Justice walked through the streets of Pentagram City as she journeyed towards Lucifer's palace. Today was her favorite niece's birthday, and the High Prosecutor had no intention of missing it.
She'd make it on time, of course, but she'd be cutting it close. Because for some odd reason, she wasn't able to arrange for a carriage ride or for a taxi to take her there; nobody answered when she called earlier.
'Come to think of it, it's unusually quiet today,' she thought to herself. Normally Pentagram would be filled with countless sinners and demons, but today it's even more deserted than the annual extermination. She shrugs and continues on, deciding to look into it after the celebration.
The sound of bones crunching catches her attention. "Hm?"
It was close. Glancing in the direction it was coming from, her senses allow her to make out a tall figure holding something in his hand. He seems to have noticed her, because the crunching stops and he turns to her.
"What's this?" he asks himself. There was a notable distortion to his voice. "Ladies and gentlemen, I believe we have a new guest for the show."
Justice didn't have time to go along with whatever he's talking about, so she gives a polite smile and waves him off. "Oh, sorry. Gonna have to decline. On my way to something and I don't wanna be late."
"Oh, my dear, you misunderstand. I wasn't asking," the man chuckles. "After all..."
The man grows taller and more monstrous. "I'm still hungry." His voice was deeper now, his very prescence distorting the very space around them.
Most people would be terrified at the sight before them.
Justice just looks up at him, not caring in the slightest.
She didn't have time to deal with some upstart...
"Didn't even know who he was at the time, I found out later that was the Radio Demon who's been terrorizing Pentagram," Justice says as she concludes her story.
Her audience's reactions varied. Charlie was relieved that her honorary aunt wasn't hurt during that confrontation, while Vaggie had a hand to her mouth to hold in her laughter at how the infamous Radio Demon was defeated so easily. Husk and Angel were much less successful, both laughing loudly at the story. Azazel was jotting down notes at Justice's retelling of the events as if she was going to have this be part of her report when she returns to Heaven. Niffty was sitting there excitedly listening like a child during story time. Alastor, however, was annoyed and was probably as close to pouting as one could get when they had a smile on their face 24/7.
"You could've embellished the story a little, you know," he suggests. "Make it so that there was an exciting battle between the two of us instead of simply stating that I went down in a single hit."
If you read my pilot for that HHHB x Helltaker fic I wrote, you probably remember that I had it so that Alastor's absolutely terrified of Justice. This is why.
He didn't even have a drawn out, yet onesided fight against Justice, he was just straight up Yamcha'd
