The Meeting

It was freezing cold in hell that day. Since its obviously a place of eternal suffering, it never had a proper weather. It's freezing cold or really hot, not much of a surprise. The windows of buildings were frozen and couldn't open, there was snow everywhere and house roofs were collapsing by the weight of snow sometimes.

The Radio Demon (but let's call him Alastor from now on we don't want this thing to be too long ey?) had a satisfied smirk on his face while he sat on his cozy couch, safe from the deadly cold, sipping his dark coffe peacefully while watching other homeless demons freeze to death. 

Alastor broke out from his murder fantasies by the footsteps of none other than Angel Dust, entering the lobby. And Alastor was already annoyed by his existence. But not only that, why are his heels so loud again?

"Hey Strawberry! What are you doin' here all alone? Needs some 'company'?" The spider said, lifting up the fluff on his chest, not hesitating in front of Alastor death stare.

"In full honesty my dear! İ'd rather be dead."

"Playing hard to get? Sorry, Berry. it's yes or no. Your loss!"

Alastor gave up trying to knock sense into Angel. It's always been tiring. He would rather mind his own business. And so he did. He opened his favourite jazz song on his mic while closing his eyes and... Uh what do the 2020 kids say? Oh yes! Vibing. But his comfort was cut short since Angel opened the TV on full volume and he swore to not murder anyone so he couldn't do anything about it. Maybe news have interesting stuff. Doubtable but let's see.


"Welcome to 666 News! I'm Katie Killjoy!"

"And I'm Tom French!"

"And we're totally sorry about interruptingt the show you've been watching that we totally çare about!"

"So there is a fight between the two again! With them being none other than our so favourite girl  Cherri Bomb, and the so famous for losing Sir... Pants?"

"Who cares Tom? Anyway, obviously the victory was Cherri Bomb's and the Snake Guy's weird ship thing collapsed into the middle of the city! Oh how tragic!"

"So where's my money Katie?"

"What?"

"I won the bet,  I said Cherri would win."

"We both said she would win Tom."

"Can I still get the money?"

"TOM!"

"COMMERCIALS!!-"

And the screen turned into an commercial about rental killers who call themselves I.M.P

Alastor just noticed he was staring at the TV blankly, kinda melancolicly. What's so upsetting about the news? He didn't care about Katie abusing Tom and he doesn't even know Cherri. Could it be-

Oh of course. Sir Pentious.

As weird as it sounds, Alastor the so mighty and powerful Radio Demon, actually used to be friends with Sir Pentious, and even partners in crime. And he knows that Pentious hides most of his powers because of that. Not because its uncontrollable or something. He just loves his machines so much. And he was right. His powers were no match to his intelligence and the machines that can burn down buildings with huge laser guns he makes with it. But still, demon powers are no joke and it always made Alastor mad that he hides his strength. Why would anyone do that?

And so, he helped Pentious with his plana of taking over hell for a little than a year. And it that time, he actually made progress. They destroyed many places together. With Alastor unimaginable power, and Pentious's intelligence, they were unstoppable. But when one night, Alastor suddenly abandoned Pentious, it was over. Pentious couldn't take over hell with little to no use powers and only machines. So he was destined to fail if alone. Why did Alastor left? Nobody knows other than Alastor himself.

*50 years before*

The athmosphere was filled with screams as a giant ship flight through the city and burned down streets with giant laser guns. And even through the loud noises of them, a maniacs laughing could be heard since he probably put a microphone somewhere.

"Beware you ssssorry demons! Because it is I, Sir Pentious! Your soon to be the new King, and then the ruler of the entire hell!" He paused for a bit to clear his throat and to make the most evil voice.

"You heard it! Hell will be mine! And no one, not a ssssingle piece of this eternal suffering will be able to escape my unmerciful grasp!" He said, laughing maniaclly again and then contiuned to terrorrize the city.

The demons panicked even more at his speech ran for their lives. But wherever they go, it meets the same fate. Being burned down. Pentious's disaster was all over the news. And he almost impressed the overlords of hell. But especially one of them.

Pentious's ship started to slow down more and more, about to fall down. 

"Damn it! The ships energy is going low! We need to find a place to land!" He said looking at his egg servants and then heading the ship to the side way. But in the middle of the way, it was too late. 

"Woah woah WHOA-"

And he died.

You wish.

He wasn't very high from above so he survived the fall. But the place was a mess. There were parts of the ship everywhere and half of his egg servants were either dead or nearly dead. And they opened a huge hole in the ground for sure. And Pentious broke a few bones probably.

He was surely unconcious for a while. But he woke up at least. When he slowly crawled out of the hole his ship caused, he saw no one other than feet! Wait no. He looked up and what he saw was no one other than The Radio Demon.

His half awake mind took a few seconds to realize what kind of situation he was in. And then he realized he was gonna die here. Quick, make a sceen!

(Yeaaaah this part is inspired by Alastors introduction and its püre diolouge so sorry)

"Hel-"

"AAAAAAAAAA!!"

"-lo!"

"OUT DEMON!!"

"..."

"Wait what?"

"May I speak now?"

"Uh-"

"Alastorpleasetomeetyougentleman quite a pleasure! I just saw your disaster on picture show-"

"You mean TV?"

"Whatever nonsense it is! So I am truly amazed by your performance!"

"I'm not an actor!"

"Obviously! You're unique! And quite a charming one! But my point is, the world is a stage, and stage is a world for entertainment! And I've come to say I want to be a part of yours!"

"...you what?"

"Pretty sure you heard! I want to help!"

"And how do I trust you?"

Alastor paused for a second. For Real though, why anyone sane would trust this man let alone getting a foot closer? Not many. But Pentious was gonna be one of the rare ones it seemed. And Alastor finally found a proper evidence. "Well gentleman you see, It gets tiring being an overlord so consider it entertainment for myself! Also you might spice things up if you happen to be the ruler of this pathetic place!"

Pentious considered his choicea for a while. If he rejects him, he might have a hard time taking over hell. But if he accepts his offer, he will have 2 times more power, which means easier victory. He seems too sincere to be lying.

"Alright, look. I'll accept your offer on the condition you won't stab me in the back and only I will rule hell in the end! Undersssstood?"

"No problem my dear gentleman! I couldn't care less about this place so I will only be your partner in crime! 

Alastor then offered his hand, green lights coming out of nowhere, probably because of magic reasons. But that wouldn't be enough to make even a coward like Pentious scared. So he shook his hand without hesitation.

"Yes."
