curiosity.

"Yeah, we can grab some seeds from the living world. You new here?" The man asked.

"He is! He just got redeemed!" Emily says while proudly gesturing to the snake.

"Huh. Well, welcome to Heaven." The man says before some kids fly by, knocking against his cart. "Hey watch where you're going!"

Pentious then noticed something out of the corner of his eye and turned his head. He saw... Angel Dust? No, he blinked and it wasn't Angel. It was instead some girl who looked almost like him. The biggest differences were her not having four arms and four legs instead, she appeared shorter, her eyes were red with white sclera and matching, and she didn't have a few smaller eyes under them.

But he just couldn't shake off how similar she looked. She seemed to be talking to another angel who had white hair and blue skin that reminded him of Vaggie.

"Are you okay, Pentious?" Emily asked.

"Y-yes, I'm fine, just-" He starts before she looks where he was glancing and lit up.

"Oh, it's Molly. You wanna talk to her?"

"I mean-"

"I'll go get her. Hey, Molly!" She then flew over to the girl.

"Wait, wait-uh... oh man." Pentious says, nervously.

"Hey, there's no need to be worried. You'll love her." Phin tells him. "Molly is amazing."

"Is that so?"

"Yeah, you'll be friends with her pretty much instantly. A lot of mutual respect with her, but secretly..." Phin then leans in and whispers. "I actually kind of have a crush on her-YOU CAN'T TELL HER! OKAY!?"

Pentious blinked before moving his hand up and doing the mouth zip motion. The Seraphim angel sighed before straightening up when he saw said angel quickly approaching. Pentious then turned and was caught off guard as the angel quickly grabbed and started shaking his hand rapidly.

"Hi! My name is Molly! It is so nice to meet you! Are you new to Heaven? I haven't met someone new in a long time! Do you like it here? How was your stay so far-?" No one could get a word in as she was blurting a sentence out every few seconds and still shaking his hand.

Pentious just stared wide-eyed as the girl was rapidly saying every word and asking every question possible. He turned to the two Seraphim and Emily just giggled before approaching and putting a hand on the other angel's shoulder.

"Okay, Molly. You can stop now."

"Oh, sorry." Molly says while letting go of the snake's arm which was still shaking up and down. "I just get so excited when meeting new friends. It's been a long time since I've made any! Well, not really. I make a lot of different friends-"

"It's no trouble." Pentious says before looking at his shaking arm and grabbing it, making it stop. "Hi, I'm... Pentious."

"Hi! My name is Molly! It is so nice to meet you!"

"I know, you just told me."

"Oh sorry, I didn't think you heard me earlier." She then stared at him before smiling widely. "Are you new to Heaven?"

"Y-yes, I just arrived." He says, a little uneasy.

"Really! Congratulations! Oh, this calls for a party!" She says before bouncing behind him. "We need to get everything set up!" She then disappears below before popping up from upside down. "Do you like big parties?" She then flung herself up before popping up from below. "Cause if you don't, I don't wanna accidentally invite too many people in case I go a little overboard with the decorations and stuff."

"I mean, I... I'd prefer a not-so-big party!"

"Right, I'll get right on it. Be right back!" She then disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

"W-wow, she's... she's uh... certainly... joyful." Pentious says.

"Y-yeah, she's... like I said, amazing." Phin says while blushing a bit.

Pentious laughed a bit. From her being so bubbly and nonseductive instantly, Molly despite looking similar to Angel lacked just about any other thing about him. However, his smile faltered a bit when he thought about Angel. Then he felt Phin wrap an arm around his shoulders.

"C'mon. I'll show you the churros. They're delicious too." The Seraphim tells him while leading him away.

Emily smiled at first when seeing them, although her smile slightly faltered. She reached into her pocket and took out the hat that belonged to the boy who was lost. She clutched it before following along. She was worried, she wanted Pentious to feel welcome, and she was happy that Charlie's plan worked, but... she had to know.

(Meanwhile in the Pokemon World)

"Okay-" Ash says while holding up a clipboard at the entrance to the ranch. "Pikachu?" Pikachu emits electricity. "Charizard?" Charizard roared while giving a small stomp. "Infernape?" Infernape punched his palms with emitting fire. "Sceptile?" Sceptile shows his blades. "And... looks like everyone's here." He says before putting away the clipboard. "Everyone knows the drill, get on defense."

The Pokemon then all did their signature poses, powers ready and fully forced. Ash adjusted the jacket of his Battle Frontier uniform, then cracked his knuckles. He then got into his battle pose and looked into the sky, ready and waiting for what was gonna happen.

They waited... and waited... and waited... and waited... and waited............ but nothing happened. After waiting for a few more minutes, everyone got confused. Ash checked his watch to make sure he wasn't early or something and looked puzzled.

"Where are they?" He says before checking the time again. "They're usually here by now. Is it the wrong day?" He asked no one specific as the Pokemon looked a little puzzled.

"Excuse me, Ash?" They heard and the Pokemon stepped away, making a path.

"Professor Oak, what's up?"

"I think I got this in my mail by mistake, but..." The old professor says while handing him an envelope. "This is for you."

Ash then looked even more confused before opening the letter and taking out a picture. It was the Team Rocket trio all wearing Hawaiian shirts and sunglasses while sitting on a beach. Then there was a small note inside.

Out on vacation,

Stealing your Pikachu next month

He looked between the two as the aforementioned Pokemon hopped on his shoulder to check it out as well. He seemed baffled. Taking a vacation? He couldn't remember the last time they actually decided to take a break. Not that he was complaining.

"And I thought the tea ceremony set they got me for my wedding was the last thing I'd get from them." Ash says before sighing. "We're all good, guys. No need to worry about Team Rocket for a while."

The Pokemon then dispersed. Some like Oshawott were relieved that they weren't gonna be fighting, but others like Charizard were disappointed they weren't gonna dish out some attacks. Their trainer was more or less on the former in their thoughts, mostly because he had other plans.

"Okay, Charlie and Vaggie should be back from dropping off the kids." Ash says as he starts walking inside.

"Ash, not that I wanna judge your friends, but is it really a good idea to leave your children with them?" Oak asks.

"I mean... yeah, their methods can be questionable at times, but they're trustworthy." Ash tells him. "And anyway, we're not trusting them with the kids yet. They're leaving them with their grandfather."

"Good choice in my book." Oak says as they leave the ranch. "Look at you all grown up. Feels like yesterday when I gave you Pikachu for your journey."

"Yeah, time really flies, huh?" The young man says as Pikachu hops on his shoulder.

"If your father was here, he'd be so proud of you."

"I get told that a lot." He says as he leaves. "Take care of the Pokemon, because I have an anniversary to get on."

(Meanwhile in Heaven)

"-And these are the bottles of milk." Charlie says while dunking a bag into her brother's arms, nearly knocking him over. "You should be set there. Just make sure they're fed and don't overfeed them. Just make sure they're changed and-"

"Easy, easy." Vaggie says while rubbing her shoulder. "It's okay. We're only gonna be gone for a day."

"Yeah, I think we can handle a few kids for a day." Cecilia tells her.

"Think this is more than last time." Connor says as he looks in the bag.

"Don't worry, we'll take good care of them." Charles tells her.

"Thank you. Dad-" Charlie then looked at her father. "You're gonna be alright with this, right?"

"Of course." Lucifer says as he laughs as he holds the kids. "I can handle the little tykes." He says while Aurora uses his hair to pull herself to his shoulder.

"Okay. Riolu, Keekee, you got this too, don't you?" She then asks the small jackal and cyclops cat.

*Bau* Riolu barked while saluting.

"Good. Pikachu is with Delia, so now we're gonna be-"

"Wait, hold on." The king man says, stopping them as Aaron starts chewing on his thumb. "Did you remember to pack condoms?"

The couple then went wide-eyed. "I mean..." Vaggie says under her breath.

"Charlie." Lucifer says in a stern tone as Levi tugs on his bowtie.

"Aha, W-well..." Charlie nervously chuckles. "I mean... I heard they can be pretty uncomfortable and we couldn't find any big enough for-"

"That's not a fucking excuse. Do you really wanna risk it?" Cecilia asks her.

"Come on, what are the chances of it happening again so soon?"

"You two got pregnant at the same time. I'd say chances are high." Connor tells her.

"Well, I mean, I don't know if there's really any places that'll-"

"Okay, hold that thought." Lucifer says before snapping his fingers, then a book manifested in his hand as Aurora pulls his hat down. "Here. You don't wanna use condoms, use the spell in this book before you do you-know-what. Not directly before, not anytime after. The spell will keep you from making more babies-"

"Okay, okay. Thank you, Dad." Charlie says before taking the book. "Uh, wow, so... uh... w-we're just... gonna go now." She then went to the kids. "Bye-bye now. Your mommies will be back tomorrow, okay." She says before giving each of the three a kiss on the head.

"Yeah, so behave." Vaggie says as she also goes over to the children. "Don't give-" She kisses Levi's head. "Your grandfather-" Kisses Aaron. "Or your aunt and uncles-" Then finally kisses Aurora. "Trouble."

The last child giggled before the two stepped away while smiling. "Alright, bye! Take care!" They say before walking out the door.

"Phew, well... yeah, I am not ready to deal with another pregnant Charlie." Cecilia says.

"Yeah, especially the first time."

(Flashback)

Connor was sitting in a chair in the Ketchum home, watching some sappy soap opera in the living room. Across from him was Vaggie who was rubbing her baby bump. He took a glance at her and thought.

"You know, you're taking this pregnancy thing pretty well." He says.

"Yeah, it uh... it's actually not as bad as I thought."

"I mean, weren't you throwing up just yesterday?"

"I was, but this doesn't seem so bad... just a little weird." Vaggie says while rubbing her belly. "I mean, I was trained to be essentially a warrior. Now I'm about to become a freaking mother."

"Yeah, that shit's kinda crazy to think about. Can't relate though." Connor says before coughing.

*CRASH!*

"WHAT WAS THAT!?" Charlie screamed as she had just burst through the ceiling. "WHAT WAS THAT NOISE!?"

"Charlie-" Ash says as he runs down.

"Did you hear that!? Tell me you heard that! Tell me I'm not going crazy!"

"Babe, calm down!" Vaggie says as she runs over to comfort her. "It was just a cough."

"Yeah, I just got a tickle in my throat-" Connor tried to say.

"No, no, it wasn't just a cough-It wasn't-" Charlie was still freaking out.

"Sweetheart, please calm down-" Ash tried to say.

"DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN!" Charlie screamed while turning full demon before she realized and reeled back. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry-!"

"Sh, sh, sh, it's okay." Ash says as he hugs her.

"It's alright, we're here, baby." Vaggie says as she also hugs her. "We're here."

Charlie then starts sobbing as she hugs back, her tail going limp. Connor stared, wide-eyed as he'd never seen her act like this before but sighed, having gone through this with someone else already.

(End of Flashback)

"Haven't seen anyone act like that since mom was carrying you." Connor chuckles.

Cecilia glared at him... then kicked him in the shin, making him bounce on one foot while holding his leg.

(Meanwhile)

Speaking of which. We cut to Lilith who was still sitting on the beach before sneezing and then rubbing her nose.

"Swear to god, whoever is talking shit about me again..." Lilith scoffs.

She took the margarita and sipped it silently at first... then she started sipping louder... then louder... then angrily took the straw out before downing it. She then yelled in annoyance before chucking the empty glass at the sand, breaking it and causing the ice to spray across the sand.

She was pissed, but the thing is... she didn't know what she was pissed about. Or who she was pissed at. That wasn't right. She couldn't just be angry out of the blue like that. Something had to have pissed her off, but what? Those angels interrupting her vacation? The margarita? The sky? The sand?

"Ugh, why!?" She groaned to herself.

She took off her sunglasses and rubbed her temples, then began to think deeply. Maybe she was mad because those angels were definitely gonna be a headache since they were not getting what they wanted, she knew how they were. Eight years straight and now they decide to ruin her vacation, and it was all because of this.

What were they thinking anyway? It's not like she'd care about Adam or her deal. He practically broke his end of it anyway. She got a feeling immediately when he did break it. He was dead to her, and now he's dead period, and the angels were giving her shit because he lost to some random demon.

Then she laid back while thinking. Should she stay there? She wanted at least to be there for a while longer, but if the angels were gonna give her hell, she might as well just go back to it. She had a family sure, but all her children were grown up now. Adults over hundreds of years old. They didn't need their mommy to hold their hands... well adults physically.

She still knew that Charlie, despite being her oldest child, was still the most childlike of the four. Her apart from Charles who was her youngest. And now apparently she was trying to redeem sinners in Hell? Even she herself moved on from trying to help the ungrateful. Apparently, her daughter didn't though and that somehow led to Adam's defeat and death.

To say she didn't miss them though...

On another note though-

"That human they told me about."

It was not strange to imagine her daughter falling for a human. Even though she hadn't dated for so many years, it wouldn't be off to see her dating even an angel at that point. Still though, supposedly this human was also able to put up a fight against Adam and beat him down. She still thought it had to be bullshit... but she was curious to see what this boy looked like.

"... Maybe I could visit at some point." She says before leaning back. "If anything to see what's going on down there."

(Elsewhere)

"And then there's the zoo, the penguin exhibit is the best." Phin says as the three were sitting on a bench with churros. "They do shows where the penguins, they are really talented. They can race, they can jump high out of the water, they are so adorable."

"And you can pet them all you want. They're so smooth and even playful." Emily says.

"That does sound nice." Pentious chuckles before looking down.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

"N-nothing, just... you know thinking about... my friends and everyone at the hotel. I..."

"Oh, right, they're still down in Hell, right?"

"Yes, they... I mean... I... I don't know."

Emily's eyes then widened. "Oh no the Extermination."

Phin then gasped. "Oh... ohhhh! Oh, I... I'm sorry I didn't mean to..." He started to say. "I mean, it's not... t-they might still be alive. You never know."

"I... I hope so." Pentious says while scratching his neck. "I mean, they have to have, right? We were prepared for it and everything, so..."

"Yeah, yeah, so maybe they are still alive." Phin continued while putting a hand on his shoulder. "Don't think too much about it."

