Back in the hotel's foyer, Lute throws Vaggie to the ground, knocking her spear out of her hand.

"You always were weak." Lute said.

Vaggie tries to reach for her spear, but Lute flips it off the ground and out of her reach with her foot, before driving it into Vaggie's right hand. Vaggie screams in pain.

"So, I'll spare you the pain of seeing your demon bitch die."

Vaggie looks up and sees that the mezzanine is on the verge of collapse. Pulling the spear out of her hand, she uses it to throw Lute off of her before revealing her newly restored wings to fly up and destroy the last pillars holding it up. Lute screams as it falls on her as plumes of sawdust fly everywhere. When it clears, the LED face has come off of Lute's mask. Lute's left arm is pinned under the rubble.

"Do it, then. Correct your mistake."

Vaggie glares and points her spear at Lute's chin.

"Seriously, you're pathetic, you know that? Ready to die rather than accepting mercy? No, live. Live knowing that you only do because I let you, the failure."

Hearing Charlie screaming in the distance, Vaggie flies out of the hole in the hotel's roof to help her. As soon as she is gone, Lute, not accepting mercy, begins to free herself from under the rubble. She screams in pain as she pulls her left arm out of its socket, freeing the rest of her body.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On the hotel's roof, Adam knocks Charlie to the ground, before picking her up and then punching her in the stomach.

"Charlie!!" Damari yelled before growling.

With her wings, she grabbed Adam by his collar and they both go high in the sky. The two started to get into their fist fight in the air before they slammed back into the ground as Adam managed to grab a hold of her neck and started choking Damari. Damari grabbed a hold of his wrists to try and get him to release her.

"Damari, you know you could join me and I will spare your life." Adam suggested. "You'll living in full paradise in Heaven with the rest of us."

"Never! What's the point?! All the sinners will keep on dying and you'll just be on charge just to see them suffer. Laughing all the way while the world goes down in flames." Damari choked out.

She then grab her sword and attempt to cut off his throat when he quickly dodged it and grabbed her wrist. Damari quickly turned him over as she's now on top of him and struggled to get her blade to touch his throat. Having enough of it, Adam grabbed her hair fistfully and pulled it back, causing her to yell in pain. Seeing her distracted, he pushed her away and flew into the sky for a moment, still holding her hair before facing her. Damari struggled to get him to release her hair as she teared up in pain.

"You had your chances, and now I'm going to make sure you were never born!"

Growling, Damari made her sword fly back to her as she glared up at Adam.

"FUCK YOU!!"

Then she cuts her hair and falls and then saves herself by flapping her wings to stay in the air. Adam looks at her in shock then to her hair he's still holding.

"Ugh! You're crazy!!"

He throws Damari's hair away. What they didn't notice the VoxTech drone quietly managed to catch her hair before going back to watching them. Damari charges and kicks Adam in the chest, causing him to stumble back. Adam charges at Damari with his fist, but she easily blocks it at full force with her shield and knocks him backwards. The two sneer at each other and began charging each other once again. When the two meet, Damari throws her shield at Adam, who catches it easily. But in that moment, he lets his guard down. Damari then slams her glowing red fist down on Adam's head, sending him crushing onto the rooftop ground with enough force to create a big crack. With her sword forward, Damari flies down to finish him off when Adam manages to zap out holy light from his fingers, which causes her to dodge it. But with her distracted, he managed to knock her sword away and grabbed her neck again. Damari tries to fight back but he tightened his hold on her while grabbing one of her wings with his free hand to tighten his grip on it to make sure it's painful.

"Let...me...go!" Damari choked out.

Charlie looks up and sees her friend in danger.

"Damari!!" she gasped.

She tries to get up, but she's still in pain from the fight with Adam as she struggles.

"This fight was cute n'all, but it's time to die with the rest of them!" Adam grinned evilly.

With those words, his mask glitches for a moment. Husk, Angel, Cherri, and the Monster High gang all backed up against each other as they're surrounded by the Exorcists. Vaggie flies to the roof to help Damari, but Lute flies after her and pins her to the floor.

"Damari!!" Vaggie yelled out.

Suddenly, a fist appears and punches Adam so hard that it damages his mask as he goes flying into the hotel's sign, before falling through the roof. The person catches Damari as it is revealed to be Lucifer, with his wings out and sporting a different coat, this one with red and golden epaulets.

