Chapter Text
The screens in hell were taken over, the Sins appeared on thrones, all but Michael appeared in the Thrones of the Virtues. Xemel looked around in Michael's seat
“It’s only for the first Day, it’s the naming Ceremony,” Cassiel said
“Ciel, you look less tense,” Bee said
“He must have just had a Session with Lina,” Xemel said
“Oh, who’s that?” Bee asked
Xemel hmms thinking
“Dating, we are dating. She was my Masseuse at first, but it developed over time,” Cassiel said
“Heavenborn,” Ozzie asked
“Winner,” Uriel said, smirking
“Oooh, Ciel, I didn’t know you had it in you,” Bee said, smiling
“Attention all of Hell,” Roos' voice rang out
“The Overlords have been chosen at random, not by me this time. I noticed each city had something in common, though the subjects were not; you all had a poll on your Overlords."
“For Mictlan, the number one richest Overlord, Antonio El Dorado, “ a tall Jaguar sinner in a suit appeared with gold eyes and claws, he smirked
“For Xinjiang, the Overlord with the most powerful souls, Xi Wu, the Hougong zhu.”
a human-looking demon with horns in Chinese robes, until you really looked, he smirked, fox ears and a tail grows, spikes grow up his spine (Chenghuang)
“For Zar, the most Ruthless Overlord Aharon the Ruthless”
“For Vizestadt, the Overlord most likely to catch an STD, Sebastian the Knight.”
The Demon appeared laughing, “I don’t, but I’ve been here for over three thousand years, what do you expect?” he said
“For Citta del City, the Overlord voted most likely to fuck with the Wrong Demon and Most likely to Attack Women Darius,“ a Badger, yet boar-like Sinner appeared
“Fuck," Ophelia said
“The collector,”
“That's my ex-husbands,” She said, "I'd recognize that sneer anywhere."
“Ugh, for Damos, the most Powerful Overlord in the poll Farmos, the Voodoo man,”
A human-like, gray-skinned Sinner appeared
All the overlord groans and curses
“And voted the most annoying Overlord by the Overlords in the Six Cities, he is able to go to"
“And finally”
“Oh no, “ Angel said. He turned, reaching for Alastor
“For Pentagram City,”
“This is not Good, “ Carmilla said
“The Overlord voted O I L F,”
“Shit, shit, shit,” Vox said
“Alastor the Radio Demon,” Roo finished. Alastor appears in his suit. “Also, it’s not a camera, it’s magic imaging, you can’t use your powers to interfere with the broadcast, so don’t bother trying.”
Alastor narrowed his eyes, clicking his tongue
“What? “ Lucifer growled
“He has protection,“ she told him
“Let's start with an obstacle course.”
Alastor looked around his feet, “No magic, no outside help, no powers. “
The seven Overlords looked there were seven tight ropes
“You expect someone as big as me to go across that,” Antonio said
“I could-“ Sebastian started,
“and no Flying.”
“Never mind,“ he said
“What if we do not go? “ Xi Wu asked normally. Overlords drew lots on the first day
“Nothing but if you do, you get a random advantage during the first day,” Roo said
Alastor was assessing the ropes, Darius was assessing to but not the Course
“Why do we have a prey Sinner here?” he said, approaching Alastor. “I’m sure he’s a big deal in his city, “ he reached out, Sebastian slapped his hand with his tail
“I’d watch it, I’ve fought him many times, that rose has thorns, “ he said
“You think you can order me?” Darius growled
Alastor combs his hair back, tying it up
“Just some advice from your elder, “The others were distracted by them too, Alastor removed his coat. Ombre reached out, taking it. The Argument behind him was getting heated. He rolled up his Sleeves and sat down. He took off his shoes he rolled up his pant legs, removed the Garter and socks he stood up, removed his harness, Ombre took them all
“Is that allowed? “ Levi asked
“Roo implied they couldn’t have help on the course, not that they could not have someone take some of his clothes away, “ Xemel said, “it would be unfair given the stiff clothes some of them are wearing.”