Pentious looked back at his half-eaten churro. Was he overthinking things? Sure he died and his egg boys also perished, but that didn't necessarily mean that others did die with him, right? If they had, wouldn't they have come with him? He took a while to arrive there, so maybe they were on their way and just taking longer, or maybe they really weren't dead. He didn't have any reason to make assumptions.

"Hey, uh... just a small question." Emily asks, snapping him from his thoughts. "Well, not really small but..." She says before taking out a hat. "Do you know... the person who owns this?"

Pentious looked at it, then realized instantly. "Y-yes, it belongs to, Ash."

"So, you know him?" The Seraphim asks with hope-filled eyes. "Do you know if he's okay?"

"Y-yes, he's... last time I saw him he was doing well."

"Really!?" Phin asked as he nodded. "He's okay-T-that's amazing!"

"He's... wait... when did you last see him?" Emily asks.

"Well, uh, I heard he... had a hole in his chest when landed. But, he was helping us during the Extermination and everything." Pentious explained.

"... S-so... he's in Hell? Right now?"

"That's the last place I saw him, yes."

Emily then looked concerned as she looked over at Phin who had the same look on his face. He didn't come up to Heaven when he died. It didn't make any sense, but he was down in Hell and...

"H-he became a sinner?" Emily asks.

Pentious was stunned at that moment, trying to piece together what the little angel just asked. They hadn't noticed the small floating device that flew at a distance, observing. Nor did they notice two people in particular walking down the road.

"Ya know, maybe that wasn't the best idea." Tenant sighed. "Still, I can't believe she's been up here. I thought she was supposed to stay down there."

Lute hardly even listened to him, she just stared at the halo in his hands. She clutched it tight before gritting her teeth, her wings shaking slightly in anger. Then she suddenly felt herself grabbed and pulled away.

"Hey, careful!" Someone passing by her says.

"Lute, can you keep your eyes up." Tenant tells her.

"I just... I..." Lute starts to say before groaning.

"Yeah, I get it." The cat angel says before stepping in front of her. "Look, I just wanna know one thing. Why did Adam make a deal with... you know, 'her'? Especially her."

"What the fuck do you think?" She put away the halo then grabbed him and pulled him down before whispering. "Morningstar took everything from him. That bitch left him for that fucker and that same fucker took his other wife. Being banished is enough of a punishment." She says while letting go and continued walking.

"Wha... wait-" The other exorcist says before catching up. "So this is all for a bunch of petty shit?"

"Petty? Did you not just hear me?"

"Just saying, I don't think he really cared much about either his first or second wife. He seemed to have a pretty good life up here, all things considered."

"That doesn't make what he did petty. And besides, Lu-" Lute caught her words as she passed by other angels. "'He' is the reason evil has gotten free in that world, and we cannot allow it to infest here. So, we're doing God's work by teaching these fuckers a lesson." She then sighed. "Killing Adam should cement that they are past redemption."

"Yeah, I know there's no saving them and all, but they know how to kill us and we barely survived attacking that hotel." The cat tells her. "And that human... or whatever he is, he's the main reason we lost and kicked our asses without trouble."

"And he's gonna be the main target." The woman says while turning and stopping them again. "The only reason he won was because he had that stupid dragon attack me earlier."

"Lute, I don't know if you remember, but I blasted a hole straight through his chest with holy light and he survived."

"Clearly it's some kind of regeneration thing. Maybe we need to disintegrate him until there is nothing left."

Tenant smacked his head. "Okay, forget the human for a moment. What about that giant dragon thing that appeared out of nowhere? That thing will chew us up for breakfast. If it shows up again, we're doomed."

"It caught us off guard before, but it won't this time. Once Sera knows about this-"

"Sera is already dealing with shit from the higher-ups! They're probably pissed after she allowed this shit to go on without telling them!"

Lute wanted to argue back but found herself struggling. Tenant sighed.

"Look, I know you wanna get back at them. But I don't think we're gonna be able to have another Ex... ya know. Even if we don't..." He trailed off as he looked behind her and his eyes widened.

"What? Even if we don't then what?" She asks in confusion.

Tenant pointed behind her, making her look dumbfounded before turning around. Then Lute's eyes widen as well. She caught sight of the three angels on the bench. The two Seraphim she ignored, but the snake-looking angel? No, she couldn't ignore that.

"There's... there's no way. He's not actually down there is he?" Phin asks in disbelief.

"Well, again last time I saw him was down there. Like I said, when the Extermination happened, he was there helping us." Pentious reexplains. "But he-"

"Hey, there you are!" Molly says, startling them. "I got everything set up, everyone is there, I would've made it a surprise party but ya know, since I told you it's not really a surprise at all, but it's gonna be super duper awesome!" She says while bouncing before grabbing Pentious hand and immediately start dragging him away. "Come on! Everyone's waiting!"

The snake angel yelped as he was being pulled away by the other angel. Phin still appeared to be in disbelief before he looked at Emily. The young Seraphim only looked down at the hat in her hands and clutched it tight. As much as she didn't want to believe it, she had gotten an answer she didn't want.

"Wha..." Tenant says as he watches Molly take the snake away. "I-is that... n-no that's not... I-I mean, there's no way."

Lute was again silent, staring ahead. There was so much she felt in that moment. Confusion, disbelief, fear, and... most of all... anger.

AshFan: Okay, there should be one or two more cuts after this, then it'll be ready to post.

TaiKetch'em: *Yawn* Then what're you gonna do?

AF: I'm working on that.

(Back in the Pokemon World)

So I have to point this out, but the outfits the girls are wearing are the ones from the recent 2025 Valentine's promo card of Charlie and Vaggie on a date with Razzle pouring a drink for them.

As for Ash, he still has his casual outfit on.

We move to a place in the Hoenn Region called Lavaridge Town, where our hero after arriving with his wives had first taken them to the town bakery. The three were sat at a table all with a cookie they were unwrapping, Charlie being the first to take a bite. Instantly her eyes lit up, and she hummed sharply in absolute glee.

"It's like..." Vaggie chewed. "Cinnamon... sweet, yet spicy."

"And so good!" Charlie gushed before eating more of it.

"I know, right?" Ash says before taking a bite of his cookie. "I haven't been here in a while, but it's still as good as I remember."

"Right, this is one of the places you traveled to, right?" Vaggie asked.

"I did. Hard to forget a lot of my memories on any of my journeys."

"This is amazing." Charlie says while still munching.

"Well, not as amazing as what I got you two for this day." The man laughs before straightening a bit. "I can pull it out now unless you wanna give each other one first."

"Oh no it's fine, we can start with you first. Since you gave us gifts last time, we'll go first." Charlie says before she hands him a gift. "This one's from me."

Ash took it and opened it up before taking it out. "Oh, it's a watch."

"Not just a watch. It also is made to tell the time of month, and day, keep up with the lunar cycle, and as a bonus, it also has a function that'll allow you to find the phone of anyone in the hotel."

"Wow, that much, huh?"

"Yeah, I had to get a little help from my family to really get one in good condition... or that worked properly. If it has any bugs, I'm sorry."

"You don't have to be sorry." Ash says before putting it on. "It's nice. Cool looking too." He says as she smiles.

"And now it's my turn." Vaggie says while giving him a box.

He took it and opened it as well. He took out a pair of gloves that looked oddly familiar to... Sir Aaron's.

"With all the time of raising the kids, I've been working on stitching so, in the meantime, I made you a new pair of gloves. Pikachu helped me pick out a design since the ones you originally had got... destroyed with the original hotel during the Extermination." She tells him. "It should also help you have a better grip on that sword of yours."

"That's... that's amazing. I can definitely say I didn't expect that."

"Speaking of the sword, we should really get back to training when we have enough time away from the kids." She then says, making the other two snort in laughter.

"That's amazing." Ash says before putting it down and then picking up the two gifts he had in his lap. "My turn now. These are for you."

"Okay, let's see what we got."

The girls then take the gifts from him. He waits in anticipation while reaching back into his pocket for something else. As they opened their gifts, they found that they both had a necklace. Both looked like they were half a heart, for Charlie it was a red ruby and Vaggie had a blue sapphire.

"Oh no, I can't accept this!" Charlie says before handing it back to him.

"Yeah, this, this is too much." Vaggie says while attempting to do the same.

"No, no, keep them. You deserve them." Ash insisted.

"Ash, y-you, you really don't have, this is..." Charlie started to say again.

"Keep, they're yours and yours alone. Happy Valentine's Day."

The girls looked like they wanted to say something again, but decided against it. They looked at each other, and they moved the pieces together... only to find they didn't connect which made them dumbfounded.

"Oh, right, sorry." Ash says before he takes out another necklace piece, this one having a green emerald. "It might be more complete with this."

He then held it out before they did as well. Charlie put hers on the right, and Vaggie put hers on the left. Together the three pieces connected and made a full heart between them and only then did they notice that it had their initials on each piece. The three smiled before pulling away.

"Wow, this is... I don't know what to even say now." Vaggie says.

"I know. I guess... happy Valentine's Day, Ash." Charlie says as the man only chuckles in response.

"Yeah, now we all have a piece to remember each other by." Ash tells them.

"Well, I mean I already have something like that." Vaggie says before showing him the bracelet he got her last year which his smile widens at. "But anyway, Charlie, I still have a present for you." She says before taking out another gift.

Charlie took it and opened it. "Ooh, a journal."

"A dream journal. You can use it to write your thoughts down whenever you have them. Figured you'd like it."

"I love it. Thank you so much." The blonde says before hugging her tightly. "I love you."

"Yeah, I love you too."

She then noticed the princess hold up a box. Vaggie took the box as they broke the hug, allowing her to open it and then look shocked. She reached in and took out... a halo...

"So, what do you think?" Charlie asked with a hopeful smile.

Vaggie didn't say anything, just stared at it in her hand. It didn't take Charlie or their husband long to notice.

"Vaggie?" Ash asks.

"Oh my gosh, I am so sorry. I forgot that it's still a sensitive-" Charlie started to say.

"No, no, it's fine, just..." Vaggie says, staring at it. "It's just a little surprising. It's been a while since I've had one."

She took a deep breath before taking it out of the box, then blinking as she realized it was plastic and attached to a headband by a wire. It wasn't the real deal, but a headpiece.

"Yeah, I can't really get an actual halo." Charlie tells her. "Do you... still want it."

"Yes, I want it. I love it, it's nice. Thank you." Vaggie says before hugging her.

"You're welcome. Happy Valentine's Day."

Ash only smiled before sitting up straight. "Ya know, I'm glad you two are still focusing on each other than just focusing on me."

"We have time for you. But I also have time..." Charlie then says before making Vaggie look at her and kissing her lips for a second. "For you." She finishes as the angel smiles.

"Hehe, well that's good." The man smiles before doing a small stretch. "We still have one place to go while still here."

(Later that night)

They were currently in the hot spring, clothes stripped and in baskets, and only towels covering their bodies.

"This is amazing!" Charlie says as she steps into the steaming water. "Oh, it's so warm it's perfect."

"Yeah, that's why it's the best place in the region." Ash says while closing the door. "In other regions too. They just added mixed bathing."

"How much did it cost to book this?" Vaggie asked.

"I didn't focus much on the price. Only had two people on my mind when it came to this."

"Okay." She laughed as the two of them went to the waters as well. "Someone's gotten cheesy."

"I still miss when you were shy sometimes." Charlie says.

Vaggie then moved down, sinking into the water up to her chest and then laying against the edge. She sighed as the soothing warmth enveloped her, Charlie joining beside her.

"Wow, this is even better than I thought." Vaggie says.

"I know, right?" The blonde says while still smiling. "Maybe we come back again."

"I can see about booking it again. Whenever you want. Doesn't have to just be Valentine's Day." Ash tells them.

"Maybe wait a bit and not get too greedy."

He chuckled before sitting on the other side of Vaggie, putting a hand on her back. His smile faltered a bit as he felt the scars that remained there even after getting her wings back. As much as he felt bad for her, he knew there wasn't much he could do. Taking a deep breath, he instead laid back as he looked up into the night sky.

He thought about how the night skies there and Hell were so different from each other, from Hell having just a dark brown color while this world was dark blue and full of stars. Part of him wondered what the sky on Earth from his wives' world was like and if it was like the one here and even Heaven.

Unfortunately, he hadn't thought about ever going to that Earth and wasn't in Heaven long enough to see it at night. As much as he still had some disdain about the people that had been brought there, part of him still wanted to see if there were any other angels there like Emily and Phin.

But he didn't focus on that. Before either of the girls noticed, he shook his head and smiled before leaning down and enjoying the water along with them.

"Hey, ya know, I still wanna help people get redeemed." Charlie speaks up. "Even if we're all busy now with kids, work, and each other, and even if we can't get them into Heaven, I'd still like to help them get better at least. Whoever wants to anyway."

"There's nothing wrong with that. And you're right, we can still help the people who want to be helped be better." He says before putting a hand on her shoulder. "Even if there's only so few of them."

"We do have more traction and respect after defending the hotel from the angels, so I think we're gonna have better chances of finding volunteers now." Vaggie says. "Hopefully that'll help for the cause."

"I know." Charlie says before pulling the two into a hug, pressing their bodies together. "I love you two. This has been the best Valentine's Day ever."

"Heh, yeah. Love you too, babe." Vaggie says while hugging back.

"Yeah, love you two too." Ash says before they pull back, then notices something. "Uh, no alarm... but, you two are leaking."

He was referencing the damp spots on their towels that weren't from the water. Charlie only giggled.

"I know. ~" She says before she and Vaggie give him a look.

He knew that look very well, and he wasn't against it.

AshFan: Lime alert people.

TaiKetch'em: Wait, what?

AF: I'm doing a lime here.

TF: Don't you wanna end the chapter so you can finally get it out?

AF: Dude, it is not that long. Take a chill pill.

Quiet and sensual moans filled the hot spring the married throuple were in, particularly that of their angel. Vaggie was moaning as she was having her breasts feasted upon by her husband and wife, Ash sucking her right while Charlie was taking her left. The angel had a hand on the back of their heads.

