Earth 666

Vee Tower

"Voxxy~" A flirtatious voice purred from behind the Tv Demon, choosing to ignore the sex obsessed demon behind him as he went over the footage of the battle between the Guardians and the Legion again. He'd been doing this for a while now, deciphering everything that was said between the two groups and analyzing the various abilities each of them seemed to possess, his glare hardening whenever Alastor appeared in the footage, his everlasting grin never leaving his static form as he watched the battle with great amusement. When he didn't get the response he desired, the Porn Demon tried again, "Ahem! Voxxy~ Mi amor~ Mi amigo de mierda~" He persisted, yet, remained ignored. The Porn Demon began growling in frustration, barring his sharp teeth as he stomped over to Vox, who remained leaning forward in his surveillance room, focusing on the screen as he rewound the footage again.

Speaking of the Porn Demon, Valentino was a tall, slender, somewhat muscular and broad-shouldered moth demon with lavender skin and lacking pupils and irises in his cerise-pink eyes, over which he was always wearing gold-rimmed, heart-shaped sunglasses with cerise lenses. His mouth was full of sharp, cerise teeth with a single golden fang that sits to his far left of center, his stature was tall, estimated to be around 10 feet, which he emphasizes with long black heeled boots. He has fluffy white neck fur with small red love-hearts that plumes up from his coat's break-line. He was bald with moth-like antennae; the right appearing like a large white with black heart-striped feather while the left appears smaller and lacking the white areas. He has an extra set of arms just above his hips. His hands and forearms are black, mimicking black gloves, while the upper halves are his normal skin color.

He has a pair of large red moth wings that features zebra print fur outlining the edges, while the interior is darker colored with several heart designs. These wings are usually wrapped around his body to form a floor-length coat with white fur at the wrists, as well as black-and-white-striped fur trim down the center-front to the bottom hem, and three white stripes on both hips with a heart shaped design on the back. This coat is pinned with a gold chain and gold love-heart shaped broach fastening at the breast. Valentino wore a red top hat with a wide, asymmetrical zebra-printed hat-band, in which his antennae poke out like feathers. Under his coat, he wore a chest-exposing dark grey shirt with rolled-up sleeves that are held together by two gold buttons, alongside white dress pants held by a black belt with a golden love-heart shaped buckle, and a pair of high-heeled black boots. He wore a gold chain necklace hung down to his chest, gold arm bands on his lower wrists, each hand having one gold ring, and sometimes gold nail guards on his fingers.

Valentino walked behind his business partner and began massaging his shoulders to help him relax. "Mi amor, you seem tense~ How about a good ole' fashioned fucking to help you unwind~?" His advances were awarded by the Tv Demon as he electrified his body, zapping Valentino, causing him to cry out and stumble back, shaking his charred and smoking hands, blowing on them to ease the pain. He glared at the demon who had his back to him. "What the fuck, Vox?! What've you got shoved up your ass, pendejo?!"

"Fuck off, Val." Vox told him calmly, well, as calmly as he could anyway. He really wasn't in the mood for Val's shit tonight.

The Moth strutted over and leaned over Vox's shoulder, adjusting his glasses as he watched the footage. "Who the fuck are they?" He asked, glancing down at his boy toy for answers.

"That's what I'm trying to figure out," Vox grumbled, grinding his teeth in anger. "Before being rudely interrupted."

"Bitch, you love it." Val squinted as footage of Batman throwing multiple Batarangs at Loki played. "Fuuuuuuck, look at him. Those abs, the body, even the suit is a turn on. What I would give to have someone like him in a shoot, the dark, brooding type is really popular right now."

"You're disgusting, Val."

"Fuck you!" Val shouted, offended as he took a step back, watching as Vox sat back in his chair and turned around to talk to his fellow Vee. "What the fuck is up with you anyway? You've been pissy ever since this morning and it's a real turn off, Voxxy."

Vox's eyes bulged out of his screen, staring at the Moth as is he had grown a second head. "The fuck do you mean?! Do you not know what happened this morning?! The tower shaking? The little shadow demons running around destroying shit?! Do you have the attention span of a five year old?!"

"Oh, I thought the tower shaking was me."

Vox was left speechless. Was he serious? His screen began to glitch as he laughed mirthlessly. "Are you seriously te-te-te-telling me... Tha-tha-that you thought... That the-the-the tower-r-r-r-r was sha-shaking because o-o-o-o-f you fuc-ck-ck-in-in-ing some whore in BED?!"

