This story began one ordinary day in Hell. The Hazbin Hotel had the usual atmosphere for all the workers in it. Angel Dust, a famous porn star, was drinking alcohol from a small glass, sitting at the bar, chatting about something with the bartender, named Husk. Over a period of time, the two had become very close, thus becoming quite good friends. The hotel maid, Niffty, was busily sweeping the floors in the hallway. Alastor, nicknamed Radio Demon, was inside the hotel and, sitting in a chair by the TV, which was turned off, was reading the newspaper. He had seen a lot of news stories about the Three V's company, how great and advanced it was, and that "Sinners can trust them with their safety." Alastor frowned, keeping his smile, reading all of this. Who could possibly like these technologies? They only mess with the brain!
While the Radio Demon was reading the paper, Charlie, Princess of Hell, walked by, carrying a large stack of papers. Next to her walked her girlfriend, Vaggie, who looked at Charlotte with compassion. With a loud clap, Charlie put the papers down on the table, sighed heavily and rubbed her already sleepy eyes.
- Charlie, baby, I told you I could do this on my own.. - Vaggie put her hand on Morningstar's shoulder with a gentle touch.
- I know, Vaggie. - Charlie nodded slowly. - 'But I really can do the hotel work myself! Otherwise I'd be worthless, wouldn't I?
- Why are you so stubborn? - Vagatha said, sighing heavily. - You've been working on other duties at the hotel all night! I could have handled the fucking paperwork myself, but you kept standing your ground. That's not good. I care about you, and I don't want you to get hurt, okay?
- I understand, Vaggie, and I really appreciate your concern, but I have to! - Princess of Hell gently removed her girlfriend's hand from her shoulder. - As the owner of the hotel, I must deal with any difficulties!
- ... - Vaggie looked questioningly straight into Morningstar's eyes.
- 'All right, all right. We'll work together next time. - Charlotte smiled slightly.
- Fine. - Vagatha smiled back.
And then she noticed Alastor sitting in a chair not far from them, who wasn't even paying attention to their conversation.
- Hey! - Vaggie angrily called out to the Radio Demon. - You're actually the hotel manager too! Why aren't you helping us?
- Hm? - Alastor looked up, interrupted from reading. - 'Because I wasn't informed yesterday that my help was needed, dear. It's as simple as that!
- Yes, Vaggie, don't take it out on others. - said Charlie in a slightly muffled voice. - Speaking of which, Al, why are you so glum? - asked the girl a rather innocent question.
- Oh, dear, it's nothing special. - Radio Demon dismissed it. - It's just that the news lately often write some nonsense. - he sighed, closing the newspaper. - I just don't like those... "VVV."
- Oh. - Morningstar crossed her arms over her chest and looked at the hotel manager with some compassion. - I heard.. About Vox. The head of the company. You are, as I understand it.. - the princess clucked her tongue in thought. - ..sworn enemies?
Alastor laughed at Charlie's words. She looked at him questioningly, not sure why he was so amused. Vaggy watched him in disbelief.
- Ho-ho, no, my dear, no. He is far from my sworn enemy. - Alastor looked up at the ceiling, leaning back in his chair. - He's just a clown with a square picture player instead of a head who's just pissed off at me. - He grinned, crossing his arms over his chest. - He's weak. And I just enjoy his childish anger and our 'rivalry' that he made up himself. - Alastor straightened and looked thoughtfully at the floor. - ...There is one person that is no match for anyone in this Hell. He is one of the worst demons I have ever seen. No one else I wish endless torment like him.
- ..And who is that? - Vagatha inquired.
- You have no need to know, my dear! - Alastor splayed his hands and his smile widened. - Yes, and he's probably dead on the extermination by now.
...
BOOM!
Suddenly, the wall in the hallway abruptly exploded! Everyone around frightened from such a sudden explosion.
- Grrgh... - Husk roared angrily from behind the bar. - Come on, really?! When is everyone gonna stop blowing up our fucking wall?! - The bartender shouted angrily, splashed his hands.
Angel stood up abruptly from his
chair and ran over to Charlie and Vaggie to get a better view of the broken wall. A look of concern played on his face. Vaggie immediately armed herself with her spear and got into a stance. Charlie just stood there in great shock, staring straight ahead. Niffty, on the other hand, smiled very broadly as she hugged her broom.
- Oh no.. - Radio Demon muttered, staring into the huge hole in the wall.
- Come on, you fucking strawberry satyr! - shouted angrily to the amateur radio porn actor. - It's like it's the first time we've ever been blown up!
- That's not why I'm disappointed. - sternly replied Radio Demon, then slowly got up from his chair and took his cane in his hands.
- Eh? - Anthony tilted his head slightly to the side, looking at Alastor questioningly.
- Al, what are you talking about? - Charlotte asked, coming to her senses.
- ... - The Radio Demon remained silent, walking past the others. He stood closer to the hole in the wall than the others, looking at it with a tense gaze, as if expecting something.. Or rather, someone.