The blonde was more eager yet still gentle with her wife's teet, and the human was delicate while still enjoying her delectable milk. Vaggie was easily falling under the side effects of letting her lovers do as they please, the heat emitting from her face being about doubled thanks to the hot spring's steam.

She leaned her head back while smiling as she started to feel pleasure through her body. The longer she felt their tongues brush against her nipples, the more she felt another feeling going somewhere. Unfortunately to her dismay, they stopped and pulled away. The aftermath of which left her a panting mess, a slight dribble of milk from one of her nipples before the princess licked it up.

"You okay, Vaggie?" Ash asked in concern.

"Yeah... y-yeah, that... w-was amazing." She moaned.

The two smiled in relief knowing she was still okay. Ash brushed some of his hair out of the way, it starting to become sticky from the steam of the hot spring. Then he looked at Charlie who pulled her towel down, revealing her breasts, making the other two perk up.

"It's my turn now. ~" She says in a suggestive tone.

After taking a second to compose themselves, the two took her nipples into her mouth, the man being on the princess' right and the angel on her left. She gasped but moaned as she held both their shoulders, feeling delight in it.

Ash was amazed by the fact that despite using a pump, they still were lactating even now. That and their milk was still as good as he remembered. And that was just one of the perks.

"Yes, that's it." Charlie moaned.

She didn't feel the same effect that Vaggie felt, being more resistant to the heat and steam. However, that didn't stop her from feeling another type of heat that coursed through her body, and eventually found its way down to a certain area... one that caused her tail to emerge and wrap around Vaggie's waist.

The two then got the idea and pulled away, leaving the blonde to pant before retracting her tail back.

AshFan: Aight, lime is over people.

"Hoo, I missed that feeling." She says before giving her breast a little rub.

"It's really been a while since we've done this. Missed the feeling too." Vaggie also says.

"Ditto. But now that we finally get the chance to ourselves, we can do it without worry." Ash also says.

"Yeah, well, hope you got a good taste. That milk is for the boys every other time." She tells him with a smirk.

He only chuckles in response before leaning back. Charlie then gave Vaggie a look and a head tilt, and the angel understood before nodding.

"Hey, Ash, we're gonna head up to the room early." Charlie then says.

"Wha-Already? But we haven't been here that long." Ash asks.

"I know, but... it's getting late. Sorry, honey." Vaggie tells him before kissing him.

"Alright, not gonna force you to stay." He says in a slightly dejected tone.

"Oh, don't be like that, sweetie. We can still come back tomorrow." Charlie says before kissing him as well. "We'll see you up there."

"Alright, I'll be up in a minute."

Ash sat in the water as Charlie and Vaggie got out and left, leaving him alone in it. He did have the place booked until sometime tomorrow, having used a good amount of money from his job, but that wasn't the point. Maybe the intimate moment they had just now in the hot springs was a little much at the moment.

He only let out a relaxed sky before sinking further in until his head was submerged in the water. It wouldn't be safe for a normal human to do it, but he was anything but normal. He just took the time he needed in there to relax and enjoy it.

(A minute later)

Ash left the hot spring, got dressed, and was now on his way to the room he booked for the night. Part of him wonders if he'll run into Flannery. He hadn't seen her yet, probably because she was busy with a challenger. He wasn't planning on battling her since this was supposed to be his anniversary with his wives, but part of him was slightly hoping to see an old friend like her again.

As he arrived at the room he booked, he stretched and was ready to go in and meet the girls. As he took out the keys, part of him wondered if they were sleeping. He figured they weren't, but to make sure, he put his ear against the door and heard nothing. So, not feeling the need to wake them, he didn't say anything as he unlocked the door.

However, the second he opened it, he was greeted by the sound and sight of the two making out. His presence in the room didn't seem to deter them as they kept doing so. What did deter them though was his dropping the keys on the floor, which caused them to freeze, then stare at him.

"Look who finally arrived. ~" Charlie says in a seductive tone.

"Bienvenido de nuevo guapo. ~" Vaggie also says in the same tone.

It wasn't their kissing that made him still and red-faced, but the lingerie that they were wearing as they did so.

Image made by ChandlLucky on Twitter.

AshFan: The current outfits they're wearing are from the 2025 Valentine's Day merch which... they're hot but like the original, I cannot describe how they look because Vivziepop couldn't decide to make them simple. She had to make the designs complex as fuck.

TaiKetch'em: Yeah, I know. I drew them in those outfits and... not easy. That's all I'll say.

"U-uh, w-wow, uh... this... t-this is... I-I... hehe..." Ash nervously chuckled as his face started to heat up.

"There's the shy cutie I missed." Charlie giggled before giving him 'the eyes'. "So, ready for your second Valentine's Gift? ~"

"I-I'd be lying if I said... *Gulp* I was prepared for this. This is... a lot to take in."

"Well, you went out of your way to bring us to a place like this." Vaggie says before they walk over and hug each arm of his, pushing them into their cleavages. "We figured you deserve something in return."

"I see, but... are you sure you wanna do this now?" Ash asks, still red-faced.

"Don't worry, we're protected. My dad gave me a spellbook for it." Charlie says before closing the door behind with her tail. "Now, where were we?" She asks before the man smirks, then bends down and picks them both up and over his shoulders. "Woah!"

"I think I know where." He says before he starts the walk to the bedroom.

Charlie and Vaggie only giggled as they knew what was coming next. Safe to say, that room would have been noisy if they hadn't soundproofed it.

To be continued...

TaiKetch'em: Now that we're done with the chapter, here's my artwork specifically for the chapter.

TK: And an ALT.

AshFan: Damn, really went out of your way, huh?

TK: Yeah, it took me days just to get down. Not like I had to though.

AF: Come on, man. It’s just one chapter.

TK: I hope so. You can find the images on my Deviantart: MacMar02. My Twitter: taiketch59719. And my BlueSky account: taiketchem.bsky.social. All of which where-

AF: Dude, dude. What are you doing?

TK: I’m putting in some self-promotion?

AF: Wh-On my story? I already told them that you have an AO3 account now.

TK: Yeah, I get that, but I just… did you list me as a co-creator?

AF: Yeah, it’s a collab so I figured you wouldn’t mind.

TK: Oh, well… thanks I guess. But anyway, you asked for art on this chapter, I think I deserve to give my handles on where I upload art.

AF: I… fair. Check out Tai’s Deviantart, Twitter, and BluSky accounts under the names he listed for more of his artwork.

AF: Before I go, yes, next MIGHT be a lemon chapter. Yes, Emily is gonna become a love interest… if that wasn’t obvious enough. No, I will not add any more girls after that. Thank you all for reading and Happy Valentine’s Day-

TK: Dude, it’s long past Valentine’s Day.

AF: WHAT!?

TK: Yeah, It’s February the 18th.

AF: DAMMIT! I’m late again… *Sigh*... see you all next time.

Chapter Text

And I am back. Sorry for the long wait and yes, here is the lemon chapter. So, I've learned something and it's that, I shouldn't have started working on three stories simultaneously at the same time. Yeah, can see the pain of doing that now.

TaiKetch'em: Should've just stuck to one.

AshFan: HOW THE F... Ugh, please knock. And also, what are you even doing here? You don't do lemons. And I thought you had your own story to get on, or art requests and stuff.

TK: I'm just checking in to make sure you're okay.

AF: Well, I'm good. Nothing to worry about.

TK: Alright, but I do agree. Maybe stick to one story next time.

AF: Yeah, I'll take your advice on that. Anyway, before we get into the actual lemon, there's gonna be a small scene before then. Enjoy the chapter.

Quick reminder: (...) = Cutaway

(Lavaridge To-

TK: AH AH, hold on. Did you give the mandatory thank you?

AF: Almost slipped my mind. Thank you to Lord Ashwood the 42nd.

TK: Okay, now I can take my leave.

AF: Okay, actually onto the chapter now.

(Lavaridge Town, hotel room)

To start, Charlie was making out with Ash, her hand down, stroking his crotch, his arm around her back and hand fondling one of her breasts. Meanwhile, Vaggie was leaning against his other side for support, her hand under his shirt while the man's other hand was rubbing one of her asscheeks.

The human could feel the softness between his fingers while his moans were muffled as he felt pleasure on both his chest and his growing member. He loved it. It was such an amazing feeling that could never grow old no matter how many times he's done this.

While still kissing Charlie, Ash appeared to stop faking his struggle before his tongue overpowered hers, much to her surprise but also her pleasure. He took it a step further by reaching under Vaggie's ass and start rubbing her crotch through her corset. She jolted at the feeling before moaning.

She didn't seem to let it slide, though, and leaned forward, pressing her lips against the two's while they were still kissing. It caught the both of them off guard, however, Charlie was quick to adapt, and the two started double-teaming against their husband. Ash was caught off guard at first, but he didn't falter and kept fighting, the playing field becoming even.

He let out a muffled moan and was starting to get pushed back a bit, making him shift one of his feet back to keep his balance. The two seemed to have gotten better at their teamwork against him, which was something he didn't mind, even finding some fun in being challenged by them.

However, as he was human, he needed oxygen and was losing more, especially as the girls were still going. He pulled back, but that gave them the idea they were winning. Letting out another muffled groan, he stopped pleasuring them with his hands and patted their backs.

They seemed to get the message and pulled away, leaving strings of saliva between their lips and a bit of smudged lipstick stains left behind. However, he gasped, feeling relief for having air yet dismay at having been overpowered.

"Sorry, was that too much?" Vaggie asks, worried.

"Maybe a little." Ash says while wiping the lipstick off his mouth. "Not that I didn't enjoy it, though."

"Yeah, you're not so bad yourself. Especially with that tongue. ~" Charlie says in a seductive tone, which makes his face turn redder, making her giggle. "Oh, I missed seeing you embarrassed! You are so cute when you are." She said while gently pinching his cheek before kissing it.

"Seriously, we've been doing this for over a year, and you're still getting embarrassed?" Vaggie giggled as well before kissing his other cheek. "She's right, though. You're adorable when embarrassed. I missed it too."

"Hard not to be, even now. Feel like you two went all out compared to the last outfits." Ash tells them.

"Yeah, the old ones didn't fit anymore after... ya know."

"I know."

He then got shoved down on the bed and straddled by Charlie.

"Ya know, it's been a year since we got together. What do you think about us? ~" The princess asks.

"Sweetie, you know how I feel about you." He tells her.

"I know, but I like to hear you talk about us. Like... what do you think of our bodies? ~" She says while pushing herself more against him.

"Yeah, ya know..." Vaggie says before she lays on the bed next to them, putting her hand on the boy's arm. "I'm kinda itching to know what you think as well."

Ash blushed again, chuckling a bit. They had gotten more comfortable in acting this way. The majority of the time, they were loving girlfriends to him and each other, but during times like this, they seemed to let out their lustful sides with him. However, asking about their bodies was something new to him, but he thought quickly.

"Well... both of you are really beautiful." He says before he brushes each hand up their arms. "I love your beautiful, smooth, gray and white skin." Then he moved his hands through their hair. "Soft hair that I can't get enough of..." He says before Charlie rests her forehead against his.

"What else?" She asked.

"Y-your..." He squinted as he felt her press against him, and he just smirked. "Your eyes. Every time I gaze into them, I... I see a paradise. A love... that... I know..." He tried to keep a straight face but ended up chuckling. "I-I'm sorry. I'm trying not to sound cheesy here."

"Heh, ha ha ha ha!" Charlie laughed aloud. "It's alright, honey. You sound cute either way."

"He, he, and that. I like the way you laugh and your voice. It's so melodic, especially when you're singing."

"Oh, you."

She grabbed his face and attacked him with a flurry of kisses which made him laugh from how it tickled him. Afterward, she got off him and pushed Vaggie into him. The angel was a little dazed but regained her composure as her wife made the 'go on' motion, either for her or for their husband. The two looked at each other and blushed while smiling.

"Heh, uh..." Vaggie said while tucking her hair behind her ear. "Not out of compliments, are you?"

"Nope." Ash says before taking her by the waist and turning on the bed where he is on top. "Cause I like hearing your voice and how... angelic it sounds."

She at first chuckled at the irony before he leaned down and nibbled gently on her neck, making the hairs on the back of her neck rise as she felt his lips and the moist of his mouth against her skin. The feeling made her let out a small moan before he pulled away.

"And I admire how strong you are."

"Well, that I-"

"No, do not say you're not strong." He said before pulling her into a hug and placing her head against his chest. "You're the strongest woman I've ever met, no doubt in my mind." He tells her before rubbing the spot where he just kissed her. "That's why you're my Guardian Angel."

His words were again moving to her, and she hugged back, smiling all the way. Even in this room where she was dressed so lewdly with her wife for this man's pleasure, he still was kind and loving to her, to both of them, and was willing to show his care even now.

"I don't know what I'd do without either of you." She says as a tear runs down her face.

"You're the best, sweetie." Charlie says before joining in the hug.

They all shared a lovely moment together, showing their love for each other. And that was just the start.

(Meanwhile)

"Aw, you're such an adorable little birdie. Yes you are, yes you are." Cecilia said as she was making baby noises and faces at Levi, who just stared at her blankly. "Wow, okay. I don't think he likes me."

"Don't say that." Lucifer said while walking to her as the baby reached for him. "He likes you. He just doesn't know how to show it yet." He says while taking the baby from her and then giving him his rubber duck.

"Just saying, I don't feel much like an aunt with him."

"You're not the only one he does that with." Conner says as he puts on a welding mask and starts to change Aurora, Pikachu handing him the clean diaper. "He's got a poker face that can rival Belphegor."

"Ya know, speaking of which. We haven't seen her in a while." Charles said while pulling a plastic ring from Aaron's mouth and passing it to Riolu. "How do you think she'd feel about these little guys?"

"I don't know. She doesn't do much. Just sleeps around all day." Cecilia says.

"That is I can agree with you on." Conner says before taking off the welding mask before picking up his now clean and giggling niece. "And she didn't create a hole in the ceiling this time."

Then she sniffled before the man ducked as she sneezed fire in his direction. He checked to make sure nothing was burned, then looked at her and she just giggled in response.

