(Opening Theme Ends)

==========

The scene opens with an exterior shot of the Hazbin Hotel before cutting to inside with Charlie pacing back and forth in panic mode. Keekee was in the shot, walking alongside her owner.

Charlie: "Okay. So, the extermination is coming in six months instead of a year. No big deal. Just a little setback. Nothing we can't handle. Just angels cutting our timetable in half. But who needs a whole year to save souls? Am I right?!"

By now, Charlie starts to panic.

Charlie: (panics) "And next time when they cut the time in half again, and again, we'll just handle it, right?!"

Vaggie then grabs Charlie and tries calming her down.

Vaggie: "Yes. We will."

Angel: "Oh, please, ya had less then half a chance when you started all this salvation bullshit. And now..."

Suddenly his phone vibrates with violent threating messages such as 'fucking bitch' and other forms of profanity.

Angel: "Ain't no silver lining this time toots."

Charlie: (worried smile) "Sure there is! We just...have to look a little harder for it!"

Angel: "Well, while you're lookin', the rest'a hell's goin' nuts."

The Gay Porn Star waves his phone in their faces.

Angel: "People are already freakin' out about the news. Look at what's happenin' in the Doomsday District."

He scrolls down an article with the bottom showing a demon screaming in front of a fire. Suddenly a pink message appears. Charlie gets closer to read it.

Charlie: (confused) "Err, what is a... Donkey Show?"

He panics and retreats the phone back.

Angel: "Aah, heh, nothin'. My boss, Val, is just freaked out about the news too. Like I said, everyone's losin' their shit."

Hearing this just gave Vaggie an idea.

Vaggie: "Yeah, that's true. Sinners are desperate. Maybe desperate enough to try anything to escape the extermination?"

Charlie: (gasps) "This is the perfect time to recruit more sinners for the hotel!"

Shio: (nods) "This... could indeed be the opportunity we need."

Angel: "Cute idea and all, but you really gonna go out in all of this?"

He shows the phone with the place still on fire and demons in a panic.

Charlie: "Well, it's not like people are just gonna show up on our doorstep-"

Suddenly, a massive explosion made Charlie scream in fight from behind, getting their attention.

Shio: (sigh) "What now?"

They turn to see a freshly made hole in the wall. When the group makes their way outside, they see Sir Pentious' zeppelin armed for battle. The scene cuts inside to see him and his Egg Boiz scattering around.

Sir Pentious: "Show yourself Alasssstor. Come and face-"

The snake demon pauses for a moment when he notices Alastor absent from the freshly made hole. He then looks up a bit to see him sipping coffee on the balcony of the second floor.

Sir Pentious: "Oh there you are."

The Radio Demon gives a smile.

Sir Pentious: "Face my wrath!"

He takes a sip from his mug that's labeled 'OH DEER' before looking at him.

Alastor: (smiles) "Who are you?"

Sir Pentious: (glares) "Who am I? Who am I?! I am the great Ssssssir Pentiousssss! Inventor, architect of dessstruction, villain extraordinaire!"

As he was monologuing, Alastor dissolves into fog as he descends to the ground, materializing aside Angel, Vaggie, Shio, and Charlie who are in the scene watching Sir Pentious's zeppelin.

Egg Bois: "Ooh you tell 'em boss."

Niffty then appears on Alastor's right shoulder, clearly starstruck.

Niffty: "Ooooooh, he's a bad boy~"

Alastor scoops Niffty up and drops her to the ground.

Alastor: "Ha, well if all that's true, you'd think I'd have heard of you."

Sir Pentious: (incredulous) "I attacked you literally last week."

The Radio Demon cocks his head.

Sir Pentious: (incredulous) "We've done battle, like... 20 times."

Alastor: (smiles) "Well, you must have been really bad at this."

Sir Pentious: (glares) "Silence! Now cower! For when I've ssslain you, the almighty Vees will finally acknowledge me as their equal."

Then Niffty reappears on Alastor's shoulder.

Niffty: (curious and confused) "Ooh! Wait, who are the Vees?"

Alastor: (smiles) "Oh, nobody important."

Shio: (sigh) "Okay I'm handling this."

He was about to manifest the Ohma Zi-O Driver, but Alastor stopped him when he placed a hand on his shoulder.

Alastor: (smiles) "No, no, no, my young friend... I'll handle this."

Speaking the last part in a demonic tone, Shio suddenly feels the demonic energy rising up from the Radio Demon. Seeing this, he knows shit is about to do down.

========== (Scene Change) ==========

The scene changes to show the Vees' headquarters. Panning down to the ground, a large crowd is in front of a store as they watch an advertisement on the TVs facing the window showing off a spy drone.

TV AD: "New VoxTek designer voyeur scopes. Peeping on the neighbors has never been more stylish. VoxTek! Trust us with your money!"

Crowd immediately enters the store and stampedes out with boxes with voyeur scopes. After that, the scene then cuts to random people watching their computers laptops and phones.

TF AD: "This week's episode of 'Yeah, I Fucked Your Sister, So What?' is brought to you by VoxTek. Trust us with your entertainment!"

It soon reveals everyone has their eyes in a hypnosis like state as if they were all being mind controlled.

The scene shifts to tapping fingers as we enter a large room with TVs showing off numerous consumers as 'trust us' repeats and overlaps. It's soon revealed to be Vox himself as electricity courses through and he stands up from his chair laughing maniacally from his viewer's consumerism.

Vox: (evil laugh) "Muhahaha! Now that's good television!"

Suddenly his screen-face shifts to reveal an icon of Velvette, another one of them Vees, signifying she's calling, with a clown horn ringtone.

Vox courses the call from his screen to his hands his hand via his electric powers and transfers it to one of his many screens to reveal Velvette in her studio, her hair into a large ponytail. Vox then sits down on his chair.

Vox: (smiles) "Hello there, Velvette! How are you this hellish morning?"

Velvette: (annoyed glare) "Oh, cut the shit, Vox. I need you up here now!"

He looks to one of his screens as he gets his coffee cup and drinks from it. At the same time, he can hear the sounds of rage quit and violence from Velvette's background.

Vox: (smiles) "Whatever could be the problem, my dear?"

Velvette: (glares) "Your little boy toy is wrecking my department, while I'm trying to pull together a show and-"

Off-screen we see several workers running and screaming, and objects being tossed, as Valentino is heard cussing.

