DownVall

"DownVall" is the second episode of The Unreliable's Light's Third Year. It consists of Chapters 45-51 of the original story. It's a pseudo-crossover with Hazbin Hotel, but set in an alternate 2380 for them.

Summary

After a transwarp accident, the Unreliable & crew are sent to the Pride Ring in Hell. The Vees soon notice the ship and Vox in paticular wants it for his own deeds. Not willing to give it up, an investigation and later a battle ensues because of his greed... With a former Starfleet officer perhaps being the person they need to help.

Trivia

• Thanks to Vaggie Illario, this episode is the third to mention a member from TNG, that being Jean-Luc Picard himself.
• This was initially an unseen adventure, but the events were too interesting for both writers (and the urge to make a good Hellaverse episode arrived) so it became an actual episode in the Third Year.
• While only The Vees & Vaggie appear in DownVall, 4 other Hazbin characters are mentioned. Those being Lucifer, Charlie, Alastor & Angel Dust. The second and third don't get mentioned by name.
• This is not canon to the actual Hazbin Hotel show, due to many factors including the time period, Vaggie not being a fallen angel & Angel Dust working independently among other things.
• Johnathan Archer was considered to appear in this episode, but this never happened.
• Despite debuting in the previous episode, this is the first time we see Tyson (in it's refit configuration) in action.
• A few of the chapter titles are references/suggestions.
  • Chapter 45's is a reference to a famous line in Tales From The Hood 2.
  • Chapter 50's title is a reference to a lyric from Stayed Gone, a Hazbin Hotel song.