Val blinked and waved at the television dismissively, taking a puff of his cigarette. "Hey, I'm extraordinary in the sack, you should know, Voxxy~"

"ARE YOU FUCKING--!!!"

Vox was cut off from a breakdown by a sudden explosion from the upper levels of the tower, resulting in the tower shaking violently for the second time that day. Val looked around with a bored expression while Vox looked around panicked at the idea of another attack so soon after the last one.

They weren't ready for another assault, not yet, they needed to repair.

His face started vibrating; Velvette was calling him again, this time he decided to answer, swiping the screen and flicking his finger towards the screen to his left, Velvette's panicked visage appearing on the screen.

Velvette was a slim and rather petite demon with cedar-brown skin, and long curly hair kept into pigtails with bangs by black hair ties. Her hair was colored in a desire-red that features the insides colored in a faded dark navy-blue, and white swirled-streaks on her pigtails and one on her bangs. Her eyes had white irises, red sclera and slit-like pupils, and her makeup consisted of burgundy eyeshadow on her eyelids, and black lipstick on her lips with a strip across the center of her mouth, which has fangs inside.

Velvette's clothing was that of a set of skull earrings, and a sleeveless dark navy-blue coat with burgundy lining and two desire hearts on the left side of the fur collar. Her coat was usually worn over a sleeveless, black turtleneck crop-top that includes two desire hearts on the chest. Her loose pants were colored in navy-blue and desire-red in a striped pattern, held by a dark navy belt with a white heart-shaped buckle. For footwear, she wore navy low-heeled shoes with white pom-poms on top. Velvette accessorized with black-striped fingerless opera gloves with alternating colors - white for her right glove and desire for her left.

"Vel?! What the fuck is happening up there?!" Vox demanded to know, leaning forward to get closer to the screen.

"HOW THE FUCK SHOULD I KNOW, YOU MANGY TWAT?!" Velvette responded with a shriek, standing inside their penthouse as a massive explosion went off in the background, glass flying everywhere as the window was blown to pieces. "GET YOUR ARSES UP HERE, YOU FUCKING IDIOTS, BEFORE I COME DOWN THERE MYSELF AND SHOVE MY FIST SO FAR UP YOUR ARSES THAT YOUR GONNA BE VOMITING NAIL POLISH FOR THE NEXT SEVEN YEARS!!! ARGH!!!" She cried out as a massive red hand shot up and planted itself on the floor, the creature climbing up to get inside. "NOW QUIT FUCKING EACH OTHER AND GET UP HERE!!!"

The call cut off and Vox and Val looked at one another before the latter made a beeline for the elevator while the former teleported into a camera and traversed the cyberverse to get to the penthouse. Many thoughts were running through Vox's head. Was this Alastor again? Some other Overlord who got too big for his britches?

He really didn't need this right now.

He appeared in front of the door leading into the penthouse, with Valentino bursting through the doors below and rushing up the stairs panting heavily. The Tv Demon wasted no time and kicked the door down, the two Vees posing as they stood in the room.

"WHO WANTS TO GET FUCKED!!!"

"Aaaaand you had to ruin it." Vox drawled as he slumped forward, the cool pose ruined by Valentino. But the Television Demon straightened himself when he took in the sight before him. First was the state of the penthouse. It was trashed. And that was putting it lightly. Furniture was on fire, the massive window was shattered, and there was debris all over the floor.

And then there was Velvette.

Who was currently being held in the air by Lord Tirek.

The centaur smiled as Metal Sonic flew into the tower, arms folded over his chest as Loki appeared in a trail of green smoke that flew into the room. He looked to his left as Bowser leapt into the tower, with Dr. Eggman descending from above and floating in slowly in his Egg Mobile with a smirk on his face.

Val looked confused, his antennae tilting to the side along with his head.

Vox was hard. That was putting it lightly. "Holy shit." He said softly as he looked up at Eggman, who adjusted his gloves before placing his hands behind his back.

"Mr. Vox, I presume?" Eggman started, leaning down slightly as Metal Sonic flew to his side, just in case any of them tried anything.

"Who's asking?"

"I am Doctor Ivo Robotnik!" Eggman introduced with a slight bow. "And these are my associates, The Legion of Doom!" It seemed that he was embracing the name.

Loki rolled his eyes.

Tirek smirked, he really did like the name.

"And what do you want?" Valentino asked, glancing at the squirming Velvette still in Tirek's grasp.

