Fall of Valentino

Angel Dust was done putting up with Valentino's abuse. Since day one, he had been used, manipulated, and ridiculed. And things had gone too far. Despite being Hell, there were morals and a distinction between acceptable and nonacceptable behavior. But all that ended starting today. Angel had rallied his coworkers to stand with him against their tyrannical boss. He knew he wasn't the only one who hated their boss. Now that he had backup, it was time to plan. Angel phoned in a little favor with his friend and asked to use a meeting room for an hour the following day.

Everyone showed up. Angel took the lead and welcomed everyone as a maid brought refreshments. The first thing was to remember that Valentino was an overlord. Overthrowing him wasn't going to be easy. But it was possible. Next was gathering information. Everyone was weak to something. They'd have the upper hand if they could find what could bring Valentino to his knees. But it wasn't like he kept a diary or blog. There was one thing, however. He was a moth demon. And moths were naturally drawn to fire. By extension, it should be possible to burn him to death. But that was too good for him. Burning him alive was better. He needed to suffer.

The following week, Angel and his coworkers put the plan into action. Once the final curtain fell, it was go time. While he kept Valentino's attention, they got everything ready outdoors. It wasn't hard as his favorite entertainer. As they chatted, Angel lured his boss out of his office and outside. There was a beautiful bonfire pit. The embers were glowing. Valentino gazed at the sight. He was mesmerized. On Angel's signal, everyone else rushed forward and shoved their dictatorial boss into the flames. If insects could scream, there was no way to describe it. Thanks to having extra arms, Angel had no trouble holding Valentino down. He grinned as the flamed licked him head to toe.

After some time, Angel and the others dragged their dick of a boss back inside. It was time for some change. First, Angel took a spare cloak and shades. From now on, he was in charge. His coworkers tied Valentino up as he kicked back in the comfy office chair. There was a saying in the living world: an eye for an eye. So, it seemed fitting to let him feel all the pain he had inflicted on his employees. But that could wait. With a grin, Angel picked up the phone and put a word in with 666 News. It wasn't every day an overlord got their entitled ass handed to them. This was huge. But there wasn't time to get cocky. Angel gave everyone permission to do as they pleased with Valentino for now. But not to rough him up too much. They'd get plenty of time for that later. They didn't need to be told twice and hurried out. Angel laughed at the sight. Without wasting time, he started listing what to do with Porn Studios. Things were going to be very different now.
