The story starts with Charlie pacing back and forth in panic mode. Keekee was in the shot, walking alongside her owner.

Charlie: "Okay. So the extermination is coming in six months instead of a year. No big deal. Just a little setback. Nothing we can't handle. Just angels cutting our timetable in half. But who needs a whole year to save souls? Am I right?! And next time when they cut the time in half again, and again, we'll just handle it, right?!"

Vaggie grabs Charlie, calming her down.

Vaggie: "Yes. We will."

Angel Dust: "Oh, please, ya had less then half a chance when you started all this salvation bullshit. And now
Ain't no silver lining this time toots."

Charlie: "Sure there is! We just...have to look a little harder for it!"

Angel Dust: "Well, while you're lookin', the rest'a hell's goin' nuts." [Angel waves his phone in their faces.] "People are already freakin' out about the news. Look at what's happenin' in the Doomsday District."

He scrolls down an article with the bottom showing a demon screaming in front of a fire. Suddenly a pink message appears. Charlie gets closer to read it.

Charlie: "Err, what is a...Donkey Show?"

Angel Dust: "Aah, heh, nothin'. My boss, Val, is just freaked out about the news too."

Ray: "You youngsters and your Donkey show shit. Back in my day, pretty much nothing existed..."

Angel: "..........Like I said, everyone's losin' their shit."

Vaggie: 'Yeah, that's true. Sinners are desperate. Maybe desperate enough to try anything to escape the extermination?"

Charlie: [Gasps] "This is the perfect time to recruit more sinners for the hotel!"

Angel Dust: "Cute idea and all, but you really gonna go out in all of this?"

Waves the phone with the place still on fire and demons in panic.

Charlie: "Well, it's not like people are just gonna show up on our doorstep -"

[uddenly, a massive explosion made Charlie scream in fight from behind, getting their attention. They turn to see a freshly made hole in the wall, then cuts to outside to see Sir Pentious zeppelin armed for battle. The scene cuts inside to see him and his Egg Boiz scattering around.

Sir Pentious: "Show yourself Alasssstor. Come and face -"

Pentious pauses for a moment when he notices Alastor absent from the freshly made hole. He then looks to see him sipping coffee on the balcony of the second floor.

Sir Pentious: "Oh there you are - Face my wrath!"

Alastor: "Who are you?"

Sir Pentious: "Who am I? Who am I?! WHAT ARE YOU EVEN SAYING!! I am the great Ssssssir Pentiousssss!"

Alastor dissolves into fog as he descends to the ground, materializing aside Angel, Vaggie, and Charlie who are in the scene watching Sir Pentious's zeppelin.

Sir Pentious: "Inventor, architect of dessstruction, villain extraordinaire!"

Egg Bois: "Ooh you tell 'em boss."

Niffty appears on Alastor's right shoulder, clearly starstruck.

Niffty: "Ooooooh, he's a bad boy~"

Alastor scoops Niffty up and drops her to the ground.

Alastor: "Ha, well if all that's true, you'd think I'd have heard of you."

Sir Pentious: "I attacked you literally last week."
