A sudden abrupt explosion that rocked the hotel, that sent the front door flying, caught everyone's attention; Niffty being in the path of the flying door, got slammed into by it and was taken along with the door further into the hotel while everyone else was focused on what caused the explosion outside the hotel.
While the rest peaked out through the new hole to see a blimp war ship, Joshua on the other hand steadily walked over to the new pile of rubble to pull a pair of spindly legs out; without any effort on his part, Joshua pried out Niffty as he held her upside down how was smiled broadly at him.
"I wanna do that again!" Niffty screamed in excitement, before squirming a bit in Joshua's hold, prompting the burnt man to drop her unceremoniously back down with a flat look in his eyes while she landed back onto her feet; sprinting in place, Niffty zoomed off without another word.
Meanwhile, Joshua took it upon himself to get himself equipped should the need arise with the looming threat from outside, a rifle with a well aimed bullet might do the trick…
On the other hand with the rest, who now stood outside the hotel to attend to the intruder and cause of the explosion, looked up and watched as from out the blimp's window, Sir Pentious leaned out to address the sinners and etc below.
"Hah! Well, well, well. Look who it is harboring the striped freak! We meet yet again, Alastor!" Sir Pentious said while leaning his chin on his palms, before reaching out with his arm to grasp at the air for a dramatic flair.
With obliviousness on his part, Alastor answered with a cheeky smile, "Do I know you?" he asked.
With his ego somewhat deflated from Alastor's answer, Sir Pentious retracted from his mood being killed to angry as he grasped at the window edges, "Oh, yes you do!" the snake esque sinner replied back in anger with his hood flaring open.
Slithering back into his blimp to sit in his chair, Sir Pentious sat and reach out at a lever while speaking, "And this time, I have the element of-'' he trailed off a bit as he pulled the lever, "SURPRISE! Ahaha! I'm so evil!" Sir Pentious laughed maniacally as a giant laser cannon lowered down and leveled its aim at the sinners and demons.
Right as Alastor was about to raise his arm up to snap his fingers and summon his familiars, a loud bang a crack of a bullet rang out that thrummed throughout the charging laser cannon; not a second later, the laser cannon ceased powering up.
"Hmm." Alastor remarked as he glanced a bit at the hotel, and saw a bit of a shine from a scope atop the roof of the hotel. "Well now, it seems little miss's attack dog isn't all bark." He observed with a sly smirk, before another crack of an echoing bang went off in the air.
"Hey wait!" Sir Pentious's voice rang out from his war ship, "What's going on!? Why isn't my weapon working!?" his voice carried out through the air.
Moments later, the mechanism holding the cannon broke off from another echoing shot, leaving the laser cannon to fall to the ground, leaving the warp ship blimp with one less giant laser cannon. " Who the hell is shooting at my ship! Who dares-"
In the next moment, a rocket propelled grenade went flying through the air from the rooftop of the hotel, to the flying war ship of Sir Pentious and exploded into the front. The impact only caused the blimp to somewhat jostle and move a bit in the air.
" HAh!" Sir Pentious bellowed out in laughter, "Is that all?" his voice echoed out in triumph
At the top roof of the hotel, Joshua Graham tossed down his spent rocket propellant launcher to the wayside, and bent down to pick up a remote of sorts with a red button at the top. With his thumb, Joshua pressed down on said button, and in quick succession, a row of S.A.M's raised up and ignited from one side to the other.
A shower of missiles rained through the air toward the warship, to which Sir Pentious's voice broke through the sounds of incoming missiles, " oh, I suppose that'll do the trick-" BOOM
"You haven't seen the last of me!" Sir Pentious's voice echoed out as his blimp went spiraling out of control from busted part, before shortly afterwards exploded off in the distance.
Meanwhile, with the others outside at ground level, Alastor chose to break the silence. "...Well, I'm starving!" he remarked, before taking off to head into the hotel, "Who wants some Jambalaya?" Alastor suggested while the others followed suit with only Charlie still staying to look up where Joshua had defended the Hotel from, and resolved to speak and thank the man as soon as she could.
"M y mother once showed me a wonderful recipe for Jambalaya." Alastor's voice trailed off in the distance white Charlie remained rooted in the spot for a bit, leaving Vaggie to look at her questioningly , " In fact, it nearly killed her! Hahaha! You could say the kick was right out of Hell! Ohoho, I'm on a roll! Yes, sir! This is the start of some real changes down here! The game is set! Now.."
"Sorry." Charlie professed as she placated Vaggie as she marched herself off to follow after the rest of the group, "Was a bit lost in…hey!" she exclaimed as she watched the Happy switch to Hazbin atop her Hotel, "I didn't agree to that!" Charlie said, while earning an eye roll from Vaggie, before both headed inside the hotel.
Joshua Graham
Having headed inside before the 'Happy' was changed to 'Hazbin', Joshua busied himself with checking his surplus of armament; Standing in the doorway of his room that Charlie had given him as his place of residence in the hotel, several dozen crates were stacked atop each other to one side of the room, while all else was a simply bed atop a metal frame.
His eyes swiveled to the leftover ballistics, and noted he had run himself short after that attempt of defending the hotel, thus he was left with no more surface to air missiles that allowed him to take out that blimp. "Hmph." Joshua mumbled to himself as he closed his door and headed off to head back downstairs with his hands in his pant pockets.
"Blessed are those who have regard for the weak; the Lord delivers them in times of trouble." Joshua softly murmurs to himself as he walks down the hallway of the Hotel.
