Satan/History

## Biography

### Beginnings

Satan belongs to a primordial race known as the Light Beyond the Stars, a race of immensely powerful deities who were composed of pure light and possessed immensely powerful divine abilities, as well as being the first creations of God. Like all Light Beyond the Stars, Satan came into existence before the creation of the Universe as an illuminous, bodiless organism, aimlessly floating adrift in a void with its fellow light deities. Shortly after their creation, the Light Beyond the Stars were granted intelligence by their Creator, God, giving all of them an immense understanding of their abilities and surroundings.

After the Light Beyond the Stars adjusted to their immense powers over an unspecified amount of time, God decreed to His creations that He would create a vast universe that was to be populated by life, and the Light Beyond the Stars had been appointed to aide Him in the construction of His Universe, which left Satan, who was known to be against the idea of life, enraged. When God and the Light Beyond the Stars refused to listen to Satan's misanthropic rambles, Satan left the council of deities filled with madness and hatred. It swore revenge against God while promising that it would return and make the Light Beyond the Stars regret their decision.

Shortly after leaving the council, Satan abandoned its physical body after concluding that it would be far more powerful and invincible without one, and took on a much darker, intangible astral form in its place. It then used its powers of creation to construct a mysterious army of various malevolent entities of its design that would share the same dark desires as it, known as the Army of Darkness. With the Universe finally crafted by the Light Beyond the Stars, Satan conspired to take revenge on God by devouring the souls of all angels and living creatures (as God loved them the most), and then eradicate and destroy all that the Light Beyond the Stars had created.

A few decades following the creation of the Universe, Satan came into contact with Lucifer Morningstar, one of the princes of Heaven, and one of the seven sons of God, having approached the archangel while he was traversing the Universe and studying mortal life. Satan revealed that it had been watching Lucifer from afar, claiming to have seen the immense power and potential within him that his Father didn't, and expressed admiration towards the angel's voracious lust for power. It revealed its origins as a Being of Light to Lucifer, and claimed that he was the fiercest of all the angels in Heaven, and proposed a deal to the archangel, saying it would assist him in overthrowing his Father and conquering Heaven, in return for Lucifer's servitude. Lucifer was enticed with the Devil's proposal, and, after the deal was sealed, Satan secretly acted as a master to Lucifer, teaching him the powers of darkness, necromancy, mind control, and numerous other malevolent abilities that were forbidden by Heaven. Satan later aided Lucifer in corrupting thousands of angels against their Creator, allowing Lucifer to assemble an army of fallen angels who would assist him in his goals. Although Lucifer managed to sway many angels into servitude by using his charm and promising them infinite power, many angels would reject his scheme out of loyalty to their Creator. Whenever this occurred, Satan would forcibly corrupt the soul and form of the angel, partly as a means to prevent them from informing others about Lucifer's plan, and also as a twisted way of turning them against their Creator.

After murdering all but one of his brothers after they refused to aide him in his war against their Father, Lucifer finally put his and Satan's plan into motion, and opened a gateway for Satan and the Army of Darkness to access Heaven. After invading Heaven with its forces, Satan took its revenge upon God and rained down destruction upon the sacred realm and the Universe with its army and Lucifer, destroying much in their wake, slaughtering countless humans and creatures, including many angels, some of which fled Heaven in fear, never to return. Before Satan and Lucifer could be victorious, the head archangel, Forti, rose to stop them, and a brief war ensued between Forti, the archangels, and Satan. The war quickly turned into a massacre, as Satan wiped out almost all of the archangels, quickly proving itself to still be vastly more powerful than even Heaven's most elite soldiers. Satan was successful in overpowering the archangels and, with the exception of Forti and several others, murdered them all.

Setting its sights on Forti, Satan attempted to corrupt the archangel's mind and turn him into its slave, desiring his immense power for its own gain. To the Devil's surprise, Forti had become consumed by rage and vengeance after witnessing Satan massacre his fellow archangels and siblings, and his righteous anger enabled him to resist Satan's temptations with little to no effort. Satan was then finally defeated when Forti sacrificed himself to save the Universe, using the power of his divine sword, Excalibur, to cut a hole in space that began dragging everything within its vicinity, including Satan, its followers, and even Forti, into the prison dimension of Purgatory. Forti willingly allowed himself to be imprisoned in order to close the hole back up from within Purgatory, resulting in him being captured by Satan and its forces shortly afterward. Wanting Forti to suffer for his defiance, Satan trapped Forti in extraordinarily hot chains that seared his flesh and left him in constant pain, as well as dampening the effects of his magic so that he could not simply break free. Afterward, it let Forti in the vacant dimension of Limbo, still in his torturous chains.

Shortly after Satan's imprisonment, God constructed the seven seals of Purgatory in order to ensure the Devil would never escape its prison, and for the next billions of years, the Devil and its army would remain imprisoned in Purgatory, overseered by two groups of cherubs, located in Heaven and Purgatory itself respectively, who were tasked to ensure the fallen Being of Light never escaped its prison. Despite seemingly being defeated, Satan would remain intent on escaping Purgatory and exacting revenge on its Creator, draining the energy of all life in Purgatory in order to increase its power, and constantly sending its army to attack the seven seals and walls that kept them trapped inside of Purgatory, and occasionally attacking the seals itself. In the meantime, Satan would patiently reside inside of a massive black hole in Purgatory, waiting for the right time to escape.

### Events of *Helluva Boss*

Although Satan never physically appears in *Helluva Boss*, it is alluded to several times.

In the pilot for *Helluva Boss*, a homeless imp can be seen holding a cardboard sign that says "Monee helps, Satan bless".

In "Murder Family", Moxxie and the I.M.P crew are sent to target the adulterous mother of a seemingly innocent family, which makes Moxxie worried that he'll destroy a good family by pulling off the mark. However, it turns out that the entire family are psychotic cannibals who also worship Satan. Later, the mother of the family, Martha, attempts to kill Blitzø and Millie by immolating them, all while praising Satan by proclaiming that she is sending the imps back to Hell to continue the Devil's work.

In "Truth Seekers", Blitzø and Moxxie are captured by the agents at D.H.O.R.K.S. and are accused of working for Satan as they are being interrogated.

### Events of *Hazbin Hotel: Journey to the Light*

##### Season 1

Satan has a blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo in the pilot "That's Entertainment". During Charlie's musical number "Inside of Every Demon is a Rainbow", its giant five eyes appear behind the princess for a split-second.

In the series premiere "Gift from God", a narrator describes a legion of brothers who were the sons of the ruler of Heaven. The brothers brought great joy and prosperity to humanity. All but one, Lucifer Morningstar, who was a spoiled, arrogant archangel who held great resentment towards his Father for choosing to love humanity more than him. The narrator goes on to describe Satan and Lucifer's deal, the fall of Lucifer, and how Satan invaded Heaven, killing millions until Forti imprisoned it. The narrator goes on to say that Lucifer still conspires to take over the Universe, and only the one who bares the "Mark of the Light" will be able to stop him and his master.

##### Season 2

In the Season 2 premiere, "Aftermath", Lucifer is informed of Valentino, Vox, and Velvet's failure in their mission to destroy the Hazbin Hotel and Heaven's Light, which his daughter, Charlie Magne, is using in her mission to redeem sinners. With no other choice in such a major situation, Lucifer is forced to ask for help from Satan themselves. He travels far below his castle and into a hidden cave containing a massive statue of the Devil's visage. He talks to the statue, knowing that Satan is listening, and informs it of the unfolding situation. Lucifer requests Satan's assistance in destroying Heaven's Light and corrupting Charlie, and, knowing that Satan would want something in return, he offers the immortal souls of every sinner in Hell as payment to the Devil, declaring that they will be free to prey upon once Heaven is under Lucifer's command. Enticed by this proposal, the statue's eyes light up, and Satan's voice is heard telling the King of Hell that they have much to discuss. As this happens, Lucifer is transported into the statue and presumably into Purgatory to meet up with his dark master.

In "All The King's Horses", Beelzebub discovers that Charlie is in the process of freeing Forti, the archangel that stood against Satan during the War in Heaven, from Limbo. With this knowledge in mind, Beelzebub flew back to his castle in Gluttony, going to a secret room and bowing to a statue in Satan's visage. The King of Gluttony informed the Devil of the Princess of Hell's intentions, but swore that he would prevent her and the hotel crew from succeeding at all costs, to which the statue's eyes lit up.

In "Hell Hath No Fury", a cherub supervisor named Jacob is giving a new cherub, named Iris, a rundown of her new job as a cherub. He takes her to a room in the C.H.E.R.U.B Headquarters containing portals to other dimensions, one of these portals being the sealed portal to Purgatory. As Jacob leaves to let Iris become accustomed to her new position, a demonic voice is heard calling to Iris from the portal to Purgatory. Iris becomes deeply fearful as it becomes clear that the voice is Satan. The Devil taunts Iris, mockingly asking her if she thinks the seven seals can truly keep it imprisoned. Jacob flies back into the room, startling Iris. Iris attempts to explain what just happened, but Jacob interrupts her and jots her behavior down as "first day jitters". Jacob then says that they should leave since the room was giving him "bad vibes", before flying off. Before Iris leaves, Satan warned her from the portal that it would return to Heaven as she anxiously flew out of the room

In "Unchanged," Charlie visits Alastor in his office in the Hazbin Hotel, concerned about his absence around the hotel, and how he has not come out of his office in days. Charlie says that she knows that he was shaken from being exposed to Heaven's Light, which caused him to remember his beloved mother. She pieces together that Alastor is upset over this, as he is unable to see his mother again, since she is in Heaven, while he is in Hell. When she brings this up, the Radio Demon becomes visibly flustered, but remains composed, and calmly asks her to leave him be. The princess reassures Alastor that she is available whenever he needs her, and leaves the room. Shortly after Charlie leaves, Satan's demonic voice is heard telepathically speaking to Alastor as a giant astral projection of its head appears outside the window of the Radio Demon's office. Satan tempts Alastor by saying that Charlie is manipulating him into becoming her slave, and says that it will give Alastor ultimate power, and allow him to ascend to Heaven and see his beloved mother again, all under the condition that he kills the princess. The Radio Demon remains unshaken by this, and silently smiles hatefully at the Devil.

In "The Lost Angel," Calcifer informs Charlie about Manco, a young angel who recently went missing from Heaven, when she visits his study. She is intrigued by this, and wishes to find the young angel, so she resorts to drastic measures and invites a witch over to the Hazbin Hotel to host a séance. Upon the witch's arrival, Charlie is told by that Manco is trapped inside of Purgatory by a malevolent entity who she seems to be very fearful of. Charlie asks the witch how she can get to Purgatory, so the witch concocts a strange, magical brew made out of random potions and ingredients and tells the princess to drink it. Although Vaggie protests to drinking the potion, Charlie does as she is told, hesitantly. Afterward, Charlie suddenly is suspended in the air with her eyes glowing a bright white color. Vaggie turns hostile towards the witch, demanding to know what she did to Charlie, but the witch insists that the princess is unharmed, but her subconscious is somewhere else. Indeed, the princess' subconscious is transported to a desolate, dark world. After searching the seemingly never-ending dimension for hours, Charlie finds herself free-falling in a black void before landing on a giant, floating landscape in a prison dimension within Purgatory, where she finally finds Manco, who is locked in an enchanted cage.

Charlie tries to greet the boy, but he is clearly traumatized and paranoid, recoiling in fear when she greets him, begging her not to hurt him. After she calms the angel down and assures him that she is there to help him, Manco warns her that she should not have come. He then points behind the princess, and she turns around to see the decaying corpses of thousands of alternate versions of Manco, all piled into several mountains of mutilated bodies. The angel tells her that Satan has kept him as its prisoner for months, and she pieces together that it has been torturing the boy by forcing him to watch as alternate versions of himself were tortured and killed in increasingly gruesome ways. Absolutely horrified by this, the princess promised that she would save him, comforting the child by placing her hand on his, but Manco suddenly becomes incoherently terrified as Satan manifests and reveals itself, causing Manco to frantically tell her to run. Charlie tries to break the angel out, but Satan blocks her off from him by surrounding Manco's cage in large stalagmites. The princess reluctantly breaks into a run, with Satan pursuing her close behind, but she stops to confront the Devil when she is seemingly cornered. Despite her efforts, the dark god is unaffected by her attacks, and successfully takes possession of her subconscious. As Charlie attempted to fight back, Satan inquired why she resisted it, as it was already in full control of her.

Charlie comes back to consciousness, where Alastor, Angel Dust, Vaggie, Razzle and Dazzle, and the witch are waiting for her. Aware that something is not right, Angel Dust nervously asks Charlie if she is alright, but she opens her eyes to reveal that are completely red, and she grins sinisterly, revealing Satan is in full control. The Devil unleashes the Princess of Hell's power, knocking everyone back. As a fight ensues, it knocks Vaggie and Angel Dust unconscious by knocking them into a wall, and brutally attacks Razzle and Dazzle, using their reluctance to harm the princess to its advantage. Satan then sets its sights on Alastor, and engages the Radio Demon in an intense fight. Both demons are equally matched as they cast aggressive and demonic magic that devastates the landscape around them. When Charlie and Alastor become locked in a magical beam struggle, the Devil then reveals that it had merely been testing the Radio Demon's powers. Pleased by the Radio Demon's display of power, Satan exits the princess' vessel and travels into Alastor's by fusing into the magical stream until it reached the Radio Demon, and further tempts Alastor by repeating its lies about Charlie. Satan overrides Alastor's control, taking full possession of his vessel.

