Description: The farm is down. The family and Peter must face the terrors beyond the farm. But they soon realize that the monsters that hunt by sound are not the only creatures that lurk beyond the sand path.
Peter
I stood in front of the three monsters I killed with Regan's help.
"Come on honey, we got to go," Evelyn said to Marcus.
"But the farm..." I said.
I didn't need Evelyn to explain anything further. As I walked outside, the barn was burnt down, the crops were destroyed, and so is the house. We couldn't stay there any longer. At that point, I went back inside to find Evelyn and her kids packing their stuff into their backpacks. Lee had made a sound-proof box with an oxygen mask for the baby to breathe. Evelyn placed the baby in the box. I still thought against it, but it kinda made sense since the baby will probably cry. I helped the family too by taking the shotgun along with the ammo and placed it in my bag.
"Where are we going?" Marcus said.
It was time for me to speak up.
"I help you guys escape," I said. "I promised Lee that."
We filled our backpacks with supplies. Regan brought her hearing aid along with a portable microphone. Then we set off.
Peter
As we made our way, sticking onto the sand path, we saw the sand trail ending in the middle of the woods. If I can just brush these leaves or sticks away, but Regan encouraged us to keep going. Evelyn made her first step. It didn't make a sound. But I made careful steps without needing to go on the sand path.
Peter
We then arrived at the trainyard. The monsters made a hole in one train above us. It must've made a hole in the fence, Evelyn went inside it. I noticed a tripwire in front of her. I tried to stop her, but it was too late.
Evelyn triggered a sound trap made out of soda cans and beer bottles. Instantly, we started running.
FLASHBACK...
We open to a flashback before Peter arrived at Nevada and Day 1 of the invasion. Everything seemed pretty normal. Evelyn was driving in her car with her two sons. Until...
"Mom?" Beau said.
"It's okay, honey..." Evelyn said.
"Mom!" Marcus said.
A large creature jumped out from the sky. No one knew where it came from. People ran for their lives. The family got out of their car and ran as well. Meanwhile, Lee and Regan also heard the news and hid at home.
"What's going on?" Lee said.
"I don't know!" Evelyn said.
Peter
We ran as fast as we could. Suddenly, someone popped out of the bushes. He held a gun in front of us. Obviously, he was going to rob us. Another survivor came out from hiding behind a wall.
"What should we do to them, Boris?" This survivor said.
What? He's talking? But sound monsters...
"Please, I have a family..." Evelyn pleaded.
"Wrong answer, miss!" The man said, knocking down Evelyn.
"Get your hands off her!" I said, readying the shotgun.
But another gun was placed on the back of my head, forcing me to stop.
"Throw the boy in the pit! As for the rest of the family, we'll think about that later!" Boris ordered.
The first thing one of Boris's goons did was to check the box, they found a newborn baby inside.
"Check this out! They have a baby!" Boris said.
WHACK! Lights out. I don't know if it was Boris's fist or the butt of a gun, but it felt like one.
Peter
I regained consciousness. I found myself inside a cage in an arena modeled after a school.
"He's awake you know." A survivor said on the intercom.
"Thank you, Timothy. All you got to do is, survive." Boris said, on the intercom.
As the sirens blared, the cage surrounded me was lifted by a crane. I walked over to the birdbath in front of me and found a semi-automatic pistol that police officers commonly use. It was fully loaded. Next to the pistol was a small box of ammo. I took that as well. The door in front of me was electronically locked. Inside was one of the sound monsters.
"Holy crap!" I yelled, jumping back.
"Shall we give him a hint, Sarah? Your place or MINE." Boris said over the intercom.
The monster ran for the intercom. There was nothing I can do about the monster. Sure I had a gun, but it doesn't do jack squat on their armor. I looked around the area I was at. There were stereos playing circus music, which gave me an idea. I ran to the nearest one and turned the volume all the way up. The stereo emitted a high-pitched frequency which ripped off the monster's armor, allowing me to shoot its weak point.
"Holy shit, boss! The boy made it!" Timothy said on the intercom.
"And he shall receive a reward! A quick and painless death! Do it now, Tim!" Boris said.
I went to collect more ammo.
"Boss, we have a problem..."
"Oh fuck, they got out!" Sarah said as Timothy's cries for his life echoed over the intercom. "Boris, like, save me!"
