hazbin hotel: the digital overlord

ch.4

A portal in wrath had Open as Caine floats out as he waved to the figure in it.

Caine: thanks Mr. Asmodeus I really needed this!

Asmodeus: only because of your circus that fizzie loves that I'm doing this.... Please never contact me again.

Caine: love you too big man!

Caine floated at the western area of wrath as he found what he was at a imp ranch... Mama-goo family ranch as he found a orange crocodile like imp that used to work for him as a security of his circus... Gummigoo as Caine spoke nervous tone

Caine: uh greetings old pal...

The orange imp turned and saw the man who fired him from his last job

Gummigoo: oh if isn't Mister fancy teeth... What do you want mate?

Caine: I need your help, I love people but I don't understand them. I am supporting a rehab place and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Gummigoo: oh... So you think I'll just crawl back and be happy to work for the man who carelessly tossed me out

Caine: it wasn't like tha-

Gummigoo: oh please.... Why should I help you unless I get something out of it!

Caine: the satisfaction of helping others and helping your friend Caine!

Gummigoo: no seriously why would I help you! All you did was toss me to the side after I helped you!

Caine: "exhale" look what I did, Was wrong and I did it because... I was scared.

Gummigoo: scared! What do you have to be scared of! You're an overlord!

Caine: look I... It was wrong but i Don't own your soul, so I couldn't you know, Make sure I have control if something goes wrong...

Gummigoo sighs annoyed but, Understanding as he knows caine never truly means harm but he doesn't truly forgive him, But is willing to help others

Gummigoo: fine but there are going to be some ground rules. And some composition from what happened.

Caine: what do you want then?

Gummigoo: for starters no soul deals with me, And a paycheck and a proper work title and you don't fire me unless it's a real good reason

Caine: I don't really like those odds but I guess I have no choice but to say yes... Hopefully this will calm ragatha and pomni's nerves.

Gummigoo: hold up- Is Pomni actually there I could see her?

Caine visibly cringed at his tone as he didn't like how gummigoo is excited to see Pomni

Caine: yes, She is there. Doing her job Without distractions.

Gummigoo: alright, Alright... Heh I miss the little harlequin.

Caine: yeah. Uh let's uh put a pin on that topic right now so You'll help me?

Gummigoo: fine mate. But I will walk away when I decide I want out.

Caine: very well my, old friend.

It was in the evening when Caine returned to the hotel as he walked gummigoo inside as he showed him around

Caine: so this is the lobby and here you can help Get a room.

He noticed a cat demon and a mini cyclops but shook his head thinking that maybe his commercial did work and just turned to gummigoo

Caine: any hoo, So you pick a room upstairs and get settled with the others okay.

Gummigoo: fine mate.

As gummigoo left Caine left to find charlie and vaggie and tell them about his New hire as he teleported to the hallway to Charlie's room

Caine: hey Ladies I'm back and I am prepared to tell you something spectacular!

They open the door as he saw Charlie looked like she was crying and vaggie was comforting her as Caine froze

Vaggie: now isn't a good time Caine.

Charlie: I had a meeting with heaven... But it went so... Wrong....

Caine: what do you mean what went wrong?

Charlie: that jerk Adam! He moved up the exterminations!

Caine: w...what! He could do that! Why would he do that! And why now of all things!

Vaggie: the thing is. We don't know. This is out of left field and very random

Charlie: but good news is we have a new guest... Well not a guest, But a collaborator.

Caine: really who could they be!

Vaggie: well, It isn't the ideal choice for a partner.

Caine: well who is it I am always ready to see new faces!

???: well... Well... Well if it isn't the overlord that glorifies the awfulness of the inter-web thing..

Caine froze at the voice, One he hasn't heard in years, The radio demon, Alastor as he slowly turned around and down the hall confirmed it.

Caine: alastor, Greetings old radio host.

He spoke in a cautious manner and cold tone around him

Charlie: you two know each other?

Alastor: of course I pay attention to all threats, And of course weak overlords

Vaggie: right. So I'll uh... Charlie Hun Let's leave them to reconnect.

As those two walk away vaggie closes the door for Charlie to rest, as Caine and alastor looked at each other expectingly as Caine spoke first

Caine: so How was your vacation my dear Radio man

Alastor: oh just a little rest a hiatus if you will...

Caine: really for 7 years. Very suspicious Tell me Is there any reason just for hiding away?

Alastor: nothing too important for you to sink you teeth into.

Caine: cut the malarkey! Why are you here alastor What sick tricks do you plan on doing!

Alastor: what makes you think I have something planned?

Caine: because I know you, You sick twisted deal maker! Well just for you to know! I won't let you get her! She doesn't belong to you!

Alastor: oh I'm not after Charlotte's soul...

Caine: I don't believe you.

alastor: pity and here I thought we were friends of sorts, You know I'm surprised how considerate you are to those you own. After all, You killed as many overlords as I did.

Caine: those were accidents! I didn't want to hurt them! I..I...it just happened!

Alastor: really, You rised to power over a series of accidents?

Alastor gave a smug grin and raised eyebrow

Alastor: do you expect me to believe that?

Caine: it doesn't matter what you believe! I won't let you harm anyone here!

Alastor: My, My you seemed to almost care about this place. But I assure you what I'm after doesn't concern you or will hurt anyone. Now why don't you run off and play a circus trick before, You might lose one of your acts.

Caine slammed the radio demon to the wall with his magic and spoke in a low growl as his eyes glowed a demonic color.

Caine: You even so much as look at them the wrong way and I will personally abstract you till you beg to be sent to the void!!!

He lets alastor go and continue off to his nightly duties as he wanted to make sure his people are taken care of as he felt alastor's stare at him and even moreso... That damn twisted grin of his.
