Inmate 666 entered his hotel room, feeling grateful that he was finally staying in a room instead of a cell for a living.

The walls were painted rose red, with the frame of the windows and bed made of mahogany. It reminded him of his lovely home back in New Orleans.

He didn't want to admit it, but the Radio Demon deeply missed William. Not the tyrannically power-hungry demon, the little boy he once called 'son'.

Inmate 666 walked around the room, looking for anything that might catch his eye. However, there was nothing he could find that would occupy himself with, so he decided to look at the mirror in the corner of his room.

This mirror seemed bigger and more intriguing than the others he'd seen. The frame had intricate patterns all over it. How strange... the demon had indeed recognised these patterns before, but when and where?

"Seems like you haven't forgotten about me."

Inmate 666 widened his eyes and jumped, snapping his head back to spot where the voice came from.

"What are you doing here?" He growled with annoyance and fear, despite his smile never faltering. "What do you want from me?!"

"Oh, I was just checking in on my dear little brother! I heard you got a new name. What was it? Ah, Inmate 666? How boring!" The voice cackled. "Do you really think the other Overlords would take you seriously with THAT name?"

The Radio Demon glanced at the mirror. The shadow stood behind him with an eerie smile.

"I'm not your 'little brother' anymore, so you can shove off!" His pupils started to turn into radio dials, the lights in the room flickering.

The shadow's smile faltered with annoyance, however it continued to laugh.

"Oh, how cute. You're angry." Said the shadow. "But you also forget that I'm the one in control."

A chain appeared around Inmate 666's neck and the shadow pulled it, causing the deer demon to choke and tumble backwards. He winced at the impact, before opening his eyes to look at the shadow with fear.

"Leave me alone." Inmate 666's smile faltered, despite his best attempt to stay calm.

The shadow knelt down to stare into his eyes with a wide smirk.

"Oh, I can't. You forget that I'm stuck inside you." The shadow pointed to its head. "Did you actually forget the events that led up to ALL this?"

The Radio Demon lunges at the shadow, his voodoo minions distracting the latter.

"If you don't stop right this instant, I'll have no choice but to punish you." A voice screamed in the Radio Demon's mind, but the latter did not falter at all and continued to advance.

The shadow pulled the chain, Inmate 666 falling forward and landing with a loud thump.

???:
Do you really think that I would ever let you go?
Do you really think I'd ever set you free?

The mark on Inmate 666's face grew and spread throughout his body more, bit by bit.

???:
If you do I'm sad to say, it isn't simply so!
You will never get away from me!

Inmate 666:
All that you are is a face in the mirror!
I close my eyes and you'll disappear!

???:
I'm what you face when you face in the mirror!
As long as you live, I will still be here!

Inmate 666:
All that you are is the end of a nightmare!
All that you are is a dying scream!
After tonight, I shall end this demon dream!

The shadow cackled, tightening its grip on the chain.

???:
This is not a dream, my friend!
And it will never end!
This one is the nightmare that goes on!

The shadow morphs into a tall lady with red eyes and sharp teeth.

Roo:
Roo is here to stay, my friend!
No matter what you may pretend.
And she'll flourish long after you're done!

Inmate 666 clenches his fists and stands up.

Inmate 666:
Soon you will die and my kin will bury you!
You cannot choose but to loose control!

Roo cackles louder, amused at the Radio Demon's words.

Roo:
You can't control me.
I live deep inside you!
Each day you'll feel me corrupt your poor soul!

Inmate 666:
I don't need you to survive like you need me!
I'll become whole as you dance with death!
And I'll rejoice as you fade away to ash!

Roo smirks and morphs back into a shadow, plunging herself back into Inmate 666's mind to subject and control him.

Roo:
I'll live inside you forever!

Inmate 666:
No!

Roo:
With all seven rings there by my side!

Inmate 666:
NO!

Roo:
I know that now and forever...
They'll never be able to separate
Alastor and Roo!

Inmate 666 manages to gain control of his mind, despite the unbearable amount of pain he was going through. He grabs an angelic spear from his suitcase, pointing the blade to his chest.

Inmate 666:
Can't you see it's over now?!
It's time to die!

Roo chuckles, regaining control.

Roo:
No, not I, only you!

Inmate 666:
If I die, you die too!

Roo:
You'll die, and me?
I'll be you!

Inmate 666 widens his eyes in horror, dropping the spear to the floor.

Inmate 666:
Damn you, Roo!
Leave me be!

Roo:
Can't you see?
You'll never be free!

Inmate 666 falls to his knees, clutching his head as tears threatened to spill.

Inmate 666:
NO!!
Deep inside...

Roo:
I own you!
You are mine!

Inmate 666:
NO, NEVER!

Roo:
YES, FOREVER!

Inmate 666:
God damn you, Roo!
Take all your evil deeds and rot in the darkest pit of Hell!

Roo lets out a shrill cackle.

Roo:
I'll see you there, Alastor!

Inmate 666's vision began to fade, with Roo finally disappearing. He collapsed to the floor, as the door to his hotel room burst open.

"Gramps!"