"Bloody hell! Get back here this instant! Don't you know who I am?" Boris said. "You can't just barge out of here and- AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
The intercom went silent. I hit a button on the wall, revealing that Marcus, Evelyn, the baby, and Regan were okay.
"You survived that?" Evelyn said.
I nodded. I noticed a stash of gear along with our backpacks. We took our backpacks and looted Boris's stash. Serves him right for trying to kill us. As we were about to leave, I saw another survivor behind a locked door.
"Are they gone?" He said.
"Yeah, they are," I said.
"You got to help me out of here!" He said.
"I can't trust you," I said. "After what we've been through."
"But there are people out there worth saving," Evelyn said.
I couldn't argue with that. I took the key and freed the man.
"I'm Emmett by the way." The man said.
"Evelyn, these are my kids, Marcus and Regan." Evelyn introduced.
"Who's that?" Emmett said, pointing to the baby.
"I haven't thought a name for him yet," Evelyn said.
"How about Lee?" I said.
"No, it's just..."
Oh, Lee's sacrifice was too much for her. Emmett turned to me.
"And you are?"
"Peter," I said.
"I see..." Emmett said.
"We got to get out of here," I said.
"No. I know how to control the monsters. Well, my group does." Emmett said.
"They're other survivors out there?" Evelyn gasped.
"Yes. And my group found a way to control the monsters."
Peter
It seemed like Emmett knew what he was talking about when he took us to his group at some church. Everyone there was praying at some god known as the "Mother".
"It's not a group," I said to myself. "It's a cult!"
"Mother is good. Mother is life. Mother will help us." Everyone said in some monotone voice.
I looked up and saw sound creatures on the altar, but surprisingly, they did not attack the cultists. Three acolytes came from behind the monsters, standing in front of the monsters while still on the altar.
"Mother, blessed by the sun. We praise you." One acolyte said.
"Mother, blessed by the sun. We praise you." The cultists said.
"Mother, graced by the wind. We trust you." The second acolyte said.
I noticed Marcus showing some interest in the cultists.
"Mother, radiant with grace, come to us!" The third acolyte said.
"Mother, radiant with grace, come to us!" The people said.
I saw a woman dressed long red altar robes. She had a gold halo crown on her head, and like the acolytes, a wooden mask with a gold emblem on her forehead.
"Mother..." Evelyn said to herself.
"Mother is good. Mother is life. Mother will help us." The people said.
Two acolytes went down and spread a blue mist that everyone inhaled, including me.
"Wh-What's this?" I said as the acolyte walked pass me.
"For your suffering, the Mother thanks you."
Another acolyte picked me up and held me in front of the monster. I kept quiet, but the acolyte forced my hand to touch the monster. The monster did not attack me. It instead cooed like a scared animal. I backed away when the acolyte let go of me.
"Peter..."
Wh-What's happening?
"Hear me, Peter... Accept me..."
I saw the Mother, opening her arms. She must've been speaking through telepathy.
"You are a gift, Peter... Your destiny and mine are intertwined."
"No, this can't be happening," I said as I stumbled.
"Believe in me, Peter... As I believe in you..."
"Who are you?" I said as I fell unconscious
Peter
When I regained my vision, I found myself outside the church.
"You're awake." An acolyte said.
"What's happening? I'm not attacked by the monsters? Was it a dream?"
"No, the monster was real, our mist pacified the monster, but it doesn't last long."
"But we know how to stop the monster! We need to play a high-pitched sound which exposes their weak spot!" I said.
"But you will just make more monsters come this way." The acolyte continued. "I'll tell you what, I can help you and your family out of this place, but you've got to help us first!"
I didn't have a choice.
"Alright, I'll help you," I said. "What do I need to do?"
"We need you to find Noah, who is a member of our cult." The acolyte said. "Help him, and we can help you."
"Can you give me the directions?"
"He's at this location." The acolyte said, handing me a map with a location marked on it.
Peter
I was forced to go on my own. Evelyn and her kids stayed behind while the cultists took care of her baby. I kept quiet to myself as I silently passed by the monsters. Soon, I found myself at some house in the countryside. When I walked in, I found a man drinking some liquor under his soundproof basement.
"Who are you?" He said.
"Are you Noah?"
"Yes. And you are?"
"I'm Peter," I said. "The Mother told me to come to you to check on you.
"The Mother..." Noah said. "I've been researching her. She and her followers believe in some prophecy."
