It was now a week before the premature extermination and tensions were running high for everyone in Pride.
In the meantime Alastor decided to help Charlie take more of a leader role and gain the aid from Prides Cannibals for the approaching extermination while I convinced Carmen to train Vaggie how to properly fight and protect Charlie.
As for Charlie she was getting trained by a rather famous ancient leader and warrior in the ways of fighting to keep herself safe when the time comes.
As for me I was about to hold a press conference for the Pride Ring specfically as everyone here was freaking out in one shape and or form.
I was slowly smoking a cigar all while the stage was set and Cerberus and several other Hellhounds we're acting as Bodyguards for this conference.
But when everything was ready to go I headed out from the back stage area with a cigar in my mouth as many cameras began to take pictures of me before I stood at the podium to address the crowd.
I raised my hand and the murmurs all began to quiet down as I looked out to the crowd as I leaned on my podium, "People of Pride, I have come to hold this conference in order to calm everyone's nerves." I say to them all as I put my Cigar in an ashtray on my podium.
"Before the reporters here can ask any questions I would prefer to say what needs to be said here an now." I say to stop the reporters from bombarding me with questions until I say what needs to be said.
"Now all of Pride must be wondering why the hell the Extermination been pushed up to only less than six months from the last one, the answer is quite simple, in the last extermination for the first time in a few thousand years, an angel was killed, but the plot twist was it wasn't done by me." I say to the shock and surprise of everyone here and everyone watching at home.
"And before someone asks the question, no I didn't not lend out my Angel Killer Blades for someone to kill an Angel, they were killed in a different way that only us overlords and above have known has been possible but the first real time we've ever come to implement it in real combat." I say looking them all over as many are writing down my words for the papers.
"Turns out Angelic Steel can in fact not only kill sinners and higher ranked demons, but it can kill angels as well, something we believed to be true but it being the first time tested out properly and now we know it is true." This surprises many that angelic steel can kill angels.
"So after finding out others beside me can kill angels they bumped up the extermination date to less than a week from now, but my lovely little girl Charlie went to plead her case for all of hell that the exterminations were pointless and that there were plenty of the sinners that are down here in hell that don't deserve to be in this place, but since you can see the extermination still happening they decided to ignore her plea's and now we are in the situation we found ourselves in, but there's some good news to the sinners of pride." I say looking at all of them with expectant looks in their eyes.
"For this one time only all the sinners of the Pride Ring are allowed into the Wrath Ring for the duration of the Extermination this year, now I'm not doing this out of the kindness of my heart or any bullshit like that, no, no, nothing of the sort, the reason we are offering this as unlike all the other exterminations this one will more than likely be bigger than any other before and thus there's a chance that the unlucky ones who stay behind would be killed leaving a body pile that's too annoying for anyone of us to want to clean up, barring the cannibals of course." I say to them which brings what feels like a wave of relief settling all across Pride when they heard this news.
"But I'd understand for those of you in hell having a significant other or people you call family not wanting to be here in this extermination, no better yet it's best to call this more like a war than anything because for the first time in all of hells history, excluding myself, Hell can finally fight back! Hell can finally get back at the angels who have taken people we have loved and cared about more than anything for all these years! Everyone that has been here in hell for more than a year should have lost someone they knew or maybe they even cared about in the last extermination or the ones before that if you have been lucky enough to find shelter during last time or those of you contracted to Overlords for protection as a result, but now we have the power!"
"We have the weapons!"
"We have the people!"
"And we can Fight Back!" I shouted to them as my voice began to rile up the very crowd themselves, but not just them but all the sinners in Pride hearing my speech.
"So to those of you who wish to get back at the fuckers who have been raping hells ass this entire time and get the pleasure of ripping out their throats, tear out their guts and place their decapitated heads on a spike then I ask you to join me in this war! I want not a single angel that comes down here into hell to ever leave! I want pride to become the angels graveyard!" I shouted out which got an uproarious cry's and shouts from every reporter here.
"So all of you who join us will stay here in Pride when this begins, and we have enough weapons and guns to fully deck out an entire army of would be Angel killers at easily 100,000 strong to deal with the possibly giant army they are to send our way but it's a small price I'm willing to pay just to make the exterminations end for good!" I said to the cheers of everyone here at the thought of hell putting Heaven in their place for once.
"Now then, I know you must be dying to ask questions on the matter, or some must want to speak out their grievances for this situation coming to pass and my role in this extermination, so I now will be taking questions those want to ask me." I say to the crowd of reporters who clambered into asking me questions.

"Is everything ready?" I ask over the phone as now it was only a few hours until this all begins.
"Hehe, my Imps are more than willing to get their hands dirty with Angel Blood." Satan said with a laugh on the other end.
"Plenty of the Crime families are in on this as well, many of them are excited to get their hands on some prime angel parts, those will make me pretty penny after all this." Mammon said with a laugh on the shared call with us.
"Angel feathers make good pillows and bedding, but just be prepared for the clean up crew that will be needed when this is all over." I say with a grin as I start to see the slowly gathering holy energy before hanging up the phone and heading to the top of the hotel.
I soon grew out a second set of arms before summoning my personal double headed electric guitar that was split into a V shape as I stared up to the sky.
"It's about time I put on a show." I say before I began to play for all of Pride to hear.