Eggman adjusted his glasses and said, "We have a proposition, if you're interested?"

One hour before the Legion stormed Vee Tower

"WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING?!!!"

Those were the words that flew out of Princess Charlotte Morningstar's mouth upon finally regaining her senses after witnessing what just occurred. The battle that took place was something that neither she nor her two friends had seen since the battle against Adam and his Exorcist Angels. The destruction, the anarchy of it all, Charlie never wanted to see such a thing ever again.

But the weirdest part of it all was exactly who was fighting. At first they thought the giant robot was something a sinner demon purchased from Vox Tech, but to their surprise it was a human of all things piloting the mech, leading a team of individuals that neither sinner nor demon had seen before.

And what's even weirder was who fought against them.

A blue hedgehog.

Two unicorns, one with wings and one without.

And three humans.

Speaking of them, the blue hedgehog leaned toward the wingless unicorn and whispered sarcastically, "Colorful language, that's for sure." To which the unicorn couldn't help but nod in agreement, while the other unicorn slowly approached the Princess of Hell with a solemn look on her face.

"Is anybody hurt?" She asked, genuine concern laced in her voice, which surprised the three demons.

While Vaggie and Charlie looked at one another in confusion, Alastor squinted his eyes as he eyed the Princess of Friendship. There was something about her that intrigued the Radio Demon, something very similar to Charlie, a hidden potential within her that he could possibly exploit.

But first he had to get the details first.

But before he could open his mouth to speak, Vaggie glared at the princess with her singular eye and demanded, "Okay, who the hell are you? And why are there humans in Hell? That shouldn't even be possible!"

Her glare was met by Batman's, "That's none of your business, demon."

She was about to ready her spear, but was stopped by her girlfriend as she ran in front of her and placed her hands on her shoulders, her face pleading. "Vaggie, stop! They saved us, remember? The least we could do is give them the benefit of the doubt. Please, just let me handle this."

Vaggie looked conflicted, but relented after some consideration. If there was one thing Vaggie couldn't beat, it was the pleading eyes of her girlfriend. So she sighed and nodded, allowing her to handle this. "Okay, babe. I trust you."

Charlie smiled gratefully before dusting off her pantsuit and straightening herself, turning around to address the Guardians. "First of all, thank you for saving us, reaaaally appreciate it. Let me introduce myself! I'm Charlie! It's nice to meet you!" She held out her hand in a gesture of friendship, which normally ended with her hand being either smacked away or something much more vulgar.

It was Hell, what did you expect?

But to her surprise, the alicorn held out her hoof and used it to shake Charlie's hand. "I'm Twilight Sparkle! It's a pleasure to meet you!"

Charlie beamed!

She had to fight the urge to squeal and bounce around on the spot.

But she maintained her composure, even though both Alastor and Vaggie could tell she was holding it all back.

The shake ended and Twilight looked back and introduced her friends, "And these are my friends! Sonic, Mario, Tony, and Batman." Each Guardian gave their own form of greeting as she introduced them to the Princess of Hell.

Charlie waved enthusiastically at them, "Hi! Soooo nice to meet all of you," before looking to Batman and asking, "Is Batman your actual name?"

"It's the only name you're going to get."

Normally she would be put off by his attitude, but the princess was too excited to care. She darted over and practically dragged her girlfriend over, not even trying to grab Alastor due to his no touching rule, and introduced her girlfriend, "This is Vaggie! My girlfriend and best friend!"

Although uncomfortable, Vaggie managed a small wave and a forced smile. "Um... hey."

"And this is--"

"Alastor!" The Radio Demon cut off the Princess of Hell as he walked over and grinned at the heroes. "Pleasure to be meeting you, quite the pleasure!"

Batman didn't know why, but this gentlemen reminded him a lot of The Joker. Maybe it was the smile. Actually, scratch that, it was most definitely the smile.

Alastor continued, ignoring Batman's glare, with a smile. "And I'm sure that I am not the only one who is curious as to what sprouted this little bout of entertainment a few moments ago! So, if you would be so kind as to indulge us?"

Vaggie glared at the Radio Demon while Charlie simply laughed awkwardly. Truth be told, she too wanted to know what the hell was going on. She watched as Twilight looked back to her friends, each with their own looks on their faces, Batman's particularly distrusting, before nodding and looking to Charlie and the others.

"Well... it started like this."

