One Helluva Team (Hazbin Hotel + Helluva Boss OC Story)

Chapter 14: DAD BEAT DAD

Niffty: (holding a knife) The ultimate bad boy. (laughs like a gremlin with excitement, holding a knife while Angel takes her knife away without her knowing) I bet he's scary.

Luke: Take about 10% off there, bud.

*LUCIFER*

At the center of the Pride Ring was Lucifer's house. While most depictions of the Devil portrayed him to be a heartless monster, this version of him was more of a fun-loving dad. Well, he would be, if he wasn't struggling with depression.

He was currently making snarling noise as he was working on something. All around him were piles and piles of rubber ducks, and stacks of them filled the boxes and tubs.

Lucifer: That's it... Almost there... Now presenting... the magic-tastical back flipping rubber duck! Haha! That spits fire! (rubber duck shoots flamethrower from its mouth) Hoo hoo hoo! Hold the applause please, okay. Oh, thank you, thank you. Oh god, who am I kidding? This sucks!

He throws the rubber duck at his family portrait and looks sad. Suddenly his ringtone plays. he picks up his phone, and was shocked who was calling him?

Lucifer: Daughter? Daughter! Daughter calling?! OH! Uhm uh, uh hello, Charlie. He-ey, hey, hey Char-Char. No, no! That's not good. Oh, this is the first time she's called you in years. This has to be perfect. (takes a deep breath before he picks up phone) Hey~ bitch!

Charlie: Hi, Dad.

Lucifer: Hey! How are you? Oh ho. Where-where are you these days?

Charlie: You know where I am Dad. I've told you before.

Lucifer: You have? Oh, yeah uh, well, you know, I um uh-

Charlie: I told you when you called me five months ago, or did you not listen?

Lucifer: No, no, no, no. Just, you know, just forgot. You know, I've just been really busy, you know, with, um, important things. (kicks rubber duck)

Charlie: Well, I'm actually running a hotel to rehabilitate sinners. Maybe you saw our commercial?

Lucifer: Oh, sadly, I missed it. heh heh. You know, I haven't been watching much TV lately. Scrambles the brain. (makes silly noises) But hey! A hotel, fun.

Charlie: (Sighs) Listen Dad, I've got kind of a big ask.

Lucifer: (coughs and sets down his tea) Yeah, of course. Anything in my power is yours for the asking. You just name it~

Charlie: I need to speak to Heaven. Well, whoever's in charge up there, above Adam, above anybody. I need to go to the top.

Lucifer: Oh, no. No~ No, no, no, no, Charlie, no, no, no. That's, uh hah, no.

Charlie: (angrily) Look Dad, (normal) I don't ask you for much, I never have, but this, this is really important to me. It's the second most important thing I've ever done. And I...need you. I need your help.

Lucifer: I don't know, Charlie.

Charlie: Please! Just come see what I'm trying to do. You'll see why it's a really good idea. And Heaven is bound to agree if I get the chance to talk to them. Please, Dad. At the very least, say hi to your grandson.

Lucifer: Wait, you're...inviting me over?! Absolutely! Oh, I'll be there in an hour. (hangs up) My daughter wants to see me~ (points at the rubber duck below him) Take that, depression!

At the hotel, Charlie and Vaggie prepare for Lucifer's arrival.

Charlie: Welp, we have an hour until he gets here.
