Envy: Leviathan’s Green Shoes
A demon girl looks rejected as she see her crush making out with a girl she hates. A slim woman with black hair and sharp green eyes steps out from behind a door. She wears a slinky black dress and green pumps.
Leviathan: Have you ever had a moment where you felt so jealous that you would do anything to take that away from someone and DESTROY THEM!!! She quiets down. I’m Leviathan, Demon of Envy, and I’m here to give that satisfaction to you.
Girl: You are?
Leviathan makes a pair of bright green heels appear in front of the girl.
Girl: Ew! Those shoes are a gross color. Like poison or something.
Leviathan: Bright green happens to be my favorite color.
Leviathan looks positively murderous for a moment, then calms down.
Leviathan: Anyway, if you put on these shoes, people will be absolutely envious of you!
The girl puts on the shoes cautiously, and a group of paparazzi surround her. Her crush makes out with her, and they kiss passionately until the mean girl flies over and punches her. They start slapping and hitting each other. A huge smackdown commences. The shoes fall off and Leviathan groans.
Leviathan: Not again!
She flys away in a huff, dropping the heels in a trash can on the way out.
Part 2: Quest for Sun Chips™
“Your first challenge involves everyone’s favorite snack foods, Sun Chips™!” Beelzebub held up a bag of the delicious chips. Ryan could feel his stomach growl.
“You have to retrieve as many bags of these tasty morsels from a booby-trapped house, then make it into a delicious, by which I mean horrible, appetizer! You will have twenty minutes to find the chips and forty minutes to prepare your food!” The demon said excitedly, and a portal opened up on the back wall. On the other side was a peaceful looking house in the middle of a swamp.
“You will be monitored by a series of cameras for the enjoyment of the audience and myself. Thanks Camera Man!” He continued, a giant screen now hovering over his head, and the audience cheered loudly. A man behind a huge camera in the front gave a thumbs up.
A beautiful girl with horns, a forked tail, and scantily clad clothing appeared out of nowhere, holding a giant flag with flames on it.
Beelzebub and Moloch flew over to the portal and yelled, “On your mark…”
Barbie now had her long blonde hair in a ponytail and was staring at the portal. Chop swung his axe and whooped.
“Get set…”
Ryan could see Digit holding a strange device in his hand. Chad was sweating, and Ebony’s white makeup was flaking off. Ryan himself felt like he was going to throw up.
“GO!”
Digit flew ahead at super speed, leaving the others behind. Momentarily stunned, Ryan and the others ran or flew into the portal. As Ryan went through the portal, Beelzebub said, “ How will Ryan fare against winged demons? Let’s see how he does.”
As they left the portal behind, Ryan could feel his shoes squish in the mud. The demons laughed, their wings flapping as they soared ahead of him. However, a gunshot made them scatter.
Ryan ran into the trees, already out of breath, and peered at the house. On the porch of the house was an old man holding a gun. Next to him was a Digit-sized hole where the demon had most likely escaped from the old man’s wrath.
“Git, varmints! Git back ta Hell!” He yelled, and fired his gun in the air. Paint flew out of the end and hit a tree.
“Well at least it’s just a paintgun,” Ryan thought, before getting splattered with foul yellow paint that smelled like old bananas and mayonnaise. He squeaked and retreated back into the woods.
Ryan could already see contestants sneaking to the backyard, so he followed them from the trees, tripping on branches.
The backyard was unprotected from any crazy humans, and the back door was wide open. Next to it was a bag of Harvest Cheddar Sun Chips™. Chad grabbed them and flew in there, along with everyone else except for Ryan.
“Wait, you guys…” He panted, and stuffed himself into the doorway.
Inside was the most filthy house Ryan had ever seen, including his own tiny apartment. Dirty water lay in pools on the rotting wood floor. Mildewy cardboard boxes were filled with toys, clothing, and other junk. It smelled like stale crackers and sewer water. Ryan gagged, and took a deep breath. The others were darting ahead, but Ryan saw the glare of a chips bag inside a box and pulled it out. It was French Onion Sun Chips™ covered with a sheen of slime. He groaned and put it in his sweatshirt pocket.
He carefully walked across the floor and looked in another cardboard box. As he was doing this, a vine slithered along the wall.
Ryan turned around and narrowly avoided the tendril. He yelped, and came face to face with a giant Venus Flytrap. It roared and its giant mouth lunged towards his throat. He ran down the hallway, forgetting about the floorboards. The Venus Flytrap tried to snap at him, but its vine only extended so far.
“Ha ha!” Ryan laughed, and found a huge knife lying on the ground. He quickly sliced off the flytrap’s stem and the plant made a high-pitched squeal, spraying juice all over Ryan. It then flopped to the ground, dead. It felt like one of Ryan’s video games. He was half-expecting to get some gold coins and level up, but without the rancid smell of meat.
“Aw, gross.” He groaned, and was about to go into the next room when he saw what the plant had attached to one of its spines. It was an impaled Original Sun Chips™. He pried it off and went into the next room.
He could see Barbie furtively stuffing Sun Chips™ into a bag. Barbie looked up and glared at him. She ran off, leaving a trail of bags. Pumping his plump fist, Ryan found a plastic bag and tossing chips into it, following Barbie.
Ryan entered a waterlogged kitchen, where an epic battle for snack foods were taking place. Digit’s device was on the floor broken in pieces as he battled with Ebony for Sweet and Spicy Barbecue Sun Chips™, each holding frying pans. Chop was using his axe to make holes in the wall and uncover dusty bags of chips and long dead rats. Chad was snatching Barbie’s bag away from her, and she was shrieking like a banshee.
The old man suddenly stormed into the kitchen and started yelling. Everyone was silent.
“All I wanted was ta hide ma Sun Chips™ from intruders! Now git, ya-” The floorboards snapped and he fell through a hole in the floor.
Chaos continued, and Chad picked up Barbie’s Garden Salsa Sun Chips™. Ryan found a baseball on the counter and beaned it at Chad. Due to Ryan’s weak upper arm strength, instead of hitting him in the head, it hit Chad in a certain place. The demon squealed and keeled over, squirming on the floor.
He handed Barbie’s chip bags back to her, and she took them reluctantly, wiping her hands on her pants.
Just then, a siren blared throughout the house, and a portal opened leading back to the stage. All of them leaped through it and landed back in Inferno’s Kitchen, Chad stumbling along.