Valentino: (Background) "FUCKING BITCH!!!"

Velvette: (glares) "Just get your ass here! NOW! Damn it, Valentino!"

The call ends, and Vox's smile fades away as he gets up sighing, fixing up his bowtie.

Vox: (sighs and rolls eyes) Oh god. Here I go, Valentino. Just another fucking day with Val. Hey, hey, hey. Fuck my life."

He then walks up to a platform, which rises up.

========== (Scene Change) ==========

The scene cuts to an elevator with a smiling Cutout board of Vox with the world bubble saying, "Trust Us!", before opening to reveal a frowning Vox sighing. He then puts on a smile fora crowd of reporters that overlap one another before pointing their microphones to him.

Reporter: "Mr. Vox! What are your thoughts about the new extermination deadline?"

Vox: (smiles) "My dear people! We at VoxTek Enterprises have always been at the forefront of innovation. And now, with this new oncoming threat, we are shifting our focus, to your protection. We are pleased to announce-"

The screen zooms in on him and an AD featuring the VoxTek logo, now gold and with angelic wings, with the tagline reading 'Angelic Security Coming Soon'.

Vox: (smiles) "VoxTek Angelic Security is coming soon! Trust us, with YOUR safety."

He then uses his left eye to hypnotize the crowd the same way as his consumers.

Suddenly the Manager makes an appearance, catching Vox's attention.

Manager: (nervous) "Uh sir, when did we begin working on Angelic Security?"

Vox: "Thirty seconds ago."

He then begins walking off.

Vox: (glares) "Try to get that bitch Carmilla on the books and cancel all my appointments today. I have a fire to put out upstairs."

From there, Vox morphs his body into electricity and generates itself into the security camera on the wall.

========== (Scene Change) ==========

The scene changes to show Velvette's studio. The staff cleans everything up as she looks to four designers holding up dresses to show her.

Velvette: "Ugh. No."

Velvette: "Unacceptable."

Velvette: "You're fired."

Velvette: "What is this?"

Velvette: (glares) "WRIST RUFFLES?! Is this 1750?! Burn it like the witches who wore it!"

As she sends the designer away, Vox appears next to her.

Vox: (laughs and smiles) "Oh Velvette! I can see you're busy. Tell me, where's our hot-headed friend now?

Velvette: "Up in his room, waiting for a flat-faced prince to calm him down!"

Vox: (sighs) "And uh, what's got him so out of sorts today?"

Velvette: (annoyed glare) "Who knows?! But he tore up my best model!"

She grabs a severed arm and points the finger at Vox before throwing it away, presumably against a cat.

Velvette: (annoyed glare)"And you know, the show can't wait for that unlucky bitch to pull herself back together! Melissa! Get over here!"

Melissa gets onto the platform, and Velvette uses her overlord powers to change her outfit one after another until she spots the one she wants.

Velvette: "No. No. Hideous. I want to die. Eww. (gasp) Yes! That's the one."

Vox: (smiles) "Ahh, looks like you have everything under control here."

Velvette: "Of course, I do! Fuck you!"

She flips him off with his middle finger.

Velvette: "Now shoo! Take care of the piss baby!"

Vox goes upstairs and is greeted by two moth demons who open the door for him. Once he enters. he finds Valentino sitting on his couch surrounded by a fog of red smoke. When Val notices Vox, he sits up with fury in his eyes.

Valentino: "Fucking FINALLY! (throws drink) Kitty! Another drink!"

Beside him was a female Robo Fizzie.

She nods as it quickly heads off screen and re-appears with the drink.

Valentino: (glares) "Ugh! Can you believe what that piece of shit did? THE UNGRATEFUL WHORE!!!"

As he speaks, he tosses the drink at Vox, who moves away making the drink, hits the door, and shatters on the floor.

Vox: (raised eyebrow) "Uh, which whore are we talking about this time?"

Valentino: (glares) "Fucking Angel Dust!"

He gets up and walks over to Vox angrily.

Valentino: (glares) "Who the hell else would I be talking about?!"

Vox just points to himself until Valentino walks past him.

Valentino: (glares) "That fucking SLUT walked out on me!"

He turns to Vox and points to himself.

Valentino: (glares) "ME! I fucking made him!"

He walks a bit away after that.

Valentino: (glares) "Without me, he's just a bag of meat with some mildly entertaining holes."

Vox: (smiles) "Oh! Angel quit?"

Valentino: (glares) "NO! He didn't fucking quit! It's worse!"

The then takes Vox's phone.

Valentino: (glares) "He MOVED!!!"

As he says that, he tosses Vox's phone to the wall making it shatter in half.

Valentino: (glares) "He thinks he can just walk in here, work, and then go home somewhere else? Can you FUCKING believe that?!?!?!?!"

He then walks to his closet.

Valentino: (glares) "He thinks he can run off and shack up with Lucifer's BIMBO daughter!"

Vox turns to Valentino in surprise.

Vox: (surprised) "Angel is... living with Lucifer's daughter?"

Valentino: (glares) "YEAH! That BITCH Chuckie or Chandler, or I dunno. Something manish like that, she's got this hotel and-"

As he speaks, he opens the closet full of guns, drugs, and pictures including a poster of himself. Valentino brings up two long pistol guns: a long revolver and a semi-pistol.

Valentino: (smirks) "Which of these makes me look sexier? 

He turns back to the closet as Vox speaks up.

Vox: (smirks) "Heh. What are you doing, Val? You're not going over there."

As he speaks, his left eye started its hypnotizing spell, but Valentino is busy loading his guns.

Valentino: (glares) "That slippery twink is gonna remember who owns him. I'm gonna FUCK everyone in that rancid shit hole, I swear to God!"

Before he finishes, Vox grabs him by the collar and shoves him to his face, clearly furious.

Vox: (distorted tone) "VAL..."

He then calms down a bit before speaking normally.

Vox: "Hehe. Think about it."

Vox then walks Valentino towards the window as he explains the situation and takes one of his guns.

Vox: (smiles) "Our brand is perfection. And what do you think chasing whores around town will, do for our image?"

Valentino: (confused) "Um... fuck it up?"

Vox: (smiles) "Right! Do you want people thinking you can't control your employees?"

Valentino: (glares) "No!"

