Calvin, Hobbes, and the mysterious figure kept on running until they reached an old church. The mystery person walked up to the door and knocked on it to the tune of "In the Hall of the Mountain King". Half of the door opened up and a man in white robes answered "Yes?"
The mystery person took off its hood. Calvin and Hobbes gasped to see that it was a girl!
"It is I, Kayla."
"Very good. You may enter."
The other half of the door opened and Calvin, Hobbes, and Kayla were led inside. The church might have been old on the outside, but on the inside, it looked like it hadn't aged a day. The pews were made of fresh wood, the smell of scented candles filled the room, and at the front there was an altar with a big cross behind it. The windows had stained glass and there were people in white robes everywhere.
"Welcome to the Holy Resistance, gentleman" Kayla greeted "I am Kayla, I am a priestess." She led the two up to the altar were a short, white-robed man with a long black beard was standing "This is our leader, Michael."
"Greetings, young ones. "said Michael "What brings you here?"
Calvin and Hobbes began to explain the whole story "Our babysitter Rosalyn was watching us tonight, and we tried to figure out why she was so grumpy. So we looked through her purse and found this talisman-"
"Wait! You found a talisman? Could it have been the Broodseeker?"
Hobbes remembered that in one of the notes, Charlie made a reference to it being called that "Yes! That's what it's called!"
"The Broodseeker is an ancient relic passed on through generations. It is said that the Broodseeker has the unimaginable power to summon demons."
"The note said to be careful with it…" though Hobbes.
"We must find that talisman immediately. But for now, please continue the story, Calvin."
"OK, so Rosalyn caught us, threw us in a box, and took us to her cult where they were going to sacrifice us to appease a demon named Baal-"
Michael interrupted again "Baal is one of the three Prime Evils, along with Diablo and Mephisto, his brothers."
"Yes, and right when we were going to get burned up, Kayla saved us."
"That's very interesting. Now, we must devise a plan to raid the cult hideout and destroy the Broodseeker before the Prime Evils are awakened and the world burns."
Michael walked over to a big glass case behind his podium. He opened it up and brought out a big, golden sword and an equally big staff with small black feathers attached to its sides and a big green orb on the top of it.
"These are the sacred weapons of the Holy Resistance." He gave the sword to Calvin and the staff to Hobbes "Use these to slay the evil cultists and destroy the Broodseeker."
"Woo hoo! I got a big sword!" exclaimed Calvin, swinging it around.
"Stop that!" bellowed Michael "These are tools of justice, not play-things!"
Calvin stopped and stood still.
"How do I use this thing?" asked Hobbes.
"Ah, I almost forgot."
Kayla walked over to a bookshelf and took out a big brown book. She brought it to Hobbes "This is the Great Tome of Spells. With this, you can cast any spell at any time."
Calvin eyed Hobbes with envy.
"And for Calvin" said Kayla "I have something extra for him." She reached into her robe pocket and pulled out a small, crystal blue jewel "This is the Sapphire of Ice. It's a little chipped, but with this, you can harness the power of ice to defeat your enemies." Kayla took the sword from Calvin and embedded the sapphire into the handle.
"Alright, let's kick some demon butt!" Calvin and Hobbes said together. They ran off to the door.
"Before you go!" yelled Michael "We have one last thing for you!"
Calvin and Hobbes stopped. Several acolytes walked over and put white robes on them.
"These robes are the symbol of the Holy Resistance, and a sign that no evil can corrupt human will. Wear these at all times."
Calvin and Hobbes opened the door to leave. As they stepped out of the church, Michael ran up to them "And another thing: If you destroy the Broodseeker, you will forget everything you have seen, and time will rewind itself back to when your troubles first began. From there, you can change your future."
"Thank you, sir." smiled Hobbes "We will not let you down!"
The two friends ran off into the forest and made their way back to the graveyard.
"I know you won't" whispered Michael.
