"Eclipse of the Hero: The Jester's Betrayal"

Prompt: Write a story of Dylan the Dylanus (the original character made by the Deviantart user Dylan613) fighting and attempting to survive an encounter against Fizzarolli the jester imp (from the adults animated cartoon series Helluva Boss made by Vivienne "VivziePop" Medrano), either by fighting or by escaping (disguising as a demon, trapping Fizzarolli, talk out to Fizzarolli (about Fizzarolli's self-worth issues, self-image issues, and other of his insecurities), running, or hiding) from Fizzarolli. For Dylan the Dylanus's normal/mortal appearance, he is a 4.9 foot tall, 15 year old boy who has a lean build for his size, tan skin, medium-length brown hair (that reaches his chin, although not covering his face at all), and has green irises. He wears a dark blue hoodie, a lighter blue t-shirt underneath, and cyan wear jeans. He also has white socks underneath his black tennis shoes, which have an x-shaped gray marking on each of his shoes' tongue. For Dylan's personality, he is a kind, considerate, smart, and understanding character, who is a love interest to Emma (his affectionate and understanding girlfriend) and is playful around his smarter, slightly older brother Black. Despite his small frame and being a teen, he goes in the way to protect his homeland (Dylanusland, a tropical, subtropical, and temperate island country in the Pacific Ocean on Earth) against various villains and monsters (always successful, even if some are more difficult than others). Despite these traits, he does have some flaws, such as his intolerance to swearing (which aren't present in his homeland, and he gets offended by swear words and he never swears at all, not saying them even one time, and not saying even the mildest swear words (he would never say damn, shit, fuck, bitch, or any other bad language); for example, instead of saying "oh, fuck", Dylan says "oh, meatsticks", and instead of saying "shit" Dylan says "crud" (unlike Fizzarolli, who does swear and use "fuck" and "shit", and does not say "meatsticks" nor "crud" respectively, unlike Dylan). He is also quite weak without superpowers (which he actually does not have and only obtains them when using special devices), and has fear of vampires and demons alike since he views them as nothing more than pure evil monsters. For Fizzarolli's appearance, he is a tall, slender male imp (5.3 feet tall) with a jester getup. Like all imps, he has a short reptilian-looking muzzle with sharp teeth in it. Like all imps, he does not have any visible ears or nose. He lacks any hair on his head and his body. His eyes have lime sclera and pink irises, his sharp teeth are neon blue, and he has a devil-like imp tail with black stripes, however the stripe in the middle is white. His cybernetic arms and legs are retractable, able to extend and bend far more than normal jointed limbs could and have a light blue circle on each shoulder and light blue spots on his knuckles. The majority of Fizzarolli's head is covered in a huge burn scar (resembling white face paint), with the only parts unaffected being the tip of his mouth and a small part of the back of his head, which show his original red skin. His face also has black dots at the ends of his mouth, and he has a forked tongue that has a couple of black stripes on it as well. He used to have exceptionally large horns for an imp, but were damaged and cauterized by the fire. He wears a bright red and blue jester cap with bells, a white ruff, and a black collar with bells located below it. His jester hat's stripe patterns resemble those of his horns' as a child, being asymmetrical from both sides. The front side of his outfit is bright red with yellow trim at the bottom with yellow hearts, while the back is bright blue with white trim at the bottom and black hearts. He wears white and purple striped pants along with white and purple striped sleeves with bright red cuffs and yellow trim edging, and yellow balls on his shoulders with light red hearts. He also wears black, heeled shoes with yellow hearts on the front, black gloves with red spots on the knuckles, and yellow cuffs. For Fizzarolli's personality, he is a theatrical demon, with a fast-talking demeanor and a crude sense of humor. Extremely vulgar in nature, he constantly makes sexual jokes and puns, to the degree he pairs up with Asmodeus in openly condescending sentimental relationships and offering lewd suggestions. He was shown to be especially condescending towards Blitzo, with whom he has a bad history with, which stems from an accident that happened at Cash Buckzo's circus fifteen years prior to the episode "Oops", however Fizzarolli found it in him to forgive Blitzo after the latter rescued him from Crimson and Striker. Early in the series, Fizzarolli seemed to embody Blitzo's comments about being an overrated sellout clown, given how he did not seem to mind having his image exploited by Mammon's corporate marketing because it made him popular and famous for being a Sins name-brand figure. This included having no issue with his likeness being marketed for a line of sex toys, despite how it secretly creeped him out. He also dislikes the creepy fans who enjoy the Robo Fizz sex toys, even secretly ordering the staff at Ozzie's to keep a creepy fan far away from him after they proclaimed they owned four. Despite his normal jovial nature Fizzarolli suffers from extreme self-worth and self-image issues, the latter of which mostly originating from the severe injuries he received from a circus fire that he was involved in when he was younger. Because of this, he feels like he needs to do whatever Mammon