A/N: Okay, if you remember in the last chapter, Paul and Cybil died at the multiple hands of the mannequin spider, and they freed a girl named Suki from the spider's web. Now the Darkness is coming and our heroes must seek refuge before everything turns to metal again and the monsters start to come out. Enjoy!
Everyone followed Agamemnon through the streets running as the crows flew through the air and let out several 'Caws' throughout the air.
"Hurry!" Agamemnon shouted. The emergency sirens began blaring out and everyone tried their best to find shelter from the darkness. Agamemnon lead them through the graveyard and at the other end of it was a large stone church. Sherman stopped when he saw the church and looked up at it.
"Sherman! Hurry!" Heather said stopping and turning around to see Sherman standing. Everyone else stopped to see Sherman staring up at the church.
"Come!" shouted Agamemnon. Sherman paid close attention to the circular stained glass window above the door and he saw the symbol, the Halo of the Sun. the symbol of the Order.
"Sherman, come on! It's coming!" Penny said trying to persuade Sherman to keep running with them. Sherman then heard voices behind him and he turned around to see several people wearing black robes and gas masks run past him and up the stairs to head to this church.
"Sherman, come on" Suki said grabbing onto Sherman's wrist and having him follow her up the stairs along with the many others who were seeking refuge in the building. As they ran up the stairs, in the middle there stood Alessa and Dahlia.
"Do not join the others in that forsaken place for they are sinners, they are deceivers, they are damned" Dahlia said grabbing Peabody's wrist and stopping him from going any further up the stone stairs.
"We have to get inside" Peabody said breaking free from Dahlia's grip but then was caught by Alessa.
"No! She who's body and soul are dripping wet with hate and sin will bring you in and corrupt you with her hateful and spiteful ways. For she is the one who commands the people who tortured my poor child" Alessa told the beagle. A large piece of stone flew through the air and hit Alessa on her head, causing her to fall down to her knees and cover her face in pain.
"Filth and lies!" shouted Agamemnon, it was revealed he threw the stone at Alessa. Dahlia got down at her daughter's side to aid her.
"Hey! Stop it!" Patty shouted at Agamemnon. Sherman then ran over to Alessa and spoke to her.
"Alessa, listen to me" Sherman said. Alessa took her hands off her face and looked to Sherman.
"I've seen your son, I've seen Adrian" Sherman told her. Alessa was shocked to hear this.
"Sherman! Hurry!" Suki cried out.
"He's dead, isn't he?" Sherman asked. Alessa nodded and spoke again.
"You were born from your mother's womb, he was born from the ashes of what this place used to be" Alessa said to him.
"He looks exactly like me, why?" Sherman asked.
"It's coming!" Heather cried out to Sherman. Dahlia spoke.
"You lived the life he could have lived if only she hadn't taken his away because of her cruel ways and beliefs" Dahlia said. Sherman's eyes widened as soon as he realized something.
"That's it? That's what this is about isn't it? It wasn't just to find my mother. It was to destroy Grunion wasn't it? That's why he made us come here?" Sherman asked. The sky grew darker and darker.
"It was your destiny from the beginning, child. It always was" Alessa whispered before it went totally dark. Heather took out Peabody's flashlight and turned it on, giving everyone some form of light. Sherman and the others saw that everything around them turned to rust and those chips of rust levitated into the dark sky, causing them to turn from stone and grass to nothing but cold hard metal.
"Find him" Dahlia whispered to Sherman. The redheaded child nodded before running up the steps with the others. Agamemnon stayed behind holding another stone in his hand, getting ready to throw it at Dahlia and Alessa. Alessa got up and Dahlia held onto her arm, they looked with anger at Agamemnon.
"You spawned the dark one from your own flesh and blood. This is how sinners like you are rewarded!" Agamemnon said getting ready to throw the second stone. Dahlia and Alessa pointed at Agamemnon holding up their index fingers and their pinkie fingers up at him. The rust chips behind Agamemnon formed a larger being, it formed another Pyramid Head.
Meanwhile, Sherman, Heather, Suki, Peabody, Patty, and Penny were almost all the way up the stairs and arrived at the door of the church.
"Come on! We must get inside!" Peabody said urgently.
"Aaaaahhhhh! No! No! Noooooo!" they all heard a voice shout out. Everyone turned behind them to see Pyramid Head walking up the steps, holding Agamemnon by his throat and then stopped once he got to the top of the stairs.