Vee Tower

The Legion of Doom followed behind Vox, who had an eager grin on his monitor with his arms placed behind his back, into the meeting room, with Val and Velvette following close behind, the former eyeing Loki seductively while the latter was scrolling through her phone.

The meeting room was surrounded by a shark tank, with technological sharks swimming around behind where Vox sat, the Tv Demon taking his place at the head of the table while everyone made themselves comfortable. Loki and Bowser sat at the far end of the table while Tirek and Eggman opted to stand.

"You said you had a proposition for us?" Vox recounted, getting the meeting between the two teams underway, clinking his claws together, producing small sparks of electricity. "Well, let's hear it!"

"You seem very eager to hear from us despite the fact that we attacked your tower." Tirek couldn't help but point out, arching his eyebrow.

Vox chuckled and spread out his arms, gesturing to his fellow Vees. "We're the Vees! Making deals with demons who've crossed us happens every other day!"

Loki smiled as he leaned forward, "We're not demons."

"No you are not~" Valentino licked his teeth, undressing the God of Mischief in his head.

Loki looked repulsed while Bowser snickered.

Eggman cleared his throat, having grown tired of these shenanigans. "If I could start now?" He asked through gritted teeth before bonking Metal Sonic on the head, causing his eyes to flicker for a moment before they began projecting a holographic image of various planets hovering around one another.

Vox stared at the projection with wide eyes, standing from his seat and leaning towards the image. Valentino raised an eyebrow while Velvette briefly looked up from her phone before looking down again. "What is that?" Vox asked, looking over from the projection towards Eggman, who had a smirk on his face.

"Have any of you heard of the Multiverse?"

"The wha?" Both Vox and Velvette asked simultaneously while Valentino looked at his nails as he began speaking.

"The Multiverse is the hypothetical set of all universes. Together, these universes are presumed to comprise everything that exists: the entirety of space, time, matter, energy, information, and the physical laws and constants that describe them." Valentino explained, much to the shock of everyone there. He looked up to see the slack jawed expressions of his business partners and the surprised looks of the members of the Legion of Doom. "What? I make porn for a living! You think science fiction isn't a part of that? I know things!"

"You definitely got that off of Voxipedia!" Vel laughed, pointing at the moth demon.

"FUCK YOU, PUTA!"

"If I may continue?" Eggman called out, noticing Vox glaring daggers at both Valentino and Velvette. "Yes, the moth is correct! But it is no theory, no, no, no, the Multiverse is very real and we each hail from different corners of it."

"And why should we believe you?" Velvette asked. "How do we know you ain't just chattin' shit?"

"No, no, this would explain why there are humans in Hell." Vox defended, finding validity in Eggman's claims. "Which shouldn't be possible."

"Well, let me assure you that I am no human." Loki pointed out with a grin. "I am the God of Mischief."

Before that could be elaborated on, Vox looked back to Eggman and asked, "So, you're telling us that there are other worlds out there?" When Eggman nodded, Vox began to fritz with excitement, think of all the potential deals he could make! All that power his for the taking. He then calmed himself down and asked, "But what do you want with us? And why are you in Hell anyway?"

"Have any of you chumps heard of the Spear of Destiny?" Bowser asked.

The three Vees looked at one another before shaking their heads. Tirek then began to explain, "It is a weapon of immense power that has been scattered into four pieces across various dimensions. One of the pieces of the spear has ended up here in this dimension and we seek to claim it."

"What can it do, exactly?" Velvette asked, having since put down her phone.

"Change the very fabric of reality." Tirek revealed.

Velvette dropped her phone while Vox stood up, sending his chair spinning backwards. Valentino didn't get it, but looked aroused, then again he always was. "C-Change reality?" Vox repeated.

"Correct!" Eggman confirmed. "Think of it, anything you've ever desired, all the souls you could ever own, they could be yours in this new world that we have set out to build. Any rivals would be none existent and you would be the most powerful demons not just in Hell, but in any realm or world imaginable!"

Vel and Val looked at him like he was crazy, but Vox, he looked like he was about to blackout again. He could not only bring himself back to life with all of his power, but he could make sure that Alastor never existed, or even better, make him his bitch.

A whole new world his for the taking.

How could he say no?

But there was one thing he didn't get, "Why come to us?" This garnered some attention as all eyes turned to face him. "You seem like you have the tools to find this thing by yourselves, so why come to us?"

"You are three of the most influential demons in all of Pentagram City." Eggman explained, "You know this city like the back of your hand, plus if we're to take the piece for ourselves then we would need extra hands on deck."

