Authors note: This has taken so long to complete because of problems happening in my life. The laptop with the original copy of this had broke, and I lost all the information, then we had no computer for a few months so I had no way to write it up. I did get a new computer in late April, but I had been busy with stuff. But now I have had the time to start the new chapter as well as go through and revise the older chapters, trying to make them better, add new things, and correct any errors. Sorry for the delay. I've revised some parts of the story and may make more revisions and edits.
Chapter 9:Revelations
Angel had been waiting on the roof of the Motel, ready to provide cover for the others when they returned. He had let his senses reach out and join in connection with the town, connections that had been severed years ago when Harry Mason had came to Silent Hill and took Heather as she called herself now, away from there. He looked out across the town, not able to see with his eyes but with his senses, saw and felt the changes, as well as the new more twisted monsters. Mina had waited in the relative safety of the Motel Room, Angel having done something to the room so that when Silent Hill changed, it would stay the same. She paced around thinking about the past. She and Angel had been friends for a long time, since she was 11, now 18. Her family had been out of town when Silent Hill had changed, on vacation so they would avoid the tourist. They had to get a new place with Silent Hill off-limits, and when they died a year later Angel took her under his care. She had grown to care about him over the years, but he always pushed her away, keeping everyone at arms distance. She had stayed at their HQ while he had gone to Los Angeles, and came here when he had put out the call for them to show up here.
Jason fell to his knees as the Siren blared from the Lighthouse, it ripped through his mind as he was pulled from the hellish world back to his own. He let out a scream that was a mix of pain and insanity. He fell over when it was over, resting from the pain and exhaustion that had been ripping through him since the beginning of the twisted journey through Silent Hill. He slowly rose, grabbing his gun and turned at the sound of a high pitched squeak. Cockroaches. Dozens of them. He saw them coming at him in a swarm, a seemingly endless wave. Angel had told them of these monsters, that they may be small but when they bite, it is a serious injury. He felt fear rise in him, not from what Angel had said, but because he had always hated insects, he found them repulsive and the thought of them at times made his skin crawl. He dashed in their direction none the less, the only way out, squishing them under his boots. He made it into the hall, and saw more coming. They hissed and bit at him as he ran. It felt like forever before he finally burst through the door into the small courtyard and fell flat on his face. He rolled over, gun ready, and saw they were gone, and a moment later, noticed that Silent Hill was changed into a mix of its original self and the Alternate Silent Hill. Angel had told them all once that this had happened before, at the beginning, 17 or 19 years ago, he couldn't remember at the moment. He stood and noticed that his range of vision, even with the flashlight, was dramatically declined. He could only see 4 feet in front of him, and it was snowing. He started off for Midwhich to meet up with Scarlet, if she had survived the Gauntlet that was Silent Hill. On his way back he encountered several monsters, choosing to either run from them or to put them down.
Kyle looked over the lake, seeing some ghost like creatures skim across the water in an area where a book he found said a ship has crashed. He felt sorry for those souls, trapped forever in this town unable to reach the afterlife. He got on to his rowboat after a moment, making note of that spot, and started back for the shore across the lake, so he could get back to the safety of the Motel Room. He noticed an island, checking the map. Angel had circled this island and put "Stay Away" on the map, and he decided to take Angel's advice.
Jason reached Midwhich and was greeted by Scarlet pointing her gun at him. She put her gun down when she noticed who it was and limped to him." Are you alright?" He asked, noticing the limp. "Yes. Lets just go." Scarlet said, passing him and going outside. They headed back the path they had came, through the sewers, now twisted into Alternate Silent Hill. It was more confusing then before, with new paths and monsters. An hour later they stumbled out of the new sewer exit that was a stairwell and slammed the door shut. They found that the area had not been changed except for the exit, and were glad. They started back when they heard a dozen howls. They looked and saw an armored version of the Demon Dogs. Jason picked Scarlet up, and she covered him as he ran. He held onto her tight, thankfully they were only a few turns and a block from the entrance from the Motel, but also hating that when in situations like this, it could seem like miles.
