The Impish Mage Season 1

Chapter 11: Radio Killed the Video Star Part 1

Shortly after the news bulletin, Charlie is pacing around the hotel as KeeKee follows her.

Charlie paces around as she says, "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 soon begins to panic, And next time when they cut the time in half again, and again, we'll just handle it, right?!"

Vaggie grabs Charlie, calming her down, "Yes. We will."

But Angel says, "Oh, please, ya had less then half a chance when you started all this salvation bullshit. And now..." He soon hears his phone vibrating and looks to see the messages he's getting from his boss, "Ain't no silver lining this time toots."

"Sure there is! We just...have to look a little harder for it!" Charlie says.

"I think Charlie is right, Angel," Blitz says, "I'm sure we'll think of something to do about the situation," Blitz says.

"Well, while you're lookin' and thinkin', the rest'a hell's goin' nuts." Angel points out.

Then waves his phone in front of them, "People are already freakin' out about the news. Look at what's happenin' in the Doomsday District." And scrolls down an article with the bottom showing a demon screaming in front of a fire.

Suddenly a pink message appears.

Seeing it, Charlie asks, "Err, what is a...Donkey Show?"

Angel quickly takes his phone back, "Aah, heh, nothin'. My boss, Val, is just freaked out about the news too."

"Your boss has an odd way of freaking out about it," Loona says.

Angel rolls his eyes, "Please don't ask, Loona," He then says, " Like I said, everyone's losin' their shit."

"Yeah, that's true," Vaggie replies, and starts to think, about it, "Sinners are desperate. Maybe desperate enough to try anything to escape the extermination?"

Charlie gasps in excitement, "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?" Angel replies, showing his phone with the place still on fire and demons in panic.

"Well, it's not like people are just gonna show up on our doorstep," Charlie says.

Suddenly, a massive explosion gets their attention.

Tilla becomes scared and begins to cry in fright.

Blitz rocks Tilla in her arms, "There there, sweetie. It's okay. Nothing to fear."

"What in the world was that?" Aurora asks, shocked.

They turn to see a freshly made hole in the wall.

"Where did that hole come from?" Keenan asks.

"Who blasted it is what we should be more worried about," Loona says.

Their questions have been answered by a familiar voice, "Show yourself Alasssstor!"

And it's revealed that Sir Pentious Zeppelin is back and armed. Inside reveals the incenter himself and his Egg Bois, scattering around.

"Come and face-" Pentious continues, but pauses for a moment to notice Alastor is absent from the freshly made hole.

He then turns to see the Radio demon sipping his coffee on the balcony on the second floor.

"Oh there you are," Pentious says.

Then shouts, "Face my wrath!"

"Who are you?" Alastor questions.