"Lucifer??" Damari said in shock.

"Dad?" Charlie said, getting up.

Lucifer smiles at them.

"Sorry I wasn't here sooner, sweeties."

Lucifer lands and puts Damari down as Charlie checks up on her friend. Adam climbs back onto the roof, half of his mask having broken off.

"Okay, seriously! How many of you freaks do I have to fight?!

Lucifer walks up to Adam, rolling up his sleeves to fight.

"Oh, I'm the only one that matters. See, you messed with my daughter and her friend, and now, I am going to FUCK you!"

Adam stares at Lucifer, perplexed. Damari was disgusted and shocked at what he just said. Lute and Vaggie stop their fight to stare in confusion at Lucifer. Angel cocks an eyebrow, smiling as Husk gives him a deadpanned look and the other Exorcists also stare in confusion. The Vees stare at the screen from V Tower, Vox looking perplexed, Velvette wearing a smile, and Valentino saying:

"Well, this just got interesting."

"What the fuck??" Damari said.

Charlie, slightly embarrassed, corrects her dad.

"It's fuck you up, Dad." she whispered.

"...Wait, what did I say?" Lucifer asked with confusion.

Adam flies at Lucifer with a battle cry, smashing him into the wall. Lucifer transforms into a snake to escape and slithers into the air, before transforming back.

"Hyahahah! So this is what you been up to since Eden?" he taunted, dodging Adam by turning into a goat. "Gotta say, you've really let yourself go, buddy."

Adam grabs Lucifer by the foot. Lucifer turns into a snake briefly to free himself. Adam throws him away and Lucifer turns into a bird.

"You?! Judging me?! You're the most hated being in all of creation!"

Adam tries to shoot his angelic light at Lucifer, but Lucifer dodges.

"Well, your first wife didn't seem to hate what I had to offer... or the second, bow-chicka-pow-pow!"

Lucifer flies away doing a little dance with a hint of thrusting gesture. Adam briefly manages to hold him in a chokehold.

"I'll fuckin' end you!" Adam yelled angrily.

Lucifer turns into a horse and kicks Adam away.

"Whoa, missed me!" he laughed, turning back and dodging Adam's light. "Hoohoo, not even close. Haha! Nice try, douchebag!"

"Hold still, you slippery fucker!" Adam growled.

Charlie and Damari watches the two of them fighting for a few moments before running over to help Vaggie. Meanwhile Lucifer, in the form of an octopus, has Adam wrapped up in his tentacles before Adam chucks him away, Lucifer changing back to his standard form. Adam charges up a huge blast of angelic light at Lucifer. Lucifer dodges and the light chops the hotel straight in half.  Damari quickly flies in the air to save herself when she hears a scream and looks down to see Charlie screaming as she falls down the middle, the entire hotel crumbling around her. Damari flies down to save her when Lucifer beats her to it and swoops down and catches her.

"I got ya." Lucifer said.

Charlie smiles before hearing Adam's laughing. She looks and sees him charging up to them. Damari sees him and gets in front of Lucifer.

"Dad, look out!" Charlie warned.

"Huh?" Lucifer questioned, looking over Damari's shoulder.

Charlie snarls as she used her demonic powers to transform her right hand, turning it red with darken splotches, somewhat resembling Hellboy, and at the same time, Damari's marks on her body glows and her hands turns into claws and they both block Adam just as he was about to punch them.

"Woah wait, what the fuck?!" Adam exclaimed in shock.

Lucifer, Charlie, and Damari stare at Adam menacingly, before they catapult him to the ground screaming, the impact leaving a blast wave of smoke, and a crater where he lay, his mask completely shattered, revealing his human face. He looks up and sees Lucifer in his fully demonic form, a spark of flames emitting between his horns as his eyes glow blood red.

"YOU COME AT ME, AND MY DAUGHTER! AND MY PEOPLE! DON'T FORGET, YOU'RE IN MY HOUSE, BITCH!"

Lucifer proceeds to punch Adam senselessly, fire coming from his hands as he does so and laughs at Adam's pain. Lucifer then summons a sphere of fire, preparing to finish him off, before Charlie puts her hand on his shoulder, getting his attention.

"Whoa, whoa, Dad. He's had enough."

