[3P POV]
Thousands of years after Aurelion and his brothers banishment to Hell Aurelion felt quite bored, Aurelion had what most people could never dream of, he had power and lots of it at that with him still being the most powerful Archangel alongside his brother and even the strongest of Demons could not lay a finger on him, as the Grand Duke of Hell he has the exact same authority as the Magne Family which only they had the power to negate any of his orders; Aurelion could easily destroy any plane of existence, the entire universe and all of the others, oh yes there is more than one universe in all of creation although the one Aurelion and Lucifer reside in is the main one; There are no alternate versions for any of the Angels or God.
Aurelion still has all of his Angelic Power and can perform Angelic Magic as well as any form of Dark Magic or Dark Power yet the only one he could really fight against in Hell is Lucifer though it would always end in a stalemate, the few more powerful entities (God, Satan, The Light Beyond the Stars, Asherah, The Root of All Evil, Azathoth) than them could not care less about such trivial things, overall Aurelion spends his days managing Hell and the upper class as well as making sure all the Sins (aside from Lucifer) are managing their rings properly and in order.
A female girl with bright silver hair in a maid outfit runs in "Master Aurelion, you have a meeting with the Overlords today would you like me to cancel it?" She asks "No its fine Melissa" He responds; Aurelion was a Hellborn Demon who Aurelion had found in the streets and taken in, she is like a little sister to Aurelion and his adviser and personal assistant. (allowing her to manage and cancel Aurelions meetings, arrange funds, establish orders upon others, and more; All of which are while only given explicit permission by Aurelion) Melissa however is deeply in love with Aurelion due to seeing his benevolent nature and acknowledges all he does for Hell and even personally believes he should be the Ruler of Hell (much like many other Demons) and would always trust and complete any task he would give her and she would even give her life for Aurelion without any second thoughts; Aurelion remains oblivious to her feelings but acknowledges her devotion to him (not as it actually is) and cherishes his close bond with her.
"Well I guess im going out then, I trust you will be fine being in charge while im here?" Aurelion says as he alters is clothing with a snap "Of course Master" Melissa said with a gleaming smile "Weve known each other for years, you can just call me Aurelion" He says reciprocating her bright smile before walking through a Golden Portal to the Overlords Headquarters in Sin City, a small city like territory ran by Carmilla Carmine near Pentagram City, it is the base of Carmilla Carmine and her operations as well as where the Overlords commonly meet up for their meetings.
"Right on time my lord" Carmilla said after Aurelions portal led him to the front of to the front of the main meeting room before closing "My lord" the other Overlords say in response to his presence in the same manner as Carmilla; All around the table he saw the majority of Hells Overlords: Missi Zilla a Kaiju Demon and effective leader by force of Jurassic Island, Stellar the egocentric red bird and leader of Hell's music industry as well as a neutral rival of Alastor and Vox ironically he is not the arch rival of either, Rosie the quiet but supportive leader of Cannibal Town, as well as Sock and Buskin the conjoined twins and leaders of Hell's Theaters and mainly the stage entertainment as well, and finally Carmilla Carmine a Fallen Angel (a fact none of the other Overlords know) as well as Hell's highest ranking and most powerful Overlord and "Head of the Table" despite this Aurelion is acknowledged as the Overlords leader.
"I see the Vs and Alastor could not make it once more?" Aurelion points out "No Sir, despite this being a pressing matter the four did not seem to even make an effort, though we are all grateful you could make it" Carmilla says seeming glad Aurelion is here "Well as noble man it is not very gentlemanly to deny the request of a lady now is it?" Aurelion teased, Carmilla couldnt help but blush at this but Aurelion remained oblivious to his charm; Carmilla cleared her throat and gets back on topic "Anyway as you all know the Kingpins are starting to rise up, more specifically The Resistance a criminal organization quite literally hell bent on taking us as well as the higher classes down" Carmilla explains.
"Excuse my boldness but this is a bit of bullshit, you called us here to tell us a bunch of a couple of low-classed scum want to riot hard? Im betting its just a couple of jacked up Sinners, like that situation hasnt happened already before" Stellar says blatantly while apparently finding himself amusing "I was getting to the important part, and im sure you would know all about the lower class, seeing as they are the only ones that enjoy your 'music'" Carmilla smugly responds and some of the Overlords chuckle, despite not speaking up Stellar was becoming more red than even his fur in terms of anger.
"Though regardless of that little fact Stellar, you are correct that any ordinary set of Sinners would pose no trouble to the likes of us, but this is the Pride Ring and they have got their hands on something that does pose an immense threat" Carmilla explains "What is it, dear?" Rosie asks curiously "Angelic Weaponry" Carmilla replies in a slightly concerned tone, the other Overlords gasp "Gee I wonder how they got their hands on something like that" Stellar says sarcastically to Carmilla, he was still clearly annoyed by his earlier insult by Carmilla regardless; Aurelion fires Stellar a dark look and he instantly shuts up.
Carmilla gets back on subject "Some of them managed to bypass my main base's defences and take some of the weapons we were shipping almost en route, since they caught us by surprise we didnt have enough time to prepare for a full on assault and one of my daughters are now left with a permanent leg injury" Carmilla explains with a slightly worried expression on her face "Gee you caught off guard? that must have been embarrassing" Stellar says smugly.
