DEMON HUNTERS: WHEN HELL FREEZES OVER
CHAPTER ONE: INTO THE HELLGATE
1869 in Parkland, Washington
Before the discovery of PLU
It is a dark and stormy night a preacher along with many of his disciples all carry off a coffin which is wheeled in by a medium sized wagon. They are all carrying off this coffin to a cemetery called the Carpenter Hill Pet Cemetery which contains mystical ground which carries powers of good and evil.
And then once they wheel the cart to the ground of burial they then stop and then all of the disciples then take up ends of the coffin, the coffin has certain symbols on it, those symbols are an inscription with words in a Samarian language which says War and Do not open or it's your own fault.
They all then get to the hole each of them walking around it, while holding the coffin and then once the coffin is above the hole they then all just let it go and it roughly lands in the hole. They all then take up shovels and then they burry the coffin quickly, despite the dampness and then rain it didn't slow them down. The hole is then completely covered and then the all are about to leave but before they go the priest with them says a few final words. "Ancient evil has followed us into this new world. In our foolish minds we have thought we have prevented doomsday. But I'm afraid we only delayed the inevitable even now. The prophecy of doomsday is at hand!"
Lightning strikes and a lot of the disciples are scared.
"It is one demon that will bring forth the end of the world on us all. It is the demon that will create five pillars of blood and open one of the seven gates of hell to release the godless creatures that will destroy us all. The demon Dhamathrax will rise once more!"
Lightning strikes again and once again the people are frightened.
"Fear not my fellow Demon Hunters. For there is a prophecy that it will be three mortals of angel blood that will bring balance one more. And we must hope that no one ever discovers these ancient scrolls that are the key to one of the 7 gates of hell."
One of the Disciples say, "But what if someone does discover it."
The preacher says, "Then may god have mercy on their souls.
They all then leave as there is a series of lightning bolts which tears thought the sky right near the unmarked grave, along with three more beside it.
1975 in Parkland, Washington
There are a couple of people at night digging into the unmarked graves in the Carpenter Hill Pet Cemetery. Both of them have practically dug a mine with serious of tunnels underground. One of them in some sort of miners uniform and is wearing a helmet with a light on he then stops digging his spot.
Sid says, "Hey, Mouth are you sure we're digging the right place."
Mouth then says, "Will you just shut your trap and keep digging, according the old pioneer map they should be at this spot."
"So how much do you think we'll get for a mummy?"
"5 million dollars each it depends on how old these bloody mummies are."
"Well first we'll find the mummies, sell them to a museum,
split the money, and vacation in Hawaii to get some sun and babes."
"Sounds good."
Suddenly they uncover the four coffins. Each of them looking corrupt looking, from the moss, maggots and worms slightly crawling on them. And which have different but faded Samarian inscriptions translated, War, Plague, Famine, and Death.
Mouth says, "So the legend is true. After a secret society slayed the four horsemen of the apocalypse during the final years of the Black Plague of Europe. They journeyed to the new world and burred them in these coordinates which lead to the Old Pioneer Pet Cemetery in Parkland. They say that the burial of these four put a curse upon this area."
Sid says, "I can understand that about Parkland, Tacoma."
Mouth says, "C'mon help me."
Mouth then gets one of the sides of the coffin.
"I don't like this; maybe we should just leave them. I have a bad feeling about this."
Mouth says, "Man don't go on about that superstitious shit. I know that according to the legend that these fur one day will rise up again and reign destruction upon the earth. But c'mon you can't believe that shit. Look these guys are dead see."
Mouth kicks the coffin a couple of times. "They're dead, we are going to be rich now help me."
Sid says, "But…" "Look I don't want to hear any more form you now shut your bloody trap. Just shut up."
Both carry the coffin and then see someone in front to them. Mouth says, "Hey, who the hell are you?"
Suddenly both of them get two holes produced on their foreheads and blood explodes thought the back for their heads, then both drop down and there is a smoking gun from the perpetrator with some sort of tattoo on his wrist which looks like a devil. The perpetrator says, "Thank you gentlemen for your service, the Inferno Scepter is eternally grateful. He then holsters his gun and signals for the rest to come to the tunnels to haul up the coffins above ground.