Vox: (smiles) "Exactly! And hey, you still have him under contract. He isn't going anywhere! SO... you should..."

Valentino: (confused) "Do nothing?"

The TV demon that slings an arm around the moth Demon and smiles as the sound of someone hitting the jackpot is heard.

Vox: (smiles) "Great idea! Now that's why they pay you the (pinches cheek) Big bucks."

Valentino: (scoffs) "Ugh. But I really wanted to shoot someone."

As he speaks, Valentino gets a cigarette holder, and Vox lights it with his electricity powers.

Vox: (smiles) "Well, lemme call up the lowest earners this month." 

He walks over to the TVs.

Valentino: (smirks) "Ohh, you know me too well."

He chuckles and blows out a smoke.

Valentino: (smirks) "Ya know... Angel isn't the only one spending time at this Ratty Hotel with the devil's princesa."

Vox: (disinterest) "Oh? Who else is there? Someone who, owes you money?"

Valentino: (chuckles) "Someone who owes us much more than money... the Radio Demon is there."

Upon hearing those words, electricity courses through Vox's head, and he scratches the desk so hard it leaves scratch marks. Vox made small ominous chuckles before turning to Valentino, two red lines appear on the left side of his lower lip.

Vox: (distorted chuckle) "What did you just say?"

Valentino: (smirks) "You heard me."

Vox: (angry smile) "Alastor..."

He walks up to him.

Vox: (angry smile) "... Came back...and he is with Lucifer's (glitched tone) daughter, and that wasn't the..."

Suddenly, Vox grabs Valentino by the collar

Vox: (furious glare) "FIRST FUCKING THING YOU TOLD ME?!?!?!"

Undeterred by the threat, Valentino frees himself from the grip.

Valentino: (smirks) "Hey! Killing Alastor is your kink."

As he speaks, he walks to the desk and turns on the television. Vox teleports to the center screen, which is a recording from a VoxTek Voyer scope.

========== (Scene Change) ==========

The scene, from a drone point of view, showing Alastor using his powers to attack Sir Pentious zeppelin, laughing as he hears Pentious screaming.

Sir Pentious: "Arrgh! Oh! Please! Stop!"

Charlie: (nervous smile) "Um...Alastor! I think he's had enough."

Shio: "Charlie he's not gonna listen."

He was right as Alastor began to laugh more maniacally.

Shio: (deadpanned) "See what I mean?"

Angel: (smiles) "Nah. He's got a few more hits in him."

As the group was speaking, Sir Pentious falls from the zeppelin in front of Alastor, face first on the ground. Alastor twirls his staff while still holding onto that smile.

Alastor: (smiles) "Thanks for another forgettable experience."

An Egg Boi falls and breaks into pieces in front of Charlie, something that disgusts her a bit. As for Sir Pentious, he wasn't done just yet.

Sir Pentious: "Thank you...for letting your guard down!"

Using his tail, he grabs and rips a bit of Alastor's suit, which was a HUGE mistake.

Sir Pentious: (laughs) "Haha! Yah!"

Soon a huge shadow looms over the snake sinner, making him realize his terrible mistake.

Sir Pentious: (wide eyes) "Oh, shit..."

Sir Pentious looks up to see Alastor's shadow transform in front of him and Alastor apparently makes an elk bugle. The next shot shows a massive green explosion as Sir Pentious is seen flying off to the city screaming as he disappeared from sight.

Alastor: (smiles) "Well, it looks as though I need a visit to the tailor! Best of luck, chums."

Vaggie: (glares) "Wait, you're LEAVING?! Alastor! We need your help! We need you to do your job."

Angel gestures to the hole in the wall.

Angel: "We need a wall."

Alastor: (smiles) "Of course! Can't let my new project fall into disrepair already. What would the papers say?!"

Shio: (sigh) "Just leave it to me."

Gathering energy into his right hand, Shio snaps his fingers, and the wall is repaired.

Shio: "It's done."

Alastor: (smiles) "Well now that's convenient. But there's still repairs that needs to be done so..."

With a snap of his fingers, black ink demons appear with construction tools as Alastor walks away. Angel takes an interest and looks at one of the larger muscular demons, shoving Vaggie away as he walks up to him.

Angel Dust: (giggles) "Hey, sweet cheeks. Whatcha doin' later? I love me a man with a giant... tool."

========== (Scene Change) ==========

The screen zooms out to reveal Valentino scowling at the current events, leaning his face against the screen.

Valentino: (scowls) "See?! Look how he flirts with that guy, and he's not even paying! Who is that? I'm gonna fucking kill his whole fucking family! Vox?"

He slams his fist on the table.

Valentino: (glares) "VOX!"

However, Vox wasn't paying any attention, as his left pupil turns into a tilde as he eyes Alastor leaving, his appearance static and out of focus as the screen becomes a bit static.

Vox: (glitches) "That FUCKER is back!"

(BGM: Stayed Gone)

https://youtu.be/6GvbdOL4GXo

The moth demon grins as he realizes the situation and walks to him.

Valentino: (grins) "Yeah! I thought he was gone for good too!"

Vox: (glares) "It's been seven years!"

Valentino leans up to him and pinches his cheek, Vox clearly pissed to care.

Valentino: (grins) "You still pissed that he almost beat you that time?"

Vox: (glares) "Uh, FUCK YOU."

The moth demon walks around him.

Valentino: (grins) "Just saying."

Vox: (glares then grins) "Things have changed a lot since he left town!"

Valentino: (grins) "THAT'S for sure."

Vox: (grins) "I gotta send a message of who's REALLY in charge of things now!"

Vox's face fills the screen as Valentino laughs in the background. The next shot shows Vox grinning as he marches to his chair within his lair.

Vox: "♫ Welcome home! ♫"

He's seen walking towards the control center to broadcast his message.

Vox: "♫ I'm gonna make you wish that you stayed gone! ♫"

As Vox sang, electricity courses through his arm as he sat down, and turns to face the numerous screens.

Vox: "♫ Say hello to a new status quo. ♫"

He presses a button, and cords latch themselves to the plug ins on the back of his head, connecting himself with the tv networks.

Vox: (smiles) "♫ Everyone knows that there's a brand, new dawn, turn the TV on! ♫"

Director: "Camera, speeds, rolling in three, two..."