"Heh, just like her mother." Lucifer laughed.

"Bet she's having fun right now." Cecilia says.

(Back to Ash's world)

Okay, this is actually where the lemon starts. If you want to skip it, go ahead.

Their clothes were now strewn on the floor. Vaggie was moaning as she sat in Charlie's lap, the blonde behind her, kissing her neck and fondling her breasts, her face and shoulder having a few faded lipstick marks. Meanwhile, Ash was on his knees, spreading her legs while lapping at her entrance.

This time, she was the one being pleasured by the two, and she held out for as best as she could. Charlie, after a few kisses, bit the spot between her shoulder and neck, making her gasp before reaching up and caressing her cheek. She put her other hand on the man's head, her body tingling each time he licked her lower lips.

The blonde then pulled away, leaving a bite mark before licking it, making the angel moan further. After a while, Ash moved closer and stuck his tongue into her entrance, making her arch her head back and moan loudly as she came, spraying her juices onto his face.

"Fuck." She moaned as she leaned back against her wife. "Fuck that was amazing."

"No kidding." Ash said as he pulled away while wiping his face.

Charlie only smiled as she hugged Vaggie, nuzzling her cheek.

This time, Charlie was laid on the bed with Ash at her chest, massaging one of her breasts while sucking on the other. Meanwhile, Vaggie was below and licking her vagina while fingering herself. The blonde bit her lip as she ran her fingers through their hair.

Vaggie couldn't help herself. It had been a while since she last actually tasted her wife's juices and she missed the sweet taste that matched the bubbly princess, and it didn't change one bit. She especially enjoyed hearing her voice, which, as their husband said, was melodic.

Ash stopped and switched to sucking on Charlie's other breast, enjoying the taste of her milk and amazed that she was still lactating even now. His member was hard and rubbing against her hip, only turning harder from the sensation.

"Yes, that's it. Just like that." The blonde moaned.

While Vaggie was still licking the blonde's lower lips, she saw her husband's member slide from her wife's hip and into view. She slowed down for a moment upon catching sight of it, watching it wobble as if it were tempting her to do something with it.

She looked back and forth, attempting to focus on the blonde princess' vaginal lips and still lapping. Eventually, though, she stopped and pulled away before grabbing the man's member and taking it into her mouth. Ash flinched a bit as he felt her bobbing her head on his length, trying to focus on Charlie, but easily getting distracted.

Charlie felt a little dismayed because her spouses were focusing less on her. Ash seemed to sense this and moved his hand down, starting to finger her. He squinted as he felt Vaggie's blowjob starting to get the better of him and gave the blonde's boob a gentle bite which seemed to be the turning point where she arched herself and came, spraying Vaggie in the face.

After she was done, she laid on the bed panting, and sweaty. Her messy hair spread among the covers. Her spouses pulled away, believing that it was time for a small break. Ash looked at the three of his fingers, separating them to reveal the sticky sap left behind.

He was about to take it into his mouth before Vaggie grabbed his wrist and then started licking them herself. She lapped at each finger, getting as much as she could before she took all three into her mouth and sucked on them for whatever was left. She stared back at him with her eyes half closed, the sight and feeling was starting to make the man's already hard member get even harder.

Then he jolted as he looked down and saw his member in the hand of his other wife, who was giving him a sultry stare.

"Geez, you two are a handful." He sighed.

(...)

This time, Ash was the one on the bed, his vision obscured as the girls were on him. Vaggie was sitting on his face, Charlie just across her and riding his member with him holding her hips. He was again eating his angel wife's pussy while his demon wife bounced her hips on his, wrapping her tail around his waist, not wanting to let go.

"This is the best anniversary ever..." Charlie moaned.

"Yeah... yeah, I agree." Vaggie agreed with her, between her moans.

Ash wanted to say something but was unable to with his face covered. The taste of the angel's sap on his tongue each time he licked, the softness of her ass, and the tightness of his demon wife's cavern around his member felt more special tonight. Charlie always was the one who had a bigger bust, while Vaggie easily had the better thighs and even ass. Something he never said aloud, but part of him felt a little guilty since they wanted his opinions on their bodies earlier.

However, part of him had a small thought as he looked up, seeing the angel's second hole. A thought came to mind, and he removed his hands from the blonde's hips before grabbing onto Vaggie's asscheeks before moving her slightly, making her puzzled for a moment.

'What is he-' She started to think before gasping.

Ash started licking her butthole which caushed her to hunch forward while digging her nails into his chest that fortunately didn't break his skin. She panted as she felt his tongue circle around and lather it in his saliva, her body heat rising as she started to feel her arms becoming as weak as jelly, slowly shaking.

As he continued to lick while still thrusting his hips, Charlie continued moaning as her eyes rolled up for a moment before looking at her wife, whose face was blushing hard yellow. She smiled and reached forward, cupping her cheeks before pulling her into a kiss.

Vaggie melted into the kiss while putting a hand on the blonde's shoulder and her other up to her cheek over her wife's hand. Unfortunately, Ash couldn't see them, but he could hear them and was still eagerly licking, occasionally switching which hole he'd be licking while still focusing on keeping his hips moving with Charlie.

He could feel his end coming and was hoping they weren't lying about the protection spell, or at least that it wasn't faulty. He slowly started thrusting faster while keeping his tongue at the same pace, listening to the girls' moans and then hearing the flap of Vaggie's wings emerging, unable to see Charlie's horns come out.

The two stopped kissing, tongues pulling away from each other's mouths, saliva dripping from their chins as they panted with smiles before leaning their heads back and giving one big moan as all three of them came at the same time. The man did a few more thrusts as he was cumming before slowing to a stop as he climaxed while his wife's came on his face and crotch.

After a bit, Vaggie got off his head while Charlie got off his member. He felt a second wave of relief when he gasped for air, his hair being a mess and covered in sweat as he started to push himself up.

"Hoo, boy. That was..." He started to say before he saw Charlie with her horns out and her eyes changed while Vaggie hadn't retracted her wings and could see the lust-filled gazes on their faces, knowing what that meant. "Oh man, I should've seen this COMING!"

Charlie tackled him down and started furiously licking his face, licking up their wife's sap as Vaggie went to his member, licking the mixed ogasm of her spouses and even bobbing her head on it as the princess's tail wrapped around the base to jerk it off. At that moment, he knew he was gonna be in for a long night.

(... About two hours later)

Ash was on kneeling on the bed behind Vaggie, bucking his hips against her ass with his member in her asshole, the latter's wings fluttered while her entrance was dripping, as her face was in Charlie's crotch who was holding her head. The princess had lipstick stains smeared on her body, while her two lovers had the same thing except with some bite marks from her.

Vaggie was lost in her own world. Between her husband's member feeling like it'd tear her apart and the combination of both her lovers' liquid from her wife's entrance, it all felt too good to her. She could feel herself getting light-headed as she knew she wouldn't stay awake much longer.

Charlie felt like she was in Heaven, ironically. She was drunk on the pleasure and only wanted more. After putting their sexual activities on hold for so long when she learned of her pregnancy and waiting even longer so that she could care for her children, she'd been waiting for this day.

On the other hand, Ash was still holding up, still having energy to keep going. However, it was starting to take a toll on him. As much as he loved getting to have this moment after so long, the effects of the hot spring hadn't fully faded, and without much he had already released, he needed rest at some point.

"Oh god... fuuuuuck!" Charlie moaned loudly as she came in the angel's face.

Afterward, the blonde fell on the mattress, panting as her tail twitched somewhat. However, the other two hadn't stopped, not letting up.

Ash leaned over and hugged Vaggie as his hips moved faster. Her wings fluttered again before becoming stiff the longer it went on. It felt so good that she wished that she was on her back so that she could hug him or at least have a tail like Charlie that she could wrap around him. Anything to show more affection towards him at this time.

"Oh, shit... don't fucking stop." She moaned while cupping his cheek. "Please, don't stop."

The man only nodded as he didn't lose focus, keeping his hips while having a feeling that this wasn't gonna be the end. Eventually he groaned as he released his load into her ass. The woman moaned as he slowly gave her a few more thrusts before he became still, holding himself in her as he kept releasing.

He held himself there until he was done, sighing as he laid the angel down and leaned up. He grabbed her hips and slowly pulled out slowly. It took some time, especially since he didn't want to hurt her, it popping out which made her flinch, but... it was still hard.

(...)

One last time. Ash was laying on the bed, Charlie was on top of him, riding his member as he had his arm wrapped around her waist while her tail was wrapped around his arm as she was leaving hickies on whatever part of his skin she could. Vaggie was just beside him, arms around his neck and French kissing him while his arm was around her waist, hand down and fingering her entrance.

It was a miracle that he was still awake, but his fight with fatigue was slowly coming to an end. After this, he'd eventually take some much-needed rest.

After a second, Charlie pulled away, leaving another hickey before Ash pulled away from Vaggie. She then grabbed the angel's face and took over, kissing her in front of their husband. He leaned his head back as he kept bucking his hips while moving his fingers to keep the two of them pleased.

He could feel his final climax for the night coming up. He also figured that the two of them were getting close two as he could sense it now. As he watched his wives sloppily make out in front of him, it did turn him on, but he felt something else. Despite how exhausted they were gonna be at the end, it felt good that he got to do this again with them.

While not losing focus with his hands and his hips, he pulled them into a hug while smiling.

"I-I love you two so much." He said, hoping they could hear.

After that, the two partially separated as they all came at the same time. All one last time, sharing a loving moment between all three of them for the night.

And Lemon is over, okay. Hope y'all enjoyed... unless y'all skipped it.

"Phew, that was amazing. I missed doing this." Charlie said as she knelt up while brushing back her messy hair. "We really have to do this more often. Maybe we can try some different outfits-" She started to say before she looked down, and her eyes turned to normal.

Ash and Vaggie were both laying on the bed, passed out and panting, with their hair a mess and covered in sweat. She seemed dumbfounded at first before checking the time. It said 3:33 A.M.. She cringed as her tail and horns retracted.

"Okay, we've been up for a while. Maybe getting straight to this after the hot spring wasn't the best idea."

She sighed before looking back at the two. Despite the exhaustion, the two of them still seemed peaceful and cute when sleeping. Seeing there being a gap between them, she got a small idea and laid between them.

Then she pulled them against her, Vaggie on her right and Ash on her left. Almost on instinct, the other two wrapped their arms around her and pulled themselves closer to her face. She smiled, all giddy and blushing, before snuggling with them.

"I love you two." She sighed romantically. "As long as I have you, nothing could ever go wrong."

... poor choice of words.

(Next morning at the hotel)

"Heya, Whiskers." Cherri said as the cat rolled his eyes while petting Oshawatt before sitting down on the couch. "So, are blondie and her angel hoe like milfs now?"

Husk blinked while staring at her. "Who the fuck starts a conversation like that? I just sat down."

"I mean, I think it's a valid question." Angel says as the cat looks baffled.

"Just saying, they're moms and still hot as fuck, so technically that'd make them milfs." Cherri says.

"Well, I know some friends who'd say so. Would that also make Ash a dilf?" The spider demon asks.

"Ehh... how old is he again?"

"Eighteen."

"Holy fuck, that's young. But uh... nah, he's gotta be older than that."

"I'd say so. He's clearly hung."

"Ya know, maybe you're right."

"Is this seriously the first thing we're talking about this morning?" Husk says in annoyance.

"Hey, don't blame us for being curious." Angel says.

"Yeah, surprised ya ain't drunk this time." Cherri says before turning to her friend. "By the way, is he really hung?"

"Well, I haven't seen it. But from what I heard when they first fucked-"

"Ugh, my god. I miss having the snake here more than I thought." Husk sighed in annoyance before one of his ears twitched, and he perked up. "The fuck is that?"

"Is what?" Angel asked before they heard a muffled crowd outside.

He got up and walked to the door before looking through the window, and then his eyes widened.

"Oh shit. Husk! Get Charlie on the fucking phone!"

Outside was a crowd of news reporters and other people wanting to get into the hotel. As they were all piled up and climbing over each other, one sinner snuck around them. A small demon with fins, an antenna with a light at the end, and goggles who decided to get in more easily and sneakily.

(Elsewhere)

"Boring, boring, boring..." Someone says as he was scrolling through his phone. "Boring shit again, and even more bor-" He stopped scrolling before pulling back up and seeing the news. "Human fights with the Hazbin Hotel against the Extermination and... what?"

He tapped the article and read it, scrolling through the boring things that he couldn't care less about. There was something about a random cyclops killing Adam that intrigued him. But what caught his eye was seeing the new hotel, then seeing footage that he paused at a certain point. That point was Charlie hugging Ash.

Part of him was shocked, but something made him interested. He smirked before taking a deep breath.

"Oh, dear sister!" He called in a mocking tone.

"What is it, jackoff!?" A female voice called back.

"You remember your old friend, Charlie?"

"Fuck that bitch! What about her!?"

"Well, he he..." He then smiles widely. "I think it'd be a nice time to ask ma and pa about planning a visit."

To be continued..

Chapter Text

Heya, ya all know the drill, but I just wanted to say something real quick. So, there’s this user who’s pretty much trolling my other story, leaving disgusting comments behind, one calling Ash an… not gonna repeat it here.

But you know the ironic part? He left a review saying harems are for losers who can’t get dates, but ya know, that’s really funny coming from a guy who posted a Percy Jackson x Harem story. Strange, isn’t it?

… *sigh* the one time I wished Tai was here.

Mandatory thanks to Lord Ashwood the 42nd, you know the drill.

(Lavaridge Town)

Ash was the first to wake up that morning. His vision was blurry at first, clearing up almost immediately with a few blinks. At first, it seemed dark to him, but it was just because the curtains were closed from last night.

With a small headshake, he leaned up as much as he could without moving his arms too much. He was lying in bed next to Charlie, who had one arm around his torso and her other arm around Vaggie, who was on the other side of her. Both of them had disheveled, sprawled hair, were covered in smeared lipstick marks, the former had a few hickies, while the latter had bite marks on her body.