Suddenly, through the hole in the wall, HE entered with a majestic step. A tall, sinful man with the body of a white toothpaste tube with "Colgate" written on it in red text. He had a light-salad tie tied around his neck and bunny ears on his head. His eyes were dark green with poisonous pupils that stared straight at Alastor. A sinister and whitest smile played across the face of the uninvited guest. He approached the Radiohead, cocking his head upward.
- Hello, Alastor. - said the person in question in a snide tone.
- There you are, Colgate. - growled “Strawberry Satyr” and sighed, pinning his ears back. - What the Lucifer are you doing here?
- Did you think that if you disappeared for seven years, I wouldn't find you? - Colgate laughed, clutching his stomach. - What an idiot you are! I knew you were a fool and a coward, but you're also SO STUPID! You amaze me, Alastor!
- ..Grrr... - The radio fanatic clenched his teeth as he continued to smile. It seemed that just a little bit more, and his smile would fall.
While these two were 'figuring things out', the others looked at them in even more shock. There were a lot of questions. What's that fucking toothpaste on his legs, and why is he talking about Alastor like that? And why does Radiod look more irritated and tense than ever? It's obvious they've known each other for a long time..
- Hey! - Anthony called out sharply, raising his hand in the air. - What the fuck is going on here?! Who the fuck are you?! - he pointed his finger disrespectfully at the toothpaste.
- Me? Hahaha! - laughed again at the uninvited guest and, pushing Alastor aside, walked over to the others. - My name is Colgate. One of the powerful demons of Hell!
- What?! Alastor overthrew all the powerful demons.. Then why nobody's ever said anything about you? - Charlie asked.
- Ho-ho.. The fact is, I used to be pretty famous for my shenanigans in Hell. - confessed the toothpaste. - ..But many years ago, Alastor and I started a feud. It would take a long time to explain why. When he managed to destroy 99% of the powerful demons, I disappeared. Since everyone in Hell was stunned by the Radio Demon massacre, history recorded that he destroyed all the powerful demons, and I was forgotten about! No one ever mentioned the name of the Great Colgate again! - He splayed his hands, pinning his ears back a little. Everyone could hear how he is dramatized. - I needed revenge. As I was formulating my plan, I found out that Alastor was MISSING! What a coward. - Colgate cast a sneering glance at Radiohead, who was glaring at him with the same hatred. - I've spent so many years trying to find out where he is, and absolutely NOTHING! I was already thinking that he died in an extermination or something.. But suddenly I found out he's alive! And that he's hanging out in this miserable hotel. Of course, I immediately sprang into action. - Colgate took a deep breath before continuing to speak. - ..And here I am.
- It was very interesting to hear some fucking bullshit from some fucking asshole. - Husk spoke sarcastically, stepping closer to the scene.
- Wha-.. Hey! - shouted the uninvited guest unhappily.
- Alastor.. Is it true? - Charlie, whose eyes were already the size of two pennies, looked at the radio amateur, asking a question.
- ..Mmm.. - The Radio Demon mumbled unhappily. - ..Yes. It's true. - he answered reluctantly.
- ..Okay... - Vaggie stretched out uncertainly. - ..But what do you want?
- Oh! I just want my glory back! - Colgate stood in a majestic pose, raising one hand up and stepping forward once. - And if I overthrow Alastor.. I'll have the glory back in no time!
- How ridiculous. - Alastor said, rolling his eyes.
- I didn't ask for a comment from a deer! - Colgate shouted sternly and snorted.
- Or... - Charlie stretched out, walking over to the uninvited guest. - ..You could try to redeem in the hotel to get into Heaven! Then you can get your fame back. In the best way possible! - the girl laughed nervously and smiled kindly, looking the toothpaste straight in the eye.
- What?! - Colgate laughed so hard that barely visible tears came from his eyes. - Don't be ridiculous, Lucifer's daughter! How am I going to get famous like this?
- Well.. - Charlotte thought for a moment. - ..for example. In Heaven, you can be famous as the "Redeemed Demon", and in Hell, as the "Survivor of a powerful demon after the Alastor Massacre"! Double combo! And you don't have to kill anyone! Haha... - Morningstar glanced over at her girlfriend.
- ... - Vaggie looked away, clearly doubtful that the toothpaste would agree.
- Hmm... - Colgate did indeed ponder, rubbing his chin with his hand. - ..You know what? I'll do it! - The uninvited guest held out his hand to Charlie. - So be it!
- Oh! - Princess of Hell was surprised at Colgate's sudden change of heart. But she shook his hand awkwardly. - I'm glad we've come to an agreement!
Alastor grabbed Charlie by her other free hand and, without further ado, dragged her away.
- Hey! What the-? - Charlotte was no sooner indignant than Radiohead pulled her around the corner and interrupted her.
- What the hell are you doing, Charlie?! - Whispered the Radio Demon angrily.
- What's the big deal? - Princess Ada asked in a whisper.