Mina had picked up her walkie-talkie when it crackled, and heard Jason's voice." Open the door!" Jason said over it. They were running through the parking lot now, headed for the door. She quickly opened it up and she covered them from one side with gunfire, while Angel provided cover from the roof. They dived in and Angel jumped off the roof and quickly got inside, and Mina slammed the door shut. Jason got up off the floor and grabbed Angel by the collar." What the hell didn't you tell us?" He asked angry. Scarlet and Mina tried to get him off. "Let go and I will tell you." Angel said. Jason hesitated and let him go." We need to get Kyle here first. I will explain then me and Mina have to leave, she still has to find out whets at the Lighthouse and I will protect her."
Kyle had rowed into a dock that was close by the motel, he saw motor boats but doubted they worked. He got out and nearly tripped over some potted plants. He looked at them and releases it was the drug White Claudia. He headed for the door and found it locked, so he broke the window and climbed through, finding himself in a shop. He pushed through the knocked over stuff, and come in contact with a monkey like monster, it was short but quick. He pulled out his Dual Desert Eagles and shot at it, missing more then he hit, till it fell to the ground. As he opened the door he heard howling come from the Motel parking lot, then the echoing sound of paws on the ground coming for him. He started to climb a ladder to get on the roof, hoping that no air monsters were there. He looked over the edge, able to make out the outline of the monster dogs, and started to open fire on them, but his bullets barely hurt them. He felt his hope slowly fade as he heard the hellish squawk of a bird monsters, turning in time to see it start its decent at him, but saw a blur of black leather as the bird monster fell to either side of him, cut in half. Angel turned to Kyle and grabbed him before leaping off the roof, dropping grenades under them at the demonic dogs, and as they landed the explosions ripped apart the monsters and the front of the store.
Angel let go of Kyle and they ran for the Motel, monsters jumping from alleys and windows. The others inside the motel opened the door and Kyle nearly fell as he entered, Angel provided cover fire as he slowly walked back across the parking lot, and once inside the door was slammed shut. He turned to the others, and motioned for them to sit down so he could tell his story. He sat down in a chair in the corner, and looked at them, trying to figure out how to say it all, after a short time he finally spoke." I am the cousin of Alessa, the one who created all this." He said. They looked to him in semi-disbelief. "I was born a normal person" He continued" But, when we were young I had fallen from the tower of the Church, and Alessa healed me, but, she also changed me so that when I became an adult I would no longer age, and I would have powers, dark powers. I don't have control of the world like she does though. I have been tackling this darkness since it first showed up years ago. Going wherever it spilled out into our world, and it has on several occasions, and will once again, for now we can stop it for another 20 years hopefully." He was about to stand when the three of them pulled out three items. He recognized them instantly as the Resurrection Items used by the cult to bring someone back from the dead. "We were wondering what these items were." Kyle asked. Angel explained to them what they were used for then took the items from them and put them in a sack." I will take these and hide them somewhere save." He said. Angel stood." Now come, Mina." He said looking to her." Its time for you to take care of the Lighthouse." Mina nodded and got up, walking over to the weapons table and picking out a crossbow type weapon, as well as Desert Eagles and a grenade. She put extra ammo in her belt and a quiver of arrows on her back. Once ready they went out the door.
The walk to the Lighthouse had been almost uneventful, but they came across imp like monsters, a pack of them, 12 in all. They're eyes glowed red in the darkness, their flashlights barely illuminated anything. They both drew their guns and had cut them down before they even got to the duo. Fallen Angel and Mina had made it to the docks when the sounds of monsters erupted from all around them. Fear flashed across Mina's face while Fallen Angel's remained emotionless. He never felt anything except the basics, his humanity all but ripped from him over the course of his transformation into Fallen Angel. They slowly walked the docks, which had been changed to some continuous metal platform, going around the broken areas. They finally made it. Angel motioned for her to go on, he walking over to the water. He noted that a large monster was swimming in it, and wondered if Mina would have to face the creature, only time would tell.