He blinked again before checking his own body. He could feel that his hair was just as messy, and his body was not much different. What with the kiss marks, hickies, lovebites, he wasn’t too surprised. He remembered all that had happened last night. He wasn’t ashamed to say that it wasn’t good, but he only felt shame for something else.

‘Yeesh, I’m not usually the first to pass out.’ He thinks to himself before looking at the hand that wasn’t trapped under either of his wives, emitting a faint blue glow. ‘My body and aura still haven’t fully recovered after fighting Adam. Did I really overdo it that much?’

As he looked at the rings on the dresser, then looked at his wives. Even as messy as they were, he couldn’t help but smile at them. After all that’s happened, he still couldn’t believe how much his life had changed. It was all still new to him, and yet, he didn’t mind one bit.

After that thought, he looked back at his hand and then waved off the glow. He didn’t want to focus on that for that morning.

‘I can worry about training some other time. Not important right now.’ He thinks before reaching over to embrace both women. ‘They are more important to me, now.’ As he did, he noticed the blonde stirring and waking up. ‘Speaking of…’ He thought as her eyes opened. “Good morning, beautiful.”

“Mmm, morning, sweetheart.” Charlie says with a smile before turning to do the same for their wife, but finds that she is still asleep. “Huh, I’m not the last one to wake up this time.”

“I don’t think it’s that rare for you to wake up a little earlier.” Ash says. “She must just be more exhausted.”

“Don’t blame her. You were a beast last night.” The blonde chuckled before sighing. “Honestly, I’ve missed moments like this and feel so good being able to do that again. It has been too long.”

“Has it? Don’t think it’s been that long.”

“Well, it has. To me, at least.”

He nodded to that. Ever since she and Vaggie found out about their pregnancies, they had put off having sex out of precaution. And after that, they still didn’t do much sexual activity, having become parents and not having much time to themselves. That and they didn’t want to influence their children, even if they were too young to understand.

“Honestly, I did miss having sex.” Charlie says.

“Is it that important?” Ash asks.

At first, she opened her mouth to say something, but then stopped and thought for a moment. “I mean, well…” She struggled briefly to come up with the words. “It is in a way. It’s kinda like… my love language, you know?”

“... what does that mean?” Ash asks, confused.

She looked surprised before snorting, struggling to contain her laughter. “God, you are too precious.” She says while her husband raised an eyebrow. “Ya know, I can get into that fully later, but… mine is physical and usually through words.”

“... Oh…” The man says, slowly realizing. “Oh, love lang-Oh, my Arceus, how did I not…?” He groaned. “How did I not get that? I’m so dumb.”

“Hey, hey, don’t you dare call yourself dumb. You’re just still learning, is all.”

“Yeah, yeah. Okay.”

He checked the time. 7:15. It still was a little early to get up, and Vaggie was still asleep. He didn’t feel like moving either, and he was sure that Charlie wasn’t willing to ruin the position they were currently in. While there, Ash started to think about what his wife said about love languages and wondered what his own could be.

Although, that thought was pushed to the back of his mind for another.

“Hey, Charlie, I’ve been meaning to ask this for a while now, but…” He says, catching her attention. “Are you alright with the way we’re living right now?”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean like, going between Hell and my world. Are you really okay with the constant back and forth?”

“Not at all.” She smiles before pulling him down to kiss his cheek. “I don't mind at all because we're together. We could be out in the woods camping, or in a magnificent palace, or anywhere in the world, and I still would say the same as long as I have you two and our kids together with me. I know it will take some time to get used to it, but I think that is something I can live with."

Ash looked at her, and he couldn't help but love her unending optimism as it filled him with a sense of ease. He smiled before pulling her into a deep and passionate kiss. Vaggie seemed to sense the optimism in her sleep and smiled as she pulled them closer to her, making them break the kiss and look at her. They looked at each other and shared a small, quiet laugh.

“She’s cute, she’s sleeping like this.” Charlie says while rubbing the back of her head.

Ash didn’t say anything, pulling them closer before a thought came to his mind. He moved one of his arms before touching the blonde’s hip, making her jump slightly before he moved his hand to her stomach and rubbed it, making her twitch, especially since he was close to her crotch.

“Ash, I didn’t think you’d be this bold.” Charlie says.

“Well, I mean, you girls always like to tease me. I figured I might as well try doing the teasing myself.” He says with a sly smirk.

He then moved his hand further down her crotch, making her gasp as he reached her front door. She bit her lip while looking at him with a lustful smile. Her tail emerged and wrapped around his torso before mimicking what his hand was doing, moving down his crotch. He looked at her, seeing her eyes turn to their demon side, and he knew what she wanted.

However, just as they were getting in the mood… they heard a ringing: Charlie’s ringtone. The ringing was able to wake up Vaggie as she groggily woke up. The blonde groaned at the moment being ruined before looking at her spouses, tail gone and eyes now normal.

“I’m sorry, I need to get that.” She says.

“Don’t worry, go ahead.” Ash says while kissing her cheek.

He then moved so that she could get up, leaving him in the bed with their other spouse as she went to the dresser where their clothes were.

“Do you need help?”

“No, no, it’s fine.” Charlie insisted as she dug through the clothes.

“This is… an interesting way to wake up.” Vaggie says while rubbing her eye.

“Don’t worry.” Ash says before pulling her against his chest. “Just get some more rest.”

“Alright.” She accepted it and closed her one eye again before kissing his chin. “What you did last night was amazing.”

“Good to know I haven’t lost it.”

“Got it.” Charlie says before checking. “Husk? What could he need?” She says before turning to the other two. “Sorry, I should take this.”

“Alright, we’ll be here.” Ash tells her before lying back as the blonde heads for the door.

“Don’t rush.” Vaggie says before turning up at her husband. “Hey, can I make a selfish request?”

“Yeah, sure.”

“Okay, give me your lips.”

Before he could say anything, she grabbed his head and mashed her lips against his. He was thrown off for a second, but soon melted into the kiss and returned it. And the two continued to have a passionate make-out while their wife got a little jealous, but smiled with the thought of joining them in a second as she answered the phone and opened the door.

“Hell-”

“WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU!?” Husk’s voice rang out so loud that she nearly dropped the phone, Ash and Vaggie breaking their kiss, now being fully away as they heard his voice without it being on speaker.

“Fuck!” Charlie says while covering her ear.

“Charlie, dear god, you finally fucking answered your fucking phone.”

“Okay, Husk, no need to…” Charlie says before raising a brow. “W-What is all that noise?”

“The fucking crowd outside! It’s getting-” Husk started to say before his voice got cut off as the three looked shocked.

“PAPARAZZI AT THE FUCKING DOOR! GET OVER HERE!” Angel shouts into the phone.

Then the phone hung up as the three looked shocked by what they saw. They took a moment, still as statues, brains still registering what they had just heard.

“... We need to go.” Charlie says before going back to pick up her clothes.

“Right/Got it.” Ash and Vaggie say as they both get up as well.

(Elsewhere)

The Morningstar siblings were in awe at the sight before them. Their father was sitting on the couch, snoring away as he was covered by his grandchildren. Riolu was curled up sleeping on top of his eyes, Pikachu in his lap, wrapped in Aurora’s arms, Keekee was snuggled next to Levi, who was in his grandfather’s arms, along with Aaron was snoozing with his halo in his mouth.

“Oh, if only sis were here to see this.” Charles cooed.

“Should we really leave them like this?” Connor asks.

“Don’t ruin this.” Cecilia says as she gets ready to take a picture. “And…”

“Did you remember to turn off the flash and shudder?”

“It’s off. Shut up. And…” She took a picture… then moved to get a different angle, then again.

“Okay, you got one. Quit it.” Connor says in annoyance.

“I just need the right-”

*FLASH!*

“We need to go!” Charlie yells before covering her mouth.

“AGH!” Lucifer flung his head up as Riolu went into the air before landing on the cushion. “Wha…? Charlie? You’re back already?”

“No, time! We have to get ready.” Charlie says quietly, not wanting to wake the kids. “We can’t stay long. I’m sorry.” She says while dragging her wife away.

“Something came up at the hotel.” Vaggie says while keeping up. “We need to go back.”

“Wha? Wait, hold on, this is happening now?” Cecilia asks, thrown off.

“Yeah, we had to rush back here after that happened and…” Ash says before looking at Lucifer, who had his sleeping kids. “Looks like things are going well here.”

“Yeah, and…” Charles says before looking at the state of his brother-in-law. “Looks like you had fun.”

“Huh? Oh, uh…” He says while trying to fix his appearance. “Sorry, we got a warning and didn’t think we had enough time to… ya know.”

“Okay, I’m sorry we couldn’t stay much longer, but we need to go.” Charlie says as she creates a summoning circle below her. “Ash, take care of the kids with-”

“Uh, Charlie.” Vaggie says, making her stop.

“What?”

“... neck.” She says while pointing.

“Wha…” The blonde says before feeling around.

“Not just her.” Cecilia says before approaching with a mirror. “You both look like trash.”

She then showed them. Not only were their hair barely even fixed, but Charlie had two very noticeable hickies above her uniform collar, and the status of Vaggie’s body was very much visible with the fact that her uniform showed more skin.

“... Sister…” Charie says before getting on her knees and grabbing her sister’s dress. “HELP US!”

“Okay, okay! Come on.” Cecilia says before leading them away. “Haven’t done your makeup in forever, but here goes nothing.”

“Alright, so uh… why aren’t you going with them?” Connor asked Ash.

“Firstly, I don’t wanna draw anymore attention. With people knowing I’m human, the last thing we need is more showing up and having them cause more problems.” The human man explained.

“I mean, he kinda does have a point.” Charles says.

“Also, because Charlie wants the kids to wake up to at least one of their parents being here. That and she didn’t want you to stress out anymore than you already have.”

“That’s Charlie for you.” Connor says before looking at his brother-in-law. “Are you sure you want the little tykes seeing you like that?”

“Trust me, this isn’t the worst they’ve seen me right now.”

The girls then returned, Charlie and Vaggie wearing their hotel uniforms. The makeup seemed to have done the job, and they looked normal, as if they hadn’t woken up after having a steamy night.

“Okay, all done. How do I look? Vaggie? Ash? Dad? Do I look clean?” Charlie asks while looking at them.

“You look clean, babe.” Vaggie tells her.

“You two look good.” Ash tells her.

“Great as usual, sweetie.” Lucifer says with a thumbs up.

“Pikachu? Riolu?” Charlie then asks them.

“Pikachu.” Pikachu gave a thumbs-up.

“Arf.” Riolu says while nodding.

“Brothers? Sister?” She asked the last three.

“You’re fine, Charlie.” Connor tells her calmly.

“Yeah, you’re A-Okay.” Charles says with a thumbs-up.

“Trust me, you’ve got nothing to worry about. I did my best, and you look good.” Cecilia tells her.

“Okay, good.” Charlie then goes over to the sleeping babies. “I’m sorry, we couldn’t stay longer. I promise we’ll be back.”

“Don’t worry. Daddy and grandpa will take care of you until we get back.” Vaggie says while lightly brushing the children’s heads.

“Uh, so we’re just chopped liver?” Connor asks.

“Wha-uh… N-No, I-” She stuttered. “I obviously meant that-”

“Calm down, I was just joking.” He says with his hands up.

“Forget that. Ash, everyone else, watch the kids, and take care of the kids.” Charlie says as she went over and kissed her husband, then created a summoning circle. “Again, sorry we couldn’t stay longer. BYE!”

“Take care!” Ash said before her and Vaggie disappeared, then he sighed before looking at his still sleeping triplets. “Okay, not so bad.”

*PBBBBT!*

And just like that, Aurora woke up and then slowly began crying loudly, which in turn woke up Levi. Levi then started quietly crying, both sobs surprisingly not waking up Aaron, who was still nibbling on his halo.

“Here we go again.” Lucifer says.

Ash sighed before looking at the others. Connor groaned while covering his face. Charles looked nervous, but quickly straightened up in view of his brother-in-law. Cecilia had a forced smile as one of her eyes twitched. They didn’t need to ask.

He just sighed while smiling. “Alright.”

(At the hotel)

The muffled voices of a distant crowd echoed through the empty hall as Niffty was sweeping the floor, humming away without a care in the world. Then, in a flash, Charlie and Vaggie appeared in the hall.

“Aw, I just finished sweeping there!” The little gremlin complained.

“Sorry, Niffty.” Charlie said as the duo ran to the front of the hotel.

“Oh wait, hold on.” Vaggie says, stopping her in the lobby. “Just…” She then adjusted her wife’s bowtie while readjusting her suit jacket. “Okay, good to go.”

“Wait, wait.” Charlie then stops her as well before looking at the bow on her head, then adjusts it before crouching to straighten out her skirt and tuck in her shirt. “Okay, good to go.”

As they arrived at the door, they heard the muffled crowd get louder and got nervous.

“Not liking how this is sounding so far.” Vaggie says.

“I’m sure it’s not that bad.” Charlie says as she opens the door.

“IT’S FUCKING BAD!” Angel screams as he, Cherri, and Husk are trying to hold off the crowd.

The duo cringed, looking back and forth between each other and the crowd. Then inhaled before stepping back.

“Okay, let them in.”

Bad move. Everyone burst inside.

(Meanwhile)

“And… there we go. All clean now.” Ash says before picking up his giggling daughter. “Yeah, you’re just happy to see daddy, ain’t ya, sweetie.” He says before nuzzling their noses as she giggles more.

“I…” Cecilia says before looking up at the ceiling as the man was bouncing his daughter up and down. “I don’t get it. Every time one of us changes her, she blows a hole in the ceiling, but when ‘he’ changes her, she… doesn’t.”

“I mean, maybe cause she’s with her dad or something?” Charles says.

“Oh no, she’s definitely put some holes in our home’s ceiling. But ya know, uh… apart from the repair bills, it’s really not a big deal.” Ash chuckles before Aaron pops up on his shoulder and tries to eat his vest. “Aaron, get down from there.” He says as he turns to grab him, not noticing Levi clinging to his back.

“So, just a question, we’re not gonna be expecting any more anytime soon, right?” Connor asks.