Chorus: "♫ Welcome to the show! ♫"

The scene opens to show the logo 'BREAKING NEWS' before it shifts to Vox turning around to show him reporting on a news.

Vox: (smiles) "♫ Top of the hour and we're discussing a certain has-been who has been spotted cavorting around town after a seven-year absence. ♫"

A picture of Alastor is shown in a goofy way to make him look like trash.

Vox: (smiles) "♫ Did anybody miss him, did anybody notice? ♫"

"♫ More on tonight's program. ♫"

The scene shifts to show Vox on a TV series called 'Vox 2 Nite' and sitting in front of him looks to be a clone of himself.

Vox #1: (smiles) "♫ So, the Radio Demon is back in town! ♫"

Vox #2: (smiles) "♫ Why is he hanging around? ♫"

Vox #1: (smiles) "♫ What does that mean for your family? ♫"

"♫ Well, handily, I've got good news! ♫"

The scene shifts to Vox on a different screen.

Vox: (smiles) "♫ He's a loser, a fossil, and I don't mean to sound hostile ♫"

"♫ But the demon is a coward! ♫"

The scene shifts to show Vox wearing a Priest outfit on multiple TV screens while the one in the middle shows him wearing a red colored Pope outfit in the middle TV screen.

Vox: (smiles) "♫ You can take that as gospel. ♫"

"♫ Pulling my viewers? Impossible! ♫"

"♫ I'm visual, he's barely audible! ♫"

"♫ Stop giving him the time of day! ♫"

"♫ Don't listen to a word he'd say. ♫"

"♫ I hope he had a nice vacay! ♫"

"♫ But he should have stayed away! ♫"

The scene cuts to Alastor who had just finished getting his coat tailored. He notices the crowd watching the advertisement of Vox. He smiles and walks away with an idea. as Vox continues singing.

Vox: (smiles) "♫ While he hid in radio, we pivoted to video! ♫"

"♫ And now his medium is getting bloody rare! ♫"

Vox is seen pulling out a deer head from the oven.

In V Tower hallway. He twirls and then huddles with Valentino and Velvette.

Vox: (smiles) "♫ Hell's been better since he split. ♫"

"♫ Where's he been? ♫"

"♫ Who gives a shit?! ♫"

Just then, the scene cuts to Alastor making his reappearance, as he starts his radio broadcast from the Hazbin Hotel.

Alastor: (smiles) "♫ Salutations! ♫"

"♫ Good to be back on the air. ♫"

As soon as he's on air, the crowd of demon soon shift their attention towards a radio, much to Vox's annoyance since he can see everything.

Alastor: (smiles) "♫ Yes, I know it's been a while since someone with style treated Hell to a broadcast. ♫"

"♫ Sinners rejoice! ♫"

Vox: (glares) "♫ What a dated voice! ♫"

Alastor: (smiles) "♫ Instead of a clout chasing mediocre video podcast. ♫"

Vox: (glares) "COME ON!"

Alastor: ♫ Is Vox insecure, pursuing allure? ♫"

"♫ Flitting between this fad and that. ♫"

"♫ Is nothing working? ♫"

Vox: (glares) "IGNORE HIS CHIRPING!"

As the two screens are split, Vox tries to get a jump on the Radio Demon, only for him to fail.

Alastor: (smiles) "♫ Every day he's got a new format! ♫"

Vox: (glares) "YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE FUTURE!"

Multiple scenes of Vox are shown glaring at Alastor.

Vox: (glares) "♫ He's the shit that comes before that! ♫"

Alastor: (smiles) "♫ Is Vox as strong as he purports? ♫"

"♫ Or is it based on his support? ♫"

"♫ He'd be powerless without the other Vees! ♫"

The scene cuts to Valentino and Velvette listening to the broadcast and smirks at what they both hear while Vox gets angry.

Vox: (glares) "Oh, PLEASE."

Alastor: (smiles) "♫ And here's the sugar on the cream. ♫"

"♫ He asked ME to join this team! ♫"

Vox: (glares) "Hold on!"

Alastor: (smiles) "♫ I said no, and now he's pissy! That's the tea. ♫"

As Alastor continues with his radio broadcast; Vox was getting so pissed that his screen face was starting to glitch with anger rising.

Vox: (glitched tone) "♫ You old timey PRICK! I'll show you suffering! ♫"

Alastor: (smiles) "♫ Uh oh, the TV is buffering! ♫"

Vox couldn't handle his anger, causing him to overload his circuits with static electricity.

Vox: (Signal breaking up) "♫ I'LL DESTROY YOOOOU YOU LITTLE-♫"

The camera head could not get anything loaded, and Vox lets out an outburst.

The outburst was so bad that overloads everything from the TV screens to Valentino and Velvette's phone to everywhere in Pentagram City, causing a citywide blackout with the exception of the Hazbin Hotel.

Alastor: (smiles) "♫ I'm afraid you've lost your signal. ♫"

The scene then zooms into the Hazbin Hotel, and it shows the Radio Tower where Alastor is doing his live broadcast.

Alastor: (smiles) "♫ Let's begin. ♫"

The Radio Demon slowly turns into his true demon form with every sentence.

Alastor: (smiles) "♫ I'm gonna make you wish that I stayed gone! ♫"

"♫ Tune on in. ♫"

"♫ When I'm done, your status quo will know it's race is run! ♫"

"♫ Oh, this will be fun! ♫"

Alastor makes one last evil laugh before cutting off Vox's signal throughout the city.

This action leaves the Overlord dismayed that Alastor is still popular and powerful than last time.

Vox: (despair) "FUUUUUCK!"

(Background Music Ends)

========== (Scene Change) ==========

After the incident of Alastor's return, an emergency meeting with Vox, Velvette, and Valentino are seen discussing a matter with Alastor as the Robo-Fizz called Kitty passes out drinks to each of them.

Vox: (glares) "We have a problem. Alastor is getting close to little princess Morningstar, so our main concern now is ensuring that no deal is ever struck between Lucifer's (slams the table) BRAT and that smiling freak!"

Velvette: "Well, how exactly are we supposed to stop it?"

Valentino was seen putting so much glue on his revolver in order to decorate it with glitter and marbles.

Valentino: (smirks) "Put something inside them. That's how I get the bitches to behave."