A visible look of annoyance would start to show an Aurelions face, he was not too angry on the side of Carmilla but rather the fact that Stellar found the whole situation to be a joke and was openly mocking the damaged state of her daughter in front of her, Aurelion had to admit he was surprised and impressed by the fact that she hasnt put him in his place which despite Aurelion not being keen on doing since he disliked the hierarchy Stellar might be the first person to actually lead Aurelion to do such a thing.
"And now Im requesting the assistance of all Overlords including the ones not here because this has become a serious situation" Carmilla said "No offense Carmilla but why do you need all of us havent you got your own army?" Rosie asks "I do indeed however the Resistance is more dangerous than the normal criminal organizations in Pride, I have seen their prowess, skills, strategy, and the way they fight up close and I will tell you this is no situation to be taken lightly and I will not lead my people to their deaths" Carmilla responds to Rosie and stares at Stellar for the latter half of what she was saying "So if they really do have Angelic Weaponry and know how to use them and you consider them a threat, then this really is serious" Sock points out "No shit, thats what she just said" Stellar responds blatantly "Well ill see if I can get Alastor to help out with the situation" Rosie says to Carmilla "That would be much appreciated Rosie, his control in Dark Magic would be of much help" Carmilla said gratefully.
"Pfft, your asking for the assistance of the Radio Demon when you have the might of a devilishly masterful prodigy such as myself?" Stellar flaunts "Hey Stellar, wasnt it just last week that the Radio Demon kicked your ass and left you as nothing but a flaying skull, boy are you lucky you are immortal" Aurelion states while grinning, this time all the other Overlords were dying of laughter and once more "I- I- I bet I can go better than you and get the assistance of the TV Demon himself" Stellar says trying to collect together his pride "If you can get the most influential Overlord in the Pride Ring then that will be something to see, but just like Alastor easily beat your ass, wasnt it just the day before yesterday that Vox turned your music down to Radiosilence?" Rosie jokes, once more everyone laughs which this time even Aurelion chuckled a bit and Stellar may just be creating a new shade of red for his fur 3 times over.
"Hey, why do we need the other Overlords if we have the Grand Duke cant he take them out with zero effort?" Buskin asks "It is true that Lord Aurelion is capable of such a thing and much MUCH more, the power of the Grand Duke surpasses even Queen Lilith and her daughter by miles if not more" Carmilla states, Aurelion nods confirming this fact "How the fuck did someone like you end up as the Grand Duke and not the King of Hell instead?" Stellar asks dumbfounded "Because he is my equal, and I dont care really care about being royalty"" Aurelion states "My lord surely you jest" Sock asks seeking confirmation "Ask him yourself next time you see him, he will confirm it" Aurelion adds, the entire room aside from Carmilla and Missi Zilla are in more than just deep shock.
Aurelion's bright smile returns "Well, I believe that concludes this meeting, if the situation becomes too much then I will handle it personally" He issues as everyone besides Stellar seems to have a relieved expression "Thank you my lord for attending this meeting" Carmilla says gratefully "Anything for a dear friend" Aurelion replies as he teleports in a puff of golden smoke and lightning, albeit unharmful to those around it "Hey Carmilla I dont think I have ever seen you this flushed before, is it possible you have a bit of a thing for the Grand Duke, Aurelion?" Stellar finally found the nerve to speak up and smugly no less; Carmilla's face turned bright red and Stellar only realized what he did meant certain death, if he was lucky he'd get out with only a few dismembered limbs, who could say if blood was spilled in that instant.
{Scene Break}
Aurelion was once more walking down the streets of the Pride Ring, he was considering going to the Envy Ring to go for a bit of oceanside sea sighting and he quite enjoyed bringing gifts for the children of its rulers Seviathan and Hellsa Von Eldritch; Aurelion had only recently discovered about their abuse by searching through their shadows with Dark Magic but Aurelion knew he couldnt really do anything as he would cause a huge outbreak in monarchy withing the hierarchy and he didnt want to put either of the kids in more danger than they already were.
Aurelion was in the middle of thinking before he heard a familiar voice "-- So im opening a first of its kind hotel that rehabilitates Sinners— ~ I have a dream I wish to tell—" Aurelion had heard and seen enough, from what he had just witnessed Charlie was apparently going to open a hotel inviting Sinners to her front door; While Aurelion knew all Sinners wont bad and didnt care much about hierarchy he knew that the majority were extremely violent psychopaths hell bent on causing as much pain and misery as possible, Aurelion knew he had to do something, he walks into an empty alleyway; A Dark Sigil appears out of nowhere as night-miniature and nigh-invisible dark creatures of different intangible shapes come out "Shadow Spies go out and find this "Happy Hotel" and notify me of their location as soon as you find it" Aurelion commands.
A few hours later Aurelion had been told of their location and Aurelion looks through the shadows to see the Radio Demon destroying a battleship of some type of Snake? Or at least thats what Aurelion believed, Aurelion then snapped his fingers and throughout all of the Pride Ring time had almost completely stopped with only the strongest of entities and of course Lucifer and himself being able to move unaffected in this state; Aurelion then travels through his shadow spies and reappears out of pure darkness to see the people of the "Happy Hotel" which was then renamed the "Hazbin Hotel" and the cast of it turned around walking in the direction of the hotel, Aurelion then turns invisible and returns time back to normal and a few moments after the inhabitants of the Hotel enter Aurelion knocks.