“They’re not pregnant again, Connor.” Ash tells him before realizing something on his back and reaches back to pull his oldest kid into his arms as Aurora climbs up his shoulder. “We made sure to play it safe this time.” He reached for his daughter again, letting Aaron climb around his abdomen to his back. “We jus-” He tried to reach for him, but he managed to climb into his dad’s head as Levi climbed onto his other shoulder. “We don’t think it’s a good time.”

“Yeah, that’s probably a good thing.” Lucifer says while stretching as the Pokémon climbs onto his shoulders with Keekee on his head. “Especially considering the shit with Heaven.”

“Oh, right, I forgot to ask-” Ash says as he walks over and hands Aaron to him, then reaches for Aurora, who climbed over his head and down his back, not getting her in time. “How did they react to the whole… ya know…” He says as he struggles to get hold of two of his kids. “What happened in the Extermination and stuff?”

“Actually, I haven’t been contacted at all on the matter.” Lucifer says as Aaron starts tugging at Pikachu’s ear. “And as much as I don’t want to talk to Sera after what Adam did, I tried to contact them, but they won’t answer my calls.”

“Still?” Ash asks in confusion as he finally gets hold of his son and daughter. “I figured they’d be angry at us for… ya know.”

“I thought that, too. But no, they’ve just… what’s the term?” Lucifer turned to Cecilia.

“Dodging your calls?” She answers.

“Yeah, that.”

Ash only sighed. So far, he wasn’t a fan of this world’s version of Heaven. Emily and Phin seemed to be the only good ones he got along with. However, as he thought back to what happened in the courtroom, during the singing, it seemed that the other angels were in shock after learning about the Extermination.

“Least they didn’t send an army at our doors like the one Charlie is dealing with right now.” Connor says.

“... Ya know, now that you mention it, I don’t get what that’s about.” Ash says as Aurora starts trying to eat her hoof. “Why this is happening now.”

“I mean, it’s obvious why they’re here. Because-” Lucifer starts.

“No, I know why they’re at the hotel. It’s just that… why are they doing this after months of nothing happening?”

To that, Lucifer was about to say something, but held his tongue. He didn’t have an answer to that as he didn’t know why either.

(Meanwhile, at the hotel)

“Okay! Okay! Everyone, calm down! Please!” Charlie yells, trying to corral the crowd and push them back. “Just get back into-Oh, forget it!”

Not having as much patience as she normally would’ve had, she used her magic to push them all back. It kept them at bay, giving her a second to take a breather.

“Oh, this is worse than I thought it would be.” She says before kneeling and reaching to her wife. “You okay, Vaggie?”

“I’ve been through worse.” Vaggie says while taking her hand and being helped up.

“Oh yeah, I’m totally fine too.” Angel says sarcastically.

“Bloody fuckers, lucky I didn’t blow their blood across the wall.” Cherri says while dusting herself off.

“Yeah, so much for a peaceful morning.” Vaggie complained.

“Okay. Everyone-” Charlie says as she turned to the still rowdy crowd. “-please calm down, I’ll-” She could hardly get a word out with everyone talking over each other. “-e-everyone please… every… one at a…” She sputtered before she looked angry, then she shouted. “SHUT UP!!!”

Her voice echoed as she turned into her demon form while emitting a burst of fire from her body. That seemed to do the trick as everyone immediately quieted down and calmed down. Seeing this, she huffed and puffed for a second with her hair flaring up like flames.

Then she turned back to the other residents, who looked startled by her sudden outburst. She looked worried before turning back to normal quickly.

“Sorry.” She says quietly.

“No, no, it’s okay.” Vaggie says before taking her hand. “You can do this, babe. Just do your best. I’m here when you need me.”

“Okay, thank you.” She says while kissing her on the cheek before turning to the crowd. “I can do this.” She then walked up to them.

“This is gonna be good.” Cherri says sarcastically.

“Look, everyone, I can answer… most of your questions, but if I’m to do that, I’m gonna have to ask that you stay calm and keep your distances. Okay?” She asks before lowering the magic. “Now, what is it you wanted to ask?”

… five seconds later, the crowd started talking over each other again, and she looked annoyed.

“OKAY!” She shouted, less harsh this time and not turning into her demon form, making them quiet again. “Let’s uh… let’s start with… how about we start with questions from the left and then move to the right? Can we do that? Okay. Now, go on.”

“What happened during the fight with the Extermination!?” One demon with a camera asked.

“Well-” Charlie started with a smile.

“If your hotel is to rehabilitate Sinners-” Another demon with a nasally tone and microphone interrupted her. “-why is it that Heaven attacked the hotel and not anywhere else in Hell like the previous ones?”

“Well-” Charlie started to say again.

“Should we be worried about the fact that the clock tower has been at zero for the past few months?” Another interrupts, which makes her grit her teeth.

“Should we not fear that Heaven might retaliate, considering Adam died during the last Extermination!?” Another asks.

“If Lucifer had to get involved, does that mean we’re at risk of dying next time!?”

“Where was the human that was last seen helping the hotel?!”

And just like that, the crowd went back to talking over each other. Instead of yelling, however, Charlie held her hand up, stopping them once more. She took a deep breath before turning back to them.

“I understand your concerns about the Extermination, and they are all valid concerns. But, I am here to tell you that there is no need to worry… right now anyway.” She says before scratching the back of her head. “For starters, the whole thing with Heaven possibly retaliating, but as of now, the usual date of the Extermination has passed, and there has been no attack from Heaven as such.”

“So, is this Extermination cancelled then?” One asked.

“Yes. Like I said, if this year’s Extermination was still on, we would’ve had it at the beginning of this year. So-”

“WOO! FUCK YEAH!” The demon says before he jumps over the crowd, then starts running while shouting. “I live to have sex another YEAR!” His last words echoed as everyone stared.

“... Right, uh…” Charlie cleared her throat, getting everyone’s attention. “On the subject of rehabilitation, unfortunately, it seems that Heaven is not willing to accept any form of redemption.” She stopped them before they interrupted. “So, instead of focusing on helping people into Heaven, we are instead gonna be focusing on improving behaviors just for the better of Hell.”

“Wait, so what about the overpopulation of Hell, then? If the Exterminations aren’t gonna be going on, and we can’t get into Heaven, how do you plan to deal with that?”

“Why the fuck are all y’all asking this shit now!?” Angel shouted over.

“I… I’m still working on how to deal with that, but for now, we have nothing to worry about.” Charlie says while giving her signature smile. “But if we ever do get an update on the situation with Heaven-” She starts to say as demons in the back start grunting and making annoyed noises. “-then we shall tell-”

“Get the fuck out of the way!” A familiar voice caught her attention as she looked into the crowd. “Move, bitch!”

“Oh fuck.” Charlie says as her smile drops.

“You’ve gotta be kidding me.” Vaggie groaned.

“I’m more important than you!” And there, a familiar blonde pushed herself to the front of the crowd as the last person Charlie wanted to see right now forced herself to be in the front. “Tom! Get the fuck over here!” She then yells back as a familiar gas mask-wearing man pops out of the crowd with a camera that has Channel 666 News’ logo on it. “Good. Now pick up the fucking slack.” She says before continuing, strutting over to the princess.

“Dear god-” Charlie quietly groaned before forcing a smile. “-h-hi, Katie. So good to see you again.” She says sarcastically before laughing nervously.

“Ah, so you remember me. Well, it’s nice to meet you, Charlotte.” Katie says in an overly condescending tone.

“Charlie.”

“Yeah, whatever. Anyway-” Katie brushed her off so fast, making her grit her teeth. “It’s time to bring in some real news that we all actually want to know. What is the whereabouts of the supposed human that has been mysteriously popping in and out of Hell?” She then asks while shoving a microphone in her face.

“I-I… uh…” Charlie started stuttering.

“Okay, let me remind you.” Katie says while turning to look at the camera. “It has been a total of nine months since the last Extermination commenced and was cancelled, of which is also the time when the-” She then took out a piece of paper and read it. “-sexy and super powered human-” She then tossed the paper away. “Defended the hotel and all of Hell.”

“Yeah, I think we all know-”

“And the press has been dying to know-” Katie cut her off again, only making her even more annoyed. “What is your relationship with this human?”

Charlie was thrown off guard again by the question. “W-What do you mean by that?”

“Oh, it’s just a simple question, princess.” The bitch says in a more condescending tone once more. “Shouldn’t be that hard to answer. Is he perhaps a soul under contract with you? Is he a fugitive of Heaven in disguise?”

“If you’d let me talk-”

“And the most asked question, is he your boy toy?”

“... what did you say?” Charlie asks as both she and Vaggie stare blankly at the camera.

“Oh, I believe you heard me… bitch.” Katie says the last word under her breath.

“Oh shit.” Angel says, scared.

“She’s fucking dead.” Husk says in the same manner.

“Look, it’s not that hard. The press just wants to know the truth. They say, and I quote, ‘No way you have a hottie in this hotel and haven’t fucked him once’.” Katie says.

“Do they?” Charlie says while narrowing her eyes.

“Hey, I can’t help if they want the juicy details. I mean, I personally wouldn’t be surprised a gay like you wouldn’t touch that little bastard.” Katie kept going as Charlie’s hair started flying up, causing the crowd to look worried. “And knowing you, he’s probably a limp dick gay himself.”

“Oh, I am going to KILL HER!” Vaggie says while drawing her spear, as her bow took the shape of horns.

“No, no, she’s not worth it!” Angel says as he, Husk, and Cherri struggle to hold her back.

“How does it feel to know your little bitch boy couldn’t bother to show his ass up himself and needs a pathetic little girl like you to do his work?” Katie kept going as the princess’s eyes glowed bright, and she got enveloped in flames.

“Katie, as your coworker and guy who understands the shit your mouth is getting us into, shut the fuck up!” Tom shouts at her, scared out of his mind.

“Oh, quit being a little bitch, Tom.” Katie says while making the mistake of turning away. “Little Miss Goodie Gay Bitch is ‘too sweet’ to-GAH!” She started to smugly say before Charlie’s hand changed to black as she grabbed her, fully around the neck with it.

(Meanwhile)

Ash, now cleaned up, was making airplane noises with his lips as he fed Levi, who was in his high chair, a spoonful of porridge.

“And the plane has successfully landed.” Ash says before laughing, then sees his son shift around a bit. “Okay.” He says as he picks up the little angel and starts patting his back while humming a tune. “~Top, top, bottom, bottom, middle, mi-”

*BOOM!*

He jumped at the echoing explosion that was followed by screaming. Startled, he looked out the window, seeing a distant explosion from the hotel and something flying out right over Pentagram city and landing on the outskirts. He looked with wide eyes as Lucifer, along with Pikachu, scooted in frame with the same expression.

“... Oh, dear Arceus.” He says to himself… before Levi burps.

(Back at the hotel)

The crowd all stared at the still-smoking hole, all wide-eyed and looking scared. Angel, Husk, and Cherri were stunned at the sight while Vaggie was also shocked, but also felt proud.

Seeing this, the crowd slowly looked back at Charlie, who stood silently as her hair was still flying up and her horns were still out. However, as she saw how everyone was looking at her, she slowly calmed down as her hair went back to normal and her horns disappeared. She then brushed her hair back while taking a deep breath before exhaling. 

“I am so sorry you all had to see that. That was highly unprofessional of me, and I assure you, you will not have to worry about me harming any of you.” She says in a sincere tone before turning stern. “But on another note, I will not be accepting questions filled with insults or anything degrading from here on. Understand!”

Everyone in the crowd then started talking over each other again, this time saying ‘yes’ or something similar to it while nodding. This time, they quieted down quickly, much to her relief.

“Uh… M-Ms. Morningstar… your highness…” Tom says while shakily raising his free hand.

“Yes, Mr. Trench?” Charlie asks politely.

“Uh, f-firstly, I apologize on Katie’s behalf, and second of all… we do genuinely want to know what your relationship with the human is. Like why he would go from attacking the Vee Tower to fighting the Extermination with you.”

She hesitated for a moment, not having quite the right words. Taking a moment to think things over, she straightens up and places a hand over her chest.

“Firstly, let’s stop calling him ‘the human’ cause he has a name. It’s Ash. He is… simply helping with the operations of and running the hotel. As a matter of fact, he has also attempted to help in my plan for redemption.”

“If that’s the case, then why did he attack the Vees?” Someone cut in.

“Okay, firstly, he actually wasn’t the one who started the attack. He was kidnapped, which led to him fighting back, so it was technically self-defense. Even after all that, though, he still fought against Adam and the angelic army to protect all of you and give you a chance at redemption. He believes that at least some of you deserve a second chance like I do, and he was willing to put his life on the line for your sakes.”

The crowd didn’t say anything, looking at each other before looking back at her. Tom still looked a little annoyed, but kept it hidden, fearing her wrath.

“Look, I know getting into Heaven is probably not gonna happen, especially now. But regardless, you are still my people, and while I don’t believe that you all could be good people, I’m sure there must be at least… maybe a few people who do wanna better themselves for… whatever reason.”

Hearing that, a majority of the crowd just rolled their eyes, including Tom himself. Although in the back, one seemed to hear her words, and seemed to be the only one thinking about what she said.

“Look, if you don’t have anything else to ask me, I must politely ask that you leave. We have some work to get done today, and…” Charlie says before looking up, then waving her hand, fixing the hole in the wall with magic. “I think we’ve spent enough time answering questions.”

“W-Wait, hold on, you haven’t told us where the human is.”

“Well, he is on Earth, at home, doing his own thing and… If we need him again, he will be down here to join us. Until now, thank you, and goodbye.” She says before using her magic to push them out.

The crowd started talking over each other, but the moment the doors closed, they all finally shut up. With that, she took a deep breath and let out a heavy sigh before turning to the others.

“Well, that’s all taken care of now.” Charlie says, chuckling.

“Yeah, add to the list of times that wall’s been blown up.” Angel says while looking up.

Vaggie then ran up and picked Charlie up in a hug. “I am so proud of you, Charlie.” She says before putting her down. “I am so glad you were able to take charge, use your magic, and not be forceful or aggressive.”