Now under Satan's control, a fully demonic Alastor proceeds to attack Charlie in a fit of rage, slashing her across the side with his claws. The wounded Princess of Hell tries to defend herself and reason with Alastor, telling him that Satan is filling his head with lies. She promises to find a way to help Alastor see his mother again, but he refuses to listen, and uses voodoo blood magic to telekinetically attack the princess, opening the wound on her side even wider, partially exposing her ribs and heart. As Charlie is gravely injured and weakened from the trauma and blood loss, Alastor pounces on top of her, preparing to deliver the killing blow. Angel Dust desperately attempted to get between Charlie and Alastor, begging the latter to stop, but one of Alastor's demonic tentacles grabs Angel and throws him back. As the princess struggled to free herself from the Radio Demon's grasp, although unable to as Satan was enhancing the Radio Demon's powers and the blood loss was weakening her, he prepared to use his blood magic to attack her heart, but before he could deal the killing blow, Vaggie runs up behind the Radio Demon and ferociously stabs him through his chest with an angelic spear from behind, causing him to abruptly cease his attack. The Radio Demon, slowly dying from being struck with Vaggie's spear, falls away from Charlie and collapses to the ground as Vaggie stands over Charlie, her spear at the ready. The witch quickly tends to the princess' wound as Alastor slowly fades, his body dissipating into darkness. The hotel crew believed him to have been erased, when in reality Satan had simply transported him to places unknown.

In the end credits, Satan, using Alastor as a vessel, meets up with Lucifer in an unknown location (possibly Purgatory), where the King of Hell inquired how Satan's encounter with Charlie had gone. The Devil warned Lucifer that the princess and her friends were going to free Forti and Manco from their prisons, and that they had to be killed. Lucifer told Satan that although it was allowed to kill, he barred it from killing the princess as she was vital to his plan of taking over Heaven. Satan reluctantly agrees to spare Charlie, but threatens that it will kill her if she fails to prove her worth.

In "No Demon Left Behind", the hotel crew have succeeded in freeing Forti from his torturous chains (at the cost of losing Ren to the trials of Limbo), to which the archangel had decided to stay in Limbo for a little longer to replenish his strength. Following Forti's liberation, Charlie, Razzle, and Dazzle embarked on a mission to find Alastor and free him from Satan's influence. Although she was warned by her fellow crew members to not look for Alastor, she insisted that they couldn't leave each other behind.

Charlie searches for Alastor for a full day, until she reaches a desolate region of the Pride Ring. Charlie finally finds Alastor, still under Satan's influence, devouring several demons to rejuvenate from his injury. Alastor spots Charlie and viciously attacks her. During the attack, Alastor easily defeats Razzle and Dazzle and attacks Charlie. The princess tries to fight him off, but is reluctant to harm him, allowing Satan to use the Radio Demon's power to go all out and defeat her. Satan, through Alastor, taunts the princess for her desire to free Forti and Manco. With victory within its reach, Satan mockingly tells her that she will die alone, until it hears Niffty's high-pitched voice telling it that Charlie was not alone. Alastor then turns to see the entire Happy Hotel crew have come to the princess' aid. The crew then attack Alastor all at once, and although they initially prove to be quite the fierce fighters, and nearly succeed in restraining him several times, Satan uses the Radio Demon's immense demonic powers to defeat Charlie's entire team. Intent on killing the Happy Hotel crew, Alastor begins slowly suffocating the crew by enveloping them in an oil-like substance.

As Angel Dust desperately tries to free himself and his friends from the oil substance, Satan mocks the spider demon by asking the latter if anyone would remember him after he is killed for good. However, before the Happy Hotel crew are swallowed in the substance, Forti explosively arrives to the battle from a portal, having finished preparing himself for a new war with Satan. Satan hatefully snarls and roars at Forti, enraged that he has been freed, and summons eldritch tentacles to attack him, but the tentacles become instantly vaporized when they make contact with Forti's magic aura. Forti blasts the oil-like substance, causing it to disintegrate, freeing the Happy Hotel crew. Now freed, every single member of the hotel crew grabs Alastor, retraining him as he grows viciously and attempts to attack them. Seizing the opportunity, Forti flies over to the restrained Radio Demon at lightning speed, and uses his four wings to cast a massive blast of heavenly light on the Radio Demon. With Alastor helpless to break free, the holy light forcibly exorcises Satan out of his vessel, freeing the Radio Demon from its grip.

Following his liberation, Alastor fell the the ground, where the crew crowded around him and speculated his fate. Suddenly, Alastor jolted back up with a smile, which startled the team and causes nearly all of them to unsheathe their weapons and get into a defensive stance, but stand down once they realize that he is no longer under the influence of Satan. The Radio Demon is confused and inquires what had happened, but Vaggie said it was a long story and they would explain later. Charlie then stated that all that was left for the hotel crew to do was save Manco, as she had promised that she would return for him. Forti informed Charlie and her allies that he would be taking her and her allies to Purgatory, so that he could take on Satan and its army once and for all while Charlie and her friends rescued Manco from his prison. Vaggie attempts to warn Forti that the fate of the entire Universe is at stake, and although he is God's most powerful angel, life itself would be doomed if he were to fail, but Forti furiously says he will kill anyone who stands in his way.

Forti, with difficulty, opens the gateway to Purgatory, giving Charlie and her allies to option of entering, before promptly flying through to confront Satan. Although unsure of what would happen next, Charlie and the team agreed to enter Purgatory for Manco, Razzle and Dazzle drive the team's limo through the gateway as everyone braced themselves for a perilous mission.

The Season 3 finale "Out of the Frying Pan..." opens exactly where the previous episode left off; the hotel crew cautiously driving through Purgatory, with Alastor providing humorous, yet foreboding narration using his radio staff. After a tense moment of suspense and searching, the team find themselves in Manco's prison dimension, and find the angel still imprisoned in his cage. Charlie walks up to Manco, who is relieved and happy to see her again. Smiling, she told Manco that she would help him, before attempting to release him. However, just before she could, the gigantic face of the Devil herself, Satan, slowly manifests behind her, flanked by its massive army. Manco warned Charlie of Satan's appearance, to which the princess stood in front of Manco, refusing to let Satan harm him again. The rest of the Happy Hotel crew then come to Charlie's side, and Angel Dust says that if Satan wants to harm the princess, it will have to go through him and the others. Satan orders the Army of Darkness to kill the crew, and a small group of the malevolent army rush at them.

Through the combined efforts of the Happy Hotel crew, the small number of the army are barely defeated, although most of the crew are injured and exhausted in the process, with Fergus, Vaggie, and Angel Dust receiving multiple cuts and stab wounds to the point where they have to be carried by the others. Watching with amusement as the crew struggle to fight off its underlings, Satan ordered its entire army to attack the crew from all sides. The crew stare up in fear at the impending doom, but Forti flies in and begins fighting the army off, ordering the crew to get inside their limousine and drive as far away as possible. Charlie then finally destroyed Manco's cage, freeing the young angel from his prison. Manco broke down in joyful tears and hugged Charlie tightly as a sign of gratitude, to which she reciprocated and ran back to the crew's limo with the angel in her arms. After everyone is inside of the limo, they speed off, although they have no idea where to go, as the gateway back to Hell was sealed shut by the cherubs. Satan pursues the crew as Forti continues battling the Army of Darkness, with their battle spilling out into the universe of Purgatory.

As Satan nears closer to the limo, Fergus says that they aren't going to be able to outrun the Devil using the limousine. Out of options, Razzle and Dazzle spot several portals in the prison dimension, and run the limo through one of them, which sends the vehicle hurdling down a wormhole at high speeds. The crew believe that they are in the clear, until Satan appears in the wormhole, still in pursuit, and summons a colossal humanoid monster to its aid. The creature nearly grabs the limo, but Razzle and Dazzle steer the limo away from its hand, causing the limo to collide with the side of the wormhole, greatly damaging it. Just before Satan catches up to the crew, the limo finally reaches the end of the wormhole, sending it barreling down towards a yellow planet. The Happy Hotel crew can do nothing but scream as the limo crashes down onto the surface of the planet, completely destroying it. Fortunately, the crew are able to recover from the crash, although their injuries from the onslaught remain. Despite making it out of Manco's prison dimension alive, the crew are hit with the realization that they are now trapped in the nightmarish dimension of Purgatory, with seemingly no way out and no hope of escaping. Despite these odds, Charlie promises the crew that no matter what, they will find a way out of Purgatory and make it back home. Although most of them remain uncertain, the team continues on, venturing off into the unknown.

Although the Happy Hotel crew have temporarily evaded its grasp, Satan returns to Manco's prison dimension, looming over the corpses of Manco's alternate counterparts. Satan's essence enters the corpses of the deceased Mancos as it orders them to awaken, proclaiming that it is time for them to fulfill their purpose. As it says this, the dead Mancos' eyes suddenly open and glow a bright shade of red.

##### Season 3

The Season 3 premiere "Stranded", Satan forcibly summons the Overlords Vox, Velvet, and Valentino to Purgatory. Satan uses the possessed corpses of Manco's deceased counterparts to communicate with them, which humorously disturbs Vox, while Velvet found the zombies to be cute and took selfies with them. the Devil claimed to the three Overlords that it could bestow them with ultimate power and allow them to take revenge upon the hotel crew. In order to obtain such a thing, it instructs the VVV Overlords to find Charlie's allies and bring them before the Devil, so it can absorb its divine energy and use it to destroy the seven seals of Purgatory. When Valentino becomes skeptical on Satan's honesty, the Devil gives the three Overlords a "small taste" of ultimate power, and greatly enhances all of their abilities. Velvet is ecstatic at her new abilities and uses her powers to create an army of sentient dolls. Now convinced of Satan's "honesty" and with their already-immense power increased, the VVV Overlords set out to fulfill Satan's orders and find Charlie and/or her allies.

Meanwhile, one day has passed since the Happy Hotel crew have been trapped in Purgatory. After Fergus fails to contact anyone in Purgatory using Alastor's radio, the crew decide to split up, with all of them, sans Charlie, Alastor, Razzle, Dazzle, and Niffty, tasked with finding a new vehicle for the crew, while Charlie's crew is left to face the mysteries of Purgatory. While off venturing, Charlie's crew runs into a warrior named Adina, who rescues them from a flock of winged monsters named Agori. She takes them to her make-shift home in the decaying remains of a giant creature, where they discover that she is the caretaker of a group of seven angel children, Amelia, James, Megara, Arthur, Giulia, Simon, and Christopher. She also claims to be an angel herself, and tells the team that she has been trapped in Purgatory with the children for billions of years.

Initially, the seven angels are fearful of the Happy Hotel crew and avoid them, as they are demons. Despite this initial tension, the children grow closer and more open towards them after a couple of days, with their bond growing after Charlie and Niffty rescue them from being kidnapped by a floc of Agori. Eventually, the young angels establish enough trust in them and begin conversating with the crew. While around a campfire, Charlie asks the angels how they ended up in Purgatory. The children seem reluctant to tell, until Amelia steps up and explains their backstory:

The children formerly resided in Heaven, where they, as friends, lived in joy, peace, and happiness. That was, until one day, a great darkness appeared in Heaven, growing until it enveloped the entire realm. The darkness then took form, and attacked the realm with its army, revealing the darkness to be none other than Satan. The children watched in horror and sadness as Satan and Lucifer's followers massacred their friends and family, and demolished their homeland. The children nearly perished at the hands of the fallen angels, but a team of warrior angels arrived and were able to hold Lucifer's army back. The children, on the orders of the soldiers, hid away in a nearby home, while the warrior angels stayed outside to fight back against the opposing forces. Despite their efforts, the soldiers were casually murdered by Lucifer, who entered the shelter and found the angels hiding. As the Prince of Heaven stared down at the children, one of Lucifer's followers, a fallen angel, entered and requested his master's permission to execute them. Lucifer ultimately decided against killing them, at least for now. He instead ordered his men to abduct the seven angels, seeing more potential in raising the young angels into serving him.

As the Battle of Heaven transpired, the children were taken by Lucifer's followers in chains and led off to be stowed away until Lucifer had assumed control over Heaven. However, they were rescued by the warrior angel, Adina, who freed the children and led them away from the carnage. One of Lucifer's lieutenants informed the Prince of Heaven that Adina had taken off with his would-be child soldiers. Upon hearing this, Lucifer angrily ordered a squad of his minions to hunt down and kill Adina and the seven children. Knowing that she couldn't fight all of Lucifer's forces alone, Adina continued to run as far and fast as she could with the children through the blood-covered and war-torn scape of Heaven, while the fallen angels quickly began to close in on them. Adina managed to temporarily elude them, before hiding under wreckage with the children. While comforting the young angels as Forti and Satan's battle escalated the chaos around them, Adina swore to protect them with her life. Unfortunately, Adina and the seven angels were among the many who were accidentally dragged into Purgatory when Forti opened the massive gateway to the realm in order to seal Satan and the Army of Darkness. Throughout the next billion years, Adina attempted to escape Purgatory with the children, but her attempts only resulted in failure, though she never gave up, despite suffering many horrific injuries along the way.

After hearing the story, Charlie swears to help Adina and the angels get out of Purgatory with them. Despite the Princess of Hell's well-meaning intentions, Adina becomes rather confrontational with Charlie, Alastor, and Adina, not wanting any harm to befall on the seven angels, but after some persuasion from the children themselves, Adina reluctantly agrees to join the Happy Hotel crew on their mission to escape Purgatory, but bluntly warned Charlie, Alastor, and Niffty that if anything bad were to happen to the children, she would kill them all herself. The next day, Charlie and her team continue their quest to escape Purgatory, now joined by Adina and the seven angels.

