Vox stood in Carmilla Carmine's office, looking out, up at the sphere of Heaven, that seemed way out of reach for Hell, "Just over seven years ago, Lilith had a dream. With her song, she rallied the sinners of Hell to attack Heaven in an effort to liberate us. But before she wage her war, she disappeared. I merely wish to finish what she started." Vox explained, "A strong woman like yourself can relate, I'm sure, Ms. Carmine." Vox showed her the plans for his weapon he was planning to use against Heaven.

Carmilla gave him a cold glance, "I thought I had made my position clear. I have no interest in engaging in this war or assisting you disrespectful crew, Vox."

"Hmm, funny you mention that. See, my associate, Velvette here, came along today specifically to apologize about her childish actions at your last overlord meeting. She meant no harm. Did you, Velvette?"

Velvette seethed at her friend, "That's right. I spoke...out of turn. F...forgive me."

"See, she's sorry. You should cut her some slack. She's still pretty new to the overlord biz."

"Noted. But that doesn't change things. I have nothing more to negotiate with the man bringing angels to my doorstep."

Vox smiled at her sarcastically, "Mm. Are you sure that's me? If I recall, it was...you who armed Charlie to slay the angels in the first place."

"Those were different circumstances."

"Was it, though? Because I'm just picking up where you guys left off. See, you sit up here in your creepy factory thinking you're above this war, when, really, you're the one who started it. Make no mistake, Carmilla. War is coming. You're either with me or against me. And when the first shot fires, whose side do you want to be on? Heaven's? You think they won't come for you? The one that supplied the princess with the knife that killed their leader. Help me protect Hell, Carmilla, and I'll help you protect them." He said, gesturing to her daughters.

Finally, Carmilla gave in, "I'll build your weapon." This made Vox laugh victoriously.

A proud Vox and a pouting Velvette stepped out of the elevator, with Velvette turning to Vox angrily, "Why to throw me under the fucking bus back there, V. So much for 'just face an apology'."

"Oh, come on, Velvette, we got the deal, didn't we? Besides, you did manage to fuck up the one overlord meeting I let you do on my behalf. So, uh, maybe you should reflect a little, mm-kay?" He say, zipping away through the camera.

Velvette glared at the camera, before she threw a tantrum, "Fucking motherfucker!"

Carmilla rested her head in her hands as Zestial lowered himself from the spiderweb in the corner of her office, transforming into his demon form, "Carmilla, you surrendered yourself to the media overlord?  You know he doth profess allegiance to Hell, but his true alliance lies only to himself."