"Are you FUCKING KIDDING ME?! This is the second time this day, alright Asshole you better fuck off before I fucking make you" A girl could be heard screaming, as she opens the door and looks to the side "Whos next?! the fucking Grand Duke of H—" The girl cuts herself off as she stares at the person at the door in front of her, her jaw completely drops "Uh- Uhm Sir I am so sorry I- I didnt–" The girls tries to speak up "Its okay, Vagatha I understand after all you always were the fiery one" Aurelion responds smiling and clearly unaffended by her outburst "How- How did you–" she says but is cut off "Hey Vaggie, who is it this time?" Charlie asks clearly tired; Alastor seemed curious.
"Charlie its– Its…" Vaggie tries to find the right words but as soon as Aurelion walks in everyone except for Angel Dust and Nifty had a look of disbelief including Alastor "No fucking way, Alastor are you casting some type of illusion spell? because this type of shit is not something to joke about" Husk said in a more serious and possibly dumbfounded tone tone than normal "Uhm, and who the fuck is this now?" Angel asks confused and clearly unimpressed "Ill just go explain to you again, Nifty get over here you dont seem to understand either" Vaggie said in a serious tone similar to Husks "Oh, here we go again" Angel Dust said nonchalantly.
"Thousands of years ago, as you know Lucifer had fallen from Heaven and when he fell he and his Angelic ally and servant Paimon, had encountered a being rivaling if not being equivalent to the power of his master, no one knows who this being is, is he an Angel? a Demon? some type of Eldritch Beast? What we do know is that even Heaven fears the mention of his name and not even they would even explain to the ones in Hell; This being had eventually become the Grand Duke of Hell and with power allegedly equal to Lucifer, his abilities trumps that of the strongest Demons and even all Angels aside from Lucifer himself with ease" Vaggie explains.
"Woah so this guy is stronger than even Al?" Nifty asks "And even Charlie?" Angel Dust adds "Yes, and he is far more dangerous than any one else you could think of aside from none other than Lucifer" Vaggie states "So basically just dont piss this guy off and stay on his good side?" Angel Dusk asks "Yeah I guess that would be alright" Vaggie responds "Good I think I might just go and say hi…" Angel Dust says with a smug and flirtatious grin "Okay thats good" Vaggie seemed relaxed but then instantly rethought the entire situation "WAIT ANGEL DONT—" She tries to call out.
"Hey Mister…" He says flirtatiously "I heard your kind of a big shot, Im a bit of a big shot myself, you know right down if you know what I mean, if your looking to become a member of the Hotel I can offer you an even better Member…" Angel Dust says a bit more than teasingly "Uhh… No??" Aurelion says awkwardly trying to avoid the topic of something so lustful altogether.
"But yes im here to stay little niec– I mean Charlotte or Charlie" Aurelion says remembering his niece isnt a little kid anymore and that Charlie does not even know he is her uncle "Charlie is fine; You have no idea how amazing that is to me, are you here for redemption?" She asks gleamingly "Uhm no, im here to… Help out around here" He kindly clarifies "Oh thats fine then, youll help out like Alastor right?" Charlie asks slightfully disappointed but still happy "Uhm, sure?" Aurelion responds "Great do you need a room here, ill get you and Alastor both your keys" She says still happily as she rushes off to the desk, boy oh boy this will not end well.
{Later On; The Next Morning}
Aurelion is sitting in a small cafe, the same cafe which Alastor had his fight with Stellar in the previous week leaving the musical Overlord briefly without his tongue, his entire skin, and being only left as just an [un]dead skull of which took a few days to have fully healed; There was a reason why Aurelion believed in fate "What would you like to order sir?" a small Imp servant asked "Duck" Aurelion replied blandly "Im sorry sir we dont have that here" the Imp Servant responded "No I meant duck" Aurelion clarified nonchalantly.
"Sir, what?" the Imp servant asks confused "Your loss, quite literally of your life no less" Aurelion stated "Sir whatever do you m—" The Imp did not even get a chance to finish hi sentence as before he could have time to react a golden glow appeared as an Angelic Blade made out of Heavenly Light struck the table and anything in its short range was instantly incinerated and erased from existence, other than Aurelion who was completely unharmed by this attack.
When the attacker came into view at turned out to be none other than his egocentric brother Lucifer Magne "Sup brother lets fight" Lucifer said grinning wide "Your saying it like a child but if you insist" Aurelion replied returning the broad grin, Aurelion snapped and the Imp servant was brought back into existence and Aurelion had cast a magical barrier stopping all interference from outside and any of the attacks from getting out "Aw your such a bore, who cares if a few lowly Imps get hurt" Lucifer said slightly disappointedly "No need to cause needless deaths brother, now are you going first or should I?" Aurelion said still grinning expectedly.
Lucifers grin extended as he summoned his blade out of Heavenly Light once more as Aurelion mirrors his action and summons a blade of equal length, range, and sharpness as the charge at each other each parrying and delivering an attack with immense precision, skill, and measurement and as they both were blasted back by their onslaught of attacks they dispersed their swords and went straight for their "better" capabilities: Lucifer spread his hands out onto the ground as small spikes of red Demonic Lightning came out of the ground and materialized it as a pseudo-spikes, Aurelion summoned his own dark tentacles out of the ground similar to Alastor's once his hand touched the floor despite neither of them needing to actually make contact with the ground to initiate any of their spells, magic, or powers.
