Chapter 3 - Welcome To Hell (Literally)

[3P POV]

Theo found himself falling through a multidimensional void between countless parallel universes each with their own storyline which exists far outside of the Ethereal Divide; Theo has a look of awe on his face, however this sensation is short as Theo is soon warped into one of these universes where Theo is dropped off into an alleyway in a strange red dimension. 

[Theo POV]

What just happened, no genuinely what happened right now; It was bad enough dealing with my unstable powers (which seems to have stabilized) but now Im outside the 16 realms, or so it seems. In other words I am completely lost.

I get out of the alleyway only to see red, a lot of red to put it flatly but overall in terms of the people I see some weird short red people with white and black horns, some white skinned people with null and empty black eyes but broad smiles, then I see a bunch of random people that look weird (oh god are some of them furries?) but either way I need to find a way out.

I concentrate Elemental Energy in my palm to see if I can still use it which I find I can but first I need to look for a proper destination, so first I need to– "Well, hello there, you wayward Sinner! Do you like blood, violence, and depravity of a sexual nature? Of course you do, that's why you're in Hell! But what would you say if I told you there was a place to stay that had none of that? Welcome to the Hazbin Hotel, a misguided path to redemption! Founded five days ago by Lucifer's delusional daughter, Charlotte Morningstar! Come place your fate in her inexperienced hands, as she tries to work through her daddy issues by fixing you!" Said a strange radio voice on the massive TV sat right on top of one of the nearby buildings, wait this might work.

"Here we offer fun things, such as somewhat functional staff and 24-hour pest control. Custom rooms, and just look at this tacky parlor! Enjoy riveting conversation with our singular resident. Wow! All this, and more at the Hazbin Hotel! Your last desperate attempt at salvation starts here!" The strange Radio voice continues, okay then guess Im going to this 'Hazbin Hotel' then.

I look around to make sure no one is looking before using Creation to manifest a raider vehicle and driving off to what I can only assume to be the direction of the hotel, onwards I guess…

[3P POV]

Theo is driving through the streets of Pride being extremely careful not to hit anyone in his vehicle while also maintaining a clear path to his destination, Theo is then stopped by a hulking brute who decided it would be a great idea to try and stop a car at 200mph just to show off.

"Hey you, get the fuck out of that car and face me like a man, you cowardly bastard!" a slightly scottish-australian accent could be heard. "Uhm, what?" Theo responds confused "I said GET THE FUCK OU–" he is cut off "Yeah yeah, I got it" Theo steps out of the car and looked the brute straight in the face.

"Hey you, fucking moron, the name's Jimbo, remember it because it's about to be the last thing youll ever see" Jimbo issues to Theo "'Thing' ill ever see? As in you are a thing and not a person? You are speaking right now aren't you, I would only see 'thing' working if you were referring to an item, but hey if you think of yourself as an item I wont judge" Theo calmly responds.

"Ah, so your a smartass are ya? Well here I wont judge you if you take my fist to your FUCKING FACE you bloody bastard!" Jimbo says as he hits Theo, but Theo dosent move an inch, in fact he is completely unharmed by this assault.

Theo sighs "Rude" theo says before extending his hand and Chaos Energy starts to come together and in that instant Jimbo's body started to wither and wrinkle at an extremely fast rate leaving him not only incapacitated but also in a near-death like state (even though he is a Sinner which should be Immortal unless met by Angelic Power) Theo simply snapped and channelled the Essence of Destruction and used it to disintegrate Jimbo instantly and put him out of his misery as Theo didn't think he deserved to be healed.

"Anyone else want to act all tough?" Theo asks to the surrounding crowd, but all he gets is shrieks of fear and horror which they could not even conceive of facing let alone interacting with this adversary.

Chatter went around quite fast "Hey did you see that guy? He managed to kill a Sinner without an Angelic Weapon, let alone Angelic Magic!" One guy asked in the crowd "I didnt even think that was possible, so if hes not an Angel, and he dosent have Angelic Weapons what can he be to kill a Sinner" another guy responds "Who knows, but what I do know is that even the Overlords would be wary" The other guy responds.

