Chapter 7: Marleybone

And so, Trevor made his way to Marleybone. Most likely by accident, Krokopatra had told Trevor the specific location of where she had shipped the sarcophagus to. It was in the Royal Museum. Naturally, that's the first location he went to. Inside, he saw the curator of the museum, Clancy Pembroke. He wouldn't allow Trevor to see the sarcophagus even if the Krokonomicon was in it. The only way he'd be allowed to would be if he got permission from the mayor of Marleybone. He was in Digmoore Station. Once there, he found Mayor Pimsbury.

He informed Trevor that the Royal Museum was protected from most magic. Malistaire, of course, already knew this so he had a different plan up his sleeve. He'd have to break in without magic. Regardless that it was protected, the mayor wouldn't let Trevor see the sarcophagus until the streets were ridden of the gang uprising. Specifically the O'Leary gang. The one who was working on the case about the gang was none other than Sherlock Bones.

Sherlock told Trevor that he had heard cries for help in Hyde Park. Trevor helped everyone he could there and finally someone said that someone named Baxter could help. Sherlock knew Baxter very well and told Trevor that he could be found on Chelsea Court. After looking around there, he found clockworks holding him hostage. After defeating them, Trevor brought Baxter back with Sherlock. That's when Baxter told them everything.

He was just in the Ironworks, walking around, when suddenly, the leader of the O'Leary gang, Pops O'Leary told his men to go capture him. The Ironworks would have to be the place for Trevor to check. It might have been able to answer all of their questions.

Trevor met up with Baxter once inside the Ironworks. Baxter last saw Pops go through two locked doors. He knew where both the keys were. The O'Leary Nappers and Nails O'Leary had them. After defeating them all, Trevor used the keys to get through to the other side. There was a secret door which Baxter said Pops was behind but to get to him, Trevor would have to defeat Brady the Sneak to retrieve the secret knock, allowing him to enter. As he was told, he defeated him, got he knock, entered the door, and came face to face with Pops O'Leary. They got into a battle and Trevor, of course, defeated him. Right when he did, Pops informed him of something troubling. Even with him gone, the raid would go on and the O'Leary would allow criminals to escape from Scotland Yard. When Trevor returned to Sherlock, that's where he made him go next.

Inside Scotland Yard was Sherlock's assistant Watson. Watson told him the real reason behind the O'Leary's attack. They were trying to free Meowiarty under Malistaire's orders. Meowiarty would be able to do Malistaire's dirty work and steal the Krokonomicon for him! Everything was falling into place for Malistaire and it was up to Trevor to stop him. Meowiarty was being held in Newgate Prison so Trevor would have to go there.

When Trevor spoke to Officer Ness, the police officer inside of Newgate Prison, he told him that Meowiarty was being held in the top of the second tower and that he'd have to go there to make sure Malistaire wouldn't. Trevor ran as fast as he could towards the tower, avoiding all the undead that Malistaire had summoned to distract anybody who wished to stop him. By the time he got there, Meowiarty had already escaped and was running across the rooftops. Trevor went where the police officer told him too and he found Meowiarty. He sent one of his minions out which Trevor defeated easily and caught up to Meowiarty again.

This time, Meowiarty had a friend with him: Malistaire. They both went off running this time, letting you fight more minions. As Trevor continued to chase him, caught up to him one last time and made Trevor fight yet one more minion. All in the meantime, they disappeared. When Trevor defeated the minion, he returned to Watson who told him that he knew who was behind the clockworks who were holding Baxter earlier and were working for Pops O'Leary. The one creating them was called Dr. Katzenstein and he was in his lab. Watson made sure that Trevor would stop him so right after Trevor made his way through the lab, he fought Dr. Katzenstein, defeated him, and found a clockwork. It wasn't quite finished yet but it managed to say a few words. Meowiarty was in The Big Ben.

Trevor returned to Watson who told him to go find Sherlock Bones (who he was sure had already heard the news) who was in the Royal Museum. Sure enough, he was, and he was with Clancy Pembroke. Meowiarty had already broken in the museum and stolen the Krokonomicon. He had also locked himself in the Big Ben tower. Luckily, there were keys to open it on each side of the tower. Trevor got them and entered the tower. Once inside, he made his way to the top floor and found Meowiarty and Malistaire. Meowiarty gave the Krokonomicon to Malistaire and he disappeared. Then, Trevor fought Meowiarty.

Of course that was Malistaire's plan all along. It was all just a distraction. Malistaire now had the Krokonomicon. To revive Sylvia, he'd have to go to Dragonspyre, the location of which Sylvia was buried. Before he got to Dragonspyre, however, he'd have to get the spiral key.

Trevor, after defeating Meowiarty, naturally went and spoke to Merle for his next quest. He knew he had to defeat Malistaire but he didn't know how so he figured Merle would. When Trevor told Merle about everything that happened, Merle knew that to get to Dragonspyre, Malistaire would have to get the spiral key first. The only person known to have possession of the Dragonspyre spiral key was the Emperor Yoshihito of Mooshu. Even if Malistaire had already gotten the spiral key, Trevor wouldn't be able to chase him there without his own spiral key. So that's where his next stop would be. The Jade Palace. In Mooshu.