Their abilities clashed and had equal effect causing relentless destruction from all around as the fabric of space and time started to warp, rip, and tear and as the two twins were having too much fun they both eventually summoned a blast of Heavenly Light and fired it and they both were hit and greatly damaged, as the barrier collapsed they were both kneeling slightly injured on the floor "Lo- looks like its a stalemate again" Aurelion said while chuckling "I- I guess so" Lucifer accepted without any denial, arrogance, or even pride, just plain old fun with his best friend and sibling which even Lucifer would see as the only few people he had left and would not want to lose or put his ego before.
The twins had healed from their injuries almost instantly and with no more damage to themselves Aurelion restores the town how it was before their battle "Your too kind on these people" Lucifer said amusingly "Huh, I guess so" Aurelion responded still smiling just like Lucifer "Heh, see you around Aurel" He said to him using his nickname that he hadnt used for Aureloon since thousands of years ago "You too, Luci" Aurelion responded also using the nickname he hadnt used for Lucifer since the fall; Both of which nicknames were used by the ones closest to them.
Lucifer smiles as he opens a Golden Angelic Portal and walks through it leaving Aurelion to the town, Aurelion decides to go visit Carmilla as he does warping the fabric of space around himself rather than just teleporting.
At the gate of the largest industry of Sin City, Carmilla's Base, Aurelion knocked on the massive gates as the small noise reverberated through the large hunk of metal easily sending a message through to the ones on the inside, inside Carmilla's two daughters Clara and Odette have a look of horror on their faces, though its not due to Aurelion he could presumably guess what caused this reaction "I- Im afraid Miss Carmilla isnt- isnt–" Odette tried to speak up but she along with Clara burst into tears as Aurelion comforts them in his arms "Hey Hey its okay girls, ill handle this" Aurelion states trying to comfort the two "Im guessing its the usual?" Aurelion asked "Yes, they are up there" Odette answers as Aurelion opens a portal and steps through it to the main doors where Aurelion can hear Carmilla's screams, and all he can do is wait.
The doors swing open to reveal the King of Hell himself, his dear brother: Lucifer Magne "I see your here too, dont worry Carmilla is "fine" I didnt harm her, really, I didnt harm her… I didnt harm her too bad!" Lucifer slightly shouts the last part as he laughs wickedly "Well I guess I should be off now, my wife misses me much; By the way Paimon, the Sins and I are having a meeting tomorrow and we would LOVE for you to be there" Lucifer said expectantly "Uhm, sure ill be there" Aurelion weakly smiles "Good to see I have such a reliable brother" Lucifer says smugly before teleporting away in a golden puff of smoke; While Lucifer felt like the good old brother Aurelion used to know he was just reminded that he is now dealing with the King of Hell even if he is his equal in power, in authority he is his superior and Aurelion would do anything in his power to help people, though Aurelion was certain that no matter what Lucifer would never take away his position which he knew he couldnt anyway since it would cause a social riot in all 7 Rings due to all of Aurelion's supporters, these days it just feels like Aurelion is treading on a thin line that he dare not fully cross between who is really important to him.
Aurelion rushes in "Carmilla, CARMILLA!" Aurelion rushes in with a worried expression and so do her daughters "Is she alright?" Clara asks worried "She will be, and girls promise to tell no one of what you see here?" Aurelion asks slightly strictly "We trust you Aurelion, you have always been here for us so if all you want is us to keep a little secret, and with all you have done for us its the least we can do" Odette speaks up.
"Its not really a little secret but-" Aurelion stops himself and just decides to proceed, Aurelions dark and slightly corrupted wings sprouted out of his back and glew a bright golden as well as his eyes glowing in just the same color, Aurelion would begin to heal Carmilla "Your– Your a Fallen Angel–" Odette says "--Just like Mother?" Clara adds and finishes Odette's sentence, or so it is to be presumed "Fallen Archangel, and former Prince of Heaven; Lucifer's tortured her soul itself, spiritual damage takes longer to heal rather than physical damage, which if it was that I could get rid of it instantly" Aurelion explains and clarifies.
Eventually Aurelion manages to heal Carmilla enough, before she wakes up Aurelion just recalls what exactly it is Lucifer always does; Lucifer owns Carmilla and Missi Zilla's souls, Lucifer granted them both with their immense powers at the cost of their souls, Lucifer used to grant Demons with their immense powers but too many turned against them that Lucifer got fed up with their "Bullshit" as how Lucifer had put it, Carmilla and Zilla were the only effective and "loyal" people Lucifer had owned but it was extremely one sided, Lucifer gave Carmilla the ability to scry through all the rings of the Pride Ring just like Lucifer and Aurelion could do themselves thanks to Dark Magic, regardless Lucifer normally sent Carmilla and Zilla on assaszination missions, and if they failed or messed up any major order Lucifer had given them…
Lucifer had the soul of Carmilla and thus can summon her at any place at any time through a soul contracts which Carmilla had signed, back on subject if Carmilla or Zilla had failed Lucifer would punish them by putting their souls through immense pain though Aurelion, while Aurelion was always there for both Zilla and Carmilla, though Zilla had only once been tortured and Lucifer knew since then Zilla would never fail which Aurelion had also acknowledged though through pity; Lucifer has the power to summon an extreme degree of pain throughout their entire soul causing them to feel pain throughout their entire existence and being, similar to Angelic Weapons though soul contracts couldnt actually kill the souls it held for the contracts creators, it could cause far more than enough pain to either make people beg for their life (afterlife) to make them want to die once more on extreme occasions.
