Hazbin Hotel: The Fate of Fates

Chapter 17: The beginning of the quest

Charlie sat at the foot of the stairs inside while Razzle and Dazzle tried to comfort her. Malice was actually right, she had failed. She's failed at everything and to everyone. Now, she had failed almost all friends. She sighed. They were right, everyone. She was destined to fail. 

Then, without the controller turning it on, the T.V lit to life. It was News 666. She didn't want to hear it, but, why would she? Katie Killjoy and Tom Trench were on talking. Then she heard them say something. "Today, we actually have a special guest, that isn't the failure of a princess, the Radio Demon, who said he'd come today, just a few minutes ago." This...didn't make any sense. Al was dead, how could he talk to the news? Then, the screen behind the two changed. It was a smile with sharp teeth and one eye. Then a laugh could be heard. "O.K, what the fuck is happen-" Before Katie Killjoy could finish, the wall exploded, with Malice walking in, dressed in a red and purple coat, along with a lot more Hexed then before and Angels behind him. But what came inside after they came in terrified Charlie to the very core. It was her friends, but, they weren't them. Angel's body was elongated, his face, upside down smiling. Vaggie didn't have any pupils in her eyes and back arm-like spears were on her back. Niffty had small pin needles sticking in her head and one of her arms was huge, made of needles. Husk only had one eye with a giant toothy grin on his face, his wings turned to poker cards. Nate had a mask with electric marks on it, having tubes going into it, holding a giant axe. But the most terrorizing thing was what was behind Malice. It was...Alastor. His body was elongated, his chest still having the bullet mark, tentacles on his back, and holding his scepter. Finally, Malice spoke. "Hello there. My name is Malice. I'm your new king for all time. Time to die." He held up his hand and snapped. Then, all the Hexed and angels started attacking, killing or capturing any sinner they could get their hands on. Malice looked at the camera and smiled. "See you soon, Charlie." Then, the screen went black.

Charlie was doomed. She was going to die. Then, she heard someone. "...I'm sorry..." turning around, she saw a person that looked just like her, but with small wings on the back. lemondas. She then looked at them and tears started to run down her face. "Why?"

"Why does it have to be me? Why can't you-" Before she finished, they finished it for her. "Fight him? We can't. When we fought him the first time, it nearly killed all of us. And now that he's free, the curse he put on us for so long has happened, putting us under his control...I wish it wasn't you." it then said. "You're kind, trusting, lovable, and pure, despite being born in one of the worst places ever. That's what Malice despises. People who aren't suffering because of him. So, he chose you." Charlie then sighed. "What can I do? I have no one." lemondas looked at her and then spoke. "Go to the place where we are." She looked at him. "If you manage to get there, then you have a chance we may be able to seal him away again with that amulet. But it will be hard. Can you do this?" Charlie looked at the amulet that was given what felt so long ago, and stood. "What do I need to do to get there?" The being pointed at a big painting of a forest.

"That's a entrance to there, but it's also where the Hexed are sent. Are you sure about this?" Charlie nodded and lemondas sighed again. "Then I wish you best of luck, Charlotte," and on those final words, lemondas disappeared. Charlie looked at Razzle and Dazzle. "I need you guys to try and protect this place while i'm gone. Can you do that?" Both nodded their heads. "Thank you." Charlie spoke and touched them on the noses. She walked up to the painting and touched it. It was like a portal. She took one last look at the Hotel and sighed. She waved by to her little butlers and walked through, having the painting turn pitch dark and the picture disappeared, leaving it a blank background. This marked the beginning of Charlie's adventure.
