Summary: Just when you’re about to go to Heaven, you end up face to face with the last person you’d expect.
Warnings: Maybe one bad-ish word?
“Greetings, loathsome villains. Black Hat, here, with another functioning device to defeat the bothersome heroes in your life.” Turning to Dr. Flug, he awaited the explanation that the doctor would surely give.
“This device will automatically return something you lost.” As soon as he said that, Demencia had run by, stealing one of the prototypes on display behind him. “If you lose your weapon during a fight, this device will return it to you.” Flug pointed the device in the air and fired it, causing a blueish flash before the stolen prototype fell into his hand.
Excited by this, 505 quickly grabbed the device, hoping that it would return the Black Hat puppet that Demencia had stolen from him. Before he could fire it, Black Hat had snatched it from the blue bear and accidentally firing it himself.

For a split second, you could see the gates of Heaven. It was right there, but then you were startled by a strange blue flash. That was when you realized that you were falling further and further from the gates before landing on a metallic floor.
"Ah!" you screamed. Strangely enough, the fall did not hurt as much as you thought it would.
"What-"
"The-"
"Hell?!"
"You!" You yell. You hadn't seen Black Hat since your death in 1692. You thought that, after 329, you were done with him and his evil schemes. Guess you were wrong.
He was surrounded by a few others. One was a man wearing a paper bag on his head. The other was a strangely dressed girl with pink and green hair. The third, and possibly strangest, was a surprised-looking blue bear with a flower on his head.
"Dr. Flug, what is the meaning of this!!!" Black Hat yelled at the man wearing a paper bag over his head. The way he cowered before him almost made you feel sorry for him.
"I-I don't know! The device is supposed to return something you lost! Maybe you know her?"
This only served to anger Black Hat further. It seemed as though Black Hat had no idea how you got here either, which begs the question: what the Hell was going on?
"She is supposed to be DEAD!!!" He yelled, causing everyone's eyes to widen in surprise. A small part of you felt self-conscious about it, while an even more significant part of you was just fed up with how confusing this all was.
"Can someone please explain what's going on? I'm supposed to be in Heaven!" Before you could finish, Black Hat burst into a fit of laughter. Why wasn't he taking this seriously? "What's so funny?"
"Someone as evil as you could never get into Heaven," he smirked, causing your angered expression to quickly morph into one of shock.
What if he's right? Maybe that is why it didn't work. After all the things you and Black Hat did while you were alive, it made sense. Perhaps you are too evil to get into Heaven.
"I-" you begin to say, but you don't have the words to defend yourself. "What am I doing here anyway?" You turn to the man with the paper bag on his head. Black Hat called him Flug, so that must be his name.
"Um...it's complicated?" He replied before holding up a strange-looking device. "Basically, this device-"
"Forget the device! Can we keep her?!" The girl yelled as she shoved Flug out of the way. Something about it reminded you of Alastor, but you shrugged the thought out of your mind. You wondered if your friends knew that something went wrong.
"No," Black Hat answered bluntly, causing a pout to form on the girl's face. Flug stepped up hesitantly before speaking up on her behalf.
"Well, boss, maybe it would be good... for research?" Research? The last time someone wanted to research you, they tricked you into answering many stupid questions that ended up getting you condemned for witchcraft. As if those arsworms knew anything about real witchcraft. Meanwhile, a terrifying grin manifested on Black Hat's face. You knew that look, and it always leads to trouble for those around him.
"Fine," he said after a while, "but I'm not responsible for the witch."
"Baw!" the blue bear took you by surprise by picking you up and giving you the biggest hug you've ever had. Aren't bears supposed to be dangerous or something?
"So, what's Hell like?" The green-haired girl asks eagerly. You looked to Flug, but instead of helping, he was ready with a notepad and pen. You couldn’t help but want to run away.
"Um... can I use the restroom?" You ask.
This was all too overwhelming. First, you have to say goodbye to all your friends and the man that you've developed feelings for. Next, instead of Heaven, you somehow end up on Earth. Now, you've run into your ex-partner in crime and his new friends whose questions keep giving you flashbacks of your death.