tells him to do, as he feels he must repay the man for all the fame and success being his brand figure has brought, despite how horribly he is treated. He also believes unless he keeps propitiating the fame and admiration he will be nothing and will lose Asmodeus, as he's only ever seen him as he claims it "his best", and believes he is barely worthy of working with a king of sin because of his disfigurement. Here are Fizzarolli's preference (likes and dislikes); he loves/likes ridiculing Blitzo, fame, working for Mammon, burgers, juggling, playing with airhorns, and spending time with Asmodeus. However, he dislikes pirates (when he was a child), sharp objects, obsessive fans, Mammon's abuse, Striker's breath, being exploited, disappointing Mammon, performing under pressure, and going outside alone. The story is that Dylan (who is genuinely horrified of demons, since he thinks that demons are nothing more than pure evil monsters) is being hunted down and/or attacked by Fizzarolli, who was sent by either Asmodeus (who is, not only one of the Seven Deadly Sins, embodying the sin of Lust, but also a business partner and a boyfriend to Fizzarolli) or Mammon (who is credited as the owner of the theme park Loo Loo Land in the Greed Ring, he is also a boss of Fizzarolli, and he is one of the Seven Deadly Sins, embodying the sin of Greed) to hunt down Dylan. So, Dylan hides from Fizzarolli (temporarily avoiding detection), and tries to find a way to defeat or escape from Fizzarolli himself. As an attempt for survival, Dylan disguises himself as a demon to fool Fizzarolli, but unfortunately this disguise doesn't work against Fizzarolli, as Fizzarolli is able to see through the disguise, even if the costume looked convincing or not. As such, Fizzarolli finds Dylan's camouflage/disguise attempt amusing (especially smiling really wide and laughing even harder), even taunting Dylan for thinking that he would fool Fizzarolli. Dylan has already set up trap(s) (pitfalls, giant mousetrap-like contraptions, giant cages, or other traps) before that disguise attempt, but Fizzarolli avoided or set the trap(s) without getting caught by the trap(s). Dylan then tries to talk to Fizzarolli about Fizzarolli's self-worth and self-image issues, as well as Mammon using Fizzarolli for profit as well as abusing him, but sadly, Fizzarolli isn't upset over that (since it is Dylan, a mortal, talking to Fizzarolli and not a demon talking to him) and jokes/teases Dylan about the Dylan's own problems (including but not limited to his fear of demons and him being offended to swear words) instead, making Dylan cry slightly and more scared. After that, Dylan tries to fight back against Fizzarolli, but to no avail due to Fizzarolli's unnatural agility and bendy cybernetic limbs, so Dylan tries to run away, but sadly for him, Fizzarolli is much more agile and faster. To make up for that, and as a final attempt at survival, Dylan tries to hide from any object, but is rediscovered no matter how good the hiding place is, and Fizzarolli finally catches him with his robotic limbs (making Dylan call out for help, but it's futile) and Fizzarolli either impales Dylan with his bendy robotic arms (striking Dylan through his flesh and pierce Dylan's heart or other vital organs, causing blood loss, difficulty breathing, and shock, making Dylan gasp out in pain), strangles Dylan (including but not limited to fatally twisting Dylan's head, causing Dylan's neck to audibly break/snap and he falls lifeless), or drops Dylan from a dangerously high platform/building (Dylan screams due to falling from more than 40 feet (12 meters) from a high platform/building after Fizzarolli drops him). Dylan sadly does not survive the attack(s) from Fizzarolli (despite Dylan's best efforts at fighting, hiding, disguising, and escaping) and, after Dylan dies, Dylan does not wake up back in his bed in the mortal realm (Earth) as if it were a dream nor waking up from a hospital bed (also on Earth), but instead he wakes up for real in VivziePop's rendition of Hell (not the mainstream burning pit of suffering as most media show; instead, this is a 2D-animated Hell as depicted in both adult cartoon series, Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss: Hell in these two series is a place/dimension with underworldly wilderness and hellish cities, being populated by immortal imps, hellhounds, sinner demons, fallen angels, and other types of demonic creatures), more specifically, Dylan wakes up in a city called Pentagram City (a city, located in the Pride Ring, that is separated into different sections and with many different places of interest such as casinos, nightclubs, adult film studios, brothels, restaurants, television stations, and hotels, among which is the Hazbin Hotel, and the demons of Pentagram City have their businesses in these places, where they are allowed to sell everything from cigarettes to drugs, however, there are others who resort to the black market, gathering and repurposing the discarded weapons of the Exorcists (a group of angels part of Adam's personal private military force to sent down from Heaven every year in an event known as the Extermination to kill sinner demons to manage Hell's overpopulation) left behind during the cleanse, and there is a Clock Tower located in the city, which serves as a counter for the 365 days that pass until the Exorcists return for the next Extermination, and due to the annual cleanse, there are turf wars to dominate the spaces that were wanted and without owners), confirming that Dylan did not survive and he had indeed been killed by Fizzarolli (despite not remembering Fizzarolli