Some fighting and furniture breaking later, Spawn was able to overpower me and throw me into the basement again, which they already had a new door for, some kind of magical gate.
"So we meet again, I see you didn't want to search for my body, can I ask why?"
The decapitated head of RoboCop spoke up.
Y/N: I made a mistake, one wrong turn and it was all over.
"You stepped into that casino, you should've just kept walking."
Y/N: I know that now.
"At least you were able to kill some more hotel staff."
Y/N: It doesn't matter, we can kill as many as we want, they will still gain power. And now I know why.
"Why?"
He asked me surprised and confused at the same time.
Y/N: Alastor has a radio tower which is attracting new possible inhabitants and hotel staff.
"A radio tower? Down here in hell?"
Y/N: Yes...I know how that sounds but it's true.
"Maybe the radio tower is also the thing that is jamming our scanners."
Y/N: You guys have scanners?
"Of course, this helps us find hotel staff and kill them if they're roaming around outside."
Y/N: For how long have you been doing this?
"Three months now."
Y/N: And you never stumbled upon his radio tower?
"There are some towers out there but none of them are actually working."
Y/N: Looks like one of them is.
"I already sent out a bunch of my machines to attack every tower they can find."
Y/N: That was quick.
"We have no time to waste, you're about to be executed."
Y/N: They're still voting, so nothing is set in stone yet.
I protested, raising my finger.
"Do you actually think they will let you live after what you've done to them?
Y/N: If we destroy Alastor's tower and cause them to shift focus, maybe they'll let me live so I can fight for them.
"Sadly, with Spawn on their side, we have no chance to overpower them."
Y/N: I'm stronger than him.
"He absolutely destroyed you and threw you back in here."
Y/N: Who said that I didn't just let him win, so I could meet up with you again?
"Right, that's a very likely scenario, Slayer."
He claimed sarcastically.
Y/N: Let's think about how to escape this place.
"No chance, this magic at the doorframe is very effective against you humans. Demons have no problems with it but humans will burn to death immediately."
Y/N: The question is...how much human is still left in me?
"You are still a human, no matter how you twist it."
Y/N: What happens if I die in hell? Where will I awake then? Will I awake at all?
"I never experienced death in hell, but I'm assuming that everything will turn black, forever. There's no waking up from death down here."
Y/N: Maybe I will get reborn and get another chance to live a normal live.
"I wouldn't bet on that. Wait until they will escort you outside to execute you, then you will strike."
Y/N: That'd be suicide, there are still too many of them.
"And walking through a gate that is guaranteed to kill you isn't suicide?"
Y/N: I want to take matters into my own hands, not getting lynched by an angry mob of demons.
"That would steal their joy, but it would also mark you as weak. They will not see you as the warrior they're seeing you as now."
Y/N: Should I really care about the opinions of some mindless demons?
"Who are you talking to?"
A female voice asked me from the other side of the burning red gate.
I looked over to the gate and saw Charlie, so I walked up to her.
Y/N: Did you come to escort me outside?
Charlie: No, they still haven't decided yet, I just came to talk. Comfort you in this...scary time.
Y/N: Knowing the future isn't scary. I know exactly what you guys will do to me.
Charlie: You can't know that.
She denied my claims shyly.
Y/N: You'll hang me from the hotel's roof.
Charlie: That...sounds terrible.
She said while softly covering her mouth.
Y/N: You're demons, I expected nothing less.
Charlie: Well, to be fair, you weren't very peaceful towards us either.
Y/N: Because I'm fighting for my life.
Charlie: We're fighting for our survival as well.
Y/N: You're not in the same kind of danger that I'm in.
Charlie: You're right but we're still constantly getting attacked by some evil robots.
Y/N: You made quite a lot of enemies.
Charlie: It's just sad that you chose to become one as well.
Y/N: I didn't choose anything, you guys are deciding whether you should kill me or not, what am I supposed to do? Just sit and wait until you'll kill me?
Charlie: Your last two kills were unnecessary, they did nothing to you.
Y/N: They voted to kill me, so I returned the favor.
Charlie: Wait...Rosie and Niffty wanted to kill you?
Y/N: Yeah...but that problem has been taken care of.
Charlie: Which caused a bunch of others to change their mind.
Y/N: Let me tell you something, Charlie. Deep inside all of you know that I'm the only one that can save you from this but Spawn and Alastor, well, they're very narcissistic so they'll never accept help from an outsider, this is why they're so keen on killing me.
Charlie: Spawn and Alastor are not good people, I agree with you on that but how can we trust you after everything you did?
Y/N: I just want to talk with the guys that voted for my death.
Charlie: You want me to tell you who voted against you?
Y/N: Yes.
Charlie: I can't do that- I-ah-
She gasped in surprise as my hand gently touched her cheek to calm her down.
Y/N: It's okay Charlie, there's no reason to be afraid of me. In fact, I like you...a lot.
I could feel her face getting warm as she blushed shyly.
Charlie: H-how can you reach through this gate? Humans are not supposed to-
Y/N: I'm too far gone to still be considered a human.
She tried to step away but I turned my gentle touch into a tight grip around her face and pulled her into the basement.
Y/N: I will let you live, if you tell me who voted for me to die.
Charlie: You're gonna kill them.
Y/N: I'll have a talk with them, nothing more.
Alastor: Charlie! Where the hell are you?!
I put my finger across my lips as a sign for her to be quiet.
Y/N: I will keep my promise, if you keep quiet.
She hesitated but nodded eventually.
Charlie: It's Vaggie and Angel Dust.
Y/N: Where are they now?
Charlie: In Angel's room, on the top floor.
Y/N: Thank you.
Charlie: You won't be able to leave the basement though, it'll kill you.
Y/N: It's too early to worry about me, Charlie. Save your worries for later, you're gonna need it.
I advised as I picked RoboCop's head up and went through the gate, leaving her behind with her mouth open in shock.
Charlie: Did you just...
I didn't hear her out as I took the stairs up, to make my way to Angel and Vaggie.
