Madcap Descent: (Before Hotel, After Contract)
Leftovers from the last Overlord he broadcasted had some residual loyalists, and while normally Alastor could take care of the situation tying up these loose ends, it seemed it was more than he bargained for.
Luckily, Husker was with him, the ex-Overlord proving to be very valuable indeed, carrying his own against the onslaught of Sinners. Since acquiring his soul, Alastor had gotten to know him rather well for about a year or so - that fast already? The Radio Demon dragging him into any folly he could come up with, and the winged cat-like Sinner wasn't really afraid to speak his mind about it - even at the the cost of Alastor's volitile temper.
Alastor wouldn't be able to maintain the embodiment of the eldritch being in front of them all for much longer, that feedback already becoming increasingly loud, his mind getting hazy with the voices it carried. It was exhausting him, and that paved the way to becoming sloppy.
Where was Husker? He couldn't find him in the crowd. He swung his head to look, using his massive elongated claws to push up, crushing some of the demons underneath. He saw the glint of metal too late in his peripheral, and by the time he turned, the gunshot rang true, striking him in the shoulder with a force that even the Radio Demon was taken aback. He felt that bullet burning inside - angelic steel. He cried out in agony, the screech of static, the horror that resembled the cry of an elk, and he couldn't hold form anymore.
But a transformation while he had been scaling a building was not the most ideal, and the next thing he knew, he was plummeting to the ground below.
"We got 'em, boss," the Envy demon hissed, the large shark-featured Sinner next to it staring at the scene below. Revenge. He was after revenge.
"Excellent," he rumbled, the infestor demon darting to his flank. "Make sure you chase them into the tunnels, Caruso, then I leave it to you to....take care of the rest. I want them broken. Bleeding. A shell of what they once were. Like the Radio Demon left my father." He clenched his fist.
"You won't be disappointed, sir," it grinned. Those barracuda like jaws full of teeth, the shiny orbs for eyes held a dangerous mischievousness about him. "I'll take good care of our guests. Good care of them indeed." And he was enveloped in a black sludge, disappearing into the ground.