Present day, a TV screen then turns on and it then has the symbol of an eagle for the local Parkland, Washington news program KCNS. There is then a woman in a red suit with blond hair really young reading off of the script and some images on a graphic.
KCNS Reporter says, "The problem with crime has undeniably grown to about 90% around the world this year. The string of robberies, burglaries from department stores, malls, and even local homes has gone completely out of control. The murder rate has skyrocketed at an alarming rate, most are of an unusual nature and the perpetrators have still not been identified. Police are completely overwhelmed and they say there has been no progress in controlling the problem at this time. Police say the National Guard may need to be called in.
Suddenly the TV turns off and the hand is from someone in a priest garment and he is behind the desk he is then facing someone on the other side of the desk whom is dressed up in a ninjtisu outfit, all black from head to toe with a combat vest full of weapons and tools, he has a his mask covering his face completely and a dark visor covering the eyes. The Priest then gets up from the desk and so does the ninja and then both of them come out of his office. They both drive in a black car and go over to some sort of big house in front with a gate in front and once they park they both go through the gate and into the house. The priest then escorts the ninja to the upstairs and opens the door where there are scientists/wizards are running the equipment. The priest then guides him to a circular spot where the computerized equipment surrounds it, and there are is one with a couple of electrical rods and lights. The ninja Michael then looks at it all.
Michael says, "What is all this."
The priest St. Peter then explains.
"In the 1920s a scientist by the name of Platorious in this very house discovered a concept of harnessing and creating portals to enter another dimension. Ever since that time we have continued that scientists work and have perfected it ever since in theory any way."
"Theory?"
"Don't worry, we have the coordinates to the spot as to where Gabriel is."
"But what about all the madness that is happening out there, I can't just leave."
"Gabriel is the only one who has one of the keys to putting an end to this madness."
Suddenly on of the sirens go off and the scientist that is at the console then looks up. "Sir, it's starting."
St. Peter then looks at Michael and then says, "Step inside that area it creates the circle the pentagram of power. It is the doorway to hell."
Michael is about to step in. Another one of the scientists on a console then pushes other buttons. The circle appears and starts turning into a vortex. But St. Peter stops him has a hand on his shoulder.
"Are you sure about this son."
Michael then nods. "I'm sure, dad."
Michael has a hand on top of his and then Michael he then goes into the circular area. St. Peter says, "If you see the brightest light that is your only way out of the place. So good luck in finding Gabriel." Michael then mutters silently. "Gabriel." Suddenly as Michael is in position there is a bright blue light that is on his feet and Michael fall down the vortex. Multiple images and colors are flashing before Michael's eyes and he feels himself sliding through really fast as if he was on some sort of roller coaster. Then there is a big red star that forms and everything goes black.
Michael then suddenly opens his eyes and he stands up and looks all around him and sees he's surrounded by desert. He is disoriented and he then looks up and sees the red star in the sky suddenly then shrink till it's gone. He then looks toward his envoirment once more and sees how desolate and sandy, there are some trees in places but most of them are dead or dry. Michael then brings out a sigh and says to himself. "So where do I start." Michael looks at his wrist compass then bands it a little with the back of his hand, he sees it's moving multiple directions. He then sighs. "Well looks like I'll have to do this the hard way." He then walks the desert toward the forest area, in search of some trace of Gabriel.
Meanwhile another guy, a twenty something former PLU collage student, whom is a bit scrawny, with a goatee, brown hair named Chris Weiner he is wandering throughout the deserts of Hell searching for any life, until he finds a forest and has been for at least an hour wandering, searching for Gabriel, his kidnapped love Sofia, or even a way out; but hasn't seen or heard anything since. Chris was getting frustrated and worried about what is turning out to be a hopeless situation.
Chris talks to himself, "Stupid Gabriel , stupid Hell gate, it was never my idea in the first place to even go through the Hell gate, all I wanted to do was get Sofia back, go home and be an Accountant. But nooooo Gabriel and his bullshit rightness has to drag me with him to save the world and trap us here for all eternity, where the hell is he anyway and what the hell am I going to do."