They look down to Adam, who lies motionless on the ground. Damari said nothing and just glares down at Adam. The two royals and the Nephalem then leave the crater, still staring at Adam.

"Alright. How's mercy taste, you little bitch?" Lucifer smirked.

"No..." Adam said, getting up. "You don't get to end this! I'm fucking Adam!"

He gets out of crater and faces the gang.

"I'm the fucking man, and you're just some fucking clown or something! I started everything on Earth! All of mankind came from these fucking nuts! You all should be worshipping me, you ungrateful, disgusting, fucking losers-!"

Just as he says these words, Adam gets punched in the face by Damari. He falls to the ground in pain. Charlie and the gang looked at Damari in shock as she glares daggers at Adam.

"You have no right to be worshipped by anyone! The only one I'd rather worship is God himself! And you won't make it back!"

Adam laughs and gets up.

"And what are you going to do about it?"

Damari stomps over and grabs Adam by his collar, lifting him off the ground. Without a word, Damari lifted up her sword and in a quick moment, Adam's wings were chopped off from his back. Adam screams in bloody murder as Damari drops him to the ground. Adam looks down in horror to see his wings on the ground. Damari lifts him up to make him stand.

"Filthy man like you deserves no place in Heaven or in Hell. You are weak and defeated. As punishment for your sinful actions, your punishment is... death!!"

She then stabs him through the chest, making Adam shout in pain. Everyone looks in shock as Damari killed Adam.

"Woa-hoah!" Vaggie said with an awestruck smile.

"That... was unexpected." Lucifer commented.

"And this is for Sir Pentious." Damari continued before releasing her sword from his chest and backing away.

Adam collapses face first to the ground.

"Damari..." Charlie said in shock.

Damari stares blankly at Adam until Niffty rushes over and starts viciously stabbing Adam again and again after Damari stabbed him, his golden blood going all over her while some splashed on Damari, but she doesn't care.

"STAB! STAB STAB! Hahahaha! Haha! Hahaha! RUEAhahaha!" Niffty laughed maniacally.

The Vees stare in shock at the screen from V Tower at Damari's action of killing Adam.

"Ho-ly shit!" Vox said with a shocked grin.

"Blood! Hahahaha!!" Niffty continued laughing.

"I think that's enough fun for you, Niffty." Damari said.

"Okay!" Niffty smiled cutely at her.

A little way away, Lute turns and looks in horror at Adam's body.

"NOOOO!"

Lute dashes up to Adam just as Niffty skips off, turning him to face her. Adam gives her a small smile before dying.

"Sir! Sir! Stay with me sir! ADAM!" Lute yelled sorrowfully, tearing up.

Damari couldn't help but pity her. Though she couldn't care less about her, not after what they've done. The others then come up to her, Charlie and Lucifer in their demonic forms while Damari still in her Nephalem form.

"It's over." Charlie said firmly.

"Take your little friends, and GO HOME! Please." Lucifer ordered in a demonic tone before speaking softly.

"You better do what they say, and if I ever see your pathetic face again, I will make you lose more than just your arm." Damari threatened, eyes glowing red and blue along her glowing halo and her glowing eye from her chest.

Lute realizes that the only option she has is obeying them and picks up Adam's halo.

"Retreat! All Exorcists fall back!"

With that command, all the surviving Exorcists take off to the portal to Heaven, Lute following behind scowling. The portal then closes as Lucifer looks to the group.

"Sooo...." he sighed before offering something. "Who's up for pancakes?"

Only Niffty raises her hand, everyone else just looks at him, unamused.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

New flash from 666 News, Katie and Tom are in the frame.

"Good evening. I'm Katie Killjoy!" Katie greeted happily.

"And I'm-"

Katie Killjoy shoves Tom Trench out of his seat and out of the frame.

"Nobody gives a shit who you are, Tom. Breaking news - Extermination day is cancelled!"

Arackniss and Baxter are seen looking at a billboard which is playing the news report. The news report begins to play clips from the fight with the Exorcists.

"Charlie Morningstar managed to fend off the angelic attack with more than just nice words."

In Cannibal Town, Rosie watches the news report while sipping tea, while in V Tower, Velvette watches the news on her phone. Valentino comes over and briefly looks over her shoulder, before walking away to play the same news report on his television.

