Loona the Caretaker

Home Is In Hell

Cody was looking over in the horizon in the afterglow of victory. Despite many of Belmont's followers now being in Hell, there were a few crazy people in Cody's hometown that were still brainwashed by Belmont's crazy belief that Lucifer probably forgot to take with him for eternal torture.

However, the numbers were only in the tens and were taken in custody by the authorities, and sent to funny farms for... mental relaxation.

"You have fought hard, Cody." Jesus smiled. "You stood your ground and didn't give up in your time of peril." The son of God looked proud of the boy after everything.

"Thanks, Jesus." Said Cody. "But... I killed some people. A few that I have known in my life." Then he sat on the knoll he was on. "It looks like I'm not pure anymore."

Jesus, being a loving and compassionate man he was, sat next to Cody to provide some comfort for him. "Loona is right what she said before. You were only trying to fight to stay alive. And, while I may not like violence in any way, you saved the people that were influenced under Belmont... in a way."

"Save?" Cody looked at him. "But how can I save those people if they are now going to be tormented in Hell forever?"

"Ah, but only Belmont's closest followers like Fletus will suffer eternal damnation with their former master. But, most of them will have the opportunity to visit the Happy Hotel."

"Happy Hotel?" Asked The kid, trying to remember what that place was.

"You know," said a female voice. It was the daughter of Hell's king herself, Charlie.

"Charlie?" Asked Cody. "What are you doing here?"

"I came to see if you were alright. Daddy told me about what happened, and how this fucking crazy priest was trying to kill an innocent boy like you." Then she felt a little nervous around the Lion of Judah. "Ummm, so... you're Jesus?"

Letting out a small chuckle, Jesus replied as he got up. "That I am." The. He walked over to Lucifer's daughter. "I have heard a great deal about you, Charlie Magne."

"You've heard of my Happy Hotel?"

"Yes. It is an interesting idea to help reform calmed souls from Hell to live better lives." Jesus smiled down at her. "It is quite a noble accomplishment that you are trying to fulfill."

Charlie smiled wide and was glad to have such praise from Jesus himself. "Thank you, Lord." She said. "But I don't know if it will work on everyone."

"Alas," said Jesus. "Like I have mentioned to Cody, you cannot save everyone."

"True. And it's not like a whole lot of those crazy townspeople are going to be staying at my hotel for a while."

"Hey, Cody." Zakk and his friends went up to the kid with a fresh set of clothes. "You might wanna do us a favor, and... put some clothes on, brother."

"Oh. Right." The boy said, realizing he was still only wearing a loin cloth like Tarzan.

"Thank you for telling us all this, father." Zakk said to the Lion of Judah. "Me and my crew went quite through a fight here, but we pulled through."

"You are welcome, Zakk." Jesus said to him. "I would do anything for my loyal followers that love me."

"Wait, you asked Zakk, Dario, John, and Jeff?" Cody realized

"Of course. Zakk Wylde is a true Christian after all. Not like Belmont and his followers." The lion of Judah clarified. "I knew that you all needed a little more help, for that; I asked Black Label Society to lend you all a helping hand by my father."