He then comes up to an open area with a hill and he runs up and looks up at the sky yelling.
"Why God, why are you punishing me, what have I ever done to you? All I wanted to be was an accountant, do you like have a new commandment for that!" "YES!"
Chris is puzzled by what he hears.
"Is that you god?"
"NO!"
Chris is now a little nervous.
"Then who the hell are you."
"In about one minute there will be a demon behind you back
and I will say look behind you."
"Oh, give me a break that's the oldest trick in the book, you
think I'm really going to look behind me, if I do I bet
there's going to be some creature that will pounce on me
the minute my eyes are turned right."
"Right"
"But then of course we say it's not a bluff, only someone
stupid would not consider that, well I got you and so all
I have to do is look behind me and see a demon and so
I'll just look and see."
Suddenly Chris sees one of the demons. Whom is in some sort of army fatigue paints and a black tank top. Is purple skinned and has horns and grotesque face and he looks at Chris and is grinning with razor sharp teeth.
Chris is shaking in his boots.
"Well shit, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.!"
Michael still in a far part of the forest suddenly hears the cry.
Michael says, "Is that a girl screaming?"
Michael suddenly runs toward the source of the noise, Chris still screams and a demon behind Chris then just chloroformed by the demon behind him. Chris soon regains consciousness and sees another person whom is also twenty something, with a leather jacket and paints, a red head band that covers his the top of his head along with forehead, has a beard with brown hair.
Gabriel all tied up as well to a tree and a group of at least five demons are now heating up a caldron.
Chris says, "What the fuck is going on Gabriel?
Gabriel says, "We've been knocked out and captured by demons."
"Why?"
"I'm not so sure you really want to find out or even want to stick around to find out."
He sees the five demons all in some black army fatigue paints and black tank tops and different colored skin Red, Blue, Yellow, Orange, Purple; one of them is heating up a marking poker. The five demons laugh and the leader of the pack whom is yellow skinned comes up to the two.
Demon Leader says, "Once we mark you with this, you'll be our property once the king sees our marks on you. He'll make you do everything we want you to do for all eternity. So, who shall be the first hmmmmm?"
Gabriel whispers to Chris. Don't worry I'm getting myself loose, I'll try to stall them for as long as I can.
Gabriel then turns his head and talks to Lead Demon. "Listen shit face, you'll never make us your slaves we don't find you the least bit attractive."
The Demon Leader is taken aback by the insult, Gabriel keeps dishing them out while he is cutting though his ropes. Gabriel says, "You look like a piece of shit with Chekata Bananas sticking out from the shit." Gabriel continues to talk while he is cutting though the ropes with the rough bark of the tree that has now successfully cut off a few strands.
Demon Leader says, "Arguhhhh, you're really pushing it pal."
"You know it you and your friends went to the bathroom
and you all shared the same stall, then you would be the
main problem in polluting our sewer eco system."
Gabriel then suddenly cuts though a strand or two more but still needs more time to cut. Chris then gets really nervous.
Chris says, "What are you doing? Don't involve me in this No no
Gabriel is just kidding guy's man, you know killed may 'be one
Too many demons in his everyday job."
The five demons start to get really steamed up and Chris gets even more nervous.
"Oh hey guys (In a practical manner) come on. I'm not the
guy you want you'll want to brand and kill Gabe not me."
The five demons start advancing.
Chris gets really really nervous, his eyes full of fright and sweat.
"Look I never killed anyone in my life. "
Gabriel pretend coughs. "Liar."
The five demons started advancing more.
Demon Leader then looks at the both of them with a maddening look on his face, and he has his hand on his chin thinking with his other hand on a heated up rod. And then he has a wicked grin on his face and both of them don't like the look, Gabriel is rapids cutting thought the ropes despite there still being more strands and isn't sure he'll cut all the strands on time..
Demon Leader says, "I think I'll kill….."
Starts pointing the rod left and right and finally picks someone.
"Chris sweating a waterfall. Me why me pick him. "
Nods his head toward Gabe.