Vox: (narrowed eyes) "Well, maybe someone on the inside isn't such a bad idea. Do you think Angel would?"

Valentino: (scoff) "That lanky prick won't even return my calls."

Vox: "We need someone who Little Miss Bleeding Heart would take in."

Velvette: "Someone...pathetic, desperate, with no direct ties to us?"

Valentino: "I employ every down on their luck loser this side of Hell. Who the fuck is left?"

Vox: (scoffs and grins) "I think...I have JUST the one."

As Vox slowly turns around, his right-hypnotic eye gleams with a sinister grin for a plan he has in stored. However, just before they could put their plan into motion, Velvette then spoke up.

Velvette: "Before we do that, I believe there's another issue we need to solve."

Vox: "And what would that be?"

Velvette: "Do you remember a week ago when that bratty Princess made that live broadcast of her hotel and how Angel was in the turf war? 

Vox: (raised eyebrow) "Yeah? So?"

Velvette: "Well I'm sure you also remember on the news on how there was a 'human' here and then transformed into that armor. Take a look."

She pulls on the screen of footage of Shio in the turf war and how he soon transformed into Ohma Zi-O. Both Vox and Valentino grimaced at the reminder. When they watched the news and saw that 'human' transform, not only were they shocked, but they were forced to fall on their knees due to the massive, godly power that emanated from him. The three V felt like they were being crushed and found it hard to breath until the fighting was over. 

Never before have they been terrified and are shocked at the massive power Shio had unleashed. By the time the fighting had been over, and Shio disappeared, the Vs went right to work in order to locate this person. They had two options at the time which were either to recruit him or kill him before he becomes a threat.

Valentino: "Yes we've all seen what he's capable off. Especially with what he's done to Sir Pentious."

The Moth demon pulls out a remote and plays another video showing Shio once again transforming into Ohma Zi-O and absolutely recking Sir Pentious with just the wave of his hand. Needless to say, they were honestly shocked and horrified to see the level of power Shio could unleash and they know he can probably kill them quite easily.

Vox: "What the point of all this Velvette?"

Velvette: "The point I'm trying to make here Vox is that he's allied himself with the Princess. With him there, he might sabotage our plans."

The TV demon widens his eyes before muttering angrily knowing she's right.

Vox: (mutters) "Well shit... you think our inside man can still do the job?"

Velvette: (scoff) "I doubt it. But it's not like we have a choice."

Eventually the three Vs still continued to agree to the plan, hoping they can still deal with Alastor before he becomes a problem. At the same time, they also hope they can stop Shio before he also become a much bigger problem when it comes to Hell's hierarchy, not knowing that'll be far easier said than done.

========== (Scene Change) ==========

Meanwhile, back at the Hotel, the ink demons are seen fixing the damages to the Hotel as Charlie, Shio, and Vaggie return. Charlie throws herself onto a couch, exhausted.

Angel: (smirks) "Soooo? How'd it go?"

Vaggie: (sigh) "Not a single new recruit."

Angel: "Yeah well, who would wanna use their last days not fucking and fighting?"

As Angel check on his phone, both Vaggie and Shio hear a knock on the front door. Glancing at each other, the pair walk over to it and Vaggie opens the door, only to find Sir Pentious holding his hat.

Sir Pentious: (smiles) "Why, hello my dear-"

Before he could finish, he was cut off by Vaggie punching him in the face. He falls when Vaggie brought out her spear at him. Sir Pentious cowers in fear with the tip barely at his neck and held a peace sign gesture.

Sir Pentious: (nervous smile) "Wait, wait, wait! I come in peace."

He then let's out an 'EEP!' when Shio points the barrel of Zikan Girade (Zyu Mode) directly at his face.

Shio: (glares) "What are you doing here?"

Just then, Charlie appears behind Vaggie and Shio.

Charlie: "Vaggie? Shio? What's the problem? (gasps and smiles) Oh! Hello again!"

Both Shio and Vaggie back away as Sir Pentious tries to explain himself.

Sir Pentious: (nervous) "I didn't come looking for a fight. I uhh... I heard that you're helping people, people who want to be better?"

Charlie lets out a gasp and runs over to grabs his hand as she leads him to the door of the hotel.

Charlie: (gasps) "You heard right! Welcome to our home of healing, our resort of restoration, our-"

Just as they were about to enter, Angel Dust appears from the door and cuts off Charlie.

Angel: (glares) "Are you fucking nuts? This chump was trying to kill us like literally 6 hours ago! And now you wanna bring him in here to live with us?"

Charlie: (smiles) "Absolutely! This place is about second chances, and who deserves one more than this slithery... slippery... special little man!"

He then glances at both Shio and Vaggie.

Angel Dust: (glares) "Aren't you both supposed to protect this place?"

Just as the two could respond, Charlie gives her puppy-dog eyes, begging both Shio and Vaggie to give Sir Pentious a chance to live in the hotel.

Seeing this, the two shared a glance before lowering their weapon and giving in to Charlie's demands.

Vaggie: (sigh) "I guess he's not much of a threat without the war machine."

Sir Pentious' cobra head lifts with anticipation.

Shio: "Or even with the war machine."

His cobra head flaps down with depression, sighing.

Charlie was so happy that she hugs Shio first before hugging Vaggie, lifting her up in the process and twirling around once.

Charlie: (smiles) "Oh! Thank you thank you thank you thank you!"

The Princess then goes over to the snake Demon to welcome him.

Charlie: (smiles) "Sir Pentious! Welcome to the Hazbin Hotel!"

The Princess leads the Snake Demon to the door inside of the hotel.

Sir Pentious: (smiles) "Oh no darling! Thank you! You won't regret this."

Angel Dust looks at Sir Pentious with suspicion before shrugging.

Angel: (shrugs) "Eh, I give you a week, tops."

Once inside, Charlie is seen giving Sir Pentious the tour of the hotel, introducing Husk to him, the wall he blew up before it was fixed.

Charlie: (smiles) "So, this is the bar and the bartender. This is the curtain, and this is the new wall after you broke the last one, heh, and oh! Oh! This is the-"

Before she could continue, Vaggie grabs Charlie to calm her down again.

Vaggie: (deadpanned) "Babe, you don't have to show him every detail."

Charlie: "Sorry, I'm just so excited to have our first real guest!"

Angel: "Uh, what the hell am I then?"