Theo then gets back in the car and revs up the engine before going the maximum mph and reaching the hotel in a few minutes before getting out at the top of the hillside where the Hotel resides; Theo knocks twice before someone comes up to the door to answer him "Welcome to the Hazbin Hotel" a white and pink stained spider-like creature with four arms (which reminded Theo of a certain someone) answered in a dry and bored tone.

"Can I come inside?" Theo asks "Sure" the spider-like creature responds. "Hey Charlie we have our first real member, or atleast I think?" a strange one-eyed and short maid with pink hair and a dash of yellow in it says at an unnecessarily loud voice "Uhm, what the fuck am I then?" the spider creature asks but no one responds.

"Oh, oh my god, I think im hyperventilating a bit!" a female voice is heard from the upper level before running out of a room and coming to greet Theo "Hello welcome to the Hazbin Hotel, my name's Charlie and this is your new home!" Charlie says excitedly.

"Uhm I–" Theo is cut off by Charlie "Here lets introduce everyone else!" Charlie brings in a female with bright Silver hair and shaded grey skin "This is Vaggie, shes my girlfriend!" Charlie gives a bright smile "This is Angel Dust, oh, and Nifty, and Husk!" Charlie would point at the white spider-like creature, the one eyed maid, and a cat? (or atleast thats what Theo thinks)

"And finally we have Alastor!" A shadow manifests out of nowhere to reveal a strange deer man with a well-put together red suit "Alastor pleasure to be meeting you, quite a pleasure" Alastor sticks out his hand which Theo shakes nonchalantly.

"Theo, and the pleasure is all mine" Theo responds but there is no real compassion behind the voice "So what made you want to pursuit redemption?" Charlie asks "Uhm, I just want to find a way out of this place thats all" Theo says flatly "Ah I see, you wanna get to heaven that bad, for what reason? Or is it just some egocentric delusion" Vaggie asks nigh-bitterly "Vaggie!" Charlie tries to get Vaggie to change the tune in her voice "Oh no you misunderstand I dont care about getting to heaven, at all" Theo clarifies which leaves the rest of the room dumbfounded.

"So what do you want?" Charlie asks confused "I want to get out of here, and not just *here* as in Hell, I mean out of this Universe, I need to get back to my world" Theo says; the whole room starts bursting into laughter, even Alastor who commonly has a laid-thin personality couldn't help but chuckle.

Alastor teleports away via his shadow but the rest of the crew are almost in comedic tears "You dont believ–" Theo is cut off by an explosion that blows up the wall right next to him "Show yourself Alastor, come and face my– oh, there you are! FACE MY WRATH!" a strange slightly hissing noise is heard; Theo teleports outside using Smoke.

"Who are you?" Alastor asks the snake "Who am I? WHO AM I?! I am the great Sir Pentious, Inventor, Architect of Destruction, Villain Extraordinaire!" Sir Pentious responds "Ooh, hes a bad boy!" Nifty says while on Alastor's head "Ha, well if all that's true you'd have think Id have heard of you" Alastor clarifies "I attacked you literally last week…" Sir Pentious defends his claims; Alastor cranked his head to the side unnaturally "We've done battle, like, 20 times?" Sir Pentious says "Well… you must have been really bad at this" Alastor responds.

"Silence, now cower for when Ive slain you the almighty Vee's will finally acknowledge me as their equal!" Sir Pentious issues "Ooh, wait who are the Vee's?" Nifty asks "Oh nobody important" Alastor answers.

Sir Pentious is charging up an attack with his canon and then I act, Chaos Energy derived from Thunderfang swerves into my hand as Theo summons the Wind's of Chaos right onto the ship and also use the powers of Chaos to absorb the soul of every single demonic egg on the airship and use their combined powers to create a massive explosion that devastated the surroundings, and probably would have annihilated the Hotel had Theo not created a barrier to stop the attack from going backwards. 

After the brief battle Theo restores the souls of the eggs and everyone including Alastor has a look of pure horror on their faces as even they are lost. "What- What are you?" Vaggie manages to faintly ask "Oh me, im just Theo" Theo responds everyone else is dumbfounded and confused.