“She technically got aggressive earlier.” Husk says.

“Because that bitch deserved worse .” Vaggie says while errily glaring back at him before turning back to Charlie. “But you were able to control yourself, and I am proud of you for that.”

“Thank you, Vaggie. Thank you… ” Charlie says before sighing as she starts to fall over, before her wife catches her, then picks her up.

“Okay, okay.” She says before taking her over to the couch and laying her down on it.

“Ugh, I knew that bitch would stoop low, but I just… She doesn’t know Ash.” The blonde hissed through her teeth. “Next time I see her, I’m not holding back.”

“That was her holding back?” Cherri asked.

“If she wasn’t, that bitch wouldn’t be alive right now.” Angel tells her.

“Don’t think too hard about what she said. Just get some rest and we’ll figure out what to do later…” Vaggie stopped as she heard snoring.

Charlie had already passed out moments after touching the cushions of the couch. Vaggie only smiled before kissing her on the head, then falling onto an open spot on the couch, flopping back and groaning as well.

“What are you acting exhausted for? Charlie, I get it, but why you?” Angel asks, not in a snooty tone, but out of curiosity.

“We’re just… we only just got up and then had to rush over here to deal with this shit. We haven’t exactly had time to-” Vaggie started to say before a flash appeared in the hall.

“Charlie! Vaggie!” Ash yelled while running down the stairs.

“Charlie!” Lucifer yelled, not far behind.

“Wha-Ash, I didn’t say it was safe to come here.” Vaggie says, shocked.

“We saw an explosion at the hotel and… uh…” Ash says before looking around with Pikachu. “It is… surprisingly not a warzone like I expected.”

“What was that explosion earlier?” Lucifer asked.

“Why don’t you ask your daughter?” Husk says while pointing at the unconscious princess.

“Charlie!” Ash says as he goes and kneels next to her, as Riolu climbs up onto her, checking her as well. “Is she okay?”

“Yeah, she’s just exhausted. The stress of dealing with the crowd was really getting to her.” Vaggie says before petting the blonde’s head. “She actually stood up for herself today.”

“Oh, she did?” Lucifer asked before going over and kneeling next to his daughter. “Oh, that’s my baby girl. All grown up and handling things on her own.” He gushed.

“It’s good to hear she’s not hurt.” Ash says while rubbing her head before kissing it. “Proud of you, dear.”

Having been kissed by both her lovers, Charlie smiled in while still asleep. That brought smiles to the other two’s faces.

“I mean, at least she got rid of those guys. Was worried you three’d be too busy fucking each other to come over.” Angel says jokingly.

Vaggie just rolled her eyes, not acknowledging Angel’s joke. Just lying back. Ash saw and came up with an idea.

“Hey, how about we go upstairs? Maybe we can catch up on sleep in our room here.” He asks.

“Ya know what…” She paused for a moment, then nodded before getting up. “Yeah, I think I’m up for that.” She then picked up Charlie in a bridal position.

“Wait, let me.” Ash says, stopping her.

“I’d like that, Ash. But I don’t think-Woah!”

She was caught off guard as Ash had picked her up in the same pose, his arms wrapping around their backs and legs, inevitably bringing them closer to his head.

“It’s nothing I can’t handle.” He tells them with a smile as Vaggie clung to him.

“Jeez, a little warning next time would’ve been nice.” She tells him. “Not that I mind.”

“Sorry. Just relax. I got you.”

Charlie didn’t seem to mind as she leaned in and hugged him while still smiling and sleeping. Ash just chuckled before he walked up the stairs with the two in his arms. Vaggie was still thrown off a bit, but being carried by her handsome husband and seeing her pretty wife’s face, she smiled before leaning down and wrapping her arms around his shoulders.

Lucifer watched, softly smiling at first, but then looking sad before taking a sharp inhale as he stood up and looked away.

“Lucky them.” Cherri scoffed.

“Hey, come on, bitch. Don’t get all jealous.” Angel tells her jokingly.

“I’m not fucking jealous.” Cherri says with a bit of aggression.

“Aight, jeez. Don’t get upset.” He tells her defensively.

“Alright, uh…” Lucifer says, trying to think of a distraction for himself. “Pancakes? Anyone?”

“Fuck yeah, I’m down.” Angel said as they started walking to the kitchen.

“I’m gonna get some booze while we’re at it.” Husk says.

“Does that shit even taste good?”

“Fuck off, it feels good.”

Cherri chuckled for a moment before stopping. She looked over at the painting put up in memory of Sir Pentious, seeing the only one of his eggs that survived the Extermination sitting in front of it. She sighed before going up to it and patting its head.

“Still miss him?” She asked.

“Yes.” The egg says in a soft tone, different from his normally annoying tone, sniffling. “I’m never gonna be able to clean his headquarters again.”

“I know, bud. I know.” She says before picking him up. “Come on, we’re having breakfast.”

“Okay.”

As she walked away, she looked back at the painting of Pentious. She may have found the boy hot, annoyed that those two were the ones he went with instead of her, and maybe she hadn’t spent that much time with that snake, but in that short amount of time, she felt something that she didn’t feel around that boy.

It kinda made her even more envious of Ash’s relationship with the girls, but what could she do? Shaking her head, she started making her way back to the kitchen.

(Meanwhile)

We go over to one of the hallways with a family portrait of the Morningstar family at the end. It shook before it suddenly flipped like a door, revealing a hall where we see the small demon with fins, an antenna with a light at the end, and glasses looking around while humming.

“Doesn’t seem to be any signs of the human here, either.” He says to himself before pulling the portrait back in place, disappearing.

In another room, he opened another portrait, revealing a hole with the fish demon before he realized he was in what must’ve been the master bedroom or something. He was above the frame of a canopy bed, and that made him smile widely.

He climbed down from the hole, his eyes darting back and forth before he checked under the sheets, using the light from his antenna to look around, only to drop it in disappointment. Then he checked the pillows, at first finding nothing. He scoffed and was about to leave before he found something.

“Ah ha!” He says before taking out tweezers.

Using them, he carefully reached down and pulled out a single lock of jet black hair before examining it. None of the residents had black hair other than Pentious, but it couldn’t be his as he obviously wasn’t there. Alastor had some on his tips, but the lock was too long. And it couldn’t be Husks’ fur because it would’ve been everywhere. So in conclusion, the human was there.

“Hehe, I knew it. As always, I’m never wrong.” He says while putting the lock in a ziplock before humming to himself. “Gotta say, these holes to all these different rooms of the hotel are oddly convenient.”

“I know, makes it easier to get around.”

“Yeah, ya don’t say-”

He stopped before turning to the source of the noise. There was Niffty, hanging in the hole of the wall he just came from with a bright smile as if nothing was wrong.

“Hello.” She says while waving.

“... AHH-!”

To be continued…

And this chapter is finally done… anyway, it’s good to finally have updated one of my stories after a while. Next chapter we’re gonna get into Heaven and how things are going up there, and hey, maybe Tai will be there next time… if he’s not busy making art.

Anyway, I’ll see you guys next time. Thank you for reading.

Chapter Text

(???)

Alastor groans as he walks through a deserted terrain. A bird started to fly by him before it got stabbed by one of his tendrils. He shook his head as he approached a radio shack. Said radioshack was tilted and run-down, a part of the outside seeming to have deteriorated over time, and no one was around to fix it. He stumbled, grabbing a nearby wall to keep his balance before grasping his chest.

He huffed as he gripped his chest hard, his smile twitching as he continued walking whilst trying to keep his balance. As he climbed into the shack, he stumbled over to the console, using his hands to keep himself standing before looking up and at the desolate land in front of him. He caught sight of another bird flying over his station before spitefully using a tendril to stab it.

Having little satisfaction, he sat back in his chair and lay back while still huffing. After a moment, he undid his shirt and opened it, revealing the wound he got from fighting Adam. It left a very nasty scar, one that hadn't fully healed and still bled. Alastor huffed in annoyance before closing his shirt, then moving on to his next problem.

He summoned his staff, which was still broken in two. He tried to reconnect the two pieces by the broken part, but a spark emitted between the pieces. He still tried to force them together, but eventually... he gave up.

"Fuck." He says without his filter, then he slammed his fists on the console. "FUCK!" He huffed before lowering his head in defeat. "I can't do this. I can't go back there like this."

Alastor looked at his reflection in the broken window. His hair was frazzled and unkempt, making him annoyed as he pinched the bridge of his nose before attempting to fix it. Unfortunately for him, his hair didn't seem fixable.

He gave up on it before looking back at his staff. He figured there was no harm in another attempt to fix it.

"Alright. Let's try this again."

He then moved the two parts together, slowly. Focusing his attention on the splintered parts, bending and moving them into place as sparks emitted between them once more. However, he kept going, fighting to reattach the piece.

Grunts came from his mouth as he struggled, but didn't stop. He kept going, and going. However... it was for naught.

The sparks blasted away the microphone pieces, causing them to bounce off the walls before landing on the floor. Fury ran through his mind as he slammed his fists on the console over and over again.

"Dammit. Dammit! DAMMIT!" His voice glitched on the last slam before he huffed and puffed again.

"Hmm... I didn't think you'd be one to throw a tantrum." The radio crackled to life as his eyes went wide. "I guess you finally have been humbled, huh?"

"Oh, great." Alastor says under his breath as he squints in annoyance before lifting his head, adjusting his face into a smug smile, and reactivating his radio filter. "Well, I haven't heard from you in a long time, now. Not that it was bad per se."

(Heaven Bedroom)

"Yes, well-" Lilith says on her cellphone as she starts taking off her bikini. "-I have been trying to contact you for the past year now."

"Oh, I am so flattered to know how missed I was." Alastor says jokingly.

"Don't get it twisted, little fawn." She giggled while dropping her bikini on a nearby dresser. "Curious though. Care to explain why you've been silent since then?"

(Hell)

Alastor sat up straight before looking back at his broken staff, then at his chest. He did not want to tell her about what happened.

"I've just been a little busy."

"Well, I should hope so. Especially now."

He growled as his eyes narrowed before speaking again. "I surely hope you didn't call just to mock me."

(Heaven)

Lilith sighs as she lies on her bed, her long hair covering her chest. "Lucky you, that is not why I'm calling. I just have a few questions about what has been going on in Hell as of recently."

"I'm all ears, your majesty."

"Okay, for starters. My sources tell me that there is a living mortal spending time with my daughter. Can you confirm that?" She paused for a moment, hearing him humming. "Little fawn, it's rude to keep a lady waiting."

"Well, I can certainly confirm such."

(Hotel)

"Ya know, it feels like it's been forever since we stayed down in Hell." Ash says as he walks down the hall while carrying his wives.

"Slept down here anyway." Vaggie says while resting her head on his shoulder. "It hasn't been that long since we came here, and yet it just... feels like it has."

"I mean, we have been busy these past few days."

"No kidding. It's not all bad, though." She says while looking at her snoozing wife just across from her.

"Yeah, I should've asked, but how did the talk with the media go?"

"Well, not much to say. They seemed kinda freaked out about the Extermination happening, but she calmed them down."

"And the explosion?"

"She just... one of them kinda was pushing her buttons."

"What? What did they say?" Ash says as he stops for a moment. "She usually doesn't act like that when being insulted."

"I know, but this one seemed to really get to her. Still, it could be a lot worse. All in all, though, I think she handled it pretty well."

"Yeah, she probably needs a break more than us. Really proud of her." Ash says as Charlie's smile widened in her sleep.

"Just one thing before it slips my mind. Did you... just leave the kids alone?"

"Not alone. They have their uncles and aunt. I'm sure they're doing just fine."

"Well, let's hope they can handle them a little longer."

"Yeah, but..." Ash chuckled before giving her a half-lidded stare. "That means more time for ourselves. ~"

Vaggie snorted before playfully, and softly, shoving him, then laughing. However, their smiles slowly dropped when they heard some muffled shouting as soon as they reached their room.

As they heard the shouting, the two of them grew concerned. Ash was slowly getting ready to put his wives down... before the door suddenly busted open, causing him to jump back up before lifting one of his legs as two things ran past him, making him and Vaggie look baffled as the man stumbled before catching his balance.

"Back! Back away!" The short fish-looking sinner shouts as he's backed into a corner before pulling out a ray gun. "I'll shoot! I promise I will!"

"Go on, shoot! Come on, shoot me!" Niffty shouted as she got increasingly close, freaking him out. "Nothing can keep me from getting what I want when there's something I really, REALLY want! SO, SHOOT ME!"

"GET AWAY FROM ME!"

"What the hell!?" The two stopped before looking, and seeing Ash, letting down Vaggie, who pulled out her spear. "What is going on!? N-Niffty, who is this? And..." The boy looked back. "Why were you in our room?"

"He's a bad boy! That's what he is!" Niffty says, foaming at the mouth, which was never a good sign.

"*GASP!!!*" The fish-sinner gawked before he immediately forgot what was happening. "I KNEW IT! I WAS RIGHT!"

"W-What?"

"They said you suddenly disappeared-" The sinner laughs as he walks up to him. "-I had a hunch, and I was right! YOU! THE HUMAN! Were still in this hotel!"

"Wha... Oh shoot." Ash says as he realizes he wasn't wearing his disguise.

"You shouldn't even be in here, let alone our room. How did you get past-"

"Getting past the crowd of dumbasses at the front? It was rather easy, but that's besides the point." The sinner says while pointing at the human.

"Oh, you're gonna get the point, alright!" Vaggie says while moving her spear closer to his face.

"WAIT! WAIT! Hold on!" The sinner says while holding his hands up.

All the commotion causes Charlie to stir, catching her spouse's attention. She yawned before blinking.

"Wha... what's with the yelling?" She asked while rubbing her eyes.

"Nothing, just go back to sleep, babe." Vaggie says quickly.

"What are you..." Charlie says that before she looked, and saw the sinner before her eyes lit up. "HOLY SHIT!" She yelled while flailing out of Ash's arms before he caught her again, then she arched her back, looking at the fish upside-down with a smile. "Hello! Hi!" She says while waving before she turns her body and then gets up before crouching in front of him. "Welcome to the Hazbin Hotel! What's your name!?"