"In an unseen turn of events, our demonic head honcho Lucifer stepped in to save his daughter's ass in the last moment." Katie continued. "We're also hearing reports that Adam, leader of the angelic legions, first man and totally fuckable bad boy, has been slain by a human girl named Damari. That's right, folks! A human who shockingly somehow went into Hell without dying! But that's not all, she's also a Nephalem that no one has ever seen or heard of since centuries ago!"

From his surveillance room, Vox watches the news with a grin, which is now showing Damari being interviewed, staring at the camera with a nervous smile and a wave. Carmilla Carmine watches the news from her office, a small smile on her face.

"Damari said, quote, "I did what I have to do to save my friends. Protecting them and the hotel is worth it"."

Tom comes back into the frame only to have his face covered by the picture of the damaged Hazbin Hotel. He flips off as Katie finishes her report.

"Anyway, congrats to Charlie and her crew for not being totally fucking useless for once."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Charlie, Damari, Vaggie, Angel Dust, Husk, Niffty, Cherri Bomb and Lucifer dig through the rubble of the Hazbin Hotel. Damari looks around when she feels something wrapped around her shoulders and looks over to see Lucifer giving her his white jacket to cover herself. Damari smiles appreciatively at Lucifer, who smiles. Charlie runs through the hotel with Vaggie, looking anxiously around. She sees KeeKee lying in the rubble and picks her up. 

"Oh...there, there. It's...it's okay."

Charlie looks over and smiles briefly when she sees Angel and Fat Nuggets reuniting along with Damari and Charlotte. She begins to walk towards them, but she stops when she steps on something. Charlie looks down to see the banner which reads "Happy first week, Sir Pentious!". Damari sees that and tears up, silently mourning for him. Vaggie walks over to Charlie who begins to sing.

https://youtu.be/AheaN2nFLEE

He did it for us, the ultimate sacrifice
He gave me his trust, and look how we pay the price
This bloodshed could have been avoided
If I convinced Heaven to work together

Charlie walks through the hotel's ruins to the edge of the precipice, where she has a clear view of the hotel's sign, collapsed on the ground.

I took a hotel and I destroyed it
I know I could have done better
Better, instead of letting you down

Lucifer walks over to her and places a hand on her shoulder.

Come on little lady, why the frown?
In the last ten-thousand years
You're the first one to change this town

Lucifer stands in front of Charlie and points encouragingly at her

You can do this, now I know it
For your story has just begun
You can't quit now, hell, you owe it
There's still damage to be undone
You've changed my mind, you've touched their hearts

Vaggie, Angel (who is still holding Fat Nuggets), Damari, Charlotte, Husk, Niffty, Cherri Bomb, and the Monster High gang gather around the two of them.

From the good and souls gone bad
The stage is wrecked, the crowd is gone
But by God, Charlie!
The show, it must go on

Everyone else gathers around Charlie, singing encouragingly.

We can do this, we can build it
Best hotel that you've ever seen
Twice the bedrooms, we can fill it

Lucifer continues singing as he stands beside Damari.

With more sinners than you can dream
It starts with you
You know it's true
Fulfill your destiny

They all hold their hand out to Charlie, now smiling, stands up and wipes away her tears. She grabs Vaggie's hand and they all get into a group hug.

So long as I've got all of you with me

It cuts to Niffty running around the hotel's ruins, picking up bricks.

To build a hotel, I think we need some brick and lumber

Good thing we're in Hell
Check out this little magic number

Lucifer creates huge, neat piles of bricks. Meanwhile, Angel begins to build pillars with the help of Ghoulia and Cleo.

Start with foundation

Remedial creation for me

Lucifer, using KeeKee in her key form as a gun, creates foundations.

It's as easy as can be!

Lucifer laughs as he flies by. Cue to Charlie, helping to rebuild the hotel while wiping away tears with Damari flying by. Damari sings as she flies next to Husk.

No time for cryin', we've got a lot of work to do and

Charlie sings next as she passes the tools to Cherri and others.

We gotta try and make the best of what's in ruins

Vaggie helps rebuild as she holds up a bucket full of paint while Husk and Damari puts on lightbulbs.

New coat of paint!

New lights across the marquee

Charlie uses her angelic power to light up the lightbulbs.

With a little sorcery

Meanwhile, in V Tower, Vox bursts through the doors of Valentino's penthouse. Valentino and Velvette are already there.