Hiding his excitement and ignoring the looks he got from Vel and Valentino, Vox placed his hands behind his back and walked around the table towards Eggman. "Before we agree," One look from him shut down any form of outburst from his two colleagues, "I would like some assurance that you'll hold up your end of our bargain."

"If you're talking about a soul contract, then I'm afraid that is quite impossible." When Vox looked confused, Eggman explained, "There are certain rules that must be followed when it comes to the Multiverse. And since our souls originate from other worlds, then any contract you make would be null and void once we leave this dimension. Meaning..."

"We can't own your souls." Vox finished, grumbling to himself.

"I suppose you'll just have to trust us." Loki smirked.

Vox didn't like it, he liked having control, but this was the opportunity of a lifetime and he wasn't going to pass it up for anything. He sighed and held out his hand in a normal gesture, no strings attached, for once. "In exchange for a piece of the power of the Spear of Destiny, you'll have the full support of the Vees."

"WHAT?!" The other two Vees shouted in outrage. They couldn't even own their souls and Vox was still accepting the deal?! What the hell was he doing?! They both stood up in outrage, only for cable wires to sprout from the floor and forcefully place them back into their seats.

"SHUT UP!!!" Vox commanded, something that irked the two other demons as they glared, the wires loosening before disappearing. "We need this! Don't you see that? Alastor mopped the floor with our defenses and has left us vulnerable. Once we get that spear we will be unstoppable and nobody will ever fuck with us again!"

The two other Vees looked unsure, not liking the fact that this deal had so many holes in it. Vox was taking a big risk all for revenge, a risk that could tear them apart and destroy everything they've built. But they knew there was no changing his mind so they both nodded in agreement.

"With that out of the way, where do we start?" Vox asked as he straightened out his suit.

Eggman and the other members of the Legion of Doom grinned, "In order to attract the attention of the one who holds the piece of the spear, we need to attack a building called the Hazbin Hotel." Loki told them, much to their delight.

A chance to attack and destroy that shit hotel, after all the trouble it's caused them and their soul contracts? Now Valentino was fully on board, this gave him the chance to get Angel back and remind him who owns him. Velvette could get so much attention with this, already preparing a Live Stream.

Vox was practically drooling, another chance to kill Alastor so he could show him who's boss?

"Hell yeah."

The Hazbin Hotel

"WELCOME TO THE HAZBIN HOTEL!" Charlie announced with her usual flair, presenting her grand dream and passion project. Even though there isn't really much passion going on inside the hotel that is. The Guardians entered the hotel and observed the impressive main lobby, and were fairly surprised that there wasn't a single patron inside the building.

You see after explaining who they were, what they were doing in Pentagram City in the first place, and how imperative it was that they find the piece of the spear before the Legion could, Charlie wasted no time in inviting them to the hotel so that they could gather their bearings and collaborate so that they could find the Legion before they could cause more damage.

Despite destruction being the norm in the city, these were still her people at risk, and Charlie wasn't going to stand by while her kingdom was at risk.

Alastor snickered behind Vaggie as they saw the surprised looks on everyone's faces. Husk stopped sculling his drink, Angel dropped his phone and kept his eyes on Batman, biting his lips, and Nifty kept cackling as she chased after a small bug.

"The fuck is this?!" Husk asked, asking the question on everybody's minds.

Charlie laughed nervously as she closed the doors behind her and walked to the head of the group, rubbing her hands anxiously. "Guys, these are our new friends! Twilight, Starlight, Sonic, Mario, Tony, and Batman!" She introduced with enthusiasm, presenting the Guardians with her arms while only a few of them waved awkwardly.

"H-Hi!" Twilight stuttered out, feeling the awkwardness in the room.

Husk looked back and forth between the strange individuals and the others before asking, "You mind explainin' to me why there are three humans, a rat, and two fuckin' horses down here?"

"Hey, I'm not complainin'." Angel said before walking over and leaning on Batman's shoulder. "Hey there, big boy~ Quite the fancy belt you got on their~ How's about we take it off and see what kinda tools we're workin' with~ And I ain't talkin' about what ya got in the belt~"

It took a lot of will power not to break the spider's arm, it really did, but Batman simply opted for walking forward and shifting his shoulder slightly, making Angel Dust stumble and fall to the floor. It was very rare and scarce for Batman to allow a smirk to grace his face.

This was one of those times.

Angel proceeded to flip off the Dark Knight as he got up and dusted himself off.