"What is the prophecy?"
"When the world is ravaged by monsters, when darkness devours the earth, when humans turn on one another, then shall one man rise from the ashes, who through an act of ultimate sacrifice, shall accept the mercy of light. He will not go through the gates of death for as he shall be the savior of all humanity." Noah told.
"But... I know the monster's weakness! It's high pitched frequency. We don't need to follow the prophecy." I said.
"I will let the Mother know that you help me," Noah said.
"But I didn't do anything."
"You already did. I don't need any help."
I went back outside to find some bandits taking Emmett hostage to a factory. I quietly followed them.
"We heard about your way to control the monsters." One of the bandits said. "Spit it out!"
"N-No..." Emmett said.
I yelled to get their attention. This also attracted the monsters. The bandits were left defenseless as they were torn up. After the monster left, I went up to Emmett. He had bruises all over his face, blood oozing from his stomach.
"Are you okay?" I said.
"Light... House... Light House..." Emmett said before croaking.
Lighthouse? What does he mean by Lighthouse? I checked the map, the lighthouse was not too far away.
Peter
When I arrived at the lighthouse, a bandit swung his machete at me. I dodged his attack and held him by the throat. The bandit then dropped his weapon. I immediately recognized this bandit.
"Boris?!" I said.
"You! You're that survivor that's been killing all my men!" Boris said.
"How did you survive the arena? You were screaming in terror!"
"I left my gang to die so I can go after you!"
"So you betrayed your gang? Wait till the rest your gang hears about that!"
"Foolish boy. While you were busy helping the cult, we kidnapped the woman and her children!"
"You mean Evelyn?" I said. "Where is she?"
A static came on Boris's radio.
"Boss? You there?" A voice said.
I took the radio and held it up to Boris.
"Say everything is fine." I threatened.
"Who's speaking?" Boris said using the radio.
"Chief! There you are! Listen, me and gang are going to the dam to finish off the Mother. But some jackass is messing with our plans, we need you to deal with him. After doing some careful studying, his name's Peter Caldwell from South Park. You up to it?" The bandit said on the radio.
"No need, pal," I said. "Just keep your eye on the balcony."
I dropped the radio and brought Boris over to the edge.
"Wait! Wait! Please, I beg of you! They forced me to do it!"
"It's Peter! Peter's here!" A bandit yelled.
I looked down and saw Boris's men driving up to the lighthouse. One of them had a rocket launcher. That person fired the RPG, hitting the lighthouse. The ground below me crumbled, sending Boris falling to his death as I held on the steel beam. I pulled myself back up as I made my way down the steps. By the time I got down to ground level, the noise from the rocket launcher caused the creatures to be attracted to their location. With them slaughtering Boris's gang, I looked at the map. The dam was a mile away from me. I ran as fast as I could in the direction of the dam.
Peter
When I got to the dam, I saw Boris's gang along with the cultists all dead on the floor.
"More fighting... More death... I can't let this happen again... I won't..."
Mother?
"It's you..." I said. "Where's Evelyn and the kids?"
"They're safe with me. I protected them. You need to see me first."
"My husband and I didn't stand a chance since the invasion. He was killed instantly, forcing me to hide... Then, I discovered a way to stop the monsters... I started a cult, Children of the Sun, and the monsters that since invaded us, became harmless. These monsters worshipped me too. And I was the savior."
I saw the Mother overlooking down below. I got her attention.
"The monsters believed me as their Mother... as I did too... this is why the monsters never left Nevada."
I saw the Mother removing her mask, revealing herself to be a humanoid version of the sound monster.
"Holy crap!" I gasped, jumping back.
"I loved the monsters as if they are my children... and the monsters loved me too..."
"So these monsters can turn people into your kind?" I said.
"And now, you have come, Peter. And every sign tells me that you are the one I've been waiting for. It's in the prophecy: Then shall one man rise from the ashes, who through an act of ultimate sacrifice, shall accept the mercy of the light."
"No, I just want to get Evelyn and her children!" I said. "I know the monster's weakness! It's a high-pitched frequency!"
The Mother grabbed my face.
"Look at me! There is no weakness! You want mankind to fall? Listen to my voice! The army built a fail-safe in this dam. This entire state can be saved. The question is: Are you ready to sacrifice thousands of lives, Peter? With you as the sole survivor?"
