(Mao POV)

Location the Void of the Forsaken, Castle Nightscream; Throne Chamber

Having just checked my CP, I'm about to summon Alastor, commanding my system to summon Alastor, with increased loyalty and comradery, greater resistance against light magic, being unaffected by hallow grounds, plus I believe that the Radio Demon would benefit from a empowerment of his dark demonic magic, thus making him one of my stronger magic users in the Forsaken, I'm satisficed for now, I adjust myself on my throne.

As I made my command the Chaos System prompted, [Alastor the Radio Demon + Full Demonification + Enhanced Demonic Power & Magic + Holy Magic Resistance + Unaffected by Hallow Grounds + Comradery + Increased Loyalty + Radio Tower of the Hazbin Hotel + Addition Unnamed Forest: Central Radio/Broadcast Tower + Speaker System= 200000 CP. Do you wish to proceed?] I tell my Chaos System to proceed, as my CP drops from 472118 as my Chaos Points risen a bit during the process summoning, as gone down to 272118 in total.

Immediately I felt someone has enter my castle, not only that my Void once again has gain another addition to this nightmarish realm, a extremely tall tower emerged in the dark landscape, I saw a classic radio station on the top of this tower, with a twisted antenna all in a red coloration, as my sight returned to normal, seeing my throne, filled with ever working maid drones, and minions being rambunctious on the chamber.

I stared out my window, and saw the outline and flashing lights of the radio tower station, that now belong to my newest Infernal Lord, I chuckle as I thought to myself that I didn't even need to have a vision at that moment, a green tinged mist and shadowy tendrils came out the crack under main doors, one of the shadow tendrils became the shape of large antler-horned, shadow with sharp teeth, the same shadow that Alastor made in his official debut in the Pilot of Hazbin Hotel, this shadow gave me and wives a respectful bow, before it open the set of massive doors. 

A huge amount of that demonic shadows and magical energy burst into the chamber, as a silhouette of a horned figure was barely illuminated, as the Radio Demon has made his grand entrance, Alastor opened his red eyes and show a wide smile, as he made his way into my chambers.

As Alastor walked passed his shadow that bow to it's master, before fading away letting Alastor alone as he made his way to my and the queens throne, the Radio Demon, Alastor has finally appeared before us, he is a rather tall, light-skinned, having his usual "dapper" style, he's considered a deer-like demon but to me he's a literal demonic wendigo in both style and backstory, wearing his usual broad smile full of sharp, yellow teeth, his hair is a hot pinkish-red, styled into a cropped, angled bob cut with black ends, and an undercut on the back and atop his head are a pair of small black antlers from the crown, as well as a pair of large deer ears covered in his hair with black tips.

Once he made it before my, Shego, Jinx, Vector, Lilithmon, Looma, Morrigan, and Cyn's thrones, all minions making way all "ohhing" and chuckling excitedly at the presence of the infamous Radio Demon, Alastor, he tapped his "staff" bud onto the ground, giving me and proper bow, as he spoke in his slightly radio-like sounding voice, "Salutation. It's a pleasure to stand before my dapper master, and majestical queens." there's that dapper charm, and courtesy, as Alastor stood up straight, looking at us with a smile. 

I looked at his eyes, filled with malice and bloodlust as their red irises and slit-like pupils, and dark red eyelids, his red claw-like fingers holding his classic black staff with a sentient, vintage-style eyed-microphone at the top, which he uses to play sound effects and broadcast his voice and channel his powers.

Alastor wearing his iconic red pinstriped coat with a darker high collar and long sleeves with brighter-colored cuffs, white-trimmed darker-red lapels, and the hem being slightly ragged. Under his coat, he wears a rather long, untucked bright red dress-shirt with a black cross on the chest. He also wears black dress pants with cuffs matching his coat, and red pointed-toed dress shoes with red deer hoofprints emblazoned on the soles, his attire that he accessorizes with a black-knotted bowtie with a bright red center, and a small, oval-shaped, black-rimmed red monocle which he wears over his right eye.