Batman stopped dead in his tracks and looked down to see the wide eyed visage of Nifty, who appeared to be transfixed with him for some reason. "You're not a bad boy..." He heard the little cyclops whisper in sadness before pouting. "You're not a bad boy at all!"

He was about to question what was going on but was stopped by Charlie, who appeared at his side and informed the Bat of Gotham, "Don't worry about Nifty. We're eighty percent sure that she's harmless." Charlie cringed when the maid repeatedly stabbed a cockroach that was already dead. Batman gave her a deadpanned stare, which caused the princess to laugh nervously. "Ummm... make that seventy five percent."

"Okay, no offense, Charlie, but ya haven't really explained all that much." Angel pointed out, flopping back onto the couch behind him.

The Princess of Hell looked to the Princess of Friendship, who gave her a kind smile before explaining everything to them in vivid detail. About the Multiverse, their roles as its guardians, the threat of the Legion of Doom, and of course, the Spear of Destiny.

It was a lot to take in, Nifty simply sat there listening with an innocent smile while Angel and Husk stood there slack jawed.

"...Holy shit." Husk muttered before taking a swig of his drink.

"Ya said it." Angel agreed.

Batman, looking to Charlie, approached her and said, "You know why we're here, yet we don't know a thing about you or your friends. What is this place? And who exactly are you, Charlie?"

Wow, way to put a girl on the spot. She looked to her girlfriend for support, which she got in the form of Vaggie taking her hand into hers. With a deep breath, she began. "For as long as I can remember, every single year Heaven has sent down angels to exterminate my people to cull the population. Year after year my people were being slaughtered, butchered, so I decided to do something about it.

"I started this hotel to help redeem sinners and get them into Heaven, to stop the Exterminations and save my people's souls. The Exterminations have stopped, but only after we fought back. But with what we're trying to do here, help these sinners so that they can redeem themselves, become better people and get into Heaven."

"That's a great idea."

Wait, someone beat Twilight to it, she was about to say that exact same thing. What surprised her was who exactly said it. Everyone turned around to face the stoic expression of Batman, because he was the one who had said it.

"Wait, really?" The Guardians and Starlight asked at the same time, not quite believing what he just said.

Batman arched an eyebrow, "What? I happen to believe in helping people become better people, helping them get the help they need. There's a reason I send the majority of my Rogue's Gallery to Arkham instead of Blackgate." He knew that they wouldn't get the help they needed at Blackgate, so that's why he sent them to Arkham.

"Wow. A compliment from Batman of all people." Mario said in an amazed tone. "That's a pretty hard thing to get."

"I don't think you can get anything better than that." Iron Man added.

Alastor gave Charlie a smile, "The princess has that effect on people."

While Charlie blushed at the attention, Twilight perked up and gasped, "You're a princess too?!"

It was Charlie's turn to perk up, "Wait, you're a princess?!"

"Uh huh!"

"Cool! I'm the Princess of Hell! What about you?"

"I'm the Princess of Friendship!"

"Oh my gosh, that's so cool!"

Vaggie couldn't help but smile at the scene, she loved it whenever Charlie was happy, it warmed her normally cold and hardened heart. Add to the fact that Charlie had made a new friend made her even happier, her smile growing when she saw both princesses jump on the spot.

Starlight smirked at Twilight, she just had this aura of kindness that was surprisingly matched by Charlie's own aura. The fact that Twilight was willing to give her another chance, after everything she had done, it just showed her the kind of pony she was.

The two of them were about to approach the pair of princesses, but were instantly halted by multiple cables shooting up from the ground and wrapping around them. Starlight went to light up her horn but the magic was snuffed out by another cable.

"STARLIGHT!" Sonic shouted as he bolted over alongside Mario, but they too were suddenly wrapped around by cables. The blue hedgehog struggled as multiple cables wrapped around Batman and Iron Man, the two of them had rushed forward to help their friends but found themselves bound as well.

Eventually everyone in the main lobby was bound by cables, well, everyone except Alastor, who fended off the cables with his own shadowy tentacles. He sent the tentacles down, slashing the cables apart with precision, before being struck in the back by a ball of electricity.

He landed on the ground and turned around, sending forth three tendrils that destroyed the incoming electric projectiles with ease. He was about to release his comrades but found that something was slithering up his leg. He looked down and saw a cable had latched onto his ankle. Before the Radio Demon knew it, his hands and neck were bound by electric cables and he was forced onto his knees as a taunting laughter echoed throughout the lobby.

