Chapter 9 | Radio Killed the Video Star

The next day had arrived for everyone. And Charlie wasn't looking to great as she was pacing around the main lobby while Vaggie, Angel, Atticus and I had been seating and watching her mumble her worries.

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

"Yes. We will" Vaggie say, grabbing Charlie, calming her down.

"Oh, please, ya had less then half a chance when you started all this salvation bullshit. And now... Ain't no silver lining this time toots." Angel says, as I hear his phone vibrate repeatedly. concerning me a bit, assuming who it might be.

"I'm sure there's still a chance.. we can't let this get in our way of the Hotel so we just have to.. look for another way" I said, getting Atticus ready to go out for a bit.

"Well, while you're lookin', the rest'a hell's goin' nuts. People are already freakin' out about the news. Look at what's happenin' in the Doomsday District."

As Angel waves his phone in our faces. 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.

"Err, what is a...Donkey Show?" she asks

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

I looked at Angel in worry. My guess was right when I heard his phone ring so much earlier. She'll have to check up on him after she had gotten back from her outing.

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

"This is the perfect time to recruit more sinners for the hotel!"

"Cute idea and all, but you really gonna go out in all of this? Which by the way, Mamas are you sure it's a good idea to go out with your kid out there?"

"Don't worry! I can handle myself! Atticus's clothes hasn't been fitting him so I need to shop for some new ones and not to mention, grab some fabric for something on working." She smiled, getting the stroller ready.

"Oooh I'm excited to see! And Angel to your question before, it's not like people are just gonna show up on our doorstep— "

3rd POV

Suddenly, a massive explosion made Charlie scream in fight from behind, getting their attention. They turn to see a freshly made hole in the wall, then to outside to see Sir Pentious and his  Egge Bois zeppelin armed for battle.

"Show yourself Alasssstor. Come and face -"

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

" Oh there you are— Face my wrath!"

"Who are you?"

"Who am I? Who am I?! I am the great Ssssssir Pentiousssss!"

Alastor dissolves into fog as he descends to the ground, materializing aside Angel, Vaggie, (Y/n) and Charlie who are in the scene watching Sir Pentious's zeppelin.

"Inventor, architect of dessstruction, villain extraordinaire!"

"Ooh you tell 'em boss"

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