- "What's the big deal”?! Are you mocking me?! - Alastor clamped his hands sharply onto Charlie's shoulders. - 'He's my enemy, the most HORRIBLE demon in Hell! Do you really think I'm gonna ignore his presence in this fricking hotel?!
- I'm sorry! It was the first thing that popped into my head! And besides, he could have killed you! - Morningstar explained.
- Are you kidding me?! I'm a Radio Demon, a powerful Overlord! I could have handled it! - Alastor seemed like he was going to rip the Princess of Hell's skin off with anger.
- You know, you didn't do well with Adam on the extermination day. - Charlotte said matter-of-factly, frowning. - And I'm in charge here, so let me decide! - Charlie took a sharp step away from the radio enthusiast and turned her back and walked away.
- ..Uuuurrrgh... - Alastor cocked his head up. - ..This is going to be problematic. - Sighing, he walked back into the hallway with an annoyed look, crossing his arms over his chest.
When he returned, he saw Niffty had climbed on top of Colgate and was looking at him with her frantic gaze.
- Hehehe, baad booy~ - the maid giggled, showing her sharp teeth.
- AHHH, WHAT'S THAT?! - Screamed the powerful demon.
- Oh, that's Niffty, our maid! - Charlotte explained. - 50% harmless.. Probably only 40% harmless..
- That's fine, but get that thing away from me!! - Colgate tried to pull Nifty off him, but he couldn't, and the maid still had a firm grip on him.
- Okay, Niff, calm down. - Angel took the little bad boy lover in his arms and stepped away from the toothpaste.
Niffty, on the other hand, wasn't upset at all. She continued to feather Colgate with her gaze.
- Brrr… Thank you. - toothpaste adjusted her neck tie.
- You're welcome. - Anthony rolled his eyes and walked away, carrying the maid in his arms.
Alastor watched silently from a distance, muttering something to himself.
- What kind of circus is this? - Hask suddenly came from behind him.
- Ah, Husker! - Radioid laughed. - It's nothing special. Just a mismatch.
- "A mismatch?" What's that white dick on legs? - The bartender frowned, crossing his arms over his chest. - Anything you want to tell me?
- Mmm... No. - Radio Demon shrugged. - You don't need to know. I can handle it.
- But-.. - before Husker could finish, he was immediately interrupted.
- And don't you dare cross me! - Alastor approached the bartender with his evil smile. - You don't want to have that conversation again, do you?
- ... - Husk sighed heavily. - ...Understood. But please don't do anything stupid.
- I will, buddy. - the radio buff turned his back on the bartender. - I will. - and then he walked away, leaving Husker alone.
- All right, Mr. Colgate. Let me show you to the front desk. We'll get you into an available room. - Charlotte said with a radiant smile, taking the uninvited guest by the hand.
- Perfect! Fame and notoriety, wait for me! - Colgate laughed and went with Charlie to check himself into the hotel.
Alastor watched his enemy from afar in disbelief. He didn't like the whole thing.
This is definitely not going to lead to anything good.....
…
Night. Everyone in the hotel is getting ready for bed. Meanwhile, Charlie was telling Colgate the next day's schedule outside his room.
- ..And at 5:00, we're having dinner together! You got it all memorized? - Princess of Hell asked in a slightly sleepy voice.
- Yes, I do! Thank you. - the powerful demon nodded, smiling.
- You're welcome. - Charlotte said with a yawn. - Well, I'm off to bed. Good night.
- Uh-huh. - Colgate just nodded, saying nothing.
Morningstar waved to her new lodger and left. Alastor's enemy looked around the corridor in disbelief, as if trying to find something. Suddenly, the shadow of a radio amateur appeared on the floor behind him, and the Radio Demon was immediately behind Colgate's back.
- You think you're so smart? - He asked in a muffled voice.
Toothpaste flinched and turned around sharply. Then he grinned slyly.
- What are you doubting? - The uninvited guest crossed his arms across his chest. - I'm not the one who sold my soul and now I'm on a leash.
- ..Grrrr. - the radio fanatic just wanted to jump him.
- Nope. Not gonna happen. - Colgate grinned smugly. - In case you've forgotten, the contract you yourself signed seven years ago says you can't touch your owner's allies!
- ... - Alastor snorted unhappily.
- Yes. - the demon lover's nemesis nodded. - While you were gone, I had time to make my connections, if you know what I mean. So you should be thankful that I agreed to that pathetic princess's offer at all.
- ..I know all that, you white dick. - Radio Demon rolled his eyes. - But trust me, the days you spend here are gonna be your worst nightmare. So I suggest you pack your bags and get out of here before it's too late.
- Uh, no. - the intruder turned to face the door of his room and grasped the doorknob. - I've already made my decision. And I don't care what you say. I want to watch you suffer. - Opening the door, he stepped into his room and closed the door with a loud slam.
Alastor was left alone in the hallway. Disappointed, he disappeared into the shadows and headed for his room.
"The next few days promise to be fun."