Gabriel says, "No, kill him!"
Nods his head toward Chris.
Chris says, "No, kill him!"
Nods his head toward Gabe again.
"You cowardly bastard face it like a man!"
Demon Leader says, "And, indeed you shall."
Aims rod down Chris's groin then charges in.
Chris screams.
CHRIS
Ahhhhhhhh.
Suddenly a ninja pops out and executes a flying jump sidekick that homes in on the rod like a heat seeking missile. Then the rod hits the groin of a blue demon and he screams in pain and goes down like a log. The Ninja then lands someplace and the Demon Leader sees him.
Demon Leader says, "Who the hell are you?!"
Michael says, "Spider Man bitch!"
"Get him."
The Demon Leader takes another hot rod, Michael misdirects the Leader rod by executing a outer crescent kick. Due to how heavy and tall the rod is it easily gets misdirected and hits the
The Red Demon running toward Michael in another direction and it hits the demon in the face burning the guy's eye and flesh off and he goes down. Gabriel finally gets himself free and gets himself into the fight. The Demon Leader tries to take Michael at the Ninja one more time when he tries to stab at him with the rod. Michael avoids the rods and disarms him by grabbing his arm and fracturing it by stretching it and then with a palm strike hitting the elbow joint hard, then he twists his arm all the way toward the Demon Leader's back and tears it right off. Demon Leader screams in pain and frustration as it sees Michael has his arm.
Michael says, "Batter up."
Holds Demon's arm as if it were a baseball bat. The Demon Leader in frustration and anger then charges at Michael and at the right moment Michael hits the Demon Leader on the head with the arm. The Demon Leaders is decapitate and his head flies away high in the sky and out of sight. Baseball cheering noise is played and Michael is doing a little cheering dance.
Purple Demon says, "Were going to kill the both of you right now. We eat shit like you for breakfast."
Michael says, "Bring it on."
Gabriel comes to Michael's side.
Gabriel says, "Go ahead and try you camel fuckers."
Orange Demons says, "Ok, that does it."
Demon Purple and Orange both take out swords. Michael unsheathes one of his small katanas and throws it to Gabriel and Michael takes out his two sais and downs a few fancy movements. Gabriel then just goes into a stance. Orange and Purple demons start to attack. Gabriel and Michael fight with the two demons for as Gabriel and Michael are constantly blocking and striking at them with their weapons. Suddenly as the orange demon is striking at Michael with a combo of attacks it is about to execute an overhead strike but then Michael executes a cross block with the sais and gets the right one with it's fork end interlocked with the sword to keep it from moving and then Michael strikes the demon with the butt end of the handle three times, first strike to the eye socket area which breaks a little bone, then the hand to disarm him of the sword, and then the neck hard where the demon chokes. Gabrel back aways from the purple demon's combo of strikes and blocks them with his katana. The purple demon then goes for a running thrust but Gabrel blocks and gets out of the way. The orange demon then retracts his claws and goes for Michael but Michael see him and then trips him up. The actions of both Gabrel and Michael misdirect the Demons own weapons into killing each other. As the purple demon penetrates the orange demon straight thought the heart, the orange demon digs into his midsection with his retracted claws.
Gabriel says, "Since you love your friend so much why don't you join him?
Both Michael and Gabriel push the two demons together and the two demons kill one another with their own weapons.
Gabriel congratulates Michael's work.
Gabriel says, "Whoever you are thank you for saving my life."
Michael says, "It was nothing."
"Who are you and whom do you work for?"
"St. Peter from the Brotherhood of the Torch sent me.
I'm here to get you out. We must find the brightest light and get out of her.
Do you know where it is?"
'Um, sorry but we closed it."
"What, you stupid asshole that was our only way out!"
"We had to close the gate because the minions of Hell would be unleashed."
"Hell is already unleashed back home it makes no difference,
why didn't you just use a remote control to turn the Hell Gate off?"
Chris says, "You mean we came to Hell for nothing? (Begins to wine in hopelessness and still tied up.)
Gabriel says, "Shut up Chris, merc you have no right to call me a
stupid asshole; you're the stupid asshole."