In "Survival", Charlie's team, now including Adina and the children, are scavenging for supplies at the top of a small mountain. During this, Manco and the seven angels begin bonding and playing catch with each other, using a rock for a ball. When James throws the rock nearly over a cliff, Manco flies over to pick it up, only to stumble upon the heavily mutilated corpses of a herd of giant lizard-like creatures. The crew come to Manco's side, witnessing the carnage as well. During the investigation, the crew are suddenly attacked by Manco's deceased and possessed alternate counterparts, some of which crawl out of the lizard carcasses, still eating their organs, revealing them to be behind the massacre. The crew are horrified by the sight of them, especially Manco himself, and the crew immediately flee into a nearby cave system while being pursued by the deceased Manco army. During the intense chase, Manco is nearly abducted by his counterparts, who use their wings to fly and grab him, but Razzle and Dazzle are able to rescue him. Following an intense chase, the crew trick the Mancos into falling down into a ravine, presumably defeating them.

Meanwhile, back with the rest of the Happy Hotel crew, they have been venturing aimlessly for days. After walking several miles, they end up finding themselves in a post-apocalyptic and desolate city. They search through the city and end up finding an abandoned military facility. Taking advantage of the situation, Fergus tells the team that they will make use of the facility by hiding out inside and savaging for resources until they are ready to move on. While searching through the decaying facility, the team are suddenly attacked by a group of robots who begin attempting to restrain them. The struggle is broken up when the robots' creator, Baxter, a fish demon and inventor, enters the room, demanding to know what is happening. Upon seeing the Happy Hotel crew, Baxter is ecstatic to finally have "new friends", and pounces on Vaggie, hugging her, much to her discomfort. During this, Crymini, a teenage hyena sinner who acts as Baxter's (reluctant) assistant, enters to room, apathetic to the unusual circumstances. Vaggie tells Baxter that her team is in a similar situation as him and Crymini, saying they are both trapped in Purgatory. Baxter orders his robot minions to stand down, and decides to allow the crew to stay at their "home" as guests, and possibly assist them in escaping Purgatory.

Later that night, a violent storm rolls in just as both teams of the Happy Hotel crew are getting some sleep. While asleep in a cave, Manco has a nightmare involving himself, Satan, the deceased Manco army, and the Happy Hotel crew. In the nightmare, he is taken back to his prison by Satan, who sends one of Manco's undead counterparts into his cage, who bites Manco on his arm. Manco then watches in utter fear and shock as his body graphically rots away, melting the skin off of his hands and face, exposing his bones and tissue. He then turned to see Charlie and Adina desperately trying to fight through the dead Manco army in an attempt to save him, only for them to be overrun and brutally devoured by Manco's zombie counterparts. Manco finally wakes up from the nightmare, and begins suffering a panic attack. Charlie, awoken by Manco's screaming, rushes over to him and calms him down with a hug, assuring him that he is safe with her and the others. Manco is still shaken, so Charlie lays next to him, and sings him a lullaby that her mother, Lilith, used to sing to her. The lullaby calms Manco down, and he cuddles up to Charlie and falls back asleep. However, just as Charlie is about to fall asleep as well, Satan's voice echoes in her head, warning her that she can't protect Manco forever. Charlie is startled by this, and looks around frantically, but sees no immediate danger. She cautiously falls back to sleep, holding Manco close to her.

Back with the other team, the military base begins to shudder and crumble, waking the crew up. Fergus and Angel Dust, who were in the shooting range together, yell for the crew to look out the windows. Vaggie looks out to see the Army of Darkness has found them, and are descending upon them from the sky. Baxter orders his robot minions to keep the army at bay as the team runs inside an armored bunker, but the robots are effortlessly dispatched by the far more powerful Army of Darkness. While hiding in the bunker, Baxter informs the crew that they may have a way out; before the crew arrived, he had been constructing a spaceship that he and Crymini planned to use to get off of the yellow planet. Baxter hypothesizes that they could use the ship to escape the Army of Darkness, but he warns that the vessel may not function properly, as he has not run tests on it yet. Husk says it's the only option they have, so the team makes a break for the base's storage facility. The team manages to pass through the enemy forces, through the doors, and lock them, but they are given no reprieve. Acting quickly, Baxter and Crymini scaled a hidden ladder leading to the storage facility. During this, the Army of Darkness quickly burst inside the room, attacking the Happy Hotel crew and forcing them to fight back. During the struggle, the ladder breaks, stopping the Happy Hotel crew from reaching Baxter and Crymini. Although Vaggie begs Baxter to find a way to help them, Baxter, prioritizing his and Crymini's safety, leaves the crew behind with reluctance.

To make matters worse for the Happy Hotel crew, Manco's undead counterparts, who survived their fall off of the mountain, barge in through the entrances and aide the Army of Darkness in cornering them, leaving the crew trapped. However, the army abruptly stops once they have cornered the crew at the behest of an unknown commander. To the shock of the crew, the VVV Overlords make a sudden appearance, revealing themselves to be the ones leading the attack, and Vox claims that Lucifer has been looking for them. In a fit of rage, Angel Dust pulls out his machine gun and attempts to kill the three Overlords, but Vox shields himself and his comrades using an electric barrier, before Valentino restrains all of them using his red smoke. Valentino then uses the smoke to lift Angel Dust towards him, sinisterly claiming that he has missed him. Angel Dust viciously spat in Valentino's face, cursing him for murdering Fat Nuggets. The three Overlords claimed that they were looking for Heaven's Light, but after Vaggie's team refused to give them Charlie's location, Vox suggested to Valentino that they should take them to Lucifer, believing that he will be able to make them talk. Valentino agrees with this, before knocking out Angel Dust with a punch to the face.

In "The Fading Light", Lucifer and the VVV Overlords bring Vaggie's team into the dark recesses of space, and have all of them magically restrained. They are confused as to what is happening, until Satan appears, telling the crew that they should have never entered Purgatory. The Devil then expressed that it had some use for Vaggie's team, knowing it could use them to lure Charlie and Alastor, as it was aware that she was in possession of Heaven's Light. Satan proceeded to psychologically torture Vaggie over her tragic pasts, projecting her screams of agony throughout all of Purgatory. As the Devil had planned, Charlie's team hear the pained cries of their allies, and Charlie desperately tells Adina they have to help them, recognizing Vaggie's voice. Adina sympathizes with Charlie's pleas, agreeing to help her, and she instructs the seven angels to stay put and hide until they return. Charlie also advises Manco to stay with the seven angels, and he tells Charlie to stay safe. Adina surrounds herself, Charlie, and Alastor in a white, energy-generated capsule, which flies itself out into space and towards the dark recesses of Purgatory, heading into the direction of the screams.

Alastor, Adina, Charlie, Razzle, Dazzle, and Niffty finally arrive to the location, and Alastor is immediately confronted by Vox, and he wastes no time in engaging the VVV Overlords in a battle, while Charlie and Adina free the Happy Hotel crew, allowing them to assist Alastor in fighting off the VVV Overlords. During an intense battle with Vox, Alastor initially is able to keep Vox on the ropes, but due to Satan enhancing the TV Demon's powers, Vox uses his enhanced demonic powers to effortlessly deal with Alastor. Before Vox can finish Alastor off, Adina and Charlie come to his aide, knocking Vox aside. Although they quickly disperse the three demons, Lucifer gets involved in the fight, easily defeating Adina and telekinetically restraining Charlie.

Lucifer expresses disappointment in his daughter, chastising her for "chasing rainbows" and following her "childish" dreams, before taking Heaven's Light from Charlie's possession. Lucifer was then cut off by Fergus, who confronted the King of Hell with his knives and ax drawn. Lucifer simply ignored Fergus and continued focusing on Charlie, not seeing Fergus as a worthy opponent in his current state, but Fergus refused to allow his former master to hurt the princess and charged at the King of Hell, with Lucifer very casually knocking Fergus back a couple meters with a simple wave of his hand. Lucifer then asked his daughter to excuse him while he dealt with Fergus, before immobilizing her using magic and focusing on Fergus. Despite all of Fergus' attempts to kill the far more powerful fallen angel, Lucifer was able to overpower Fergus, toying with him throughout the entire fight all while tossing him around with ease.

Lucifer then admitted that he had grown bored of toying with Fergus, before finally suspended the fallen angel in the air using telekinesis. Forcing Charlie to watch, Lucifer transmuted his cane into a divine sword, and severed Fergus' left hand in one swipe, causing him an excruciating amount of pain. Lucifer proceeded to joke about severing Fergus' hand, facetiously calling back to when he cut Fergus' right arm off the first time he had tortured him. The King of Hell then violently sent Fergus into a nearby rock structure, knocking him unconscious. Satan then got involved in the conflict, further torturing Vaggie, who had been subdued by Velvet, with memories of her horrific childhood abuse at the hands of her father, while Lucifer and the VVV Overlords forced a helpless Charlie to watch. As more of her friends were tormented, and Vaggie's cries of help and pain grew more unbearable, Charlie finally broke free from Lucifer's magic, accessing her Full Demon Form and surrounding herself in an aura of dark and light magic. The princess, in a blind rage, proceeds to easily overwhelm the VVV Overlords, and uses a combination of dark and angelic magic to free Vaggie. The Princess of Hell's breakdown and sudden display of angelic power catches the interest of Satan, who orders its underlings, the Army of Darkness, to bring Charlie to it. The princess proceeds to combat the army, still enraged by the unfolding events, although their numbers begin to slowly overwhelm her.

Just before Charlie could get overwhelmed, Forti flies into the fray, proceeding to wipe out the Army of Darkness in droves. On the orders of Satan, Beelzebub is forced to engage with Forti (and Adina, who shortly recovers) in a losing battle. During the battle, the defeated Happy Hotel crew gather, although they seemingly have nowhere to go, and soon become cornered by Vox, Velvet, and Valentino. However, to their luck, a spaceship flies into the fight, unleashing a hail of lasers upon the VVV Overlords, stunning them. The pilots of the ship turn out to be none other than Baxter and Crymini, the former of which proclaims that they have arrived to rescue the crew. While the VVV Overlords are stunned, Angel Dust fires his machine gun at them, successfully shooting the right half of Valentino's head off in the process, rendering the moth demon unconscious, although he would begin slowly healing from his wounds. Meanwhile, Beelzebub is easily defeated by Forti, and the Happy Hotel crew enter Baxter's ship as it lands. After all of the team has boarded the spaceship, Baxter attempts to fly off, but Lucifer catches the ship using telekinesis. He prepares to crush the ship with a malevolent grin, but Forti projects a beam of yellow energy at Lucifer, forcing him to release the ship in order to dodge the attack. During this, Heaven's Light escapes Lucifer's grasp and flies back into Charlie's hands. Baxter is finally able to activate the lightspeed engines, blasting off with the Happy Hotel crew. Shortly after, Lucifer and Satan are confronted by Forti, but Satan refuses to fight the archangel until its full power is restored, before vanishing away, with Lucifer teleporting away shortly afterward. Forti swears to destroy Lucifer and his master, before flying off to places unknown.

In an unknown location, Satan looms over the recovering VVV Overlords, enraged over their failure to capture Heaven's Light by stating that it should have never given them such a task in the first place after they had previously failed Lucifer. Satan spitefully strips the three Overlords of their power enhancements, murders Velvet's doll "children", and sends them off to fulfill their mission at the threat of killing them for their next failure. Defiantly, Vox declared that their mission was far from over, and the VVV Overlords stormed off so that they could pursue the Happy Hotel crew and complete their mission.

Back on the ship, half of the Happy Hotel crew are being treated for their injuries sustained in the fight. Vaggie suffers a panic attack over having to relive the sexual abuse subjected to her by her father, to which Charlie calms her down and comforts her. Later, the crew return to the yellow planet to pick up the seven angels and Manco, before blasting off. When everything has settled, Baxter tells the crew that they are truly lucky to have survived, and Angel Dust says that they will be lucky if they escape Purgatory at the rate they are going. Baxter, using the ship's captain chair, opens a massive holographic map of Purgatory, revealing it to be far bigger than the crew possibly imagined. Baxter cryptically tells the team to prepare themselves physically and mentally, as now that the crew is together, the journey to escape Purgatory has only just begun.

In "Into The Darkness", the Happy Hotel crew are brainstorming ways to get out of Purgatory. Alastor believes that escaping Purgatory is impossible, as not even Satan and its army have been able to escape, while most members of the team are uncertain of whether or not escaping is possible. Even then, Charlie, Manco, Giulia, and Amelia remain optimistic, and reassure the crew that they can and will find a way back home. Out of nowhere, Vox appears in the form of a flying bolt of lightning to attack the crew's spaceship, prompting the crew to attempt to speed off. Despite their efforts, the crew are unable to shake Vox off as his lightning blasts begin to severely damage the crew's ship. With no other choice, Baxter activates the lightspeed engines, allowing them to escape the villain. They seem to be in the clear, until the spaceship loses power, forcing Baxter to land on a nearby planet to make repairs.

Baxter deduces that the ship's engine is too exhausted and damaged by Vox's lightning attacks, and that the repair will take several days tops. Until then, Baxter suggests that the crew get to know each other. Charlie assures everyone that they will be safe as long as they have Heaven's Light, since it is protecting them from Satan. Over the next couple of days, the old and new members of the hotel crew begin bonding, with Adina and the seven children strengthening their friendship with the sinners and demons. The seven angels also begin bonding with Angel Dust, listening to his stories and assuring him that he could redeem himself. Although he still has his doubts, he grows attached to the children as they encourage him to be a better person.

