Chapter 5 - No Deal

Max was helping out the hotel. Fixing some stuff and updating some of the decorations that Alastair did. He didn't have much planned to do besides help Charlie in Heaven. "Actually, I don't know if I can even go to heaven" Max said outloud by accident. "Of course you can, we are just missing something" Charlie said, appearing out of nowhere. "Right, right. Any word from your father? I heard you were going to ask if he can get you a meeting in heaven" Max asked. Charlie was a little shocked, mostly cause she only talked about it with Vaggie in their room. "Don't worry, I wasn't listening in. I may not look like it but I am smart. I figured, you would try to state your claim and try to spare your hotel from the next extermination. And since your father is still, an angel" Max said, trying to come up with a reasonable lie. "Ah, well ya. That's my plan anyway. How was earth? Still better than hell?" She asked. "Well, not as good as I remember. I was only their on a mission but not much good. Hell is so much better" Max said as he was moving stuff and was trying to make Husk's place plend in more. "What do you mean?" Charlie asked, Nifty going around the place dusty everything. "Ya, in Hell, everyone is brutally honest. Sinners can't hide their true selves here. You know somewhat what you expect" he said, taking a drink. "Speaking of which, you never talk about your former life. Must be a reason why you got those cute wolf ears" She said, patting Max's head which was much better than he expected as his ears twitched and tail tagged at the weird yet pleasant sensation. "Well... Im not around of it. But i preyed on misfortune. Used others with the false promise of a better life. Got ritch and very influential. One day my conscience got the better of me. But before I could do anything I was killed. Who knows, maybe helping you redeeming others might make me redeemed. But im not sure i want that. I have you, Vaggie, Loona, and others. Never thought I find love in hell. Much less so much" he said, taking a swig before Charlie kissed him on the cheek. "Then you are the one person I don't want redeemed" Charlie said with a smile. "Does that mean I can hsleep with you and Vaggie tonight?" Max said with a smirk. "Haha, nice try" she said as she left. He smiled as he finished up and walked back to his room. "So, lets see. [Belezabub]" Max said as a black hole made of purple smoke appeared. "He really gave me this. Unbelievable. He also said Angelic abilities right? I only remember Rapheal and Uriel. I don't need Rapheal now or Uriel. What else is there?" Max said, trying to think. He did research on the sin abilities before but not much on the angelic ones. "Um, I can't think of one that isn't too much to use right now" Max said as Belezabub disappeared. He went through the texts he received and responded to them all. Some were very cute, some a bit threatening. "Oh right. I have to visit Octavia. Sure she is tired of the yelling between her parents" he said. As he was about to leave, Alastair came from a shadow in the room. "Strugglling to keep your girls in line little secret Overlord?" He said in his radio voice. "Im guessing you seen me transport across hell?" He asked. "Why of course. I do wonder who you sold your soul to, to gain that power. You were only here for a couple years right? You have power but keep it hidden. Who did you make your deal with?" Alastair asked, with his creepy smile flickering. "Im not telling you. No reason to" he said. "Why don't we make a deal? Tell me who you are under and I won't tell Charlie the soul of her mam belongs to someone else" Alastair said, stretching out his hand. Max took his hand but nothing happened which confused Alastair. "[Amaterasu]" Max said with a Whisper. Flames bursting from the air and surrounding them without damaging the area. "You will keep quiet because i say you will. With this power you have no shadows to run back to" Max said as the flames disappeared and Alastair disappeared. "Strange, I wasn't supposed to have that power. He said only demonic and angelic skills. Then again, he is trying to get fired. Maybe he added all the skills. Who knows, most of the Ultimate skills were overkill anyway" Max said. He got ready to visit Octavia. "Maybe I'll help her see the stars"