Aurelion had tried to get Carmilla out of the contract before by doing things such as bribing Lucifer, offering hundreds of souls, and so much more, of course he did the same for Zilla but she wasnt as important to him but if given the full chance he would get her out as well; Carmilla awakens with a gasp "What my lord im so sorry I— please dont!!" She begs but as she realizes whos arms shes in she just collapses into tears "Mom?" Clara says "Im sorry my daughters you shouldnt see me like this its just–" Carmilla tries to explain "Mom its okay, you dont have to hold it on here Lord Aurelion is here" Odette says, eventually Clara and Odette leave and Aurelion decides to stay over considering Carmilla's mental state.
"Its okay hes gone, im here and your safe now I promise" Aurelion states reassuringly "Im sorry, its just I– I–" She tries to sleep "Its okay, just rest now and I will take care of everything" Aurelion stated with a bright smile, Carmilla returned the smile even if her own one was a bit weakened to Aurelion it was enough to say she trusted him which was enough, eventually Carmilla fell asleep on Aurelion on the couch from the traumatizing pressure as he then teleports away shortly after while leaving a "Get well soon" gift as well as a spell that let her have sweet dreams for the rest of the night and made them so they also spiritually ease her pain, and gets back to the hotel and thinks, he thinks about what might happen next.
{Scene Break}
On the next morning after going to the Hotel to keep watch on his niece he wakes up to the bickering of a powerful Demon and Nephilim fighting over the name of the hotel "I say Happy is better it symbolizes more about what were doing here, not this Hellish name" Charlie could be heard shouting while trying to keep gone and warping reality to change the name of the Hotels sign from 'Hazbin' to 'Happy' "Ah ah ah my dear, the name is meant to be hellish because we are indeed in Hell, not to mention the name is more fitting to the entire Hotels aesthetic, with all due respect Princess how do you expect people to take the name of Happy seriously, that word barely has any meaning in the afterlife unless you were to be in Heaven WHICH WE ARE NOT" Alastor retains his smile while altering his static voice to be almost as high as Charlie's as he warps reality to change the name of the hotel from 'Happy' back to 'Hazbin' and as they bicker more Alastor seems to have been fed up.
"Very well then it appears as if you dont need my services, then I shall be on my way" Alastor turns around and heads for the exit "WAIT!" Charlie calls out to him, Alastor turns around with a smug grin "Wonderful" He replied before Charlie could even speak knowing what she would have said, Alastor snaps his fingers and once more warps reality and changes everything back to the way it was after he had arrived except for the signs name "I leave that up to you my dear" Alastor says knowing Charlie would have to do it if she would want Alastor to stay, but before Charlie could Aurelion walked down.
"No need Princess leave it to me" Aurelion issues "Im afraid the sign and needing my services says otherwise" Alastor states "I assume you believe Princess Charlie needs your services because you are a diplomat of Hell and thus can get meetings with Heaven on account of Lucifer and also have a deal of great power" Aurelion states "However with me here it all means nothing, as the closest and most trusted ally of Lucifer I can issue anything I want, I can even get meetings with Heaven but straight to the Archangels themselves rather than just a few Seraphims, I have immense wealth only surpassed by Lucifer and Mammon which means nigh-endless financial support of the hotel, and finally I am infinitely stronger than you and you know it" Aurelion elaborates and with his reasoning Aurelion successfully stuns the whole crew leaving Alastor completely humbled.
"Oh and Alastor, while we do do this do do this with our hands, only someone like me and Lucifer can change the fabric of reality without snapping or hand gestures, not saying your not special I just wanted to point out a fact" Aurelion states smugly "You are a funny one indeed, but it is preposterous that even–" Alastor is left dumbfounded when he looks at the sign of the hotel more decorated than even his own powers could allow and he knew that Aurelion and Charlie had done no hand gestures or snapping and that the other crew members had enough power to do something like that or he would have sensed it meaning that to Alastor either God did it or he was in real deep shit in terms of power here which the latter he might not be able to say out loud.
{Scene Break; Once More}
Aurelion had just finished his meetings with the Sins, Lucifer, and Paimon discussing the basic management of the 7 Rings and what they should improve on, keep watch over, and more things about the Goetia and how Paimon should order them to act, and to emphasize the importance of their duties, eventually Aurelion notices that there was another Overlord meeting this day which Carmilla's daughters had practically begged Aurelion to come to in worry for their mothers current state which Aurelion of course did not hesitate to attend to after hearing that.
Currently, at the headquarters the meeting starts "Welcome Hells Overlords, despite the meeting only yesterday it should be noted that The Resistance has gained much more territory using my Blessed Weaponry, they ware killing Sinners left and right and even massacurred fellow Overlords Sock and Buskin's performance, the conjoined Overlords could only nod in sorrow.
