After the trial...

Asmodeus' Tower

Fizzarolli: (angry and upset) I can't believe it, Ozzie!

Asmodeus: Fizz, I...

Fizzarolli: Why didn't you stand up for him?! Ozz, my friend was nearly executed!

Fizzarolli: If it wasn't for Sonic, Blitzo would be dead!!!

Fizzarolli: Were you just gonna to sit there and watch him die?!

Fizzarolli: You weren't... right?

Asmodeus: ...

Asmodeus: Fizz, I'm... I'm sorry...

Asmodeus: But there was nothing I could do for him...

Fizzarolli: What do you mean by that?! You didn't even fucking try to help, Asmodeus!

Asmodeus: (touches Fizz's right shoulder) Look, Fizz... I know you're pissed off right now and I get it... I really couldn't have done anything for him nor Prince Stolas, nor Sonic...

Asmodeus: I couldn't risk them finding out the truth behind the crystal... But you are royalty... I am but there are still laws above me that I cannot break, Fizz.

Fizzarolli: I don't know, Ozz... From here it seemed like you really didn't care about it...

Asmodeus: What did you expect me to do then, Fizz? Did you really think I'd risk everything just for an imp or blue hedgehog?!

Asmodeus: You know you're the only one I'd risk everything for, even my life, Fizz...

Fizzarolli: (leaving)

Asmodeus: Wait... Don't go like this, please, let's solve this—

Fizzarolli: I got it, Ozz...

Fizzarolli: But I don't want to stay here and listen to this sentimental bullshit about how you don't give a shit about my people, but I'm the exception!

Asmodeus: Fizzarolli, I only care about you and me. And I wasn't going to risk defending your friend if there was even the slightest chance that it would put you in danger. You may be wondering how that would put you at risk... I don't know either, but I didn't know Andrealphus and Stella were behind bars to kill Stolas the whole time, that they hired that fucking cowboy hitman to kill him and he captured you before. But I'm so relieved Sonic saved them from death all because of his righteous heart. You must think that because I have a say in Satan's decisions, but I don't... I felt useless... and when I saw that cowboy, I decided to keep quiet. Now all Hell knows that I love you, that you're the most important thing in my life, and if there's someone behind it all who wants Stolas dead, I'm sorry, but I'm going to be selfish. I wouldn't care if I was the one who ended up getting hurt, but there's you... And Hell is full of evil beings. Except Sonic and his friends from other universes. They're true heroes. I'm sorry...

Asmodeus: (upset) Fuck... you have every right... to be... angry... I feel so bad for Blitzo... with Stolas... and for you...

Asmodeus: (sobbing) I'm really sorry, Fizz... Maybe I was a coward, you're right... and I could have done something like Sonic did... But I just... just don't hate me, I beg you...

Fizzarolli: (bringing tears and run towards Ozz)

Fizzarolli: (holding Ozz's hand) Please don't cry, Ozzie... (sobbing) I'm really sorry I never put myself in your shoes...

Fizzarolli: *sob* I could never hate you, I just... I'm so frustrated right now... *sob*

Asmodeus: You don't owe me any apology, I understand your anger and frustration... It's been a rough day, Fizz...
