                       ~5 Years Later~


               Time moved differently for most as one would learn they never aged within Hell, it didn't seem like a long time but without his friend, Alastor felt the time go by since he was released from the Deal he had made with Lou.  That day he felt things he had never felt before and after a time he just ignored them, he went about his days in Hell doing what he wanted, whenever he wanted.  Yet it wasn't as fun without Lou, the Radio Demon hated that those pesky emotions hadn't gone away now that he had gotten what he asked for, Lou was ever on his mind.  When it seemed like forever that he hadn't seen or heard from the other, he went about searching for Lou throughout Hell but aside from seeing the Demon hanging with the Radio Demon no one else heard of Lou or knew anything about him outside of that knowledge.  It occurred to Alastor that he didn't know much about the Demon only that he was a Broker of sorts who made Deals with other Demons, he was born in Hell so never having been mortal sometimes it seemed the other was heartless but never had he been so to Alastor.  He was Powerful with the ability to heal and his wings looked almost angelic, he enjoyed the Radio Demon's singing and performances, spending time together seemed to be the only thing he cared to do and because of the strange feelings, he had been having.  Alastor chased his friend away.  He had just wanted his freedom, never liked being tied down or feel like his wings were being clipped but was it really so bad?  He asked himself that often.  When it seemed like he would never find Lou, Alastor gave up and found that there was this void within him, empty and nothing he did would fill that which made him even more irritable.  He'd go around causing chaos and havoc to other Demons, ensuring his title remained as such and one day he came across a scene within an alleyway, he stayed back as he listened to the conversation.  It was dark and somewhat hard to make out but there were two figures speaking,

"Look I need money, can you help a guy out or not?"  The smaller Demon was hunched over while rubbing his hands nervously looking at the taller Demon who wore a black trench coat and looking closer, Alastor could see the blonde hair.

"Oh I can help you but in return, you'll need to do something for me?"

"What?  Like what, you came to me asking if I needed anything!  What do you want from-" the taller Demon grabbed the other by the throat, lifting him in the air as he answered.

"Why your soul, of course, you will belong to me.  Do as I say, whenever I say and as such you will be rewarded.  Deal?"  He dropped the Demon to the ground, while they gasped and rubbed their throat looking at the other afraid and confused.  It seemed almost too easy and he had no idea what the other would want of him, as the taller Demon offered his hand to seal the Deal while the other accepted it.  He was pulled forward so that the taller one whispered within his ear, telling him where he could find his money and where he would be serving the Broker Demon.  As the smaller Demon nodded and walked off, Lou turned to see Alastor peeking from around the side of the building.  The Radio Demon was stunned for but a moment, his grin almost faltered as his ears stayed perked while he walked out towards the Demon he hadn't seen in 5 years.

"Lou?  That really you!"  Walking up towards the other to blink a few times to see if he was dreaming again or if this was indeed his old friend, Lou however just grinned as he fixed his coat.

"Well, Hello there, Alastor.  How have you been?"  He was almost speechless as Lou seemed calm by their interaction, was that all he had to say.

"Why I've been swell but you, however..." without warning, Alastor summoned his Microphone to whack the other over the head.  Lou gave a cry as he held his head in pain,