CHOOSE!
Option A: Sacrifice is the only way out? All right, I'm listening.
Option B: I want no part in your bullshit! Just let me and my friends go!
Option A (Skip this if you choose Option B!)
Peter
"So that's it?" I said. "Game over? Ugh! What do I do?"
"Wake up the God of the Sun. Follow me, Peter."
I followed the Mother to a room with an electronic lock. She unlocked it with a keycard.
"This is the fallout shelter used by the army. It will protect you from the God of the Sun."
I looked at the "God of the Sun." It was a nuclear warhead.
"My husband was a military colonel. He gave me the codes for this warhead."
The Mother gave me the codes. At that point, Evelyn, Marcus, Regan, along with the baby arrived.
"What is he doing?" Evelyn said.
"Saving the world, that's what."
"Peter, don't!" Marcus said.
I couldn't do anything about Marcus. The Mother had a point. I had to sacrifice everyone if I want to save others. I shut the door behind me as everyone watched. I then went to the warhead. I entered the code. 2-5-1-9-8-6-0-3.
EMERGENCY LOCK OVERRIDE: ACCEPTED. PREPARING NUCLEAR WARHEAD. 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3...
I turned to the Mother. Evelyn was embracing her kids in fear.
"Thank you, Peter..." The Mother whispered.
And with that, a white flash of light blinded all of us.
The news of what happened in Nevada spread around the world. No one knows what happened, but Las Vegas wouldn't get any tourists anytime soon. In South Park, everyone grew silent. Newton then got a call on his phone.
"It's Peter! He's alright!" He exclaimed.
Everyone gathered around Newton.
"Hello?" Newton said.
"Yeah, Newton. I did it. I got the frosting. And I know what happened to Nevada." Peter said on the phone.
"What happened?" Newton said.
"Sound monsters that looked like Lickers from Resident Evil 2. But I took care of them."
The scene then changes to the ruins of Nevada. All of the monsters, survivors and any source of life were all gone.
"I keep in touch with you the next time I see you," Peter said, hanging up.
Peter looked up to see a helicopter from South Park flying over him.

OPTION B (This is where you go to if you want Option B.)
Is this woman nuts?
"God are you crazy?" I angrily said. " I won't be a part of this God of the Sun! I want no part of this crap! Just let me and my friends go!"
"Maybe you'll understand if you see it in my eyes!"
And with that, the Mother pinned me down with her hand. She used her other hand as a knife or the blade of a sword. I tried to block her attack, but a high-pitched frequency disoriented her. I looked at the direction of that sound.
"Regan!" I said.
"You?!" The Mother said.
Evelyn and Marcus were there too.
"Get away from him, you bitch!" Evelyn said.
Great, copy that scene from Aliens. The Mother let go of me.
"You monster!" I shouted.
"Children, arise!" The Mother exclaimed.
The acolytes along with the monsters came for us. Regan used her hearing aid to disorient all the monsters, allowing Evelyn to shoot them.
"My children! My beautiful children!" The Mother wailed.
The acolytes came up next. I used the machete I got from Boris to dismember one of their hands. I then used the machete to slit another's throat. After fending off all of the cult members, the Mother was last. She then charged for me.
"You can't save everyone, Peter! This is just the beginning! You'll... kill... them... all!"
BLAM!
The blast of the shotgun disoriented me. I looked up to find Evelyn standing before her children.
"First, I'll kill you, bitch." She said. "Save everyone, and you can rot in hell..."
Evelyn helped me up.
"We need to go." She said.
As we made our way outside, we saw a large barricade up ahead. There was a hole in it.
"Oh no..." I said.
"Oh no is right, you can't save everyone..."
"What? But we killed you!" Evelyn said.
I checked my phone. The news came around that the monsters broke loose from Nevada and is spreading chaos around the globe.
We cut to South Park, where everything is normal. Until...
A sound monster crashed into a police car, sending everyone into a panic. As the camera pans across South Park, more and more sound monsters are making their way in. South Park and the rest of the world was lost.
THE END. (For Option B.)
Another choice system! I wonder what's morally right? Killing a group of survivors along with a baby to save even more people? Or save that group of survivors at the cost of the world being destroyed?
Update: I like to adress that this story is based on A Quiet Place and its sequel. Because the sequel was delayed because of the coronavirus, I made my own sequel to A Quiet Place.