I then went to check on Alastor's status, as red transparent floating screen appeared in front of the standing Radio Demon, as the screen it states.

Name: Alastor Race: Wendigo Demon. Gender: Male. Title: None. Rank: General. Powers/Abilities 1.Enhanced Demonic Physiology. 2.Demonic Energy Manipulation. 3.Demonic Energy Enhancement. 4.Radiowave Manipulation. 5.Shadow Magic. 6.Invokation Magic. 7.Infernal Magic. 8.Deal & Contract Creation/Binding. 9.Greater Resistance Against Holy Forces. 10.Increased Loyalty. 11.Greater Comradery.

Seems that my system agrees that Alastor is a wendigo demon, over a deer sinner, especially since I raised his status and in turn making his powers and abilities much stronger, than average, as everything is looking good in Alastor's status, I dismiss the status screen.

I smile, as I started clapping as I said to Alastor, "Never disappoint Alastor. Even great monsters, need presentation, as they appear. Right?" he answered back, after chuckling at my words, "So true my lord, so true. Now...whose the people, that are gonna be my..."assistants" in my latest work?" saying this as his eyes, turned into radio dials.

Once again I think that my choice for the thirteen Infernal Lord is perfect, as I started telling Alastor where his first victims are, and made a point to make clear, that Alastor is to "play" if the toys break too quickly...it's not a issue, just make it entertaining...as we discuss the final things of the little game in the North Pole, seems that things are getting heated up, on the frozen wastes of the tundra...

(General POV)

Location the New Earth, North Pole: Within the Cube

The young heroes all minus Superboy, Batgirl, and Miss Martian, went inside the Cube, a massive network of ice made bridges with hanging icicles, crystal staircases of various styles, multiple frozen platforms, and several path and entrances, a giant maze of ice and crystal.

Dupli-Kate along with Static were amazed by the sight before them, a humongous place, both Aqualad and Invincible agreed that it would take too much time searching this place together, so they decided to split up in group, Static, Rocket, Robot, and Gear made one group, going the East direction.

Going west is Invincible, Atom Eve, and Wonder Girl, through the center Aqualad, Dupli-Kate, Blue Beetle, and Spoiler, leaving Red Arrow, Cheshire, and Arsenal as the last group that went southwest, not knowing that many dangers and enemies are dwelling deep within this crystal labyrinth, speaking of those enemies...

Luthor and his group kept following Lady Shiva, vigilant of their surroundings, careful of any traps or threats, when Luthor stepped on a section of the ice floor, causing cracks to form under the weight of his warsuit, before any of the Legion members could react, the floor completely shattered, leading him, Shiva, Capt. Cold, Black Archer, as well as Shiva and her subordinates into a trap, splitting them up in slippery tunnels, leading to different parts of the Cube.

First to emerge in another chamber is Snart, dusting himself of snow, his blue coat nearly white with frost, he was alone in a round-edged pathway, with only one exit, holding his cold-gun at the ready, he first checked if he can contact Merlyn and the others, but as soon as he turned on his comm, Cold was meet with...vintage 1930's music, he said to himself, "What is this, somekind of old freight elevator?" seeing that not only he's on his own for now, but the comms, that Luthor was ohh so proud of are totally worthless, Capt. Cold, he pressed on with his Cold-gun at the ready.

Next to emerge in another part of the Cube, was Lex Luthor himself, thanks to his warsuit he has suffered no injuries, only felt anger that he somehow managed to fall for such a primitive, and barbaric trap, like Snart, he and the other Legion members that all came out their own respected tunnel, relatively unscaved each tried to contact each other through their own comms, but all meet the same result...hearing 1930's swing music.

Each of them were surprise, especially Luthor himself, as he activates several protocols and systems within his warsuit, he couldn't find the issue of his comms, so obviously he couldn't fix them, in fact he's build in AI, stated that no hacking or outer source is responsible, Luthor grunted angrily, as this meant through deduction that this either the Cube itself causing this, or someone not using "normal" means...he groaned again, hoping it wasn't that insufferable imp, Mxyzptlk, with no choice he had to proceed, finally taking time to check his surroundings.