Charlie and Alastor left the crew to scavenge for parts that Baxter had sent them out to acquire for the repair of the spaceship. While they were searching for the parts, the Radio Demon suddenly hears Satan's voice calling from the distance. The Devil beckons Alastor to "leave the light" and join it in the darkness as a black fog rolls in the area. At the same time, the Army of Darkness attacks the other members of the hotel crew, forcing them to fight for their lives while Charlie and Alastor lose each other in the fog. Fergus and Angel Dust then both ran off to where the princess and the Radio Demon left to go find them.

Meanwhile, as Charlie called out to Alastor, the Radio Demon is confronted with horrible incorporeal images depicting Alastor being racially abused by a group of bullies during his childhood. The flashbacks then depict him and his beloved mother making jambalaya together, and how they loved to sing the song "You're Never Fully Dressed Without A Smile", and how his mother comforted Alastor after he had endured racial abuse at the hands of a gang of bullies. As the memories come to an end, a large portal appears, and Satan tells Alastor that if he enters the portal, he will unlock ultimate power, and be able to reunite with his mother in Heaven.

Back with the other team, Simon suggests to Baxter that he and the other angels could possibly use their powers to revive the ship's engines. Baxter goes on a rant and begins calculating the chances of the engines surviving the angels' kinetic energy, but the children interrupt him and use their combined power to charge the ship's engines, which ends up reviving the spaceship. The crew is ready to leave, but Alastor, Charlie, Angel, and Fergus are still missing. Crymini bluntly prepares to activate the ship's engines, stating that, if needed, she will sacrifice the missing members for the mission, since the lives of the entire crew are at stake.

Meanwhile, Alastor questions Satan on why he is seeing these visions, and Satan responds by telling him that he is seeing what he most desires. Charlie finally finds Alastor through the fog and rushes to stop him from entering the portal. However, Satan summons a flare that strikes the princess, knocking her unconscious. Fergus and Angel arrive to the scene and see Charlie on the ground. Assuming that Alastor had attacked her, they take Charlie back to the ship and tell Baxter to fly off, to which he does as told. Shortly after the ship leaves the planet, Alastor enters the portal, leaving his fate unknown. Charlie is awoken by Manco and stares out the window in tears, distressed over the Radio Demon's fate.

In "Everything Changes", Baxter reveals to the Happy Hotel crew a way that they could escape Purgatory; while stranded with Crymini, Baxter had been building a portal that could beam targets across other dimensions. The only problem was that the substance that is used to power it, Celumite, is an extremely rare substance that can only be obtained via a comet that flies across Purgatory, so Baxter largely forgot about the project. The rest of the crew are willing to try and get it, but Charlie, who has secluded herself from the others, is still sulking over having to abandon Alastor. Razzle and Dazzle comfort her, and she tells the two goat demons that she is going get Alastor back through any means. Razzle and Dazzle desperately try to warn her that going to Satan's domain is a bad idea, she remains determined to save Alastor to ensure no one gets left behind.

After arriving near the comet, the crew prepare for the expedition to get the Celumite, except for Charlie, who is in her room on the ship, looking out a window in deep thought. As she is contemplating her next move, Manco enters the room and greets Charlie with a hug, which the princess returns. Manco asks Charlie if she is alright, having noticed her abnormal behavior. When Charlie confesses to him that she is going to save Alastor, Manco frantically begs her not to go to the black hole, knowing that Satan will be waiting for her. Despite the angel's pleas, Charlie insists that she will be alright. When Manco asks if he can come with her on her mission, she refuses to let him as she doesn't want to risk anything bad happening to him. Before she leaves, Charlie gives Heaven's Light to the young angel, and tells him to stay on the ship with the others. Embracing him one last time, the princess leaves the room to go on her perilous mission, leaving Manco sitting on her bed, downhearted.

As Charlie is walking down the hallway, trying to avoid being seen by the others, Adina suddenly appears and confronts the demon princess, telling Charlie that she is going with her. Charlie tries to protest against this, but Adina says that Satan is too strong for any of them, but knowing that the princess' mind is already made up, she wants to go along to make her chances of survival better. Adina also expresses admiration to the Princess of Hell for her courage and loyalty to Alastor. Knowing that she can't change Adina's mind, Charlie and the warrior angel leave the ship together, unbeknownst to the crew (who have begun the expedition), landing on a motionless asteroid in the middle of space. Charlie then asks Adina what they should do, and Adina says they will simply wait, knowing Satan will find them eventually.

After a few minutes of nothing happening, Charlie suddenly falls to her knees, holding her head in pain as Satan telekinetically speaks to her. The Devil thanks her for, in its words, deciding to join the darkness. The Princess of Hell orders the Devil to give Alastor back, but Satan says that if she wants Alastor to be returned, she must personally come to its domain and get him. Just then, a black hole-like portal opens in the ground below Charlie and Adina, dragging them into a wormhole. Satan beckons the two to descend lower until they reach the area where "light dies". As the two descend lower and lower into the wormhole, they finally reach a dark dimension where there is no light. Adina uses her sword to cast a light that illuminates most of the area, keeping Charlie close to her. After they call out for Satan to show itself, Satan finally manifests in front of the two, welcoming Charlie to its home.

Satan seemingly comforts Charlie by saying that it had summoned her to its lair to guide her through Purgatory, which Satan regards as nothing but a "wasteland". Adina says that Purgatory is the way it is because of Satan, and insults the Devil for seemingly being too cowardly to face them in its true form, but Satan says that it had grown beyond the need for a physical form long ag. When the princess demands Alastor's return, Satan tells her that she and Alastor can be reunited on the condition that she serve Satan in its goals. Satan claims that Charlie has forgotten her purpose as the Princess of Hell, and that she has become blinded by Forti and God, who it claims wish to bring about the destruction of all demonkind. Adina affirms that Forti is benevolent and their savior, to which Satan calls her a "foolish angel", and regards God as a genocidal tyrant who wishes to bring about the death of all who reside within Hell, all while showing Charlie memories of the Exterminators annually massacring Hell's populace. Adina tells Charlie to not listen to what the Devil says, warner her that it is attempting to manipulate her, but Satan says that it knows more about Heaven than Adina could possibly imagine. When Adina orders Satan to prove it, Satan says that all are blind, until their eyes are opened, before implanting a vision in Adina and Charlie's heads.

It is here that Satan reveals that it was once one of the Light Beyond the Stars that existed before the creation of the Universe. According to Satan, the Light Beyond the Stars initially lived in eternal bliss and peace, until God decreed that the Universe was to be populated with life. Satan claims that God created life to be worshipped by His creations and create strife, as all who worshipped Him would be blessed with immense power to wipe out those who would not. Satan claims that God is responsible for all evil in the Universe, so it rebelled against Him, broke away from the Light Beyond the Stars, created the Army of Darkness, and claims that it corrupted God's angels to empower them to break free from His control. As the story goes, Satan and its followers nearly succeeded in destroying the Universe, until Forti casted them into Purgatory. Time and time again, Satan and its followers struggled to free themselves from Purgatory and reclaim their "rightful place". The Devil says that now that Charlie is here, its time to finally escape has arrived. Charlie and Adina's vision ends as they both collapse from exhaustion. As Charlie looks back up at Satan, breathing heavily, Satan proclaims that Charlie is no longer blind.

With its origins revealed, Satan claims that God used the Light Beyond the Stars as slaves to build the Universe, and warns Charlie that if she continues down her current path of redeeming sinners, she will become just another slave to Him. Satan then gives the princess one final chance to join it and her father in "cleansing" the Universe. Almost immediately, Charlie rejects the Devil's proposition, and attempts to reason with Satan by reaffirming her belief that angels, humans, and even sinners, deep down, are kind-hearted beings who could achieve peace if the conflict between them came to an end. Clearly stuck in its hatred of life, Satan brushes off her epiphany, regarding her as an "ignorant child", before telekinetically hurling her into a wall in a fit of rage. Satan and Charlie proceed to have a battle of ideologies, with Satan claiming that the Universe is to be perfect, which it claims can only be achieved through total destruction, while Charlie claims that universal perfection can be achieved by uniting all within. The princess notes Satan's hypocrisy by saying that, although it claims Forti is evil, its sole desire is to kill everything in the universe, including her. Satan tells Charlie that no matter how much effort she puts into uniting the Universe, it will inevitably lead to her end. While helping Adina to her feet, Charlie proclaims that a true God creates life to bring peace and happiness, while Satan uses its creations to annihilate and oppress everything that stands in its path. Realizing that Charlie was never going to be converted, Satan telekinetically lifts the demon princess towards it, and told her that she would join it through death instead.

Adina reacts quickly and flies towards Charlie, bringing her away to safety. Refusing to let the two escape from its domain alive, Satan summons a hoard of demonic creatures to prevent Charlie and Adina from escaping. Adina fights her way through the hoard using her sword and shield, with Charlie giving her some assistance, but the two are unable to find a way out of Satan's domain. Eventually, the two become surrounded by an entire army of Satan's creations, although they both stand together, ready to fight back. In a flash, the army is suddenly vaporized by a yellow, blinding light of energy before they could attack Charlie and Adina. Charlie and Adina then look up to see Forti flying inside of Satan's domain, having arrived to aide them in their escape. As Satan summoned more and more droves of creatures, Forti shouted for the two to find a way out, while he stayed and bought them time to escape. While Charlie and Adina search for an exit, Satan unleashes a rain of pink, crystalized spiked upon the two. Adina quickly grabbed the princess and held her close, shielding them both from the spikes with her golden shield. Adina claims that the spikes are "wicked", and warns Charlie to avoid making contact with them at all costs.

Forti finishes slaughtering Satan's forces, and flies to personally confront the Devil. Forti fires a conjoined energy blast from the tips of his wings at Satan's direction, but to Forti's shock, Satan is completely unaffected by the archangel's head-on attack, and rebounds the resulting explosion of the attack back at Forti, Charlie, and Adina, knocking them all to the ground. With Charlie struggling to stand back up, Satan takes advantage and sends a poisonous spike in the demon princess' direction. Before the spike could make contact with her, Forti flew over to Charlie, shielding her with his own body, which results in him getting hit in the upper arm by the poisonous spike. Although Forti almost immediately rips the spike from his arm, the poison within the spike flows through his body as Adina and Charlie react in dread. Horrified and angered, Adina unsheathes her sword and leaps at Satan, only for her blade to be blocked by an unseen force. When Adina opens her eyes, she sees that Forti was the one who stopped her, but he seems just as stunned as her. Using the poison within Forti, Satan is able to control the archangel like a puppet, forcing him to attack Adina against his will. While fighting him off, Adina pleads with Forti to resist, but he is unable to do so.

Despite clearly being outclassed by Forti's superior strength, Adina initially puts up a surprisingly good defense, holding the controlled archangel off for several minutes. However, the fight takes a turn when Forti punches Adina's sword from her hands, forcing her to defend herself with her shield. Forti then began to swing his sword wildly at Adina's shield, shattering it after multiple swings. Adina manages to recover her sword, but it isn't long until her sword is also broken by Forti. The archangel then grabbed Adina by the neck and slammed her to the ground, pinning her down by the throat. Charlie attempted to separate Adina and Forti, but Satan summons an oil-like substance to restrain Charlie and hold her in place, forcing her to watch the events unfold. As Adina struggled to free herself from Forti's grasp, Satan forced Forti to raise his sword towards Adina's chest. As Forti desperately pleaded for Satan to stop, the Devil forced Forti to plunge his sword into Adina's chest, as Charlie stared on with a look of horror and sadness. As Adina bled out, Forti begged for her forgiveness, but the warrior angel succumbs to her injuries shortly after. Finally regaining control of himself, Forti quickly grabbed Charlie and flew her out of Satan's domain at high speeds.

Forti brings Charlie back to Baxter's ship, where she discovers that the crew had failed to obtain any Celumite, which was destroyed by Vox, Velvet, and Valentino, and that Vaggie and Angel Dust were injured during the mission. When Baxter asks where Charlie went, she tearfully informs the team of Adina's death, to their disbelief. Forti then sorrowfully enters the ship, and manifests Adina's corpse, confirming her death to the crew. This devastates the entire team, especially the seven angels that Adina guarded, who all fall to the ground in tears. Hours later, the crew is left reeling in the aftermath of both Adina's death and their failure to obtain the Celumite. The seven angels remain inconsolable, crying together while cradling Adina's helmet, mourning the loss of their guardian and mother figure. Charlie returns to her room, where she finds Manco still waiting for her with Heaven's Light in his hands. Manco hugs Charlie upon seeing her, relieved that she is okay, and begs her to not go back to Satan's domain. The princess, brought to tears, hugs Manco back tightly, promising that she wouldn't.

Charlie briefly leaves Baxter's ship to console Forti, who she finds destroying the sword that killed Adina in a fit of rage. Charlie comforts the archangel by telling him that she does not blame him for Adina's death, understanding that he couldn't control himself, but Forti calmly responds that, controlled or not, he still caused her death. Forti tells Charlie that he is a danger to everyone, and confesses that he does not have long before the poison completely corrupts him. He tells Charlie that he is going somewhere far away, and tells her to keep Heaven's Light, Manco, and the seven angels safe, and protect them from Satan and Lucifer at all costs. After Charlie promises to protect them with her life, Forti spreads his wings and flies off into deep space to an unknown location.

Meanwhile, with Adina dead, Forti poisoned, Alastor captured, and now a rift growing between the Happy Hotel crew, Satan revels in its victory within its domain. It claims that its power is increasing, and that, soon, nothing will stand in its way.