As soon as the bathroom door closed behind you, you shut your eyes and let out a deep breath you didn't know you've been holding. If Black Hat was right that you could never get into Heaven, then you had to find a way back to your friends. As soon as you opened your eyes and saw your reflection in the mirror, you let out a startled scream as you were met by a familiar and almost forgotten sight. You weren't a demon anymore! You were human!
--------------------
Bonus:
Black Hat sat in his office with a deeper scowl than usual, further illuminated by the crackling fireplace. Seeing you again after 329 years would have been a miracle if his confusion wasn't giving him a headache. To make matters worse, your scream rang through the entire manor, and your sudden emotion had caused the fire to flare up. Not wanting to have to deal with this, he called the one person who could (maybe) deal with this without worsening his already growing headache.
"Flug!!!”
Summary: Just when you’re about to go to Heaven, you realize that you don’t want to leave your friends.
Warnings: None?
Today is the day. The moment you got to leave behind this hell hole and transcend to Heaven had finally come, but you didn't feel happy. You felt sad.
After months of rehabilitation, you had begun to realize what you'd be leaving behind. You had made real friends. They were genuine friends who weren't actively trying to accuse you of witchcraft every chance they got. Then, there was Alastor.
When you first met him, his songs and gentlemanly manners were like a breath of fresh air. You were so used to the constant pessimism that everybody in Hell, except the Magnes, manifested.
"Smile, my darling, you're-" Alastor began to say. In one hand, he held his microphone while his other hand rested on your shoulder.
"-Never fully dressed without one," you finished with a sad smile. You already miss Alastor, and you haven't even left yet!
"I dare say, my darling dear, shouldn't you be bursting with excitement? After all your hard work, I'd imagine that you'd be absolutely thrilled! All of Heaven will finally get to hear you're lovely voice. In fact-."
"I'm not quite sure that I want to go to Heaven," you reply curtly. A few months ago, you would have loved to go to Heaven, but things have changed. You've changed, and you owe a lot of it to the demon standing right beside you.
"Nonsense. Of course, you do. It's what you've been working for all these months. I'm sure that once you're in Heaven, all your doubts will disappear." Alastor sounded happy, but there was an apparent strain in his voice. Maybe he wanted you to stay just as much as you did?
"But what if I-" you begin to say, but you're cut off by Vaggie, who approaches you with a small encouraging smile.
"Y/N! It's time!" she tells you. You couldn't believe it. It was too soon.
"Well, time really does fly by," Alastor mutters. It was barely noticeable, but for a split second, his smile faltered.
"Look, Y/N, we're... going to miss you," Vaggie hesitantly admits. She gives you an awkward side hug before stepping away.
"I'm going to miss you too," you admit before you're returned with a small smile.
"Angel," you say with an affectionate smirk.
Angel Dust was one of the first friends you made after coming to the hotel. He was supposedly on the road to Heaven, but you could tell that he was hesitant to leave, hence his constant trouble-making.
"See ya, Toots," he smirks as he gives you a soft punch on the shoulder. "It's not gonna be the same without you."
"Yeah? How do you think I'll feel? I'll be without all of you." He chuckles at your words, yet he knows your right.
"It's for the best," Vaggie reminds you. "You deserve to be happy."
"Well..." you begin. "What if I-"
You're interrupted by the feeling of small hands wrapping around your legs. Niffty hugs you goodbye, and you couldn't help but realize that you're going to love her chaotically bubbly personality. Then there's Husk.
"I guess this is goodbye," you tell him. He huffs, but you can see slight hints of a smile behind his gruff exterior.
"I guess it is," He says before taking a swig of his cheap booze. "Have fun up there."
You look at all your friends, and you can't help but feel a sense of dread at what is to come. This might possibly be the last time you see any of them, and just the thought was enough to make you want to cry.
"I don't want to go," you admit, much to everyone's shock, but it's too late. You're already gone.