"This has become serious but despite it all I think the best option is to send Alastor and Vox to take out these 'uprisers'" Carmilla states but Rosie has a look of annoyance on her face "We cannot put those two together! Last time they fought Alastor nearly ended up with his spine broken" Rosie states "Hmf, serves him right; Besides its not like he didnt just regenerate right after" Stellar chuckles "I will make you choke on your own feathers you little blood curdling sparrow" Rosie issues bitterly "Try me old bitch!" Stellar replies with full confidence "How about neither of you start, we have more pressing matters" Aurelion states "Oh yeah and what if I dont?" Stellar asks smugly "Enough! You will not address the Grand Duke like that, you must— You must—" Carmilla tries to hop in and defend Aurelion but nearly collapses onto the floor "Hey Carmie are you alright dear?" Rosie asks worriedly "Im fine I just–" Carmilla tries to speak up but grasps nonexistent physical heart which of course is where her soul resided in her.
"Did someone wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?" Stellar pridefully mocks, Carmilla manages to get up with some difficulty with the help of Aurelion "As I said Im fine, what we need to do is take care of this situation, it is no joke but you all seem to be treating this like its the run of the mill day in Hell, its not. Sinners are dying left and right before extermination, major nonfunding organizations are being taken down our territory is getting seized and if we dont act now it may affect the enitre order of the Pride Ring; If it comes to that either Lucifer or Aurelion, possibly both will get involved, it it were to be the former then extreme torment awaits us" Carmilla elaborates to the others causing them aside from Stellar to actually consider personally taking care of the case.
"Dosent matter anyway, Angelic Weapon or not their just a bunch of average Sinners anyway so its not like they can match the power of us Overlords, let alone nowhere close to the Grand Duke; If it is too much of a problem for us Overlords which it certainly wont be, we just send all our servants and Sinners to die so we can just rebuild" Stellar responds unworried and unashamed "Do you have no shame in what you just said?! You are a pathetic excuse for an Overlord and completely unworthy of your title, we will not send our people to get slaughtered for our protection!" Carmilla stated with disgust in her voice "And what exactly are you going to do if I do exactly that with my servants?" Stellar asked smugly, as well as overconfidence, arrogance, and an immense degree of pride easily being found in his voice "I will physically deliver your expulsion, then your territory and status will be—" Carmilla is threatening but collapses onto the floor gasping "Oh my dear lord!" Buskin could be heard in a worried and surprised tone.
"Hmf, maybe I should be Head of the Tables, I for one would not—" Stellar was gloating before a black tentacle out of pure darkness came out of nowhere and strangled Stellar "H- How; Why do I feel like im actually dying again?" Stellar asks confused and possibly afraid "Well its something like this, this one tentacle is enough to hold down a Deadly Sin with ease and this isnt even remotely close to its full dark capacity" Aurelion states "The reason why you feel something akin to the cold touch of death is because this tentacle is enchanted to be able to hold a soul and erase it entirely, in other words it has the same effect, if not worse than Angelic Weaponry" Aurelion elaborates and Stellar's face turns stone cold and this time he didnt speak up anymore and was just in pure shock and absolute fear "Whats the matter Stellar? What happened to that smug smile that could charm the dirtiest of vermin and only that? Oh ho ho, thats right you forget something very important here, Im infinitely stronger than you; Hey dont fret I said the exact same to the Radio Demon, dont you ever forget it little sparrow" Aurelion said with a darkened grin, Stellar was released from the tentacle and seemingly traumatized.
The other Overlords were not scared at all or even worried because they already knew and acknowledged Aurelion's great power and only smirked at the expression Stellar wore after finally realizing at least a portion as much as they did, Aurelion comforted Carmilla and then left with a small grin for finally humbling Stellar, of course Aurelion was not bluffing about anything he said he could easily hold down a Sin with one tentacle and drain their souls and erase it, Aurelion could easily beat the strongest Demons in all of creation at their absolute peak of power and full mastery of their abilities with little to no effort and erase them from existence with a single snap, even with a thought if he so desired; Of course the exact same applied to Lucifer.
Speaking of power Aurelion had already learned everything he could, he mastered all forms of Magic, Dark Magic, Arcane Arts and more, he could control any element he desired which dosent just apply to the basic six (Fire, Earth, Water, Ice Wind, Lightning) but all of them including scientific elements, as well as other "Elements" such as Acid, Nature, Metal, and so much more; Aurelion could even create his own type of magic or spell he desired if it didnt already exist. Aurelion could also access every Demonic and Angelic Ability in existence as he has mastered all Angelic Abilities in his time in Heaven, and while he and Lucifer had never used this ability before, with Dark Magic relating to Sinner's or any type of Demon they could instantly replicate it using their Dark Magic which is indirectly the source of all their power, to put this into perspective every Sinner upon rebirth is gifted with a unique ability relating to their inner passions and their main associations within their past life such as Alastor's control over Radio, since all of these abilities were created by Dark Magic which adapted to them upon rebirth and Lucifer and Aurelion had all forms of Dark Magic no matter what Demon even if it isnt a Sinner, it could be the power of any Goetia, any Sin, Aurelion and Lucifer could instantly imitate all forms and traits of said powers and even create their own Demonic Powers.
With power like that and so much more Aurelion had no equal other than Lucifer in Hell as even The Sins, Charlie, and Lilith could not ever hope to stand up to him, by technicality Charlie with enough experience and full mastery over her powers essentially has the powers of Lucifer however her natural Demonic heritage from her mother weighs her down indefinitely to the point that her full potential could be defeated by him with the effort it takes to snap his fingers, quite literally.