After Adina's death, Satan decided to stop confronting the Happy Hotel crew personally. Instead, it allowed the rift growing between the crew members to strengthen so that its victory would be assured with the team separated. As the Devil had planned, the Happy Hotel crew were greatly demoralized by Adina's death and the loss of the Celumite, with Angel Dust, Vaggie, Husk, Baxter, Fergus, and the seven angels completely losing their will to fight and escape Purgatory. This led to the Happy Hotel crew splitting apart from each other due to rising tensions, with Charlie being left alone with Razzle, Dazzle, and Manco on a jungle-like planet, Vaggie leaving to parts unknown with the seven angels, Angel Dust, Cherri Bomb, and Husk joining the underground city that the crew had previously encountered, Fergus and Niffty living out their days in an abandoned facility on the green planet, and Baxter and Crymini returning to Baxter's lab to continue working on his inventions. Alastor and Forti remained missing, with many assuming the latter had died as a result of being poisoned, although many held onto hope that he was fighting off the infection and would return to defeat Satan and Lucifer once and for all.

Over the next eight years, the Happy Hotel crew members spent much of their time hiding, with some, like Charlie and Angel Dust, helping those also trapped and suffering in Purgatory, garnering the respect of those they had helped along the way. Most of the team became disillusioned and lost interest in escaping, having no choice but to accept their new lives in Purgatory, with only Baxter still expressing determination to escape the eldritch dimension. However, nearly every member of the Happy Hotel crew (sans Baxter, Crymini, Niffty, and Cherri Bomb) slowly fell into deep depression for various reasons; from their constant and seemingly irreversible failure to return home, to missing their friends in Hell as well as the hotel itself, and constantly living in fear that Satan, its allies, or Purgatory's countless creatures would find and kill them.

In "No Time Left", eight years have passed since the Happy Hotel crew split apart from each other, and despite becoming disillusioned, broken, and haunted by their pasts, the crew have still carried on with their lives. While hiding away, Fergus upgraded his robotic arm, and has Niffty and Baxter (who occasionally contacts Fergus on a laptop screen) as his only constant companions. He frequently suffers from insomnia, panic attacks, and visions of various people tormenting him over his past with Lucifer, and failing to escape Purgatory. Meanwhile, Charlie, Manco, Razzle, and Dazzle have adapted to their lives and have managed to keep Heaven's Light safe and hidden, although Manco begins to notice Charlie has became depressed as a result of Vaggie leaving the crew.

In "Suffer The Children", Angel Dust, having reverted back to prostitution in order to make ends meet, returns back to his small home in the underground city after a visit to a brothel. To his surprise, he discovers the seven angels inside his living room, all staring at him with dead expressions. Angel Dust attempts to greet them, happy to see them again, but they remain silent. Growing concerned, Angel Dust asks them if they are alright, which causes the children to all smile demonically and gain red eyes, revealing that Satan has taken control of them. Speaking through the children, Satan tells the frightened Angel Dust that it desires his assistance. Horrified to encounter the Devil again, Angel Dust angrily ordered Satan to release the children, threatening to kill it if they weren't released, but Satan stated that Angel Dust would have to harm the angels in order to get to it. Satan told Angel Dust that he must work with it if he ever wanted to see the seven angels safe again, but Angel Dust once again threatens to kill Satan if it did anything to harm the children, claiming that using them as vessels was the only thing preventing him from attacking and killing Satan right then and there. Satan continues to use the children as leverage against Angel Dust, claiming that there is nothing Angel Dust can do to harm it without harming them as well. Satan says that Angel Dust much listen, or else the children would be killed. Angel Dust angrily composes himself and listens to what Satan has to say.

It is here that Satan proposes to Angel Dust a way that he could exact revenge on those who have wronged him in the past. Attempting to appeal to Angel Dust's emotions, Satan claims that Angel Dust is not so different from itself, claiming that the both of them were both "thrown into Purgatory" by angels and "forgotten". Satan then specifically says that it could give Angel Dust a way to exact revenge on Valentino, and give him a way to make the moth demon suffer for all the abuse and torture he put Angel Dust through. Angel Dust initially scoffs at Satan's offer, believing that Satan doesn't have the power to kill Valentino, before screaming at Satan to leave him and the children alone. Ignoring Angel Dust's pleas, Satan begins to manipulate Angel Dust emotionally by reminding him of Valentino murdering Fat Nuggets, which leaves the spider demon enraged and in tears. Satan gives Angel Dust the chance to serve it in its goals in exchange for immense power and the safety of the seven angels. After much contemplation, Angel Dust bitterly accepts Satan's offer, if only to keep the seven angels safe. However, before any final deal is made, Angel Dust tells Satan that he wants to see the children safe and okay. Laughing mockingly, Satan ensures that Angel Dust wouldn't back out of the deal, before finally vanishing from the angels' minds and leaving. Once Satan leaves, the angels fall to the ground, exhausted, confused, and scared. Angel Dust comforts the terrified children and informs them of what had happened, assuring them that they are safe with him. Angel Dust then asks Amelia had happened to Vaggie, but she is unable to remember, and neither do the other angels. Now reinvigorated after the encounter with Satan, Angel Dust meets back up with Cherri Bomb and Husk, informing them that they must find Fergus and Charlie.

In "I Remember You", Angel Dust, Fergus, Cherri Bomb, and the seven angels leave the underground city and set off to find Fergus, traveling to the planet he has based himself in. Shortly after arriving, the gang quickly find out that the area is littered with booby-traps laid by Fergus himself. While searching for him across the treacherous land, the gang are attacked by none other than Manco's undead counterparts, who descend from the sky, still under the influence of Satan. They immediately run away, with Angel Dust using his machine gun, and Cherri Bomb using explosives to fend them off. The gang hide inside of a giant, decaying warehouse, but one trap snags Angel Dust's foot, causing him to dangle from the ceiling upside down. The noise attracts Manco's counterparts, forcing Angel Dust to fight them off with his machine gun while James and Arthur got him down. Once down, one of Manco's counterparts attacked Husk as he tried to help Angel Dust up, biting him on the wrist. Before Husk could be killed, Fergus arrived and decapitated the possessed Manco with a sword sprung from his robot arm, one of the many enhancements he had given his artificial arm during the timeskip. The gang then fled to a safety bunker after fighting their way through the hoard.

Once safe, Fergus restrained Cherri Bomb, forces the seven angels to line up against the wall, and knocked Husk and Angel Dust to the ground, believing them all to be hallucinations haunting him for his past. But, after Cherri Bomb broke free and struck Fergus in the head with a lead pipe, he realized that they were truly real, for which he was happily surprised by. He enthusiastically hugged them all, as they were surprised after seeing Fergus in his different state. Fergus then guided them through an underground tunnel with a lantern, all while talking non-stop about many escapades during the eight years. The underground system eventually leads them to Fergus' home. Once inside, Fergus lets the seven angels play with dangerous equipment in his home, while he cooked himself, Angel Dust, Husk, and Cherri Bomb a stew while using the numerous enhancements of his arm to cook the ingredients in order to show off.

As they sat down for "dinner", Angel Dust awkwardly asked Fergus how he was going, to which Fergus claimed that he was fine. Fergus then asked about what they were up to, which Husk reveals that they came to get his help with reuniting the Happy Hotel crew. This results in the conversation taking a grim turn, with Fergus nearly breaking down and rejecting the idea, not wanting to be given any hope of there being a way to escape Purgatory. Angel Dust and Cherri Bomb tried to comfort Fergus, but he continued his denial by claiming that his new life in Purgatory was not that bad, but the trio see through his lies. Angel Dust, understanding the struggle Fergus was going through, reminded his friend of how Fergus helped him through his own struggles, reminding him of when Fergus picked Angel Dust up emotionally after Valentino killed Fat Nuggets. This, coupled with Fergus potentially being given the chance to prove himself to Charlie after abandoning her and the crew, causes Fergus to change his mind.

At that moment, Baxter appeared on Fergus' nearby laptop screen, greeting him and happily greeting Angel Dust, Cherri Bomb, and Husk upon noticing them. Fergus told Baxter to bring his ship to Fergus' home, as they were going to try to get Baxter's teleporter working again, and when Baxter reminded Fergus that they would need Celumite to power it, Fergus said that would not be a problem. Baxter reports that once the Celumite is delivered to him, the bridge should be constructed within 10-30 days, much to Fergus and the others' dismay. Baxter then eagerly signs off and sets off to go to Fergus' planet.

After Baxter's transmission ends, Christopher points to Fergus' surveillance camera, showing that the undead Mancos are tunneling their way into his home through the ceiling and walls. Fergus shouted that he had a plan if this ever happened, before converting his robot arm into a laser gun and running down a hallway, with Angel Dust and his crew following him. The gang fight their way through the hoard, leading them outside of Fergus' home. When Angel Dust asked Fergus that they should do now, Fergus shouted that they simply fight and wait for Baxter to show up. The four proceeded to battle the undead Mancos, with Fergus and Angel Dust using their respective guns, Cherri Bomb using her explosives and missile launchers, and Husk using detonators to set off Fergus' various traps. As the explosions in the area escalated, the cliffside the gang were on lurched downward, causing the undead Mancos to fly towards the team. To prevent being killed by the zombies, Fergus and the others had no choice but to dive off the cliff, with the zombie Mancos promptly following them down. While freefalling, Fergus asked Angel Dust what the plan was, to which the spider demon, in a befuddled manner, said he thought Fergus was leading the plan. Before the gang could fall to their doom, they were suddenly caught by Baxter's ship, which swooped beneath them. They landed on the dorsal fuselage before entering the vessel using a topside hatch, where they were greeted eagerly by Baxter and less eagerly by Crymini. Blasting off of the planet and away from Manco's counterparts, the crew set a course for Charlie and Manco, intending on reuniting with them on the planet they were on.

In "Coven of the Damned", Charlie suffers a nightmare while sleeping in a cave with Manco, Razzle, and Dazzle. In Charlie's nightmare, she finds herself in the middle of the War in Heaven, where she is nearly "attacked" by a group of Lucifer's soldiers, before she finds herself in Satan's domain, once again being forced to watch as Satan kill Adina using Forti as a puppet. Charlie turns away and closes her eyes just as Forti stabs Adina, and when she opens her eyes back up, she finds herself in Forti's place, holding the sword. While dying, Adina weakly blames Charlie for her death In tears, the princess tries to apologize, before she then finds herself in Hell, which is being destroyed by an unseen force. As fire engulfs the Happy Hotel, she sees Vaggie struggling to escape and screaming for her help. Charlie attempts to save her, but is too last at the hotel collapses on Vaggie. As Charlie sees the ones she loves be destroyed, Satan is then heard warning the princess that she would lose everything, presumably out of vengeance for the princess refusing to join it in its goals. Charlie wakes up, panting, and is comforted by Manco, Razzle, and Dazzle.

The next day, Charlie and Manco are captured by the Coven of the Damned, a cult of witches who worship Satan and Lucifer. The cult's leader, the High Priestess, planned to sacrifice Charlie to Satan in hopes that the dark god would "honor" them with its presence, although Charlie and Manco are both saved by Angel Dust, Fergus, Cherri Bomb, and the seven angels, and leave in Baxter's ship in search for Vaggie.

In "Take Us Back", the Happy Hotel crew, after recovering Vaggie and obtaining Celumite after a perilous mission, finally set off to Baxter's laboratory to activate the portal. In retaliation, Satan launches an invasion on Baxter's planet, sending thousands of Manco's reanimated counterparts to stop them, and also sends Vox, Velvet, and Valentino to assist it in stopping the Happy Hotel crew. Baxter forties himself within his laboratory, while Angel Dust, Fergus, Cherri Bomb, and the seven angels (who stowed away with them), travel to Baxter's secondary lab to activate a transmission to give Baxter's portal more power.. While driving to the tower in an armored truck, the team are attacked by Manco's counterparts. Fergus shoots the Mancos off of the truck using a laser gun built into his arm, while Cherri Bomb runs over any who get in their way. After finally making it to Baxter's second lab, the team are confronted by Velvet, but are able to fight her off.

However, Angel Dust's team are given no reprieve, as hundreds of Manco's counterparts descend from the sky and onto the tower, forcing the team to fortify themselves inside as the Mancos attempt to break their way inside. Fergus and Angel Dust attempt to activate the transmission while Cherri Bomb holds the possessed Mancos off, but due to conflicting orders from Baxter, as well as their unfamiliarity with modern technology, this only results in them incompetently pressing random buttons which does nothing effective. However, James presses one button which activates the transmission, much to Fergus and Angel Dust's embarrassment. At that moment, Manco's possessed counterparts break down the door and begin to pour into the laboratory, forcing Angel Dust, Fergus, and Cherri Bomb to engage them in combat. The sheer amount of the Manco army causes the tower to become unstable and slowly shift closer to the side of the cliff. Thinking quickly, Angel Dust's team leaps off the side of the tower just as it falls off the cliff with the Manco zombies inside.

With the Mancos presumably defeated, Angel Dust, Fergus, Cherri Bomb, and the seven angels celebrate the tower's activation. Charlie, Vaggie, and Manco arrive at the scene, relieved to see that Angel's team is okay. Just then, Baxter informs the crew that his portal now has enough energy and has begun charging, causing the team to celebrate joyously as they are finally going home. Fergus, James, and Giulia recover the lab's record player and begin playing music for the crew to enjoy. For the first time in eight year, with Manco playing with the seven angels and Charlie and Vaggie catching up on lost time with each other. Simon, Manco, and Arthur begin playing catch with a rock, but one goes over the edge of a nearby cliff. However, as he looks over the edge, James sees something rising out of the smoke. James' smile turns to a look of horror as he sees the red eyes of Manco's possessed counterparts, who are all climbing and flying up the side of the cliff. James runs back to the crew, alerting them by screaming that the Mancos are back, causing the team to run away as the army pursues them. Fergus yells for Charlie to take the seven angels to Baxter's laboratory while he, Angel Dust, and Cherri Bomb deal with the Manco army.

