[The episode opens in Vex's surveillance room, as overlapping videos from various cameras stationed around the Hazbin Hotel play on the screens stationed around her. Vex herself is sitting in her office chair, watching them all while drinking from her mug]

Vex: No fucking way! They're going to fight? Oh, my god. Hahahaha! Oh, looks like your little hotel didn't work out so well. *watches a screen with Alastra on it, which glitches slightly* Oh, Alastra, I cannot wait to watch you get FUCKED! Ahahahaha!

[Vex laughs maniacally as the camera pans away from her chair and screens]

[The scene changes to show the cannibals all gathered outside the hotel, practising with their weapons. As Charlie watches them all from the hotel's entrance, Vaggie and Jack  come up to her]

Charlie: (Sighs) Oh, I wish my mom(Lilith) were here to see this.

Vaggie: The cannibals seem ready to fight. Are we?

Jack: aw yeah!

[madam Pentious bursts out of the hotel's doors, wearing a Victorian-style British army uniform and looking proud of himself]

Madam Pentious: Fear not, damsels. I shall have the staff ready for victorious combat!

Sally: please for the love of god take that off.

Vaggie: What in the hell are you supposed to be?

Madam Pentious: *salutes* General Pentious, reporting for duty. I'll turn those rapscallions into soldiers in no time at all!

Charlie: Thank you, Pen.

Jack: you look cute.

[Niffty, running around the hotel's entrance, now runs up to Pentious]

Niffty: What can I do to help?

Madam Pentious: I'm glad, you asked, soldier. The base needs fortifications. Reinforce the southern wall! Create a moat around the perimeter to stop a ground assault.

[Niffty blinks up at Pentious, having no idea what she just said]

Charlie: How about this. If you see an angel, stab it! *hands Niffty a small blade*

[Niffty sees Angel Dust a few metres away, and, thinking that Angel Dust is what Charlie meant, runs towards her with her knife]

Niffty: Stab! Stab! Stab!

Angel Dust: Hey, hey, hey, hey! *climbs up the pole she was leaning on*

Charlie: Not her!

Jack: yeah please don't kill one of my girlfriend's niff.

[As Niffty runs off to find other things to stab, Angel does a flip and lands on the ground, before walking over to stand with Charlie, Vaggie Jack and Pentious]

Vaggie: *drill sergeant style* Listen up, sinners! We've got 24 hours before the Extermination begins. Let's get to work.

Jack: you heard the lady people get to your stations let's go, go, go!!

[As the cannibals and the hotel's residents begin training to fight, Vex continues to watch them all train from her surveillance room]

Vex: Oh, they suck. Oh, they suck so bad! Oh, God. They're gonna fucking die! They're- they're gonna die. Well all except Jack~

[Back at the hotel, Charlie is holding Alastra's microphone, preparing to give a speech to the cannibals and the hotel's residents]

Charlie: Hello? *taps microphone* I want to thank everyone for coming. Even people who aren't staying here yet...Cherri.