Twilight looked to Charlie with worried eyes before the door suddenly blew up, causing everyone to wince at the sound as their attackers walked in with smug looks on their faces. The Guardians watched the three Vees enter the hotel with curious and serious eyes.

Who were these guys?

And why were they here?

Vox chuckled as he adjusted the lapels on his jacket, "Alastor! Good to see you, buddy!" He greeted sarcastically as he strutted into the hotel with a shit eating grin on his face. "You're looking like shit, keep it up!" He leaned into Alastor's face and smiled before turning his head to gaze at the Guardians. "So, you're the Guardians of the Multiverse, huh?" He walked over and scraped his blue claws over Tony's mask, "This tech is revolutionary! I can't wait to-" He was cut off by Valentino barging past him, causing him to stagger and grumble under his breath.

"Well, hello, Angel baby~" Valentino said as he leaned down into his worker's face and blew a puff of smoke into his face before cupping his hand under his chin, making him look into his eyes. "You've been a disobedient bitch, haven't you? I think you've spent too much time in this shithole for my liking, so it's time to come back to the studio so that I can remind you of who owns you~"

"LEAVE HIM ALONE!" Starlight shouted, trying to reignite her horn, but was stopped by Velvette, who slapped her across the face and grabbed the back of her mane to make her look up, chuckling as she grabbed her phone and began to record her, with various hashtags and slander popping up on the screen.

They looked over to see Valentino turn his pink smoke into a chain that wrapped around Angel's wrist, "Now be a good little whore, and get your ass moving." He growled into Angel's face, scaring the living shit out of him.

"GET YOUR FUCKIN' HANDS OFF HIM YOU PIECE OF-" Whatever Husk was going to say was ended abruptly by Vox, who wrapped a cable over his mouth, silencing him.

"Ugh, never liked him, even when he was an Overlord." Vox muttered before focusing his attention on the Guardians. "So, the Guardians of the Multiverse! You've been a pain in the ass for my associates, and frankly I'm surprised that they haven't put you out of your misery yet!"

"So, you are working for the Legion." Batman guessed, already having an idea of what was going on here.

"Not for! With, you dumbass!" Velvette corrected.

"Although the deal is a bit shady," Valentino commented, letting go of Angel Dust and strutting over to Vox's side, "We didn't even get their souls and there's no guarantee that we'll even see a piece of that spear."

"So that's what this is all about!" Sonic growled as he struggled against his binds.

"So what? You fight us and the Legion lets you use the spear's power?" Iron Man asked as he tried activating his Arc Reactor, only for his armor to short circuit due to Vox's power over technology. "They're just gonna double cross you and leave this dimension with the spear without giving you a second thought!"

Vox chuckled confidently, clinking his claws together. "You let me worry about that."

"You seem desperate, old pal! Are you still pissy that I completely tore your little tower apart without even trying?" Alastor taunted with a laugh, causing Vox to glitch angrily. "Let's face it, Vox. You were and still are a little, insecure brat with a God complex. The truth is you were ever only worth a damn when you were by my side, and even then I'm giving you too much credit." Alastor could see he was getting to the Tv Demon, he was visibly shaking now. Just a little more and he would lose focus and it would give him the chance to free himself. "The truth is you could never accept that I'm better than you. You're nothing with or without me! You're a failure, Vox! And you always will be!"

"F-F-F-F-U-U-U-UC-C-C-CKING AS-S-S-S-SSHO-O-O-L-L-LE!!!" Vox glitched out before being whacked on the back of the head by Velvette. "Ow! The fuck was that for?" He asked, rubbing the back of his monitor.

"You dumb fuck! He's trying to rile you up so that you lose focus and release them." Velvette reminded her partner, rolling her eyes as he mumbles under his breath. "Get a grip, Vox! This is your plan, don't fuck it up!"

"Why?"

The Vees all turned to the sound of the pitiful whisper; Charlie Morningstar, who had her head held down low with her hair covering her eyes.

"The fuck she say?"

"Speak up, princesa~"

Vox walked over and leaned in, ignoring the snarling look Vaggie was giving him, and asked, "Want to say that a bit louder, princess?"

She looked up and screamed, "WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO US?!" She was loud enough that Vox took a step back as her horns emerged from her forehead, her eyes turning red with rage and genuine confusion.

The other Vees looked to one another knowingly while Vox closed his eyes and chuckled deeply. Placing his arms behind his back as the lights in the main lobby dimmed, he snapped open his eyes, his left eye turning red with black spirals as he began hypnotizing them.