"My name is Baxter." The sinner says proudly.

"Oooh, Baxter. That's a fun name. Are you checking in with us?"

"Uh..." The sinner started to say before a light bulb appeared above his head, and he smiled. "I intend to, yes."

"What?" Ash and Vaggie both say.

"OH! That's great! Aw, wook at your wittle lab coat." Charlie continues to say in a cutesy tone. "It's very cute-*GASP!*... are you an inventor?"

"DON'T BELITTLE ME, WOMAN!" Baxter interrupts her, earning himself two death glares from behind her that went unnoticed. "I'm not an inventor, I am a scientist. There's a difference. Some could classify me as a... mad... scientist." He says while giggling manically, which makes Niffty buckle at the hips while smiling widely.

"Pentious was an inventor." Charlie then says, which seemed to offend the fish. "That's so cool! I bet you're just like him!"

"If you're referring to that pompous snake, I'd like it known, I am NOTHING like him."

He barely had time to finish when Charlie grabbed his arm and dragged him down the hall, excited. Ash and Vaggie were both thrown off, taking a momentary glance at each other before running after them. Niffty bounced before running as well.

I'd like to cut in one moment. The second trailer for season 2 has just dropped midway through writing this, and, uh... yeah, I'm not finishing this book before season 2 starts. I'm continuing this book, but Season 2 will be over by the time I'm done.

"The one time I was about to win the jackpot, and that JACKASS decides to fucking bring me here." Husk says in rage before calming down. "Now look, I've taken a liking to you guys, but you have to understand how truly fucking frustrating that is."

"Damn, as if I didn't like that guy enough, already." Lucifer says.

"Yeesh, this is why I don't play Poker anymore." Angel says.

"You played Poker?" Lucifer asked as he and Riolu raised their brows.

"Eh, a few games of Strip Poker. Never won a single match."

"Did you just lose on purpose?" Husk asks.

"No, dipshit." Angel says before pursing his lips, then smirking. "Well, not all of them, anyway."

"Hey, everyone!" Charlie called as she appeared with Baxter by her side. "Meet, Pentious!"

"Baxter." The sinner corrected her.

"Right, Baxter. And you're here to be redeemed, Pen-xter-Baxter. Sorry, sorry." She started stuttering over her words. "Pentious-xter, Baxter! Sorry, that's... Baxter, Baxter."

"Oh no." Ash says while Vaggie covers her face.

"... yes, well, I am here to study this fascinating concept called redemption." Baxter starts. "My hypothesis is that it is impossible."

"Yeah, thanks, Sherlock. Where the fuck did this shithead come from?" Cherri asked as she and the others stood up.

"Well, Pent-Uh... Baxter here-" Charlie started.

"He broke in while Charlie was dealing with the crowd." Vaggie says.

"It shouldn't count as breaking in, technically." Baxter speaks up. "And anyway, as I have stated, my objective is to study the concept of redemption-even if I think it's not possible-but mostly it was also to prove that the human who fought in the angel army was taking residence here, under the public's nose."

"And sadly, I wasn't prepared for that." Ash says.

"And now that one of my theories has been proven right..." The fish demon let out a maniacal giggle while rubbing his hands as a smile stretched from cheek to cheek across his face. "There is much more for me to study."

Everyone except Charlie gave him a long, blank stare after that. Niffty, on the other hand, was panting, drooling, and squinting her one eye. If any dared to look at her, they might've seen her iris forming a heart.

"Okay, so, you're not here to be redeemed then?" Lucifer asks as the fish sinner pursed his lips for a moment.

"Well, I suppose the only way to prove the possibility is to attempt it. I didn't come all this way for nothing." Baxter explains.

"Perfect!" Charlie says while getting in his face before standing and turning. "Come on. I'll show you around, and we can get your room set up in a bit."

"Wait, Charlie, are you sure this is a good idea?" Vaggie asks. "I know we should be giving people a chance to better themselves, but are we sure it's a good idea to let him in after how he acted earlier?"

"I know, but then again, Angel and Pentious also weren't... the best people when they came here, but they made progress. Especially, Angel." The princess continued as Baxter seemed slightly offended at who he was being compared to. "Besides, he really hasn't done anything problematic yet. And sure, it might take time... maybe even longer, but we'll never know unless we try, right?"

"I... well..." Ash says, thinking for a moment. "She does kinda have a point. Besides, Pentious also kinda tried to sabotage us at first, and we still gave him a chance. And well..." He stops and looks at the painting. "He changed and tried his best to help us protect the hotel. So, who knows?" He says before smiling. "Maybe we could get somewhere with this."

Vaggie thought for a moment. Looking between her spouses, both of whom seemed on the same side and she couldn't help but give in.

"Alright, you got me." She says while holding her hands up.

"Thank you!" Charlie says while hugging her. "Love you!" She says before pecking her on the lips, then letting go and turning to Baxter. "Here, let us show you around. You can pick whichever floor you'd like for a room and will be allowed to customize it to your heart's content."

"Well, I look forward to it." Baxter says before pulling out a clipboard. "Firstly, I have a few questions for the human."

"And we can get to them, but right now, let's begin the tour." Charlie says happily.

Baxter looked disappointed for a moment before looking towards Ash, then back to her. "And then I can ask the human questions?"

"Uh... sure."

"Hmm... ugh, I suppose it can wait."

"Great! Come on now!" Charlie says as she takes his arm and starts to lead him toward the stairs, but he takes his hand back. "Your journey to redemption awaits."

"I look forward to it." Baxter says sarcastically while following.

"You still sure this is a good idea?" Vaggie asks, unsure.

"Never know unless we try." Ash says before putting a hand on her shoulder. "Let's give this a chance."

"Alright. Again, I'll hold you to it."

"But yeah, we should probably also keep an eye on him."

The two nodded before they began following their spouse. That left the gang in the foyer.

"Yeah, I already don't like that guy." Husk says.

"Eh, I was kinda a dick when I joined, too." Angel says.

"An awesome dick." Cherri says while giving him a playful nudge. "But that fucker ain't awesome."

"Couldn't agree more." Lucifer says while he and Riolu were glaring in the direction of Baxter.

"Does that mean Baxter is gonna be the new Pentious?" Niffty asks.

"NO!!!" Everyone, including Baxter, except Lucifer, yelled at her.

Another note, Google Docs keeps trying to correct Niffty to Nifty... I don't know, just felt like pointing that out... Please come back, Tai.

"I do not want to be compared to that buffoon!" Baxter says while jabbing a finger into her forehead, which only makes her giggle, before he was grabbed and dragged away.

"Okay! You're different! Understood. Now, let's begin-" Charlie starts to say before-

*Knock! Knock! Knock!*

"I got it!" Angel says before doing a flip off the couch and heading for the door. "Hey, if you got questions, we can't..." He started to say before he stopped.

"Deepest apologies, but may we come in? We're looking for the owner of this establishment." A mature voice says.

"Uh..." He stutters, his eyes darting back and forth for a moment... then shuts the door. "Hey, Charlie!"

"What!?" Charlie groans at being interrupted again.

"There's some fancy-looking motherfuckers at the door." He says while awkwardly smiling.

"Fancy?" She asks as he just nods before she sighs. "I'm sorry, we're gonna get to the tour in a moment. I just gotta deal with something."

"Ya know, I can take care of this." Lucifer says as he goes to the door.

"No, no! I can handle this. I gotta manage some things myself, and this is one." She says while puffing out her chest... then taking her spouses' hands. "Wish me luck." She whispers.

"We will." They both whisper.

She then left and went to the door, not without Baxter finding something off. It was basically public that she and Vaggie were in a relationship at this point, but he wondered why she would take the hands of both her and the human at the same time. And not to mention the way the human was carrying her earlier seemed off since, why would he be the one carrying her, and why wouldn't Vaggie have a problem with it?

"Okay, here goes nothing." Charlie says before opening the door. "Hello, and wel..."

"Ah, there she is. So good to see you again, Charlie." The mature voice states.

"Yes..." The younger guy says. "So good to see you again, dear."

"... Fuck my life." She says to herself.

(Meanwhile, at the news station)

"That fucking bitch!" Katie shouts as she's trying to fix her messy burnt hair while in a neck brace. "This is gonna take forever to fix."

"Well, what the fuck did you expect, Katie!?" Tom scolds her as someone she paid is tending to her wounds. "I tried to warn you, but NOOO! You wanted to act all high and mighty around the Princess of Hell, who held back the first time she fought you and could've easily killed you this time."

"Ugh, whatever." Katie says while shoving the guy tending to her wounds. "I do not want that shit posted. I don't care what the press wants. I want that goddamn footage deleted ASAP, cause I am not gonna be made a fucking tool of by that bitch let alone a (Insert homophobic slur here) of all things."

"Wha-Katie we were live when that happened."

The homophobic bitch's eyes widened. "Ex-fucking-scuse me?"

"We. Were. Live."

"WHA-WHY THE FUCK WERE WE LIVE!?"

"We're the fucking news! That's literally the whole point!" Tom says before looking at a tablet. "And also, those comments you made about her sexuality didn't really fly well with most of our watchers."

"Oh, we lost like 2% of our viewership. Big fucking woop."

"Actually, it was 73% of our viewership we lost."

"WHAT!?" Katie swiped the tablet from him and looked. "We didn't lose that many before!"

"Well, more people were watching this one because of the Extermination, according to-"

"THIS IS BULLSHIT!" She screamed while chucking it at the floor.

"Yeah, well, whose fucking fault was that!? If you had just shut your damn mouth, maybe we wouldn't be in this much shit!"

"FUCK OFF, TOM!" Katie screams while swiping her hand, then realizes it was empty.

She loudly cleared her throat and held her hand out. The sounds of a coffee machine echoed for a second, better the pitter-pattering of feet came into the room, and she was handed a fresh cup of coffee.

"FUCK OFF, TOM!" She screamed and attempted to splash him, but he dodged, causing the splash to hit someone else.

They scream in pain before running around and then crashing through the window. His screams faded into the distance before a muffled splatter echoed from below.

"And now we need a new cameraman. Good job." Tom says sarcastically.

"FUCKING GOD! Where is the silver lining!? Why can't-"

"Ms. Killjoy?"

"WHAT!?"

"... Uh, you got a call."

An imp woman wearing a uniform with 'intern' on it said while holding up a phone. The bitch looked at her, looked at the phone, then looked back at her... then swiped the phone from her hand as the intern took a step back.

"What do you want? I'm in the middle of dealing with some shit at the moment." Katie says.

"Oh, I know. I saw the whole thing, and it was very amusing seeing you act like a fool."

"Ugh, thanks, bastard. Do you have anything worth my time? Cause if not, you can fuck off."

"Well, I'm sure you'd want to hear this. After all, it involves little Miss Morningstar herself." The caller says which catches her interest.

"Beg your pardon?"

(Meanwhile, elsewhere)

"You see, we both hate what Morningstar is planning to do. We wouldn't want her succeeding and making us both fools a second time. And of course, there are other downsides to her plan succeeding."

The camera zooms out to reveal the speaker as Vox, sitting comfy in his chair, next to a monitor with the call going on. He took a sip from his mug before continuing.

"But besides that, she's already accepted that souls can't be redeemed and won't be going to Heaven anyway." He chuckled before resting the lower side of his head in his palm. "We just gotta... put her in her place."

(Back at the station)

Hearing that, Katie's face drooped for a second. Her eyes darted around for a second before she threw a stack of cash at the intern and then pointed at the floor. The said intern knelt in front of her before she put her elbow on her head.

"I'm listening."

(Radioshack)

"That part's all hearsay, but Charlie isn't one I believe would lie about such." Alastor says while leisurely sitting back in his chair.

"So, that limp dick loser actually got killed by a tiny cyclops?" Lilith asks.

"That's what I said."

(Heaven)

Lilith hummed to herself.

'Well, technically, that human did weaken him, so I guess it shouldn't count, but... then again, it's still amusing.' She thought to herself.

"Now, I'm sure you're eager to learn what goes on next." Alastor starts to say.

"No need. You can stop there."

"Hmm? I'm sorry, but are you sure? Cause there's something-"

"I've heard enough. I'm not interested in anymore unnecessary details."

(Hell)

Alastor grumbled at being interrupted and ironically in such a condescending way. He sighed before regaining his posture.

"Is there anything else you'd like... your 'majesty'?" He says, mirroring the tone he was given earlier, before a chain suddenly locked around his neck and tugged him downward.

"Watch your tone with me, fawn. I may still have some patience, but it'd behoove you to not test it."

Alastor choked a bit as the chain disappeared. He groaned in pain as he remained on the floor, rubbing his neck. He tried his best to shrug it off, but couldn't hide that he was seething.

"One of these days." He mutters to himself.

"Anyways, that's all I have to say. I have to prepare for my visit down there."

Then his eyes shot wide open as his ears shot up. The corners of his lips quivered as he slowly turned to the console.

"... What?" He asks.

"Yes, I'm making a trip down there to see this human for myself."

"You're..." Alastor clears his throat as he stands up and reactivates his filter before laughing. "HA! HA! I never took you for the joking type, Ms. Morningstar."

"Oh, it is not a joke. I'm packing to come down there." Lilith continues as he starts to lose his composure.

"Wha-Wha-Uh... A-Are you... Are you-Are you serious?"

"Yes, it was a lovely chat while it lasted. I look forward to seeing you in person after so long." She continues, as he could feel her devious smirk through the transmission. "So, stand clear for my arrival, little fawn. I'll be there soon enough."

His smile had fully dropped.

"Wait, no, no! NO! DON'T!" He tried to say as he went over to his console and nearly tripped while holding himself up on the console.

It was too late. He already heard the click of her hanging up the phone.

He stood there, hunched over the console. All alone. The news was sinking into his brain as he realized what was happening. In any other case, he would still have held his confidence high, kept smiling even in the face of danger without a hint of fear and worry... however, this time was different.

He wasn't happy... he wasn't smug... his confidence was lost in that moment... he was the one who was now in fear and worry. And the one thing of all...

He... was not... smiling...

To be continued...