"No! Please! I beg of you! Don't!" Agamemnon cried desperately. Pyramid Head snarled and held Agamemnon up in the air. He grabbed Agamemnon's robes and tore them off, leaving him completely naked.
"Oh God, no" Heather said with a look of distress on her face. Pyramid Head grabbed the skin on Agamemnon's chest and twisted it, causing the former Greek warrior to scream in pain. Then, with one hard yank, Pyramid Head yanked the skin off his body, Agamemnon was dead.
"No!" shouted Sherman. Penny grabbed Sherman's arm.
"Come on!" she said. Everyone ran inside. Pyramid Head through the skin of Agamemnon at the church door, leaving a bloody mess on the front. Once they were inside, they all kept panting with exhaustion.
"Oh thank God" Peabody said almost out of breath, trying to regain it.
"There they are!" a voice shouted. Everyone looked up to see a familiar face, Ms. Grunion wearing dark blue robes walking over towards them
"You?" Patty asked.
"Oh yeah it's me" Grunion said with a smirk walking over towards them. Out of nowhere, members of the Order came up from behind them and grabbed them.
"You, you monster" Sherman rasped.
"How am I the monster exactly young man?" asked Grunion getting down to Sherman's eye level.
"You murdered him! YOU MURDERED ADRIAN!" Sherman shouted trying to break free but the Order's members were too strong.
"He deserved it. He brought this once great world to ruins and now we struggle to rebuild everything he's wrecked along with his mother" Grunion said before smacking Sherman across his face.
"Don't you touch him again!" Peabody said struggling to break free.
"All the Order ever does is wreck things, you're just giving them reasons to do so. Stupid pathetic reasons that aren't even good ones" Heather said. Grunion growled and snapped her fingers. One of the Order's cloaked members gave Heather an elbow to her back and knocked her to the church's floor.
"Mom! No!" Sherman cried out with tears threatening to spring free from his eyes.
"You have the Seal, give it to us" Grunion ordered.
"Burn in Hell, witch" Sherman growled before spitting in Grunion's face. All the Order's members gasped at their leader's face being spat on by a mere seven year old. The older spiteful woman wiped the spit off her face and chuckled a bit.
"You say 'Burn in Hell', but don't you get it? We're already here. And you're not welcome" Grunion growled at the end of her sentence.
"Throw him back out into the darkness, we'll keep the others prisoners. As for the Seal, we'll wait until the darkness swallows him whole and we can just take it from him" Grunion ordered. The Order's members began dragging Sherman to the door.
"Don't you dare hurt him!" Suki called out struggling. Grunion smiled and chuckled again.
"Throw her out with him" she ordered. The church doors opened and they threw Sherman and Suki out, vulnerable to the darkness. Once they were out, the church doors shut and locked themselves.
"No! Mr. Peabody! Penny! Mom!" shouted Sherman, banging on the doors in tears. It was no use, now he and Suki were in the darkness, alone and vulnerable.
"Sherman, we can't get in. They've locked us out" Suki said. Sherman then remembered something that Dahlia had told him before running up the stairs.
"Find Him" Her words echoed in his head. Sherman took the page he took from the hospital's patient records book and looked at it.
"Now what are we gonna do?" Suki asked.
"We're gonna find Adrian Gillespie and find out why Grunion burned him. And then we save my family" Sherman said.
"Okay, and how do we do that?" Suki asked. Sherman turned around to face her.
"We go back to Alchemilla Hospital and find the room he stayed in, and that's where we're getting our answers" Sherman told her. Suki only nodded and let out a lone 'Alright' escape her lips. Sherman then saw something next to Adrian's room number on the paper and there was a red arrow that turned to the back of the page.
"What the...?" Sherman asked himself before turning the page over to see letters in red ink.
"Transferred to Brookhaven Asylum, room 302" Sherman read aloud.
"You're serious? We have to go to some mental hospital just to find this kid?" Suki asked in disbelief. Sherman looked up to her and nodded.
"We have to, we don't have another choice. Adrian may be the only one that can help me get my family out of there" Sherman told her.
"Come on, the more we stay outside, the more likely we're gonna get killed" Sherman said. The two began running towards their destination; Brookhaven Asylum.