Choosing to make a run for it, Fergus, Angel, and Cherri Bomb run for it with Manco's counterparts in hot pursuit. The three arrive to a ruined temple complex and split up to hide as the zombies look for them. Failing to find Angel's team, Manco's counterparts simply bide their time, crowding into the complex so they can wait for him to reveal himself. Fergus tries to slip away, but is quickly caught and runs for his life, regrouping with Angel and Cherri as the chase resumes. After Cherri uses her bombs to collapse a ceiling and block the zombies' path, the three eventually arrives at the basement, which is just a desolate field of rocks. Manco's undead variants soon arrive and an intense hunt begins with them eventually closing in on a boulder Angel is hiding under. As their combined attack shatters the boulder Angel was on, he barely avoids the assault and is forced to flee when Cherri and Fergus buy him time.

Fergus and the others lead the Mancos through a narrow valley, where they have many close encounters but are ultimately able to avoid them. The chase comes to a temporary stop when the valley gets too narrow for all of the Mancos to continue due to their massive numbers. As the Mancos violently thrash at the walls and themselves in an attempt to escape and kill the trio, Fergus and the others venture down to a cluster of volcanic geysers that begins erupting shortly after, preventing them from leaving the valley. They attempt to back track as the ground begins to crack beneath them, but are forced to turn back as the reanimated Mancos frees themselves from the narrow wall. The zombies give chase to the trio over the crumbling ground, with some of them falling through and getting burned alive. The Mancos then all leap several feet in the air using their wings to fly, and dive-bomb onto the ground, causing the entire ground around the area to split apart, prompting Fergus and the others to leap onto a protruding rock to avoid falling into the lava. All of the zombies sink into the lava, but re-emerge seconds later, partially melted and standing on top of one another as a giant, sentient tower, and resume their attack. Fergus, Angel Dust, Cherri Bomb are able to make it to the other side of the geyser field to safety, although the zombies are not so lucky and fall back into the lava. The hoard once again re-emerge, all of them screeching in agony as they fruitlessly attempt to escape the lava. As the trio look on somberly, Manco's counterparts begin thrashing around violently as they are soon engulfed in flames. A few moments afterward, they all finally disintegrate into ashes, ending them for good.

A single ember from the zombies lands on Fergus's palm, which quickly extinguishes. Fergus, Angel Dust, and Cherri Bomb are left looking over the geyser field.

In "The Key", the Happy Hotel crew find themselves back in the middle of space, following the VVV Overlords destroying Baxter's portal. The team are reeling over this loss, as their chance to escape Purgatory has once again slipped through their fingers. Charlie tries to encourage the team to not give up, which leads to Fergus lashing out at her, yelling that there is no way out of Purgatory, and that the crew have run out of options. However, Baxter reveals to the team that there may be one more chance. Baxter informs the team that during the eight years they were separated, he frequently used his equipment to scan for other lifeforms across Purgatory. Although he mostly had no luck, there was one location in the outskirts of Purgatory that had signs of life, although Baxter never went to investigate due to that area being particularly treacherous. Although some of the team are unsure about investigating, Niffty says that it is the only option they have left. With their next move decided, Baxter lightspeeds the ship towards the location.

After the ship exits lightspeed, Baxter begins tracking the location, noting how off-the-grid the location was, and that whoever they are tracking must be in hiding. Baxter's tracker leads the team to a partially destroyed settlement floating in the middle of space, and the team exit the ship to go inside. Inside, the team finds no one, and Fergus points out the tapestries on the wall depicting cherubs and imagery of Heaven. Baxter hypothesizes that whoever he had heard in the transmissions must have left. Just then, the team were immediately ambushed by a cloaked figure. The figure sends the team flying back with a golden shockwave, and then immediately starts firing at them with a golden crossbow they had conjured from magic. Cherri Bomb launches a missile at the cloaked figure from behind cover, but is pinned to the ground by telekinesis in retaliation. Angel Dust and Vaggie attempted to attack the mysterious figure with a machine gun and angelic spear respectively, but the figure swiftly subdued them using magical bolas. Fergus shifted his robotic arm into a blaster, and fired at the figure, only for them to suspend Fergus in the air, surrounded by a golden energy field, leading to a stand-off with the remaining members of the team.

The figure threatened to kill Fergus if the team continued fighting. The figure then asked the crew what master they served, believing them to have been sent by Satan or Lucifer. Charlie tried to calm down the figure by telling them they were only seeking a way out of Purgatory, at which the figure recognized Charlie and released Fergus, Cherri Bomb, Angel Dust, and Vaggie. Agitated by the abrupt attack, Husk angrily asked the figure who they were, at which the figure then removed their cloak, revealing themselves to be a cherub by the name of Oswald. Stunned by this revelation, Charlie asks Oswald why he is in Purgatory, and a clearly traumatized Oswald reveals that billions of years ago, he and nine other cherubs were tasked with guarding the inside of Purgatory to prevent Satan and its army from escaping. Through the following centuries, Oswald's entire team was slowly killed by Satan and its forces during their attempts to guard the seven seals and walls of Purgatory. With his entire team dead, Oswald was forced to hide inside of the cherubs' ruined headquarters, living in constant fear and paranoia that Satan's allies would find and kill him.

Oswald angrily says that Heaven was supposed to protect him and his allies, and says that their portal to Heaven was destroyed over the years, leaving them all unable to escape back to Heaven. Oswald somberly says that only Heaven's Light could restore the portal, to which Charlie takes out Heaven's Light and presents it to Oswald. Brought to tears by the sight of it, Oswald begged Charlie to let him hold it, which Charlie allows. Cradling Heaven's Light, Oswald says that his time to return home has come. Grateful towards the crew, Oswald allows them to use the portal to return home once the portal has been restored by Heaven's Light. Oswald then placed Heaven's Light near the destroyed portal, which then began reconstructing itself.

As the portal was being magically rebuilt, the crew takes the time to lounge and reflect on their time in Purgatory. During this, Charlie asks Oswald how he managed to survive for a billion years, to which Oswald says that he held onto hope, even in the darkest of times. As the portal was halfway finished, Oswald declared to her that the seven angels and Manco will come with him to Heaven so they may be safely returned home, leaving Charlie heartbroken that the next few hours could be the last she spends with Manco, who she grew greatly attached to during their time in Purgatory. With this revelation, Charlie spends the next hours with Manco, reflecting on their time together. As Oswald announced that the portal was almost completed, Charlie gives Manco a fond goodbye. Manco asked her if he would ever see her to again, and she replied that she was not sure. Manco sadly said that he wanted to stay with her, but she says that he would be safer in Heaven than anywhere else. Saddened, Manco gave the princess a tight hug and thanked her for keeping him safe throughout the years, to which Charlie smiled warmly and hugged him back, a tear falling down her face.

The crew then crowded around the portal as it neared completion. Baxter and Crymini left the crew to retrieve their spaceship so they could take it home as well. The Happy Hotel crew exchange goodbyes with the seven angels and Manco, with Angel Dust hoping to see them once more if Charlie's redemption plan succeeds. However, just before the portal could reassemble, a giant, yellow beam of energy crashes through the cherubs' headquarters and destroys the portal, sending the team flying back and sending Heaven's Light underneath a shelf. As the crew recovered from the explosion, they are suddenly greeted by the arrival of Lucifer and Satan, their first confrontation with them since the eight year timeskip. Charlie yelled for Manco and the seven angels to hide away in Baxter's ship, and they did as they were told, although Manco had to be dragged away by the other children.

As he descended upon them, Lucifer mockingly told the crew that their stay in Purgatory had been extended. Fergus, Cherri Bomb, Vaggie, and Angel Dust immediately attempted to attack Lucifer with their respective weapons, but Lucifer seized them, as well as Niffty and Husk, with telekinesis, and sent the entire crew (sans Charlie) flying out of Oswald's headquarters and into space. After dealing with the crew, Lucifer took notice of Oswald himself, amused by the fact that he had managed to survive all this time. Deciding to remedy this, Lucifer snapped his fingers, which causes Oswald to begin convulsing violently while screaming in agony. Oswald then finally vanished from existence in a blinding flash of light while Charlie stared on in horror. Immediately after Oswald's demise, Satan captured Charlie in a fiery tractor-like beam of magic, telling the princess that neither she nor her allies would escape. Charlie asked why Satan didn't just kill her, to which the Devil responded that it had more in store for the princess than simply killing her.

Meanwhile, the rest of the Happy Hotel crew are rescued by Baxter while falling through space. After they enter his ship, Fergus urgently shouted to Baxter to return to Oswald's headquarters. Before Baxter's ship could make it to the headquarters, Lucifer used his powers to destroy what was left of the settlement, and flew off into deep space along with Satan, who had taken Charlie against her will. The crew can do nothing but stare helplessly as Satan and Lucifer vanished into the distance with the princess.

In the penultimate episode "We Can Be Heroes", the Happy Hotel crew are planning their perilous rescue mission to save Charlie. Baxter states that Charlie was most likely taken to Satan's domain in a black hole, and they will need all the help they can get. While Baxter retreats to his quarters to create some late-minute inventions for the rescue mission, Vaggie tells the crew that they have to find Forti and enlist his help, saying he is the only one capable of fighting Lucifer and Satan head-on. The only problem is that no one knows the whereabouts of Forti, who has gone into hiding without a trace after being poisoned by Satan. To the crew's luck, Death suddenly appears from space and enters the ship, bringing news that the crew must find Forti. After maliciously teasing the crew, Death transports the crew's ship to Forti's location, that being a floating settlement floating in the middle of space. Before they leave to confront Forti, Vaggie viciously asks Death why he is helping them, and Death responds by telling the crew to not mistake his offer for benevolence, claiming he is only helping them because if Forti becomes corrupted, Satan and Lucifer's victory will be ensured, meaning nearly all life in the Universe will die and their souls will belong to Lucifer rather than Death himself.

Meanwhile, Lucifer and Satan arrive at the latter's domain, where the Devil restrains Charlie to the ground using an oil-like substance that begins to bond into her skin. Charlie begins struggling violently, shouting at Satan to let her go. Lucifer uses telekinesis to hold Charlie in place, before saying that Charlie is about to become the "daughter [he] always he wanted".

Vaggie, Angel Dust, and Fergus exit the ship to go confront Forti, who they eventually find floating in a fetal position with his wings wrapped around his body, with several rays of holy light cast on him. While the trio begins debating whether or not they should wake the archangel up, they are suddenly hit with a yellow beam and brought inside of Forti's mind, where they find that Forti's mind is clouded in darkness, and infested with numerous insane versions of himself running around. After searching around the infinite unknown of Forti's mind, the trio finally finds the true Forti, who begins guiding the trio to the center of his mind.

After Forti leads the trio to the center of his mind, Vaggie asks Forti to assist them in stopping Lucifer and Satan. At first, Forti refuses to help them due to his resentment towards himself for, in his mind, causing Adina's death, but when Angel Dust tells him that Charlie is in grave danger, Forti changes her mind. Forti says that to save Charlie, he must dig up a past he swore would stay buried. Vaggie tells Forti that what happened in the past doesn't matter, and no one blames him for Adina's death. Forti descends town and walks into a nearby cathedral, where he approaches a large casket-like box. Forti then removes the top of the casket, revealing his legendary sword, Excalibur. After much hesitation, Forti reclaims his decayed sword and says that it must be reignited. When Angel Dust says how that can be done, Forti assures them to not worry about it, before using the sword to sever his infected arm, much to the disgust of Angel Dust and Vaggie. With his poison's effects being decelerated, Forti declares that they must save Charlie.

Meanwhile, Satan tells Lucifer that the bonding process is going successfully, but Charlie still needs one more "push" before she can be fully corrupted. Lucifer begins to think, and then says that the princess must harm a pure soul for the process to be completed. The two mutually agree that Manco will be the pure soul they need to corrupt her. Satan then orders its minions to bring Manco to them so that they can have the princess kill him. Charlie becomes very distressed and protests against this, yelling at the two to leave Manco alone. She tells them that they can do whatever they want to her only if they don't hurt Manco, but Lucifer responds that they won't hurt Manco at all, but Charlie will, before laughing evilly. Lucifer's gloating is then cut off when Baxter's spaceship explosively enters Satan's domain, blasting rock music while unleashing a hail of projectile attacks upon Lucifer and Satan, who remain unaffected by the assault. Angel Dust shouts that they have arrived to save Charlie and orders Satan and Lucifer to give her back, which brings the princess to tears. Unconcerned by the crew's arrival, Satan orders its minions to kill the crew, before elevating the platform Charlie is on to form a massive tower, preventing the crew from reaching her. Inside of Baxter's ship, Baxter describes the plan; save Charlie and escape Satan's domain. With that, the Happy Hotel crew (sans Crymini, the seven angels, and Manco, who are staying inside the ship), jump from the ship to battle the Army of Darkness, armed with futuristic weaponry given to them by Baxter.

