A/N: I don't own anything from red vs blue or Silent Hill.
Silent Gulch Chapter 24
The dragon was on Church in a matter of seconds, sinking claws into his arms. He placed his feet against the creature's chest, pushing to keep its snapping fangs away.
The dragon finally let go, taking a few steps back. It became transparent and then vanished as though it were nothing more than a ghost.
"Great, an invisible dragon monster, just what I needed." He stopped looking at his radio. It had fallen silent as soon as the dragon had moved away. He relaxed; without static, there was no monster.
The radio screamed to life and the dragon appeared behind Church. Claws raked across Church's back, sending him stumbling forward. He used the table in the center of the room to keep himself from falling to the ground. The dragon once more disappeared and the room fell silent. Church smirked, gripping his knife tighter and moving toward the wall. It hurt, but he leaned his back against the wall to wait.
He spoke confidently.
"Got you now, smoke breath. Come fight Church, the god killer."
The radio sounded, alerting Church of the nearing foe. The dragon appeared to his right and Church jumped forward. The knife sunk into the beast's pale blue hide, staining it a darker color of blue with its blood. The dragon roared in pain, moving back away from Church. It disappeared once more, leaving Church in silence. He was feeling pretty confident knowing that the dragon could be injured.
The dragon moved close again, static filling the air as it charged Church. It was too fast for him, slamming into Church and sending him across the room. He couldn't stop the cry of pain as his back hit the ground. He struggled to his feet just in time to see the dragon heading toward him. He barely even had enough time to face the foe before the dragon's claws struck his side. Fangs flashed as they sunk into his shoulder.
Church cried out in pain as the claws cut into his sides and the dragon tore at his shoulder. "This is for stealing my kill!" Church shouted before lifting the knife and using all his force to drive the knife deep into the beast's head. It suddenly became dead weight as Church and the dragon collapsed onto the ground. He pried the fangs from his shoulder, but the beast had already torn it up. He pushed the beast away, trying to get it off of him. Something stopped him, causing him to sit and stare at the dragon's eyes. There was no mistaking it.
The eyes staring back at him were his.
~The others~
"Tucker, is that who it looks like it is?" Tex asked, not taking her eyes off the monstrous alien outside of the train.
"That's the mutated version of my kid that kicked me down that hole; then I ended up in that room with the others," Tucker said.
"I've heard of youthful rebellion, but handing over your father to monsters and becoming one of them is extreme," Sarge said.
"Whatever happened to just dating someone that your parents hated? Why must people deviate from the classics?" Grif asked.
"Yeah, or having an orgy with the basketball team to get back at them for taking away your favorite dress because they think it's too slutty," Sister said.
"Tex, can I go outside and play with the weird dog?" Caboose asked, leaning against the window as though he could pass through the solid glass.
"That's not a dog, that my kid…I think," Tucker defended, confused. "I mean, it basically looks like my kid."
"Why is it just standing there?" Grif asked.
"Undoubtedly it is too afraid to come attack us," Sarge answered.
"Great analysis, sir. It is a Blue, so it must be scared to death of us Reds," Simmons said.
"Could you stop kissing his ass and focus on the subject at hand?" Grif asked.
"I am focused; I'm focused on the alien that's over there with Lopez," Simmons said. "Wait, Lopez?"
"Where has he been?" Grif asked, peering out at the robot. "And who left him out in the rain?"
"Grif, you'd have to leave him out in the rain for years to do that kind of damage," Simmons said.
"Looks like I'll have some to do some repairs," Sarge said.
"Oh, can I help?" Donut asked excitedly. "I love helping. Maybe we can paint him a shade of red."
"That's a ridiculous idea, Donut. There's no shade of red left for us to use," Sarge scolded.
"Well, then how about we do some red highlights; you know, so people know he's on our team," Donut said.
"Where would we get the paint?" Simmons asked.
"We could use Grif's blood, though as far as I know his veins are full of crap, which would only make Lopez more brown," Sarge said, and a faint 'ew' could be heard from Donut. "Maybe we can paint him with the blood of one of the Blues. That Church fella looked like he could donate."
"Oh, look, it's Sheila, I knew she would find me," Caboose said happily.
"Oh, great; my kid's mutated, and the Spanish-speaking robot and the tank that's been turned against us are here. If I haven't said it enough today, we're boned," Tucker said.
"Sheila would never betray us!" Caboose stated.
"Hate to break it to you, but my pretty pony and I saw her working with the enemy with our own eyes," Sarge said.
"So? She is against Reds," Caboose pointed out. "That does not mean she betrayed Blue."
"I think it's the part where she was working with the monsters that means she's betrayed us," Tucker pointed out. "Oh, great, is that Doc with a rocket launcher?" Tucker asked.
"Looks like him. That's just what we need, that annoyance," Grif complained.
"Wait, why are they all attacking us?" Simmons asked. "Church would be the easier target."
"Yeah, but we're in a train car. One of our enemies is big enough to knock the car over, another has a rocket launcher, and one is a tank. I think we're a pretty good target," Tucker said.
"Yeah, but why is Lopez there? He's not that strong against a train car," Grif pointed out.
"I would guess that he wants to see you die," Tex said. "He doesn't like you guys very much. That much I think is true."
"Nonsense, Lopez is like a son to me. I made him," Sarge argued.
"Yeah, and all kids hate their parents," Tucker pointed out.
"I don't hate my dad," Alessa defended. "He's going to turn the power on and save us all."
"Church isn't your dad, your dad is dead," Tucker corrected.
"Shut up," Tex scolded the cyan soldier, then realized something. "Wait, Church, that's it."
"What about Church? What's a dead man going to do for us?" Tucker asked, still sticking to his theory that Church was dead, again.
"If all of them are here attacking us, maybe Church has a chance," Tex reasoned.
"Or maybe he's already dead," Tucker countered.
"Shut up," Tex snapped, pulling out her radio. "Church, come in Church. Have you found the power station?"
There was a long pause and Tex feared that Church had died. The radio suddenly came to life.
"Not yet, hit a little snag," Church answered.
~End chapter 24~
A/N: Usually I'm against the killing of dragons but in this case I let it happen. Church is more important to me. So there's chapter 24, thrilling conclusions coming in the next chapter. Questions will be answered.
