Hazbin Hotel 31 Day One Shot Challenge

Day 19 - The Radio Demon's Last Stand

This was a semi-request. See, I call it a request because I was asked to do one thing, misread it completely and so this became the idea. The idea was just to write about the Overlords that Alastor had wreaked. I read it as Write about an overlord that wreaks Alastor. So this became the idea. For this, I made an Overlord named Nocturn. He is based off a bat and is the Demon of Nightmares.

Overlords, human souls that have grown in power, from their own natural power or from making deals and gaining the strength of others. Alastor was one that arose with pure, raw power. However, if one can appear out of nowhere, another could as well.

Nocturn, a given name to the Demon of nightmares. Zapping demons of their powers through their fears and dreams. Able to put them to sleep with a wave of his hand if he so wished. He died in his sleep when his heart gave out from a stimulation in his dream. Having a weak heart meant that he needed to be careful, but one could only do so much when his heart started to race until it stopped.

In life, he was not a nice person, sought out exploiting people and what they feared for blackmail. He wasn't able to do much, but he worked well with tech. The internet was full of people full of information and ways to gather information about those people.

In death, he was now in Hell as a bat demon. He had a pointed snout, sharp ears that could hear for miles, sharp fangs, and wings that could help him take to the skies. He had a simple attire, such as a long black cloak with a navy blue inner lining. A charm around his neck, one with a full moon and the other side was a new moon.

When he first looked around the pride ring, he hummed. It wasn't what he expected, it was better. He didn't feel the same weakness he had in life. He felt stronger than he ever had before. For the first part of his new life, he hadn't gone by Nocturn yet. He was simply Nathaniel.

When he found out what he could do and how he could use his powers, he decided to get rid of his old name and took on the name of Nocturn, the Demon of Nightmares.

He would put the souls he passed into a deep slumber. Enter their dreams and control what happens. He feeds on their fears. That is how Nocturn gains strength.

With so many souls in hell, he could gain strength every time they went to sleep. However, not many knew of the monstrous overlord, for they could only ever feel his presence. The nightmare demon was only rumors, that was until Demon started falling asleep and they never woke up. They seem to be trapped in their own heads. In their own minds. And that was when Nocturn made himself known.

"Citizens of the pride ring, for far too long I have been nothing more than rumors fluttering about. But no longer will I hide in the shadows." the bat demon announced loudly.

Those with phones recorded his message and the awareness of the nightmare demon quickly spread. The overlords decided to call for a meeting, a truce amongst many. They needed to discuss and determine what to do about this new uprising overlord.

There is only one problem: none of them ever made it to the meeting. They all had succumb to Nocturn's spell. Well, not all the overlords. Just those who got close to where he resides.

Charlie looked at the news all throughout all of hell's social media and frowned. This was bad. Hellborns weren't affected by Nocturn's powers it seemed, so she was going to be safe, but not the rest of the residents.

"Angel, Husker, Niffty, I'm not sure what to do at the moment, but this guy, this overlord, he's dangerous and I do worry about your safety." Charlie said.

"Charlie, I don't think we have that much to worry about. I mean.... We have Alastor here. He's an Overlord and a strong one at that." Angel said.

"Isn't your boss an Overlord?" Husker asked.