While the crew continues battling the Army of Darkness, Crymini attempts to use the ship to reach Charlie, but Satan's creations prevent her from reaching Charlie. Initially, the Happy Hotel crew, using their combined intelligence, teamwork, and power, prove to be a considerable threat to Satan and Lucifer's army, with Baxter deploying a legion of his robot minions to deal with Satan's army. However, Lucifer laughs off the crew's efforts as he personally enters the battle. Lucifer uses his magic to transmutate Baxter's robots into a swarm of violent snakes that then proceeded to attack Baxter, Husk, and Niffty, forcing them to flee. When Vaggie hurled her angelic spear at Lucifer, the King of Hell casually caught the weapon using telekinesis, before using his telekinetic powers to bury Vaggie in a mound of rocks which begin to slowly suffocate her. Angel Dust and Cherri Bomb attempted to use their respective weapons to attack Lucifer, but the King of Hell casually uses his powers to melt Angel Dust's Thommy gun, and cause Cherri Bomb's explosives to detonate in her face, rendering her unconscious and injured. Concerned, Angel Dust frantically ran to his friend's side to check her status. Lucifer attempted to kill Angel Dust while the spider demon's back was turned, but was then suddenly struck in the back with a hail of blasts. Lucifer turned his back to see Fergus was the attacker. Lucifer was overjoyed at seeing Fergus again, laughing over how he thought he would never see his former servant again, before mocking calling him by his true name, "Koatal". Fergus, using his robot arm as a blaster, attempted to kill Lucifer, but the King of Hell was unfazed by the attack and lifted Fergus in the air telekinetically. Lucifer mockingly told Fergus that he was going to need more robotic limbs, before proceeding to slowly rip all of Fergus' limbs from his body.

However, before Fergus could be torn apart, Lucifer was suddenly blasted into a wall by a yellow beam of energy, freeing Fergus and Vaggie. Lucifer quickly recovered from the attack and, much to the surprise of himself and Satan, saw Forti flying in the air, the damaged Excalibur in his hands. The archangel then confronted Satan, proclaiming to Satan that he has been waiting for this final confrontation. Forti declares that although Satan can hide behind its minions, it will still not stop him from ending its existence once and for all. The archangel then used his powers to create a small, purple portal in front of himself, which he then dips the entire blade of his sword into. Forti then shouted at the seven angels, signaling them to use their powers. With some reluctance, the children muster up all of their powers to blast a beam of energy at Forti's portal, which turns the portal yellow and purifies it. As lightning begins to shoot from the portal, Forti finally pulls Excalibur from the portal, showing that the blade has been reignited. Forti then summons Heaven's Light to his hands, and merges it into his sword, further empowering the legendary weapon. With his sword reignited, Forti shouted that Satan's existence was about to be extinguished, before shouting for the Devil to prepare for its death. Satan angrily shouted back that Forti would scream as he died, just as his fallen brothers did before him. Enraged, Satan uses its immense powers to possess the minds of thousands of eldritch creatures all across Purgatory, and summons them to its lair to attack Forti.

Despite Satan's efforts, Forti uses his sword to effortlessly destroy the possessed forces of Purgatory. When Satan summoned an army of colossal creatures to deal with Forti, the archangel charged his legendary blade with an immense amount of energy as the monsters charged in his direction. When the blade was fully charged, Forti directed the immensely powerful projectile blast at Satan's entire army, vaporizing a planet-sized monster leading the charge. The tremendous release of energy from the collision converted the mass of Forti's projectile attack into a column of super-heated plasma that shredded and vaporized the rest of Satan's army instantaneously. The plasma remnants of Forti's blast continued forward at lightspeed, cracking open the walls of Satan's domain as Satan and Lucifer themselves looked upon the attack, the latter bewildered at the display of power. Satan ordered Lucifer to confront Forti while it stayed to keep Charlie confined. Thrilled at the prospect of a real fight after centuries of non-action, Lucifer tossed his hat and coat aside, and proceeded to transformed his sword into an angelic blade, leaving to engage Forti in battle.

Lucifer and Forti then engaged each other in an intense fight, while the Army of Darkness fought to keep the Happy Hotel crew from reaching Charlie. As both battles escalated, the situation grew grim as the Happy Hotel crew began finding themselves weakened from Lucifer's previous attack, and being overwhelmed by the innumerable enemy army. Although Forti is able to keep Lucifer on the ropes, he slowly begins to become weakened by Satan's poisoning begins to take effect once more. This allows Lucifer to keep the battle under his control, and at one point injure Forti by cutting one of the head archangel's wings off. Although Lucifer himself sustained damage and injuries while fighting Forti, it was clear that Forti had sustained significantly more damage than Lucifer had. Seeing Forti's power slipping fast now, Lucifer decided to call off the fight, claiming it would be pointless to continue, as the head archangel could barely stand as Satan's poison began to cripple him and spread throughout his body, and Lucifer didn't want to further damage "Satan's new toy". Lucifer mockingly said goodbye to Forti and left the archangel to be corrupted. Forti attempted to continue the fight, but fell to his knees, unable to even lift his sword.

Confident that Forti was dealt with, Lucifer set his attention on Manco, who was still inside of Baxter's ship with Crymini and the seven angels. Lucifer ordered seven creatures from the Army of Darkness to capture Manco, which they attempted to do, although they failed as Crymini used the spaceship's afterburn to scorch them to ashes. However, Lucifer uses his telekinesis to catch Baxter's ship and violently capsize it, sending Manco and the seven angels falling from the ship and to the ground. Manco attempted to run on the orders of Vaggie, but Lucifer used his magic to manipulate the ground below Manco and create a cage of stone pillars that trapped the young angel. Lucifer then approached Manco and grabbed the child by the back of his neck, handing the struggling angel to a bird-like demon, who Lucifer then ordered to deliver Manco to Satan. The bird-like creature left with Manco struggling in its talons. Lucifer followed the bird as it flew up Charlie's platform and to Satan. Manco was then dropped in front of Charlie, much to her horror. Manco ran to the princess in an attempt to free her from the oil substance, but Satan suddenly appeared in front of Manco and Charlie, which sent a terrified Manco falling to the ground in a fit of terror. Reveling in Manco's terror, the Devil proceeded to cruelly mock Manco for his fear.

Meanwhile, the Happy Hotel, having witnessed Manco being captured, begin to doubt that they can save Charlie. Amelia shouts that they can't let Manco die, to which Fergus says they won't. Fergus told the rest of the crew to hold off Satan's forces while he went off to climb the tower and save Charlie himself. As Fergus walked towards the tower, Angel Dust told Fergus that he doesn't know what is up there, to which Fergus declared that Charlie was. Lightly pushing Angel Dust out of his way, a determined Fergus declared that he was going to finish what he started once and for all, beginning his ascent up the massive tower as the crew stayed down in an attempt to fight off what remained of Satan's forces.

Unfortunately, the Happy Hotel crew are unable to continue fighting Satan's massive army and are soon completely overwhelmed. The Army of Darkness overpowered and restrained Vaggie, Niffty, Husk, Angel Dust, and Cherri Bomb, pinning them to the ground. Seizing the opportunity, Satan sent five red wisps of energy towards the restrained crew members. The seven angels attempted to free the crew, but they are drained of energy after helping Forti reignite Excalibur. As Satan's wisps neared closer to them, Angel Dust and Vaggie shout at the angels to leave and that it was too late to save them. Megara and Arthur continued trying to get past the Army of Darkness, and had to be dragged away by the other children as the wisps entered the eyes of the crew members, resulting in them being possessed by Satan, to the horror of the seven angels. Vaggie, Niffty, Angel Dust, Husk, and Cherri Bomb then rose and were summoned to the top of the tower with Satan, Lucifer, Charlie, and Manco. Manco and Charlie were horrified to see their friends under Satan's influence. Speaking through Vaggie and the others, Satan threatened Charlie and Manco by saying that one by one, all of their allies would slowly fall to its possession.

At the bottom of the tower, the seven angels are pursued by the Army of Darkness, where they are eventually found by Baxter, who was still being pursued by the demonic snakes Lucifer had sent after him. Baxter told the children to come with him, telling Crymini through an earpiece to land the spaceship so that they could board it. Crymini shouted over the earpiece that the ship was about to land, but not in the way Baxter intended. Immediately afterward, Baxter's ship crashed down beside him and the children, revealing it to be under siege by a flock of winged creatures. Unfazed by this, Baxter then instructed the children to hide inside the ship. While entering the ship, Baxter and the kids were forced to escape from several demonic, winged creatures that followed them inside. As Baxter and the kids entered the ship's command center, Baxter desperately tried to throw a grenade at a creature, only for the attack to fail as Baxter forget to press the detonator, causing him to wonder how Cherri Bomb could do it with her own bombs.

Meanwhile, with seemingly nothing to prevent it from doing so, Satan prepared to corrupt Charlie's soul as the possessed Happy Hotel crew members stood by. Satan takes the time to tell Charlie that Lucifer was correct about her being strong, before expressing disappointment in how she was unable to prevent Satan from entering her mind. Satan claims that it tried to help Charlie see the truth and to show her was true power was, claiming that she was too blind to see the truth, and that her soul must be cleansed. Using more of the oil substance, Satan restrained Manco, holding the angel in place in front of the Princess of Hell, ordering the princess to kill him and complete her transformation. As Manco began crying, Charlie comforted him by saying that she would not let anything happen to him. In response, Satan told Charlie to not give Manco any false hope and to let him die bravely. Refusing to kill Manco, Charlie defiantly told the Devil that it would never be able to control her, even if it did enter her mind. Amused by the princess' defiance, Satan chuckled lightly and proclaimed that Charlie was its own, just as its magical wisps poured into her eyes, beginning the corruption process as Satan planned to force her to kill Manco itself.

Charlie then finds herself subconsciously falling through her own inner soul, a place of both light and darkness. Charlie then heard Satan's voice telling her to stop fighting, but she continues struggling and resisting. Satan began to show her fabricated visions of herself as the Queen of Hell, subjecting the denizens of Hell to her rule and finally gaining Lucifer's favor and love. Charlie struggled to turn away from the visions, begging Satan to stop. Satan told Charlie that although it would not allow her to control her actions at first, it could gradually give her more control if she proved her loyalty. As Charlie continued struggling, Satan angrily ordered Charlie to kill Manco, destroy Heaven, and let the entire Universe die. As she continues trying to resist, she finally reaches the end of her descent, and sees that darkness is overwhelming the light of her spirit. Satan declares that her will is shattered. Satan taunts the princess by mocking her guilt by saying that Adina would still be alive if it not for Charlie's decision to confront it within its lair. Charlie admits that she is scared that there is no way to escape Purgatory without losing her friends. She then breaks down emotionally, falling to her knees, crying as she doesn't know how to deal with all of the pain and stress. Satan tells the princess that her will to keep fighting is strong, as she fought to escape Purgatory for eight years. Satan claims that although Charlie is not a hero, she *is* what she was originally born to be; a ruler. After this, the princess raises her head back up, revealing her eyes to be a bright red color. With Charlie seemingly under its control, the Devil declared that the Princess of Hellnow belonged to it.

Outside of Charlie's soul, Fergus finally reaches the top of the tower after a perilous climb, where he finds Satan and Lucifer looking at Charlie and Manco, all of them surrounded by the motionless, possessed members of the Happy Hotel crew. Fergus converted his arm into a blaster and aimed it at Lucifer, shouting at Charlie to run away, unaware that she could barely hear him. Alerted to Fergus' presence, Lucifer turned to her former servant, acknowledging how "fitting" it was that Fergus would be the one to witness Lucifer's "moment of triumph". Satan, referring to Fergus by his original name "Koatal", mocked him by declaring that Charlie now belonged to Lucifer and itself, and Fergus had lost her the instant he left Charlie and the Happy Hotel after Adina's death eight years ago. Realizing the situation, Fergus begins begging Charlie to resist and fight back, but (on the surface) she appears to ignore him. Satan cruelly disparages Fergus by saying that no matter how much effort he puts into atoning for his sins, such as assisting Lucifer in the War of Heaven, he will never be forgiven and will always be seen as a monster. Fergus continues trying to reach through Charlie, getting personal by telling Charlie that she gave him purpose when they first met, and even though he left her and the others, admits that he would not be alive without her. Despite Fergus' attempts, Charlie still shows no signs of listening and remains motionless, taking on a more demonic form. As Fergus fell to his knees, Lucifer approached him and told Fergus that he couldn't save anyone, although he personally found Fergus' attempts amusing. Looking down at his robotic arm and being reminded of his past, Fergus tells Charlie that Lucifer ruined him, and begged Charlie to not let Lucifer ruin her as well.

Back in Charlie's inner spirit, Charlie finds herself in a fetal position as her childhood self, but is suddenly comforted by a vision of her mother, Lilith, who reminds her daughter of the good she has done, the allies she has made, and that she isn't alone. Lilith shows Charlie a fortress made by the blessing of everyone she has saved and the many allies she has made on her journey. In a parallel to her fireworks display in the first episode, Charlie climbs a fleet of stairs and fires the heart-shaped display of fireworks into the sky, creating a tower of light that purges the corrupted within her soul.

On the outside, Charlie reawakens in a flash of holy light that disperses the oil substance around her and Manco, and frees the Happy Hotel crew from Satan's influence. Forti sees the event from below the tower, expressing glee in Charlie fighting off the evil within. Satan and Lucifer are bewildered at Charlie freeing herself, with Lucifer questioning Satan directly. Enraged as Charlie proclaims that Satan would never corrupt her, Satan used a fiery tractor beam to grab Manco and lift the angel towards its face. Manco shouted that it wasn't afraid of Satan, to which Satan replies that Manco's counterparts had told it the same thing before they died screaming in fear, and that Manco would soon join them, before angrily hurling the child off the side of the tower and into the darkness below, much to the horror of the crew. Instinctively, Charlie jumped from the tower as well, grabbing Manco as she reached him and holding him close to her, comforting him that no what happened, she wouldn't let him go. Just before Charlie and Manco disappear into the darkness, Charlie, without even knowing, suddenly sprouts angel wings that fly herself and Manco out of the darkness and back to the tower. As Lucifer and the Happy Hotel crew are shocked at Charlie's apparent ability, Manco points Charlie's wings out to her, and she reacts with elation at her angelic wings, which she seemingly inherited from her father.