Regardless when Aurelion came back to his estate he told Melissa that he would be gone for a while and that she is in charge while he is gone and that she would inform him on any upcoming events had he not received notice of them directly; Aurelion then remembered one thing he and Lucifer had forgot about for centuries, the war with Heaven and Satan, one of the points of the entire creation and founding of Hell was to gain enough power and forces to take on Heaven once more, if Aurelion and Lucifer still had the power to use their portals to get into Heaven it would be a breeze but then he realized the only person on their side capable of doing that currently was Satan if he could unseal him which he and Lucifer should have been actively working towards.
Aurelion then opened a portal to purgatory and went straight for the Cage of Satan, inside was just an area cave full of wretched stone and smells of misery and pure malevolence that had tainted the walls to make whoever or whatever was in there have those sensations feel like a 6th sense if you stayed there too long, or at least thats what Aurelion presumed "Welcome my child" A familiar dark voice had called out to the Fallen Angel using avatars of dying Cherubs "I had assumed you had forgotten me but it seems it was right to choose you specifically along with your brother; What is it you want Aurelion?" Satan asked, Aurelion bowed "I am not dishonorable master, I only wish to know if you have still kept the plan underway all these years" Aurelion gracefully requested "You doubt me, child? I have been trapped in this prison for many thousands of years and you think I would have thought about anything else other than my revenge as well astaking down Heaven once and for all?" Satan questions with a clearly agitated tone.
"Of course not my lord, I only wished to confirm your determination to go through with this which you still retain, I will find a way to free you from this prison and gather the forces of Hell to stand ready for your arrival as well as take out Heaven and that pathetic excuse for a God, then we will be the rulers of creation and you will be the only true God hence your rightful place" Aurelion issues "I knew I was correct in choosing you since the instance I first detected your presence, I knew and now I see that you are more determined, loyal, and so much more than your brother could ever be and best of all you are obedient, however your emotional restraints hold you back, though I will not touch on the subject now, when the time comes you will cease these connections, am I understood Aurelion?" Satan issues "More than so, my lord" Aurelion loyally replies.
"To free me, I need you to find me a heart full of pure darkness and malevolence so dark to the point that their pure evil shadows every other aspect of themselves, then I need you and Lucifer to combine your efforts into using your powers as well as a portion of mine to completely incinerate the 7 Seals God has placed upon me, do you have any ideas my child?" Satan asks "Yes, I have just the one, for now try and use your influence to gain a temporary body and me and Lucifer will get in contact and secure you your better host" Aurelion states "Then get to it Aurelion, I am placing my trust in you DO NOT DISAPPOINT ME!" Satan commands "Of course not master" Aurelion responds as he disappears ino a puff of Gold once more; Satan could be heard laughing twistedly, even from a long distance as well as a strange voice "See you soon, love" A feminine voice with a strange accent could be heard saying, though presumably not from Satan and easily anyone Aurelion knows already, so he simply dismissed it as his imagination.
{Scene Break; The Next Morning}
Aurelion called a meeting the next day requesting the presence of the Seven Deadly Sins, Lucifer, Lilith, Paimon, as well as Stolas, and Andrealphus; While Lucifer normally ignores meetings and his duties in general seeing that his brother is the one who called the meeting he decides to show up anyway; Throughout the halls of the Limbo which is a room near the Castle of Sin in the Pride Ring where before the meeting starts Paimon could be heard talking to his sons, both of which are from different mothers "You both are lucky to be here, as you two are the highest ranking Goetia other than myself, my two masters generously allowed you to enter and so you will show nothing but the utmost respect to them, am I understood?" Paimon orders with a serious expression, and while he wasnt screaming at them it could be heard that the situation was being taken very seriously "Yes father" The two responded with etiquette and understandment, as soon as they enter the door they are met with the Highest members of Hell's Society.
"Greetings members of Hell's high order, I have come here to discuss an extremely pressing matter and no its not The Resistance taking siege over the Pride Ring, ill assume you want me to skip to the point so here it is, thousands of years ago me and my brother Lucifer had rebelled against Heaven and the false God, with the help of our master Satan we gained unimaginable and near-indefinite amounts of dark powers that helped us amassed 1/3rd of Heaven though all the support was not Dark Magic, as you know we were failed and banished to this Inferno we now call Hell, me and Lucifer retained our Divine Powers and established Hell as a whole along with the help of most of you in this room" Aurelion elaborates "My apologies Grand Duke but I dont really see how this is getting to the point" Andrealphus said clearly bored already, Paimon shot him a look that meant near certain death if he spoke to him or Lucifer in that manor again.
"Patience, Prince Andrealphus; Back to what I was saying we took out our Angelic Army aside from Paimon and one traitor, we had lost regardless and our master was sealed and so for thousands of years we established this realm as possibly the greatest empire in all of creation depending on how you see it, but now something thing has changed that will give us an edge against Heaven" Aurelion issues, Lucifer's neutral and uncaring expression suddenly turned into a smug grin indirectly acknowledging how it was indeed a good idea to come to his meeting along with his trust in his brother "My master Satan has given me insight on how to free him, and if we can achieve that while keeping the other 8 Angels in we will be given an unquestionable advantage over Heaven and we can send our forces into the Silver City and finish what we started" Aurelion states, Lucifer practically had a full shit-eating grin spread over his face and everyone else other than Stolas was in awe.