Mina walked into the Lighthouse, it looked normal enough, she started up the rusty stairs that clung to the walls of the Lighthouse. Once up at the top she looked around. She wondered why Angel had sent her up here, all there was here was the Cult's symbol. Then from the darkness strode a monster carrying a War Hammer, a large one at that. She went for the stairs when it slammed the War Hammer down onto the ground. The ground cracked, then crumbled and she, the monster, and the floor fell. It crashed through the wooden floor into a cave at the bottom, the monster died when it was impaled on a piece of the stairwell. She laid there for a few minutes, letting the pain subside. She slowly rose up and looked around the dark cave. She felt around for her flashlight and flicked it on. It looked as if the cave had not been touched by the darkness enveloping Silent Hill.
Fallen Angel had started walking when he had heard the crash, knowing Mina would be fine. He started for the Amusement Park, wanting to get there as soon as possible. He caught the glimpse of a girl entering, he could feel the power emanating from her, and knew that it was Cheryl, or Heather as she called herself now, returning to the Church, he doubted he would run into her. He let her get a head start, he opting to wait at the entrance of the park for 5 minutes. Once that time was up he walked in, finding the bodies of the monsters. He let her clear the way so he could conserve his bullets. He followed her path until it came to the Roller Coaster as the cars fell down the hole at the end of the tracks. He slowly walked along the tracks, hearing gunshots in the distance and the howls of monsters, both as warning and of pain. He knew now without a doubt it was Cheryl. He jumped down from the Roller Coaster at the spot Heather had fallen, and continued to follow the path of Carnage she had caused upon this world of darkness. He finally got to the Carousel and found his path blocked by a large hole, and saw it spinning down below. He started his descent to it, making his way towards it. Once he landed onto the roof of the Carousel he jumped down and watched a ghost image of the Memory of Alessa. "Cousin." he spoke silently, he watched it vanish and sighed. He would return to let her find her rest. He entered the path towards the church. Once inside he heard monsters from within the shadows above. "I'm home…" He spoke as they descended.
Mina had made her way through the cave, stumbling over rocks and jumping every time she heard a drop of water, completely on Edge. It seemed as if the cave was deserted, wondering why no monsters had formed here. She stopped at a large cavern with a large body of water with a path that was both above and below the water, large enough for a boat to get through which she guessed led outside. She also found some plants under a hole in the ceiling of the cave. She looked around and found a shack and another path that she would take in a moment, she wanted to check the shack first. She looked inside and found a few guns and some ammo inside, as well as something wrapped in plastic, drugs she guessed. It wouldn't surprise her with the plants being out there and the fact guns were here. She didn't find anything else worth looking at and headed for the path. A monster rose from the water, it looked like a armored Sea Serpent , ones she read about in books as a child, it had horns and green scales that reflected from her flashlight. It lunged at her, and she dodged quickly, a large sound resounded at its head met the ground. She let off a few shots from her Desert Eagles, and the bullets only bounced off its armored scales. She started to head for the tunnel, but the Serpent blocked her path. It opened its maw to lunge at her again, and she opened fire, knowing it was futile to shoot it but was to terrified to think of another way to kill it. The bullets hit the flesh inside its mouth and it let out a horrible shriek. She now knew its weakness. It lunged at her, and she barely dodged it, she took cover behind a large rock and waited. It opened its maw again to lunge at her, and this time she fired a barrage of bullets at it, hitting the flesh of its mouth. She wondered if it was dead as it collapsed to the ground, she didn't wait around to find out and ran for the passage. She ran for what seemed like forever, until she finally came out of a cave not far from the Amusement Park, she knew that Angel had left her, he always left. She started back to the Motel, the world seeming all the more darker without Angel's protection.
