CHAPTER 7: THE PROPASY
Michael and R.M. go straight to Demon Hunter headquarters which is a church in Parkland really a front for the underground base as both of them go to the confession booths and they then activate a secret button and then a door slides open for both of them and they both come in and go down the stairs till they reach another door and it leads them to a lobby hall that is.
is really big and vast full of activity and everyone, there are multiple screens in places and a multitude of dispatchers operating the terminals. But there is something different as both are holding hands together they then come to the war room and both release each other's hands immediately not wanting to spill the beans about their relationship yet, everyone is surrounding this tabletop that is a hug touch screen pad device. Michael notices one member is missing.
"Where's Chris what happened to him?"
Gabriel says, "Chris has been captured by the Scepter of the New Order. And currently we are tracking him right now. By the way, what were you two doing last night? Cause back at the hotel I couldn't get much sleep last night. In your room it sounded like there was a wild party going on and a lot of loud moaning. I swore there had to be another person in your room Michael?"
Michael blushes a bit in embarrassment.
"What?! Oh, no I and R.M. were just, just…"
Both R.M. and Michael look at each other shyly, wondering how to avoid embarrassment.
R.M. she puts her two index fingers together, and looks at them while talking and blushes a bit.
"Just had friendly conversation with each other that's all."
Gabriel raises an eyebrow.
"Yeah well, it was a bit of a loud….conversation. Well I guess a platonic related conversation is ok. Just keep it down next time. Besides I heard the same kind of noises from Silent Jim's room."
Both Michael and R.M. express surprised looks. And Silent Jim and Wanda they both have shy looks at each other and then looks away trying not to seem suspicious even though both are slightly failing at it.
St. Peter says, "Gabriel my son."
"St. Peter it's so good to see you."
Both hug and then separate.
"So, what's up?"
"I fear the worst has finally come to pass."
"How can that be?"
"Take a look at the screen."
Everyone takes a look at the big computer screen. And chaotic riots and destruction are shown.
"Every day, there is chaos. People are destroying building, looting, and even thrashing their own neighborhoods. It's an evil influence that has affected these people, and it's spreading like a plague. And more and more monsters are resurfacing fast. There's something I must show you guys come with me."
They all go with St. Peter to the archives underground which is basically a super library.
But they go toward an area with a lot of space and find many walls that are hieroglyphics.
Michael says, "I don't understand why you took us here."
St. Peter says, "These are our only records of the Demon Hunters origin. Which ranges back when mankind began to rule the earth. There is a prophesy that we
have always believed in for years."
"So, what's the story with it?"
"My friends I'm afraid it is time I told you the whole tale about the Demon Hunters."
Peter guides them through the hieroglyphics.
"Before the beginning of man, demons and creatures of the night used to rule this earth, made the soil of the Earth red with the constant killing and cruelty. But when man came and god realized the mistake he made he banished those foul creatures to Hell and the darkness. But these creatures became jealous and spiteful of our intervention so they came out of certain tears in the Hell dimension."
The all look at the images with curiosity and intrigue.
"Throughout the years created terror and enslaved man with fear. As early as the 14th century there was a king of the demons named Dhramathrax. He took over most of modern Europe and was about to reign conquest over the world, we were this close to going out forever until an ordinary farmer boy one time saw a distant traveler being attacked by demons. The farmer boy fought off the demons and discovered this traveler was actually a female angel, sent by God to help mortals and combat evil. The Farm boy decided to help the angel on her quest, the two eventually fell in love and their child was to be the first demon hunter with the blood of the angels. Your ancestors Gabriel and Michael."
Both Gabriel and Michael wore looks as if this was new taking them aback but pay attention again.
"This Child when he came of age soon went on a world journey to find the strongest warriors that can combat evil. And that was when the first Demon Hunter Organization was born, their group combated evil everywhere and were the ones that imprisoned Dhramathrax eventually. But the war between good and evil never ends; so generation after generation our clan fought even Lewis and Clark were Demon Hunters. Their expedition was really a mission to track down and destroy the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse that were trying to end the world. They were found in the state of Washington and killed. From there on the battle between good and evil waged on from turn of the century America, World War 1 and 2, Vietnam, Desert Storm, War on Terrorism and now."
Gabriel is still processing the details and is just a bit overwhelmed but he looks
steadily at St. Peter.
"But what does that have to do with us."
Michael he shakes his head also a little taken aback by the details.
"Lewis and Clark Demon Hunters that's too weird."
St. Peter strokes his beard.