Luthor saw he was in a cube-like chamber with three entrances, one being the one that he fell through, scoffing he just needed to go into one of the open sections of the Cube, start sending a signal to draw in his associates...if their still alive, as he started stomping forward, heading towards the left exit, and immediately he stepped into view, some missiles were fired at him, only by the force field systems of the warsuit, did Luthor once again survived without large amount damage, aside some impacts.

Smoke obscured Luthor's view, as it cleared he saw young black woman, with reddish hair and a grayish jacket, having a bright magenta and purple aura covering her body, as she was swinging a fist at him, Luthor, he barely registered Rocket punching him across the face, as her own bubble-field bypassed the force field of Luthor, hitting directly on the face, grunting in pain, as he was blasted back.

Luthor rubbed his jaw, as he saw some of the League's children, Rocket, Static, and Gear, along with another selfless hero, that he doesn't recognized, he stared at the orange colored robot, with neon green energy, glowing through his eyes and core.

Rocket was floating in the air, with Static on his disk, surging with purple electricity, also ready to fight, behind the two first heroes is the armored teen called Gear, and this unknown hero, Luthor looked clearly displeased, as Robot spoke, "Seems you're correct Gear, this is indeed that man you mentioned, Lex Luthor. His armor...my sensors, can't detect or identity much from it." Gear chuckled, as he told Robot that Lex uses a alien suit, so he can "match" Superman, this comment wasn't ignored by Luthor, as he stood straight as he was getting ready for a obvious fight, he scoffed, "Children..." with that Static attacked first.

Thrusting out his arms, as his indigo jacket and gloves, burst with purple electricity, blasting out his opened gloved-hands, shocking Luthor...but his warsuit, activated a transparent dome, illuminated that dome field, protecting Luthor from damage and being affected by the meta-human's power, meanwhile the other heroes started moving in to attack the massive armor-suited, bald villain.

As each other group are getting closer to a battle, in a platform with several ice bridges connected, and holding said platform, there's a red pinstriped, smiling demon was watching through the shadows, he was psychically introduced to the other Infernal Lords, also waiting for own playmates to arrive, he focused a green energy with wicket wisps, and demonic runes, dancing around the gloved, red-clawed hand of this Infernal Lord, twisting the Cube's landscape to make these encounters happen quicker, while also disturbing all comms, which he's more than happy to do so, as he hates much of modern technology.

In fact he was leading a few entertaining fellows and madams to himself, which he believes their called, Capt. Cold, Aqualad, Dupli-Kate, Blue Beetle, and Spoiler, Alastor personally requested them...to much of Kefka, he saying it wasn't fair but he shut up, as he'd promised to insure he gets so fun toys to play, raising his magic surging left arm, he noticed that Golem was making his way to encounter Invincible, Wonder Girl, and Atom Eve, seeing this as too much for his huge associate, Alastor started changing the surroundings to make Kefka encounter those three, without Golem realizing it of course.

Against Eve alone, his comrade Golem will kill that girl, but two heavy hitters, fighting together against him, even Golem would lose, with that tragedy avoided, Alastor, he continued to manipulate things along, under Lord Mao's command of course, just then Alastor sensed that another of the group in the North Pole has just made it to the Cube, bending the shadows subtlety he saw who are the next guest...he recognized them as the Suicide Squad that Lord Mao mention, Rick Flag, Deadshot, Harley Quinn, Capt. Boomerang, Peacemaker, and Katana are about to join a literal spectacle, Alastor could hardly wait...and it seems he doesn't need to either, as he sensed those heroes getting closer to him.

He stopped channeling his magic, spun around his microphone-staff, and spoke, "Well are you ready for the big show?" as his staff answered back, like a old mic-speaking male voice, "More than ready!! Let the show begin!!!" as Alastor swiped his staff, and banished from sight, cause all stars have to have a grand entrance, before they steal the whole show...