Charlie: (smiles) "Well, you're an important part of our family here Angel, but you uhm, uh..."

Vaggie: (annoyed) "Constantly make us look bad, sexually harass the staff, and have literally never once tried to improve?"

Shio: (sighs and rolls eyes) "Not the words I'd go for but you're not wrong."

Charlie: (smiles) "What she means is, it's just nice to have someone interested for once."

As Charlie comes back to Sir Pentious, Angel Dust was having doubts, looking a bit upset of everything Vaggie described him to be.

Niffty was playing Keekee with a string when Charlie and Sir Pentious approached them. Keekee hissed at the sight of Sir Pentious and scatters away while Niffty turns around to meet him.

Charlie: "Over here we have our maid Niffty."

Niffty: (gasps) "The bad boy is back!"

She gets up on Sir Pentious and holds his collars, looking at him with insanity in her red eye and a very sadistic smile, which creeps out the snake demon.

Niffty: (creepy whisper) "Never leave me again."

Charlie: (nervous smile) "We're about 80% sure she's harmless, and over here we have-"

As she was walking, she nearly bumps into Alastor.

Charlie: (smiles) "Oh! Uh, Alastor! Our gracious facility manager! You've met our newest guest Sir Pentious... hehe..."

Alastor: (smiles) "Ah yes! You're the one who ruined my coat!"

His eyes glow red in the dark with a violent temptation to rip him a part.

Alastor: (sinister tone) "I definitely remember you now."

Sir Pentious gulps nervously. Thankfully Shio helped him when he smacked the Radio demon on the back of the head.

Shio: (glares) "Play nice. I get that you don't like the guy, but right now we don't need you to start a massacre."

Alastor: "Hmph. Fine."

Charlie: "Well, I guess this is a great time for your first lesson!"

She clears her throat. 

Charlie: (smiles) "'How to apologize!' The first step to becoming a better person is to admit when you are wrong, why don't you give it a try?"

She gently pushed the snake demon forward.

Sir Pentious: (nervous smile) "Yes... uhm... Mr. uhm... Radio Demon sir, please forgive me for attacking you and ruining your very lovely coat... uhm... here."

As a token of apology, Sir Pentious hands back the small fabric he tore off from Alastor's coat. Alaster takes it and inspects the damage.

Alastor: (smiles) "Ah-Ho! Not many people have been able to take even this much off me, it must have meant quite a lot to you."

Despite being generous, Alastor burns the fabric tear in green flames, leaving Sir Pentious, Shio, and Charlie stunned.

Shio: "...... Well, that was a bust."

========== (Scene Change) ==========

The scene cuts to a group gathering introducing Sir Pentious to the hotel.

Charlie: (smiles) "Now, with a new resident, I think it's important we all get to know each other! So, we are going to play a little game. Everyone, follow me. My name is Charlie (claps twice) I like to sing! (claps twice) and when we get to know each other it's the greatest thing! (claps twice)."

Sir Pentious: (confused and nervous) "My name's Sir Pentious (claps twice) I like to build (claps twice) and despite my stupid Egg Bois, I think I'm very skilled! (claps twice)."

When it was Angel's turn, he looked disinterested, looking up from his phone.

Angel: (annoyed) "This is stupid."

Charlie: (nervous smile) "This is not stupid! (claps twice) It's just a game! (claps twice) Sir Pentious did it well so now please try to do the same! (claps twice)."

Angel: (annoyed) "I am too sober for this."

Vaggie: "Well, get used to it and learn how to play, this is gonna be your whole day! (claps twice)."

Shio: (shrugs) "I mean... you might as well give it a try. (claps twice)."

========== (Scene Change) ==========

The next scene cuts to a role-playing with Angel Dust wearing a trench coat and a hat while he reads a script. Sir Pentious was also role-playing as an innocent child wearing a sailor suit, licking a lollipop. As for the Kamen Rider watching this, although he can understand what this exercise is for, even he couldn't help but find this ridiculous.

Angel: (annoyed) "'Oh, I'm a bad man on the streets who never got enough hugs, now, where's an innocent kid I can sell crack to?' Wow, who wrote this?"

Shio glances at Charlie since he knows she's the culprit.

Charlie: (smiles) "It's great right? Keep going!"

The Porn Star glances at Charlie before looking back at Sir Pentious.

Angel: "Hey you."

Sir Pentious: (innocent smile) "Who, me?"

Angel looks back on the script.

Angel: "'Yeah, you look like a kid who could use some... devil's dandruff?' Oh, for fuck's sake."

Sir Pentious: (smiles) "Not me! I have to go home and study!"

Angel: "Come on kid, it'll make you cool like me...the crackhead."

Sir Pentious: (smiles) "The only cool thing here is to say no to drugs! Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to not have sexual intercourse before marriage!"

As soon as he finishes, Charlie stands up and claps in congratulations for Sir Pentious.

Charlie: (smiles) "Yes! Oh bravo! Bravo! (chuckles) Wow Pentious! At this rate, you'll be redeemed in no time."

For some reason, this made Angel look guilty as he looked away before speaking up.

Angel: "I... I'm going to bed."

As he leaves and heads back up to his room, he overhears Charlie congratulating Sir Pentious.

Charlie: (smiles) "I am so proud of you Sir Pentious! That was amazing!"

Sir Pentious: (smiles) "Thank you! Thank you! You like me! You really like me!"

However, when Angel was gone, Shio watched him with concerned eyes. He stood up, catching everyone's attention.

Shio: "It's getting a bit late. I'm gonna rest up too."

Charlie: "Oh well okay. See you tomorrow!"

The Kamen Rider nods as he heads upstairs.

========== (Scene Change) ==========

In Angel's room, Fat Nuggets is asleep on his bed until Angel accidentally throws his coat on top of him. Fat Nuggets grunts and crawls out of the coat as he watches Angel lie down on his bed. Angel looks at his phone and sees all his voice mails from Valentino. He sighs and begins to play them. Valentino's voice mails switch back and forth between a friendly, apologetic tone and a barrage of screams threatening violence.

Valentino (voice message):

"Angel baby, come home! It's not the same without you here, I miss you! Come back-"

"ANGEL, YOU BITCH! IF YOU DON'T COME HOME, YOU'LL BE FUCKING GREASY TRUCKERS FOR THE NEXT YEAR-"

"Hey, amorcito, I didn't mean to yell, but you know how crazy you make me-"

"YOU FUCKING SLUT!"