"Simply that this hieroglyphic wall monastery that we created isn't just about chronological history but it's a prophesy with your family involved."
Michael says, "What is this prophesy."
"Simply this, that in a tragic event full of fire and death three angel warriors will arise to combat evil and to where the archangel will have enough power to destroy Dhramathrax and his war on humanity. Trouble is with this prophesy the third child is missing supposed to be the Archangel while the other two are right here with us."
Gabriel looks down sadly.
"Our baby brother was lost in the fire."
St. Peter shakes his head in a no response.
"That is where you are wrong. You see as you two were evacuated out of the house and driven away, I went back in to help your father he was unable to make it out due to his injuries but he made me promise to keep this child safe. I saw this child was special and I couldn't care for it, I had to find parents far away that can care for the baby and that it has to remain undiscovered until the time comes."
Michael is surprised by the details.
"How can we find him then?"
"There may be no way to however the baby had a scar of a cross on his right hand and from the records you new recruit Chris has that same mark on the same hand."
Both Gabriel and Michael there in utter shock.
Gabriel says, "Your saying that that pitiful excuse for a human being
could be our lost baby brother."
St. Peter nods.
Gabriel and Michael yell, "Noooooooooo!"
Silent Jim then has a slight smile on his face.
"Well they seem happy."
Everyone then started to come back up to the war room. St. Peter leads the conversation while pulling up a map of Tacoma, Washington on the touch screen table.
"To get down to business, since your absence team, Dhramathrax has leaded a campaign of terror throughout Seattle. No matter our efforts he just keeps getting stronger, his psychic influence has spread like cancer toward the wicked, devoted, or weak minded.
He is gaining an army and I doubt we will be able to stop him. But even worse he has resurrected the four horsemen from one of the bases of the Infernal Spector located somewhere in Parkland, Tacoma."
Gabriel says, "How is it possible we have lost track of those four?
"Our records of those coffins have been lost or destroyed somehow, so
we lost track of them until now." We know is Dhramathrax has killed in certain areas.
St. Peter shows them on the map all the marked locations.
Michael says, "Wait a minute, don't those dots form something?"
Michael then connects the dots on the map by tapping the pencil feature and he traces the dots
and the dots surprisingly form a five star pentagram.
St. Peter says, "Oh, no."
Gabriel says, "What."
"I just remembered another prophesy."
"Which would that be?"
"The apocalypse, according to the prophecy when the four
horsemen of the apocalypse rise, a demon would sign seven pillars
of blood forming the sign of the devil. The force of evil will once
again reclaim its lost kingdom. This kind of prophesy was in Revelations
in the Bible, in revelations one of the prophecies was that there would
be a battle between good and evil. And that an antichrist would come
the number of the beast's name is 666."
Jeff says, "Whoa that's deep (Burps loud) look is there a fucking point to this story."
Gabriel looks at Jeff madly.
"Do you mind this is serious business?"
R.M. has her fingers on her temples.
"We don't stand a chance against those odds."
Wanda says, "Chances off remotely being successful of fighting off
countless odds are 1-70,081"
Gabriel says, "Listen I have a plan that's crazy but it's the only way we will win."
Michael says, "What would that be?"
"Well I'm afraid men that were going to have to team up with
The Scepter of the Infernal Order."
Everyone complains about that solution.
Michael says "Are you crazy. Teaming up with those guys!"
"Look it's the only way we stand a chance toward that army of darkness. Right now Dhramathrax has now raised his army of the damned. We don't have much time; we have to locate the order now. Plus, we don't have much time we must find Chris."
St. Peter says, "I have just the thing for you."
This here is our super computer. It always finds demon activity. When they make the first move, the computer zero in on the actions going on, gives us the coordinates, and we hunt anyone we want to down.
Jeff says, "Like the computer on Batman."
St. Peter looks at him with slight irritation.
"Yeah, like that computer. Only ours I a lot better than theirs."
"Oh."
Wanda she comes to the super computer and rapidly types.
"Ah oh, looks like we have some activity going on with the Scepter of the New Order. In the Chemical West Plant. It looks as though one of our men is in some kind of trouble. Gabriel I want to take at least five volunteers for this mission. Let's go to the ma. (Map shows up on computer.) Location at 11666 Mulholland Drive."
Gabriel says, "OK, people let's move."
Michael says, "What about Chris?"
"What about him?"
Michael looks at his brother puzzled by his behavior, and then follows him.
"All right all right we'll find him he is our brother after all. To the Batmobile."
Silent Jim says, "We don't own one."
"Don't you ever shut up?"