ever being involved or related to the death of the mortal Dylan) and respawned as an actual sinner demon of Hell for real rather than being a disguise (arriving in Hell due to being killed by a demon and influenced as a result, even if Dylan did not do anything evil or sinful). Dylan wakes up, not as a real mortal boy, but as an immortal sinner demon (permanently and irreversibly), who is also cartoony like all of Hell and its inhabitants (due to Dylan being in VivziePop's animated rendition of Hell), complete with a thin/lanky body, a taller frame (he now stands about 5.3 feet tall, taller than his previous mortal self, about the same size as Fizzarolli), demonic eyes (yellow sclera, dark red irises, and black snake-like slit pupils), red skin color instead of normal skin, Dylan's face now having a short reptilian snout with pale blue sharp teeth in it, a forked tongue in his new muzzle, a long devil-like/imp-like prehensile tail (with two black stripes and a black heart-shape pattern on the middle of his tail fork) on Dylan's lower back, Dylan's newly black hair (slightly longer than the hair of his previous mortal self), a pair of upright and curved black-and-white striped horns on top of Dylan's head, four-fingered clawed-fingered hands instead of five-fingered mortal hands, a pair of cloven hoofed feet with two red hooves on each foot, and the demon Dylan does not have a nose nor any visible ears or facial hair; these characteristics make the sinner demon Dylan either almost identical or closely resemble an imp in shape, color, and appearance, despite not actually being an imp (causing the other demons to mistake him for an imp), unlike Fizzarolli (who is an imp), since imps were never mortal beings, unlike sinners. Dylan as a demon has a deeper, more raspy voice to match his new lifestyle. Unlike Dylan's previous mortal life, Dylan as a sinner demon not only tolerates vulgarity, sexuality, obscenities, and swearing, he now enjoys them (due to his soul becoming corrupted as a result of him becoming a demon), he even enjoys using profanity himself (completely out of character compared with his previous mortal self), just like Fizzarolli, and he now says "fuck", " shit", "bitch", "damn", and many more unlike his previous mortal self. Fizzarolli eventually rediscovers the now-demonic Dylan and, by now, Dylan had permanently and completely forgotten how he himself had died (believing that he had died from either a heart attack or a fatal accident), unable to remember and having no memory that Fizzarolli killed him (having permanently and completely forgotten all about how he was killed when he was a mortal as soon as waking up in Hell, due to the demon killing him rather than a fatality caused by anything natural or man-made, thus Dylan thinks that he himself had died from a heart attack or a fatal accident). So Dylan, upon arriving Hell, just views Fizzarolli initially as a random demon he just met, however Fizzarolli actually remembers Dylan. After having found the now-demonic Dylan, Fizzarolli forces/enslaves Dylan (which Dylan is completely okay with it due to his new demonic state) to be another clown/jester alongside Fizzarolli for Asmodeus's nightclub, Ozzie's (which is located in, not in Pentagram City, but in a different city in Hell in the Lust Ring, rather than in the Pride Ring where Pentagram City is located), to increase that nightclub's fame. The now-demon Dylan, being forced by Fizzarolli to be a jester alongside Fizzarolli, wears a jester getup similar to Fizzarolli's clownish/jester outfit. Dylan, at this point, wears a blue and bright yellow jester cap (which completely covers his horns but not his black hair) with a red bell at each tip, a bright yellow ruff, and a black collar with red bells located below it. His jester hat's stripe patterns resemble those of his horns, although being asymmetrical from both sides. The front side of his outfit is blue with yellow trim at the bottom with red hearts, while the back is bright yellow with blue trim at the bottom and red hearts. He also wears cyan and bright yellow striped pants along with cyan and bright yellow striped sleeves with blue cuffs and bright yellow trim edging, and red balls on his shoulders with blue hearts. He also wears black gloves with yellow spots on the knuckles, and red cuffs. As a jester, he even wears a black heart tattoo on his forehead with red outlines and a smaller bright green heart in the middle. To match Fizzarolli's facial colors, Dylan as a demon wears white face paint (mimicking Fizzarolli's burn scar over his face) all over his face, except his upper lip, and he also has a black dot on each end of his mouth. The now-demonized Dylan is unlike his past mortal self, as he is no longer offended or disliked vulgar nature/jokes, crude jokes, or sexual jokes (and no longer offended by swear words nor refusing to use swear words), instead he now enjoys them just as Fizzarolli enjoys them (due to his soul having been completely corrupted and being influenced by his now-demonic nature). Dylan has been given a new nickname for him to fit his new clownish role, and that name is "Dylarolli". And thus, he is now happily working for Fizzarolli (who is the demonized Dylan's boss) for all eternity. There should also be quotes from the characters in this story (this story should include the profanity/swear words (including but not limited to fuck, shit, bitch, etc) from Fizzarolli himself and, after Dylan died and became a sinner demon, the demon Dylan also says swear words as well due to his now-corrupted and demonic soul/nature) so we know what they're saying and what they're thinking.