"Hey, Angie! About earlier-"

"-KILL YOUR WHOLE FUCKIN' FAMILY!"

"Work's really stressful!"

"-LITTLE COCKSUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!"

Just then, in an echo of Valentino's voice is heard, speaking to Angel in a dead serious tone while mocking him.

Valentino Echo: (dead serious) "You actually think you can change?"

Soon red smoke appears out of Angel's phone and begins to surround him.

Valentino Echo: (dead serious) "Addict trash like you doesn't change. I'll see you soon, baby."

Angel sighs as Fat Nuggets gets on the bed next to him.

Angel: "Sorry, not now, Fat Nuggets."

Angel gets up and leave his room with Fat Nuggets looking worried.

========== (Scene Change) ==========

Meanwhile, Shio was listening in on Angel and he heard all of the messages sent by his 'Boss'. The Kamen Rider narrows his eyes in anger as it was clear that Angel was not only abused, but after learning about his occupation, he was also sexually abused and assaulted multiple times. 

He knows this because he used his powers to look into his past and saw all the horrible things he's been put through. Although Shio wanted to help, he knew that now wasn't the time and that he couldn't help Angel in the situation he was in... for now anyway.

Suddenly Shio hears Angel coming and he disappears before he spotted him.

========== (Scene Change) ==========

Later Angel is seen at Husk's bar and starts drinking alcohol. As he was making his way back, he notices a slithering noise.

Angel: (confused) "Huh?"

Following the noise, he finds Charlie's office door opened and takes a peek inside. There, he discovers that Sir Pentious is setting up a small camera in one of the bookshelves, a camera that belong to Vox. Seeing this made him realize what he was doing and slams the door open.

Angel: (glares) "You slippery little shit!"

Sir Pentious screams in terror that he's been caught. Angel walks up to him as he accuses the sinner.

Angel: (glares) "You're working for the Vees? I fucking knew there was something shitty about you."

Sir Pentious: (glares) "I don't know what you're talking about! (smirks) ...whore bug!"

This ticks off Angel and tackles Sir Pentious on the ground. He punches him in the face before wrestling with him.

Sir Pentious: (glares) "Get your aggressively average body... OFF OF ME!"

Sir Pentious's eyes spiral hypnotic powers to him. Angel becomes hypnotized and forces him to back away.

Angel: "Fuck!"

He then quickly snaps out of it and soon has Sir Pentious cornered. Right then, Charlie, Vaggie, and Shio woke up after hearing the scuffle.

Charlie: (yawns) "What's going on?"

Angel: (glares) "This little bitch is a traitor!"

Sir Pentious: (smiles) "Preposterous! I would never betray you. You... are my best friends!"

He goes over and then hugs both girls.

Angel: "Uh huh, then explain this!"

The Spider Sinner lifts off one of the books to reveal a camera, much to Charlie's shock. Before Sir Pentious could react, he was suddenly grabbed by the neck and lifted off from the ground by Shio. Glaring angrily at him, he knees Sir Pentious in the gut, causing him to cough in pain before throwing him across the room. Realizing that his cover was blown scurries away. He brings out his wristwatch to make contact with Vox while trying to open a window.

Sir Pentious: (panics) "Ah! Ah! Abort! Abort! S.O.S! Agent Pentious in need of immediate evacuation!"

Immediately Vox picks up.

Vox: (confused then smirks) "Pentious? Wait... you were caught?!? It hasn't even been a day!"

Sir Pentious: (panics) "Please! You've got to get me out of here!"

Shio: (glares) "Oh I don't think so."

Suddenly the Kamen Rider grabs Sir Pentious by the back of his shirt and throws him onto the ground before planting his foot on his chest in order to prevent him from escaping. Shio then summons to power of Kamen Rider Geats as its symbol appears behind him.

[Geats! Geats Buster QB9!]

Outstretching his hand, Shio manifests the Geats Buster QB9 (Railgun Mode).

He then aims the barrel of the gun directly at Sir Pentious' head as Vox laughs and mocks the snake demon.

Vox: (laughs) "I can't believe we thought you could handle even something this simple. Do us a favor, if they don't kill you, go ahead and do it yourself! You miserable failure!"

As soon as Vox ended the call, Sir Pentious began to cry due to the hurtful words.

Sir Pentious: (cries) "I... I... just make it quick I guess...not that I deserve it."

His body stops moving and Sir Pentious looks away with his eyes closed, awaiting his death. Shio was about to pull the trigger until his eyes landed on Charlie who's looking at him anxiously. Suddenly, the Kamen Rider began to hesitate as he begins to see just how wrong this all is. However, he was interrupted when Vaggie called him out.

Vaggie: (glares) "Hey what are you waiting for? Finish him off already!"

Angel: (glares) "Yeah! Kill that annoying prick and be done with it!"

He glances at Vaggie and Angel before he glances at Sir Pentious' pitiful form, eyes closed and waiting for death. Memories began to flood his mind about when he was forced to execute his enemies in a gruesome way. The difference was they were too far gone to be saved and he had to put them down permanently. However, he saw that Sir Pentious, despite his past actions against them, has the capacity to change and do better.

Shio Thoughts: "Strong enough... to be gentle."

Deciding to make a choice, Shio sighs as he lowers his gun and steps off him while backing away a bit.

Shio: (sigh) "... No... there's a better way than this... I will not be his executioner."

Seeing this shocked Vaggie and Angel, but Charlie smiled in happiness seeing that Shio chose mercy over murder. However, this made Vaggie angry and decided to finish him off herself.

Vaggie: (glares) "Fine, if you won't do it, then I will."

Just as Vaggie was about to put him out of misery, Charlie stops her.

Charlie: "Wait."

She gets Vaggie to lower her spear and when walks over to the snake demon, offering her hand to him.

 Charlie: "Pentious?"

(BGM: It Starts With Sorry)

https://youtu.be/rE9kDmXe56A

Charlie: (smiles) "♫ It starts with sorry, that's your foot in the door. ♫"

She gently grabs him and helps him up.

Charlie: (smiles) "♫ One simple sorry, spoken straight from your core. ♫"

She begins dancing as the floor sparkles in a pink substance as hearts of smoke appear.