After the battle, masterless cattle

Overlords hanging by a thread

As the Vees look at a board showing a mindmap of their enemies, Vox throws a knife through an old picture of Alastor. Vox is clearly visible in the frame, but has been torn out of the picture, presumably by Vox himself. In the middle of the board is a photo of Damari with hearts all around it. They glance over with a grin as they look at the glass cover of Damari's hair that was cut off on the table as a display.

With a bit of bravado, maybe tomorrow
We'll be atop the heap

Vox and Valentino dance together while Velvette records them, smiling.

While the rest of Hell's pissing

Alastor's missing

Fled with his tail between his legs

Valentino dipped Vox under his legs before pulling him up as Velvette watched in amusement at the dance moves.

Nature abhors a power vacuum
That leaves room for you and me

Velvette comes up behind Vox and Val and puts her arms around the two of them.

The future of Hell belongs to the Vees

As the three of them laugh together, Alastor is limping towards the ruins of his radio tower while holding the broken pieces of his microphone.

This place reeks of death, there's a chill in the air

Alastor enters his radio tower.

And I barely escaped being killed by a hair
"Great Alastor, altruist, died for his friends"
Sorry to disappoint, that is not where this ends
I'm hungry for freedom like never before

Alastor walks through his radio tower, his eyes darting around the room as he looks crazy and desperate.

The constraints of my deal surely have a backdoor
Once I figure out how to unclip my wings
Guess who will be pulling all the strings?

Alastor laughs maniacally as his shadow looms above him. Meanwhile, back at the hotel, the rest of the hotel's residents and the Monster High gang are finishing off the rebuilding while putting up a painting of Pentious.

We can do this (we can do this)
We'll be better (we'll be better)
Though redemption may take a while (though it may take a while)
Wayward sinners clear their ledger

Alastor appears in the middle of the group, now recovered.

And we're doing it with a smile

Everyone except for Husk and Lucifer cheer and hug Alastor.

"Al!!" Charlie and Damari said happily.

"Oh, this guy." Lucifer groaned.

Charlie sings as she pulls Vaggie and Damari to her side.

We'll make a difference, wait and see
We're gonna do this, you and me
And then tomorrow, it will be a fuckin' happy day in Hell

All of them sing the last line while looking at the rebuilt hotel. In V Tower, Vox and Valentino make out while Velvette takes a selfie of them. KeeKee transforms back to a normal key as Damari grabs a hold of her to look at the hotel as the eye opens up with Charlotte standing beside her, looking happy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In Heaven, Sera and Emily are sitting in a room together. Suddenly, Sir Pentious rises up into the room. His colour scheme has been changed to white, gold and blue and he now has a love-hearts motif. He looks around frantically.

"What? Where-where am I?"

He sees them and smiles nervously while waving at the two.

"Oh, hello."

Emily, realising that this is proof that the Hazbin Hotel works, squeaks with excitement. Sera, having come to the same conclusion, looks mortified.

"My, my, this is a wondrous turn of event."

Sera, Emily, and Sir Pentious turns and gasps to see a man standing before them.

"B-Big G! My Lord!" Sera stuttered, bowing before him.

Emily smiles excitedly and bows down to him as well. Big G gazes at Sir Pentious, who quickly bows.

"No need to bow, Sir Pentious. Nice to meet you." he greeted kindly.

"I-It's an honor to meet you, Big G." Sir Pentious said.

"Looks like my granddaughter's plan has worked." Big G said before frowning at the now scared Sera. "Now... care to explain to me about this... Extermination?"

Sera gulps nervously, knowing she's in deep trouble.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The ocean waves washes ashore on the beaches in Heaven. In a beach chair, a lone woman with a large fedora hat sits there, watching the sea. As her hair flows by the winds, Lute comes to her and dumps the deceased Adam's halo on the ground in front of her.

"Adam is dead. Your deal is done and I'm in charge now. Your brat is threatening the very foundation of Heaven. Along with that human bitch girl who became a Nephalem. And if you want to stay here..."

Lute leans down and points at the sea before pointing at the woman.

"...you're going down there, and stopping those bitches. You understand me...Lilith?"

The woman, revealed to be Lilith, stared up at Lute before she furrows her eyebrows from behind the sunglasses in annoyance.