"My dear friends!
TV is all about escapism, yet you want to escape?
C'mon and stay a while as I share with you
The who, what, when, where, why and how of my genius plan"

He snapped his fingers and the room went completely dark, the Hazbin crew and the Guardians of the Multiverse finding themselves in a black and white room with Vox sitting in a directors chair holding a story book, singing with Velvette and Valentino backing his vocals.

"Our scene opens on a little Mr. Voxxy
Now cut to him having no friends
It was a struggle to find anybody who could be my buddy
So instead, I watched TV all day to forget about my troubles (ooh, ooh, ooh, ah)"

He rose from his seat and marched over to his audience with his hands behind his back, tilting his head from side to side as he sang.

"I was obsessed, I couldn't stop, I wouldn't stop (no)
Until I'd seen every moving picture that exists"

Suddenly a spotlight shined down on Valentino and Velvette who were swaying from left to right while singing into the microphone.

"So, he made the decision to get into television"

Vox then suddenly appeared in front of them in a spark of electricity and shouted in their faces.

"A Tv fell on my face and now it's taken its place!"

The scene shifted again to Vox sitting in his surveillance room playing the piano with the Guardians and Hazbin crew dangling from the ceiling.

"Patience is (ooh-ah)a virtue
Good things come to those who wait(ooh-ah)
Proverbs uttered by utter fools(ooh-ah)
I'll do anything it takes"

He then proceeded to flip the piano and snap his fingers, the scene glitching out and transitioning to the three Vees walking down the red carpet towards Vee Tower with camera's flashing from the sides.

"Are you ready for trouble?
Got you binge watching
You'd better make it double
You can't stop me from cooking up this instant classic (ooh-ah)
You and your friends will look fantastic(ooh, ooh, ooh, ah)"

He opened his left eye and they felt like they were being sucked in. The group suddenly found themselves in a red space with Vox and the other Vees looming over them, their forms colored black, save for their eyes, which were red to make them more intimidating.

Vox scooped them all up in his hand and began shaking them around like a pair of dice.

"The red carpet is rolled out
Come and get your tickets
Before they're all sold out
Don't wanna miss this moment(ooh-ah)
When that spear is mine
I get creative control of your real life"

He then threw them all like dice as the scene shifted to Tv footage of Vox-2-Nite, with the man of the hour spinning around in his chair holding a stack of paper.

"Ladies and gentlemen, excuse the interruption
The following message goes out to the stars of our show
The Hazbin crew
And we're rolling, let's go"

They then found themselves dangling in a black void with a giant Vox standing before them, his eyes wide and his grin large, blood dripping from the side of his mouth.

"Do you wanna know why I chose you?
Do you wanna know why I chose you?
'Cause you're stupidest show that I've ever seen
And if I can make you entertaining, I can do anything"

He then laughed maniacally as the world spun around, shifting into the main lobby, the group still tied up as the three Vees danced towards them, snapping their fingers from side to side as they sang.

"Are you ready for trouble?
Got you binge watching"

The scene shifted again to the three Vees looming over the city, with Vox at the top, his back turned to them as he clenched his fist, electricity crackling at his fingertips.

"You'd better make it double
You can't stop me from cooking up this instant classic(ooh-ah)
You and your friends will look fantastic(ooh, ooh, ooh, ah)"

They appeared in a blue, staticky void with a giant Vox rising from below, his hypnotic eye glowing brightly while Velvette and Valentino dancing and singing on flying platforms around him. He grabbed Alastor and Twilight with his giant hands and looked down at them.

"The red carpet is rolled out
Come and get your tickets
Before they're all sold out
Don't wanna miss this moment(ooh-ah)"

He threw them right into the others, sending them flying through the void as Vox continued.

"When that spear is mine
I get creative control of your real"

He appeared behind them in an electrical flash waved the back of his hand with flourish flair.

"Grab a seat and let's seal the deal!"

He then backhanded them through a Tv screen as he finished his song, Twilight, Starlight, and Charlie screaming in fear as they smashed through the glass.

"When that precious spear is mine
I get creative control of your real liiiiiiife!!!"

He then laughed like a deranged maniac as Velvette and Valentino spun around him on their platforms, singing the final notes of the song before Vox snapped his fingers. The three Vees then reappeared in the main lobby of the Hazbin Hotel, Vox grinning madly as he ceased his hypnosis.

"And scene!"