Charlie: (smiles) "♫ The path to forgiveness, is a twisting trail of hearts! ♫"

Now on the other side, Charlie smiles back at him and walks towards with her arms open.

Charlie: (smiles) "♫ But sorry is where it starts! ♫"

Sir Pentious: (guilty tone) "♫ Who could forgive a dirtbag like me? ♫"

"♫ I don't deserve your amnesty. ♫"

Angel comes with dual Tommy submachine guns in both hands with Vaggie tailing behind with her spear.

Angel and Vaggie: (glares) "♫ Can't we just kill him? ♫"

"♫ Shoot him and spill his blood? ♫"

The snake sinner backs away in fear as the two looked they were ready to kill him, only to be stopped when Shio stood in front of them to stop them from making a mistake.

Charlie: (nervous smile) "♫ That's an option you could choose. ♫"

Angel and Vaggie: (glares) "♫ Works for us. ♫"

However, Shio believes that there is enough fighting and switches the Geats Buster QB9 to blade mode.

[Blade!]

The Kamen Rider slashes at their weapons, destroying them. They're shocked as Shio glares at them.

Shio: (glares) "♫ That's enough for the fighting is done. ♫"

Charlie walks over and puts her hands on their shoudlers.

Charlie: (smiles) "♫ But who hasn't been in his shoes? It starts with sorry. ♫"

She offers her hand and Sir Pentious takes it as the Princess helps pull her up.

Sir Pentious: "♫ Sorry. ♫"

Soon the two begin dancing as they make their way over to Angel, Vaggie, and Shio.

Charlie: (smiles) "♫ Dig down deeper and say one sincere sorry! ♫"

Sir Pentious: "♫ I'm so sorry! ♫"

He falls in a damsel way as Vaggie and Angel catch him.

Charlie: (smiles) "♫ And your journey's underway! ♫"

As the two dance, memories of Sir Pentious are shown in the background, detailing his life and what he's been through in Hell.

Charlie and Sir Pentious: (smiles) "♫ It'll take time to cover your/my vast multitude of sins ♫"

In the background, a firework is fired which reveals the word 'SORRY' as the song ends.

Charlie and Sir Pentious: (smiles) "♫ But sorry is where it begins. It starts with sorry. ♫"

(Background Music Ends)

As the song ends, Niffty was also awake, but she was disappointed that Sir Pentious isn't whom she thought he would be which was a bad boy.

Niffty: (glares) "I hated that song! Why are you so lame?!"

She kicks him on the body and walks away.

Niffty: (glares) "Not a bad boy."

As for Charlie, she happily sighs as Vaggie, Angel, and Shio go next to her.

Charlie: (happy sigh) "Good first day! Let's get some rest!"

Soon everyone begins to walk away. As for Shio, just as he was about to go back to his room, he was pulled aside by Angel who gave him a serious look.

Angel: (serious glare) "Why did you spare him and prevent us from killing the guy? You know how much trouble he caused? For all we know, he could be lying and faking it, all just to lower our guard and then he'd destroy the Hotel."

Shio: "I don't believe so. It's gonna be hard, I know. But I think with Charlie's help, she'll be able to turn him around and get him to change for the better."

Angel: (serious glare) "Oh yeah? And how do you know?"

The Kamen Rider was silent, and he closed his eyes. Exhaling through his nose, he opens his eyes and answers him.

Shio: "When I held him at gunpoint, I didn't see a monster who deserved death, but a man filled with genuine regret and sorrow. For me, I saw someone who had the potential to change their ways and I took it. Despite what he's done, he does deserve punishment. But it has to be done the right way. After that, we work with redeeming him because I believe he now wishes to give this Hotel a chance."

Angel: (serious glare) "And if he isn't? If he really is faking it?"

Shio: (glares) "Then we'll deal with him accordingly. But I have a feeling that won't be necessary in the long run. Regardless, we are NOT killing him. Charlie's right. This is a place meant to give second chances for those who truly deserve it and Sir Pentious is one of those sinners. As such, I wasn't going to be his executioner."

Angel: (glares) "Why? So, you can prove you're better than him?"

Shio: "It's not about being better. Execution is the first step to becoming a true monster. I have decided to choose a different path. One where we can end our differences peacefully without the need to destroy each other. There's another way without the need to spill blood. And I see that Charlie has the right idea."

Hearing Shio's explanation stunned Angel. He wanted to make a comeback, but he couldn't However, there was one more thing the Gay Porn Star wished to say to him.

Angel: (glares) "Why? Why do you believe he can change? As a matter of fact, why to do believe so much in Charlie's dream that sinners can redeem themselves and get redemption? Why are you supporting a dream that's obviously going to fail in the end. Just...why? It doesn't make sense."

Shio was silent as he contemplated the words to say. Eventually, after a few more seconds, he sighs and gives Angel his answer.

Shio: (sighs) "It's because I've learned years ago, no matter how evil or monstrous one's actions are, I know for a fact that everyone has the capacity to change for the better. Sure, I know that not everyone deserves a second chance, and they may indeed deserve the death penalty. But I do know that there are those who deserve to be given the chance to make things right. That also includes Sir Pentious."

Angel: "You really think that?"

Shio: (nods) "Yes I do. I do indeed believe that people have the capacity to change for the better... even you Angel."

Hearing the last part causes Angel to widen his eyes. As he stood there, Shio said, 'Good Night' and begins walking back to his room. Meanwhile, Angel was left with his own thoughts about what the Kamen Rider had told him before eventually going back to his room as well.

========== (Scene Change) ==========

Back in the Office where the wristwatch communicator still was, Alastor appears from the shadow of the dark hallway with a smile. He comes and picks up the watch before contacting Vox on the watch.

Vox: (glares) "WHAT?!?!"

Vox paused when he realizes that it was Alastor who was calling him, showing fear in his screen face as Alastor laughs evilly.

Alastor: (evil laugh) "You'll have to try harder than that next time ol' pal!"

With a maniacal laughter, Alastor crushed the watch with his bare head, and the only sound Vox makes was a raging scream before Alastor retreats back into the darkness, as the episode ends.

==========

(A/N: Chapter's done! Sorry, there wasn't much action for Shio but since he knows about Valentino, he'll eventually meet the Moth Demon and make him wish he'd never mess with Angel or his friends.)