Michael says, "OK OK you're not a stupid asshole." (come near Gabriel) "You're a shit head!"
"All right now you crossed the line."
Both characters fight and wrestle a little but kinda pathetically and almost childish as both are just grabbing on each other moving left and right as well as just slapping each other's hands as if their dog paddling, but Gabriel gets the upper hand and Gabriel manages to pull off the ninja's mask.
Gabriel says, "Michael, Brother, god damn you and your voice sinthizers."
Chris says, "Brother?"
There is a handsome but stumbled young handsome face, with a scar on his left eye, jet black hair, twenty something.
Michael says, "Hello brother long time no see.
Both characters look at one another for 30 sec
"I've got no time for you right now."
"Me neither."
Both say it to one another with scorn. But then snap out of it and
Get back to business.
Gabriel says, "What did you mean it makes no difference?
Michael he then looks down then at Gabriel.
Michael says, "By the time you close the hell portal, there was just utter chaos everywhere,
We have no idea where it came from.
"Dhramathrax."
"What?"
"When we close the portal he must've escaped may 'be even with Sophia.'
"Dhramathrax, if I ever find him I'll shove my katana so
far up his….."
Chris says, "Wait Sophia is still alive."
Chris then suddenly remembers he's still tied up.
Chris says, "Hey, will someone untie me."
Michael comes to him, he then finds Gabriel's katana lying down near a tree, picks it up, comes to the back of the tree Chris is tied to and then cuts the ropes with one swing of the sword. Chris then rubs his wrists from the tightness of the ropes and then Michael sheaths the sword and he throws it to Gabriel, Gabriel catches it and throws Michael's sword back to him. Chris then stands up and comes to them.
Chris says, "So Gabriel do you have a plan?
Gabriel says, "Well that's the problem I don't."
"Oh fuck were going to die…."
Gabriel slaps Chris in the face.
Gabriel says, "Were already dead stupid. Or should I say you're
dead since you're already a vampire."
Mike takes out his collapsible Uzi from behind his combat vest from a Velcro holster he is easily able to tear off, the Uzi looks like a simple metal rod but there is a gun muzzle hole on one end. Michael then takes his hand near the bottom of that end and unfolds the bottom of that end to form a handle going to the middle and he then takes the handle with his left hand and has his right hand on the top of the Uzi to steady it and shoots. Chris is hit by a bunch of bullets and he is on his knees.
Chris says, Ow, what the f…
Then someone else wearing a black trench coat, hat, sunglasses, suddenly comes and shoots Chris with two silver magnums and Chris falls down.
Gabriel says, "Mike, Jim, what the hell will you both stop doing that!"
Michael says, "Sorry reflex action." He holsters his Uzi.
Silent Jim whom talks in an Agent Smith like monotone says, "Subconscious habit. He Smiles sneakily and then twirls the magnums and holsters them.
Gabriel says, "Silent Jim hey I thought you died I seen you die."
Silent Jim says, "Remember I exist outside of time."
"How is it that you're in Hell?"
"I don't know?"
Michael then sees Silent Jim.
Michael says, "Jim you alive!"
Michael then give him half a hug despite him not hugging back.
Silent Jim says, "Touching."
Michael says, "Sorry, not your think."
"It's been a long time Mike."
"Likewise may 'be we can find some time to talk."
Gabriel then comes between them.
Gabriel says, "Alright you two, time for business, we've got to find the head honcho of this place.
Silent Jim says, "El Diablo."
"Yes, if we find him then maybe, just maybe he might tell us
if there is a way out of here."
Chris gun wounds then suddenly heal from his vampire powers and he suddenly stands up.
And in a panicky tone he says, "Sounds more like an idea you'd have if you have no more good ideas."
Gabriel says, "Jim, punch Chris."
"What!"
Jim punches Chris, Chris stagers then falls to the ground.
Gabriel says, "Thank you, Jim. We better get a move on before more nasty
cronies find us.
Michael then picks Chris up and then all four of them Michael, Gabriel, Silent Jim, and Chris they all begin their trek throughout the desolate forest.
