Chapter 11 - Hades

To say that Dan and Kevin were the only humans in town wasn't completely true.
But it might as well be. Another human did live in Vernon, and he went by the name
Hades. No one knew for sure if that was indeed his real name or not. He was a man who
kept to himself and rarely showed his face around town.

No one knew much about him. His house was small, too. He never finished
paying off the first amount of his debt. In fact, he never finished his part time job at Tom
Nook's. No one ever spoke positive about him.

'He rubs on me the wrong way.' Gwen would often say.

'Don't be like Hades, man! Hades is uncool!' was what Leopold spoke of him.

Hades didn't really seem to care what other people, or animals for that matter,
thought of him. Hades hoped down from the tree by the four mammals.

"Well, well, well... if it isn't Hades." Lobo said to him, "Where the hell have you
been?"

"Never mind that." Hades replied to the wolf. "Now as I was saying, I know
what's going on. I know very well what's going on."

"Well, then... what is going on?" Kevin asked.

"Yeah, what's with all these murders of our friends?!" Lobo snapped.

"What's Umbrella have to do with this?" Dan asked, seeming anxious to know.

'Is he the killer?' Officer Copper thought to himself.

"Just calm down for a minute and I will explain everything." Hades told the four.
"But what do you say we finish this conversation elsewhere?"

The four nodded. They wanted to get far away from that dead body. "We can go
to my house." Dan suggested to them.

And so the five made there way to Dan's house. 'I'll keep my eye on this guy.'
Officer Copper thought to himself. Something about a man he knew little of coming
from nowhere claiming to know everything was a bit odd.

They opened Dan's door, which had a pattern on Videl from 'Dragonball Z' on it.
Kevin looked over where the Gyroid would be.

"Where's your Gyroid?" Kevin asked.

"He's in the basement. I'm keeping him there until I can get him fixed." Dan
replied. He opened his door for the four with him, and they walked in. After all four
were inside, Dan walked in too.

Dan had a fair sized house. The biggest one in Vernon. The only house upgrade
left was the second floor. He had a Videl pattern on his walls, but a Shine Sprite from
Super Mario Sunshine pattern on his floor.

"I take it you have a thing for this girl." Lobo looked at Dan smiling. Dan
blushed, and turned his face away.

"Shut up, Lobo." Dan replied, still blushing. Lobo chuckled, and then turned to
Hades.

"Okay, Devil Boy, you told us you knew what was going on. So tell us, what the
hell is going on?" Lobo asked him, and he sat down on Dan's classic bed.

Hades however did not take a seat, he just stood in front of Lobo, Copper, Kevin
and Dan.

"Okay." Hades spoke up. "Here's what's happening..."
