3rd POV

In Vox's surveillance room, overlapping videos from various cameras stationed around the hotel play on the screens around him. Vox himself is sitting in his chair watching them all drinking from his mug.

Vox: 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 Alastor on it, which glitches slightly" Oh, Alastor, I cannot wait to watch you get FUCKED! Ahahahaha!

Vox starts to laugh maniacally as we transition back to the hotel

Faith's POV

I'm standing next to Charlie outside the hotel as we all watch the cannibals train with their weapons, Vaggie walks up to us

Charlie: "She sighs" Oh, I wish my mom were here to see this.

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

I was about to say something when Pentious burst into the room wearing a Victorian-style British army uniform. He looked very proud of himself.

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

Faith: "I snorted" Pentious... What in the nine circles are you wearing?

Vaggie: Yeah, what in the hell are you supposed to be?

Sir Pentious: "Salutes" General Pentious, reporting for duty. I'll turn those rapscallions into soldiers in no time at all!

Charlie: Thank you, Pen.

Niffty comes running around the hotel's entrance and runs up to Pentious

Sir 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 just blinks up at Pentious not understanding anything which made me giggle a little

Faith: I don't think she understood any of that Pentious.

Charlie: Fae is right, how about this "She kneels down in front of Niffty" If you see an Angel, stab it! "She hands Niffty a small knife"

Niffty looks towards Angel Dust thinking that's what Charlie meant she immediately starts running over to him, Angel climbing on the pole to avoid Niffty

Faith/Charlie: Not Him/ NO Niffty!

Niffty runs off to find other things while Angel flips off the pole he climbed on and I walk over to him

Faith: You ok?

Angel Dust: Yeah, I-I'm fine toots.

I smile and nod while we make our way over to stand next to Charlie, SC, Pentious, and Vaggie.

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

3rd POV

As the cannibals and the hotel's residents begin training to fight, Vox continues to watch them all train from his surveillance room

Vox: Oh, they suck. Oh, they suck so bad! Oh, God. They're gonna fucking die! They're- they're gonna die.

Faith's POV

Alastor hands Charlie his microphone so she can give a speech

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

Cherri Bomb: Look, I can't resist a fight, okay? Especially when I get to tag team with this fuckhead. "wraps an arm around Angel, who smiles"

Charlie: Tomorrow, the exorcist angels will face a hell ready to defend itself and win!

Vaggie: Yeah! Yeah, we will! Tell 'em, baby!

Charlie: Yes! And we are-we are going to win! But in case we don't, I want you all to know... that getting to know you has been the biggest honor of my life. Whatever redemption really means, I know you all tried. I have seen the good in all of you. And it's...I-I'm just...I love you all, so much, and-and live tonight however you want because-

Niffty: We're all gonna die! "laughs maniacally"

Vaggie: "starts clapping" Alright! Let's give it up for not dying! Love not dying. "pauses" Drinks?

Inside the hotel, we all share some drinks everyone talking and laughing with one another

Vaggie: I mean, personally, I'm excited. It's been a while since I stabbed anyone and really meant it, you know what I mean?

SC: Heck yeah, I mean "He sighs" I can't believe I'm saying this but as Alastor said, "it's been a while since I've been able to let off steam" and who better to let it off than those exorcists.

Faith: "I giggle" Exactly!

Cherri Bomb: Cheers, bitches!

Husk: Yeah! 

Angel Dust: Here's to us!

Sir Pentious: Here's to being alive today and not dying tomorrow!

3rd POV

Alastor and Niffty watch the rest of the group drinking from the mezzanine

Alastor: Ah, the celebratory night before a courageous last stand. It's been a surprising thrill to witness these wayward souls find connection. Almost makes one sentimental, eh, Niffty?

Niffty: I really like them, Alastor. They let me put on roach puppet shows without booing!

Alastor: Ah, an enjoyable collective to be around. I admit one could get accustomed.

Niffty hops on top of Alastor's head and places a crown made of roaches and sticks on his head

Niffty: I dub thee, King Roach.

Alastor: Oh, to understand your twisted little mind!

Alastor and Niffty begin laughing maniacally together, signaling that they possibly do understand each other's twisted little minds.

A/N Sorry this took a little while to update I've been slightly focused on other ones but I do plan on finishing this before summer break ends so I hope you all enjoyed this chapter and Peace Out My Cub Scouts!