Deciding once and for all that Charlie must die, Satan summons a portal above the power that rains down hundreds of creatures to kill Charlie and the crew. Although the crew prepares for yet another fight, the entire army is crushed by black tentacles that emerge from the portal. As everyone stands in confusion, Alastor emerges from the portal, mockingly greeting Satan and Lucifer. Enraged at Alastor's deceit, Satan summons the Army of Darkness to fight him. Alastor decides to hold the army off using his voodoo magic, while Charlie and the others escape in Baxter's spaceship. Charlie flies off with Manco as the crew descends from the tower.

Back in Baxter's ship, Baxter, Crymini, and the seven angels have barricaded themselves in the command center as the Army of Darkness begins attempting to tear down the door. Baxter and the kids, believing it to be their final moments, openly admitted several of their secrets. Baxter confessed that he never actually finished building his "turd museum", much to the childrens' disgust. As the door was finally being broken down, Baxter and the others prepared for their deaths, only to be greeted by the rest of the Happy Hotel crew, who fought through the army while entering the ship. Alastor soon teleported within the ship as well, which scares the seven angels and Manco. Crymini activated Baxter's spaceship, although she does not know where to go, and Satan's army has regrouped with Lucifer to prevent their escape. As Lucifer mocked the crew on how they had no means of escape, Forti suddenly rose, his eyes faintly glowing a red color. Abruptly, Forti apologizes to Charlie for neglecting to tell her about Limbo's trails. Charlie is slightly amused by this, questioning why Forti is apologizing for something that happened long in the past. Forti confesses to her that he is not coming back from what he is about to do. Realizing what Forti means, Charlie begs him to not give up, but the archangel ignores her pleas. Forti then pulled Heaven's Light from his sword, saying that although he failed to save the Universe himself, Charlie can still save it, before saying his final goodbyes to Charlie and sending Heaven's Light back in her hands. Forti then used his sword to cut a hole in space just as he previously did billions of years ago, creating a portal leading to Hell, and shouted at the crew to go through it. As the crew's ship sped in the portal's direction, Satan, seeing an opportunity to escape Purgatory, left its perch on the tower and flew towards the portal at full speed.

Reacting quickly, Forti flew to the side of the portal and unleashed a stream of angelic energy from his wings, and sent the attack in Satan's direction. Using the last of his decaying energy, Forti sent another energy blast from his sword that conjoined itself with the secondary blast. The stream of energy sped past Baxter's ship and struck Satan, slowing it down significantly. After an incredibly intense race, the Happy Hotel crew finally escapes Purgatory by flying the ship through Forti's portal at high speeds, which then closes and explodes just before Satan could reach it.

Pleased with the crew's escape, Forti was left to confront Satan, Lucifer, and its army. Satan proclaimed that it did not matter if the portal had closed, as Forti was seconds away from being fully corrupted, and it would merely have him open the portal again for Satan and its army. Forti, knowing the certain doom the Universe would endure with him under Satan's control, slowly raised his sword and roared that Satan would not take him, before he committed suicide by impaling himself with Excalibur, much to Satan's anger. Forti then broke his blade in half while it was still embedded in his abdomen, permanently destroying the legendary weapon. The Devil only remarked its disappointment in Forti, claiming he would have been an effective and useful "weapon", to which the archangel merely responded with a tiny smirk and a faint laugh. Satan then angrily sent Forti flying off a cliffside and into the darkness of its dimension, leaving the archangel to die in total darkness. The wounded archangel then settled himself as he whispered his final words; "Hold onto the light, Charlotte, and never let go". Forti then lowered his head, the inner glow around him slowly fading as he succumbs to his wounds, ending the legend of the archangel who saved the Universe. As Forti perished, Satan's poisoning dissipated from his corpse.

Satan was far from pleased with the results of the battle that had transpired. Not only was it robbed of three extremely powerful servants and still burdened with the unruly Lucifer, but the Happy Hotel crew had escaped Purgatory with Heaven's Light. On the other hand, Lucifer was surprisingly pleased with the outcome and looked more into the positive outcomes of the battle, telling the Devil that their greatest enemy, Forti, was now dead, and thanks to Charlie's actions, Lucifer and Satan finally knew who all their enemies were and Lucifer vowed to hunt down and crush them, as his Master intended long ago.

In the Season 3 finale "Despite Everything, It's Still You", Charlie and the Happy Hotel crew, now accompanied by Baxter, Crymini, the seven angels, and Manco, finally return to the Hazbin Hotel, excited to finally see it again. Angel Dust is so elated that he starts kissing the hotel ground, and Husk drinks all of the alcohol at the bar as Alastor watches in amusement. The seven angels question where they and Manco are going to stay, and Charlie says that they can stay at the hotel until she finds a way to return them to Heaven. A few hours after settling down, Charlie calls everything to the living room, where she gives an emotional speech, saying that although they went through a lot of pain and trauma in Purgatory, they can still get through it together and come out stronger than ever, reiterating Fergus' words he had said to her in Purgatory. As everyone leaves, Charlie stops Fergus in a hall and assures him that she heard everything he said to her back in Purgatory, which brings a smile to his face.

Later that night, Charlie introduces the angel children to their rooms and tells them all a bedtime story about a family of birds who become lost from their home and travel across the entire world to return to their nest (an obvious reflection of the Happy Hotel crew's journey through Purgatory). As the angels lay down for bed, Manco flies over to Charlie, wrapping his arms around her, and whispers that he loves her. Charlie hugs Manco back, saying that she loves him as well. The princess then exits the room, leaving them to sleep with Heaven's Light acting as their night light.

Charlie exits the Hazbin Hotel with Vaggie, where she finds Fergus, Cherri Bomb, and Angel Dust loading equipment into Baxter's repaired ship. When Charlie inquires on what the three are doing, Fergus reveals to Charlie that they are setting out with Baxter and Crymini to assemble a "universe protection squad" against Lucifer, Satan, and their forces, going on a mission to assemble an army from across all the seven rings of Hell. Charlie sheepishly tries to convince them to not do this, but Fergus declares that their mind is already made. With Baxter and Crymini ready to leave, Fergus told Charlie that they will see each other soon. Charlie and Fergus then shake hands as Fergus thanks her, which leads to him leaning in and hugging Charlie, to her confusion. Realizing what he was doing, Fergus quickly stopped and ambiguously clarified that the "thank you" was for what Charlie has done for Hell, and awkwardly proceeded to board the ship. With everyone boarded, Baxter, Crymini, Fergus, Angel Dust, and Cherri Bomb fly off into the distance. Angel Dust goes to his quarters to get some sleep, until he is suddenly greeted with Satan telepathically speaking to him. The Devil tells Angel Dust to remember their deal. As this happens, Angel Dust sees a vision of Satan's face outside the ship, causing him to feel immense uncertainty for what the future lies ahead, or what his choice will be.

### Season 4

In "It's Never Too Late", Alone in the sacred chamber, the Divine conducts a solitary sermon, her devout gaze fixed upon the statue representing Satan. Upon concluding her prayer, she prepares to depart when an unexpected resonance emanates from the statue itself. The voice of Satan reverberates, stunning the Divine, who kneels in awe and begins weeping softly as the Dark Lord laments the failures and desertions of its former disciples. In this moment, Satan inquires if the Divine could be the apprentice it has long sought, the one to lead its campaign to triumph. In a fervent pledge of loyalty and determination, the Divine swears unwavering allegiance, offering her own life and the lives of her coven should they fall short. Touched by her sincerity, Satan expresses its trust in her, addressing the Divine by her true name, "Emily."

### Season 5

In "My Brotha Arackniss", the Divine communicates with Satan from the realm of Purgatory, expressing her intent to embark on a mission to liberate him from his confinement. Satan, in a stern manner, warns the Divine not to cause remorse for selecting her as his champion. The Divine reassures her god, affirming her unwavering dedication and promising not to falter or betray like previous followers. Satan instructs the Divine to assemble the necessary components for a ritual to enter Purgatory, and to eliminate any opposition, threatening severe consequences. Failure to comply would result in dire consequences, treating the Divine and the Chosen with little regard and seeking another "pawn" to further its agenda.

In "The Family Jewels", Satan reaches out to Angel within the spider's dreams during his imprisonment at Henroin's mansion, revealing its lingering presence within his mind. Angel, resolute and confrontational, vehemently rejects Satan's attempts to ensnare him in servitude, affirming that he will soon find solace in Heaven, free from the Devil's grip. Satan resorts to temptation, showcasing the life of vice and destruction that Angel had turned away from. Most strikingly, it offers to resurrect Angel's beloved pet pig, Fat Nuggets, in exchange for his compliance.

Overwhelmed with emotion, Angel is moved to tears as Satan conjures a fleeting image of Fat Nuggets before him. However, he realizes that any version of Fat Nuggets created by Satan would not be the true companion he lost. Clenching his fist, Angel defiantly declines Satan's enticing offer, chastising the Devil and emphasizing that no imitation of Fat Nuggets could ever replace the genuine bond they shared. Disappointed, Satan expresses its bitterness and vanishes, leaving Angel resolute in his defiance.

In "Moving Day", the Hazbin Hotel made preparations for Angel's journey to ascend to Heaven with Molly. As Angel bid heartfelt goodbyes throughout the day, the entire crowd gathered in the hotel's main room. However, when Lux, upon floating over to Angel to escort them to Heaven, took a closer look, a troubled expression crossed Lux's face. Acting swiftly, Lux separated Molly from Angel using a flashbang attack. When Angel rose, his eyes were ablaze with a fiery red hue, and he spoke with the voice of Satan, who had assumed control of his mind.

Satan's unexpected return shocked everyone. Satan snidely mocked Angel for not listening to its warnings to not seek Heaven, and mocked Charlie for her belief in reforming sinners and vowed that she would pay for spurning its offer to serve. Lux tried to defuse the situation and reason with Satan, reminding them of their previous bond, but it became evident that Satan held a deep grudge against Lux, referring to them as God's "trophy pet." Ignoring Lux's pleas, Satan declared that Angel belonged to it and would never leave.

Without hesitation, Lux forcefully pressed Satan against the wall, striving to expel it from Angel's psyche. However, Satan fiercely retaliated, countering Lux's assault with a draining spell that nearly depleted Lux's strength until Vaggie intervened, causing Lux to fall to the ground in an extremely weakened and catatonic state, prompting Squish to safely cradle Lux. Anarchy ensued within the hotel as the Divine and her followers materialized within its walls. Vaggie and Fergus armed themselves and confronted the devil worshippers, while Charlie, determined not to let Satan escape with Angel, pursued the malevolent entity.

Satan, morphing Angel into his Full Demon Form, turned him against Charlie, igniting a battle in the corridors of the hotel. Charlie attempted to employ her powers to immobilize Satan, but the Devil's might overwhelmed her, allowing Satan to hastily flee the scene by blowing a massive hole through the hotel’s walls, leaving chaos and confusion in its wake.

In a crucial moment before Satan could make off with Angel, Vaggie bravely confronted the malevolent being, wielding her angelic spear. A fierce battle ensued between Satan, Angel, and Vaggie. Amidst the struggle, Vaggie desperately called out to Angel, urging him to resist Satan's influence. A glimmer of hope emerged when Angel seemed to weakly communicate with Vaggie, causing her to momentarily lower her guard. However, Satan cunningly seized this opportunity, overpowering Vaggie and shattering her spear at the blade. In a shocking turn of events, Satan used the broken blade to fatally impale her, revealing the apparent communication to have been a deceit. Charlie, witnessing this horrific act, retaliated by blasting Satan off of Vaggie. In the midst of the chaos, the Divine materialized from the ground and enveloped herself and Satan/Angel in flames. Satan taunted Charlie, asserting that it had fulfilled its promise to make her rue the decision of not joining it. The Divine swiftly teleported herself and Satan/Angel out of the scene, leaving Charlie and her friends to grapple with the aftermath of the devastating encounter.

In the harrowing aftermath of the brutal attack, Charlie and Vaggie navigated the ruins of the hotel, ensuring the safety of everyone. During this, Vaggie suddenly collapsed to the ground, the wound inflicted by Satan gushing with blood. Charlie, consumed by desperation, attempted to use her healing abilities to mend Vaggie's grievous injury, but the holy blade's influence and the sheer severity of the wound thwarted her efforts. As panic and sorrow gripped her, Lux valiantly endeavored to heal Vaggie as well, despite being weakened from the earlier encounter with Satan. Charlie, knowing that Vaggie is dying and overwhelmed with desperation, tearfully begged and implored anyone to help Vaggie, but the devastating reality left the hotel crew in stunned silence. Vaggie, possibly in a state of delirium from the pain, tried to calm Charlie, assuring the princess that she would be alright, attempting to offer comfort in her final moments. However, the severity of her injuries proved insurmountable, and Vaggie tragically succumbed to her wounds in Charlie’s arms. Charlie tried anything she could to revive Vaggie in the moment, refusing to accept her fiancee's death. Realizing that it was too late, Charlie apologizes profusely for being unable to save Vaggie, breaking down in tears as the hotel crew were completely shattered by Vaggie's profound loss.
