The Apprentice Of The Radio Demon

Chapter 90 Silenced (Vox Populi)

Trooper pops his head out of the bushes to see if anyone from the Community had followed. "All clear." He stepped out first. Then Tempest, Glenn, and Isabella followed him. They were merging with the rest of the crowd for Vox's rally, to see how bad it would be, so that they could warn the rest back home. "Marshal is gonna kill us when he finds out." Isabella said nervously. "You mean, if he finds out." Glenn smirked. "Of course he's gonna fin-" Isabella paused before she smiled. "If. If is good."

"Come on, you guys. It looks like the rally will start any minute now." Tempest ushered the others into the crowd. Once they were in the middle of the crowd, the four of them could see everyone excited for the rally.

"I took off work for this, man, just so see what Vox is gonna say."

"According to a recent poll, Vox is the hottest person in Hell."

Shok.Wav was napping on the front of the stage when Vox pulled the curtains to hide himself as he sneaked a peek at the crowd. He steps back and fixes his bow tie. "How am I looking?" Vox asked Valentino. "Not bad. You clean up nice for a TV." Valentino chuckles as he adjusts Vox's tie.

"I know. So, uh, you have the dancers ready?" Vox questioned. "Mm-hmm." Valentino shakes his shoulders and hips at Vox. "And they're...?" Vox continued to question. "Tens, plus one eight for "diversity." Valentino replied before he stepped away. "Good man." Vox smiled.

Alastor rolls up behind Vox, still tied to the chair. "Are you sure you want to present yourself like this to all of Hell?" Vox glared. "Pardon?"

"Flocked by your partners. With their far more impressive contribution to your flashy little clown show." Alastor spins himself around. "What really are you contributing besides...noise?"

Vox then begins to laugh with a stammer. "Uh, I'm the face? The face of the revolution, where the fuck have you been?" He then used his powers to make a projection appear behind him.

"Yes, but still, if that's all..." Alastor taunts. "You think they could've pulled this off without me? It's me who made this happen. I have the vision." Vox argued. "I have vision." Valentino joined the conversation. Vox scoffs at him. "Sure you do."

Valentino glared at him. "Mmhm." He watched as Vox and Alastor growled at each other as static emitted from both of them. "I should go get the dancers camera-ready." Valentino started to walk, but he paused to look at Vox. "See you out there?"

"Absolutely." Vox waved Valentino off. Seeing Alastor's smug face, Vox quickly ran back to Valentino. "A-A-Actually, Val, how about you and Velvette manage backstage? Can't have any mistakes in the presentation. I can handle the crowd."

"You don't want us coming out?" Valentino raised his brow. "Just not right away. Don't worry, you'll have your time. Thanks, babe." Vox then smacks his behind. Valentino gave him a strained smile. "Sure..." He turned away, irritated. "Babe."

Vox walked back to Alastor. "See? I'm in charge here." Before he could walk away, Alastor spoke up. "I suppose it's something. Excuses and lies still seem to be your specialty."

Vox smirked at him. "I try." Once he walked away, Alastor's shadow demonically laughed behind him.

Vox walks out from the curtains and makes his big entrance. "Hello, Pentagram City!" The crowd of sinners cheers for Vox.

"Yeah! Oh, yeah!"

"What a show off." Trooper rolled his eyes as his friends agreed with him.

Vox laughs. "Yeah! How are we doing tonight?" The crowd continued to cheer for Vox

"Better now that you're here!"

Vox laughs more. "Well, all right! Fantastic!" He walks across the stage. "Well, I just have to thank you all for coming out to support. It's such an honor, a-and can I-- oh, just take a moment to say Lilith would be so proud of how strong Hell has become." Vox stands in the middle of the stage as the words 'RESIST' appear behind him. "RESIST", am I right? Come on, let me hear it!"