"My lord if I may, your plan is the work of the stars, however I see one problem in this plan: While Forti would be an immeasurable loss to Heaven, both you and Lucifer combined stood no chance against Michael while empowered by God, if Michael were to have the same boost again would the result not change?" Stolas speaks up "Very observant Prince Stolas, Paimon has raised a very intelligent son indeed; Yes Michael does prove to be a very huge problem indeed but I have already thought of him, Satan can empower me and Lucifer enough to take on Michael because as God enhances the light Satan enhances the darkness, along with the fact that with Forti could not beat or a being of Satan's power which is why he sealed him instead, with Forti out of the picture and the power of a darkened Light Beyond the Stars on our side we will decimate their precious realm and start a new order, a better order with me and Lucifer as the rulers of Creation and Satan as the one true God" Aurelion issues.
"You never cease to amaze me brother, you have given us all a chance to win this eternal war; All of us will give you the support you need to secure a worthy vessel for Satan's return, at least temporarily" Lucifer stated while grinning "No need, I have just the person" Aurelion states "Oh and who might that be?" Lucifer asks curious "The Radio Demon" Aurelion replies.
As the meeting finishes Aurelion decides to head back to the hotel and keep an eye on Charlie as well as Alastor, as soon as Aurelion arrived in his hotel room through his Golden Angelic Portal and left the room he came out to find it under attack by Missi Zilla, Aurelion managed to figure out why she was here, after the meeting ended Aurelion told Lucifer about the idea of the hotel and that Alastor was in there as well he most likely sent Zilla in there as an attempt to kill everyone other than Charlie as well as deliver Alastor after she is done.
Vaggie charges at Zilla with the tip of her Angelic Spear but it snaps on her body armour, even when Alastor attacked her he had a look of fear on his face which is only natural as Zilla is the second most powerful Overlord surpassed by Carmilla who are all way more powerful than the Radio Demon; Aurelion flies down and protects the crew with a barrier of dark magic "Enough Zilla" Aurelion commands, Zilla perches her eyebrows, could she have been able to speak Aurelion knew he would have had heard her say a whole lot "This is not apart of the plan, despite what he says go back and I will handle this and make sure you are not punished" Aurelion says, Zilla backs off and runs away.
"Hold up motherfucker, you planned all this?!" Angel Dusk asks clearly enraged, Aurelion had only just realized how what he had just said could be taken a bit indirect and only now acknowledged how what he said made it seem like he had planned this "No, NO! I really didnt plan this, this was just a mistake on Lucifer's end that I had to clear up that should not have happened, it really was just a misunderstanding of an initiative" Aurelion clarifies.
"I knew we couldnt trust you!" Vaggie screeches "Guys wait, I think we should hear him out" Charlie says, Alastor didnt do anything at first but then he snapped his fingers and tentacles of massive size descended upon Aurelion but even as they hit him they just disintegrated on contact "Listen to me! I didnt mean to cause you any harm in this and I did not sens Missi Zilla after you, I didnt even know about what happened until I arrived and pieced it together!" Aurelion states "Then why didnt you come here sooner?!" Vaggie sharply replies "Because I had my duties! You cant be a Grand Duke and always have time to be in a Hotel, Hell needs to be managed cant you all understand that?!" Aurelion asks with a more agitated tone.
"To think you scream at me when I just saved your lives? Maybe Lucifer was right about you Sinners, of course that excludes you two Vaggie and Charlie" Aurelion coldly replies as he snaps as all his stuff from his room disappears and so has Aurelion himself leaving in his place a key as well as 12,000$ Charlie then has a look of intense agitation on her face "Why the fuck did you all do that? He just saved our lives and you just bark at him like hes some sort of bad Hellhound?! What is your problems, especially you Vaggie! Today we have just lost something that could have done more than help the Hotel and we just lost him! Im sorry for my attitude but I need some alone time to think on what to do next" Charlie states as she runs upstairs contemplating.
"Oh shit what have we done?" Angel Dust says realizing the reality of the situation "You mean you three assholes, me and Niff' had nothing to do with it" Husk responds nonchalantly, this was not incorrect regardless; Aurelion decided to go to an empty mountain in the Pride Ring create a physical body for Satan, as Aurelion extended his hands a glowing mix of light and dark energy swiveled around and created a temporary body wielding immense dark capacity to wield a portion of Satan's powers, a red and black mist soon appears out of thin air and entered the inanimate body before awakening and twisting and somewhat dismembering the form from the inside out "This temporary body is quite impressive, you have served me well my child" Satan said visually pleased through the host "Of course, Lord Satan" Aurelion bows on one knee "What of the situation on this 'Hazbin Hotel'? Have you gotten the new host ready?" Satan inquires "No my lord, I was 'kicked out' but I can still–" Aurelion's 'speech' is cut short by Satan "No matter weather you are their ally or not, I order you to secure my host, and kill anyone that gets in your way, am I understood?" Satan commands.
"More than, my lord, but if I may I have one request" Aurelion asks "And what is that?" Satan replies sharply "I will eliminate the Hotel but it would be too easy, I will personally hire the best assassins to take out the Hotel and secure your host and then we will seak Heaven's Light and march onto Heaven" Aurelion elaborates his plan once more "Then I suggest you get to it then, like before see it to me that you do not fail" Satan issues "Of course Master" Aurelion responds as Satan disappears with his temporary body into pure darkness "I will be watching you" Satan's voice could be heard saying, once more from a distance, this was going to be a rough year indeed, if not more.