“He’s right, they can change clothes before they start,“ Roo said.
Alastor walked to the edge
“What is he doing? “ Aharon asked the other Overlords look. Alastor stepped back and jumped, landing in the middle
“You said no power, “ Darius snapped
“He’s a deer. Deers leap, you bête,” Farmos said as he climbed on a rope. “I ain’t getting shown up by the youngest Overlord here,”
Sebastian jumps on a free one using his arms to go across from under
“Smart move from the knight using his strongest limbs to get across, Farmos changed his shoes to tightrope shoes,“ she clicked her tongue
“She already hates me if I don’t try, she’ll start making up penaties just for me,” he said
Antonio followed Sebastian's lead
Alastor got to the end. Next Trapeze. He grabbed one on a hook and jumped. He flipped off to the next one, hooking on with his legs. He smirked and jumped onto the next one standing
The other Overlords stand there
He makes a come-on motion, smirking
“Oh, he wants a challenge,” Farmos said, chuckling
“Cheeky Brat,” Sebastian said. They jumped. Alastor continued
“This is new, the Radio demon is silent, it seems he is following the letter of the rules, no powers, not even his Filter,“ Roo said.
Pentagram City was shocked
“Wait, that's not his real voice,” Velvette said
Alastor landed on the next platform gracefully
‘Stop,’ a voice in his head said, his own? he paced, looking at an empty walkway, too easy. Sebastian landed, then Farmos the Former started to pass him. Alastor held his arm out in front of him.
The older Overlord stops, “You’re right, too easy, there must be a trap, “ he said. Alastor removes a glove and throws it. Lasers appear, burning through it, “Whoa, that is not Fair to the rest of us.”
“Only one Overlord has to get through if they push the buttons; the rest can get through, or they can just push one,” Roo said
Alastor hmphs and steps forward, the other Overlord's Land, Sebastian, walked over
“It’s not saying much, but out of everyone here, I trust you the most, plus I think you're the only one who can fit through that opening,“ he said. Alastor elbows him hard in the gut, then makes a three-step motion with his hands
“Ofph fine, I’ll back up,” he said. Alastor jumped up on his shoulder, pushed off him, jumping through the only gap in the first row of lasers high above the ground. He flipped and bent through the lasers at one point. He was bent in half backwards.
“Whoa,” Antonio said
“Try fighting him in hand-to-hand never again,” Sebastian said, rubbing his neck. Alastor does the splits, sliding his body down and under the last set of lasers. He walks over, he hovers over the first button, he looks at the older Overlord
“Ugh, fine, I promise neither me nor mine will go after Littles under your protection again, “ he said. Alastor pushed the first button, then the second, watching the lasers, his ears flicked, he stopped at the fourth, and turned
“Hey," Darius snapped
“Please, if you can’t get through that many, you have no skill at all,” Xi Wu said, jumping through
“Fair enough, “ Sebastian said, shrugging, Jumping Around and through
“You need to get with that,” Satan told Lucifer
“That was hot,” Ozzie said
Alastor jumped across the Poles in the distance
“Why are there only four Rows?” Antonio asked; he had burns and was pissed at the Deer
“Well, it’s a good thing Alastor stopped pushing buttons, or there would only be one,” Roo said
“Oh, that's why he heard something receding and all the poles are different sizes, good thing for you, eh, Ocelotl, your feet would have got stabbed on that last one he chose it, but he’s got Hoofs,” Sebastian said
The jaguar slapped his arm, anger for the Deer Overlord redirected
“Yeah, I know it’s Antonio now. What can I say? I like your original name,” the last row was Spikes Sebastian looked down, writing the other Overlord started
“Not the Blue one,” he muttered 'so that's why no blue on the spikes,'
“Hey, idiots, watch your step,” he ran across the ones just before the Spike
Darius stepped on a blue-lined one. He jumped to the row over as Spike came up; the Overlords kept hitting them. Fire, spikes, swing blades, hitting them or them dodging the except Farmos and Sebastian, they took the second smallest path, there were barely any Blue ones
They caught up enough to see Alastor walk on the Spike path. Yes walking.
“Oh fuck, it was an invisible path,” Sebastian said, groaning. Alastor stepped on the other side unharmed.
They heard rushing water. Alastor walked over, looking down. He paced, waiting. Farmos and Sebastian reached it
“Hey, it’s been bugging me, have we met? Do I know you?" Farmos said Alastor Smiles' wider face darkened for a moment
“A waterfall, what's the Challenge here?” Sebastian said, Alastor waved his fingers. He stepped backward .“There are ropes, a box.” Alastor jumped
“He jumped,” Farmos said
“HE JUMPED,” Sebastian yelled, rushing over. Lilith would kill him if anything happened to her doll
“Oh, I get it,” Farmos said, jumping as most of the other Overlords arrived
“Fuck,“ Sebastian said, Jumping
“This is Silk,” Xi Wu said. He clicked his tongue, and jumped the other three followed. There was a splash.
“Hey, my injuries are gone,” Antonio said. He saw the other Overlords staring, most of hell gulped
Alastor was on the shore, wet clothes clinging to his body, water dripping off of him, and he walked forward
“Winner Alastor, the youngest of the contestants, has won the advantage,” Roo said. They were teleported to a room, and their clothes changed to skin-tight jumpsuits
The other Overlords twitched; it showed all Alastor curves and dips, his tail out. Lucifer felt his body jerk back. Alastor growled, snapping his fingers; his jacket appeared, and it disappeared. He kept doing it
“For fuck sakes, let him wear one. We need to focus, “ Sebastian snapped in black
“That is an unfair distraction, “ Darius said. in blue
A long vest that matched the jumpsuit appeared. Alastor nodded
“Light Voodoo,” Farmos said. He flashed forward, he went to grab Alastor's chin, who slapped his hands, glaring, “It is you, kiddo, so you got thrown down here too,“ in purple
“Don’t you touch me, Creten,” Alastor said. Filter up
“Oh, come on, is that any way to talk to your Grandpa?” Farmos said
"WHAT," a yell of Shock rang through the cities, the Sin and the Overlord
“Hm, I don’t see it,” Sebastian said
Farmos touched Alastor's shoulder. “he looks like his Mother, and I think my ex-wife, “ he said. Alastor Growled
“If I knew it was allowed, I would have ripped you apart,” he said
“No thanks, kiddo, getting killed by you once was enough,” he said, stepping away, waving his hand
“This must be Awkward, “ Xi Wu said in jade green
“Family reunions always are,” Aharon said in orange
Antonio was in Yellow
Darius walked over and tilted Alastor Chin up. “I’ve never seen a Deer Virgin before, “ he said
“Don’t touch Darius or you’ll have two Fallen hunting your ass down,” Roo said
“Fallen, please, I’d be more afraid of my ex-wife,” he said
“Her too,“ Roo said
“Oh, you’re that Darius,” Alastor said, Sneering, pushing his hand away, “a pedo.”
“Ophelia was of age in the Cult,” Darius said, “and there was only a seven-year age Gap, but didn’t sleep with her until she was fifteen, a mature woman, what's she to you?”
“From what I remember, she became the Voodoo queen after I wound up in a body I couldn’t use Voodoo in, a terrifying woman she taught him the mindset that led to him killing me, “ Farmos said
Darius laughed, “My timid Ophelia?” he questioned
“Timid!” Farmos said, Shocked, “We talking about the same Woman here? “
“She grew up unlike this man-child, who's been whining and sulking this entire time,” Alastor said, chuckling
“She would rip you apart.”
“She wouldn’t dare,” he said
“Wouldn’t she? After all, she killed you while Pregnant,” Alastor said
“It’s time to see the first test we are going to spin the Wheel to see what Sin Day it will be,” Roo said. The Wheel spun, "and today is-"
