Chapter 4: A Taste of Darkness
Later on, that same night that the town had quiet down for the rest of the night…. Cut to Hell Pass Hospital, down in the basement area where the town morgue was located. The Chief Medical examiner was sitting at his desk doing his paperwork along with a cup of hot coffee that all sudden he had something metal had crashing down in the other room which he had gotten up from his chair to check the noise out. Doctor Humphrey who was dressed in his standard blue surgical scrubs and white lab coat with his curly salt and pepper hair had struck his head between the crack opening of the swinging doors to see everyone was there.
"Det. Sgt. Yates, Det. Murphey, Officer BarBrady, is that you guys fooling around with me that this is not funny at all?" Doctor Humphrey said in a very confused tone as he looks around the room. When all sudden he had came the undead museum employee standing there with her eyes were gleaming that same reddish- orange color and baring their long sharp and pointy fangs at him, which they are ready to pounce on him like a hungry lioness along with the undead security guard who had tackled the doctor on the ground. "Help Me!"
A half hour later….The police force were there after the attack had taken place which Yates and his partner, Mitch Murphey were leading another crime scene investigation once again that this is the third person had been attacked and mauled in last 24 hours.
"Son of bitch….This is the third attack in last 24 hours that I can't wait to tell the mayor and chief about this in the morning!" Yates ranted angrily while he was standing there smoking his cigarette at that moment. That he just looks at his partner as he was on his cell phone calling someone. Cut to the McDaniels' residence inside the dim TV lit master bedroom that BarBrady's cell had started to ring loudly which it had awaken BarBrady, but the mayor who was still slumbering like a lazy cat.
"Hello? What? Did you say that the chief medical examiner had disappeared from the morgue tonight….So, you want me to wait on telling Mary until the morning, Harris that you know that she will have my balls if I'm did this?" BarBrady said in a sleepy sounding voice while he was on his cell and getting his uniform back on at the same time to heads out back on duty. That the mayor had rolled over on the bed which she had remained sleeping as he was walking out a few minutes after he had left that she had awaken up from her slumber to look around the room that she had lay back down. Meanwhile at the same time, cut to Dovahkiin's house inside his candle lit bedroom that the young dragonborn was sitting Indian style mediating that the scent of dragon's blood incense had filled the room that he had drifted into a trance. Which he was dressed in a white/gold hooded robe where he had came across a pair of older people who are wearing the same style of robes like those that he is wearing in a white misty room.
"Oh, what do you want now that I want to live my life as a normal little boy?" Dovahkiin ranted that he had just settled into his new life in South Park for a year now, as he was kneeling before them.
"Listen to me, young dragonborn which we had sent you to be born into this world that you are the protector of your new town and the world which a great ancient evil had arose to create a hell on earth that you needs your friends' help to destroy it." The older male elder with the long salt and pepper hair explained.
"You got to be fucking kidding me, right?" Dovahkiin quickly replied which he had raised a brow in shock as he looks at the elders who are standing before them.
"You and your friends must keep your town's mayor from signing that contract will usher the rule of the Strigoi, or the vampire into the world." The long blond hair with big curls female elder ordered.
"Soon, you will meet your teacher when the darkness comes, dragonborn." The Male elder added that is when Dovahkiin had snapped out of his trance at that moment that he had quickly got into bed after blowing the candles out that his dad had popped his head between the door's opening that he had pretend that he is sleeping.
The following morning….Outside of South Park City Hall, where Dovahkiin had met with his friends that they are full dressed in their costumes which all of them were looking very confused to why he wants to visit the mayor very urgent.
"Douchebag, what the hell do you want to see that bitch McDaniels for whatever reason?" The Grand Wizard Cartman demanded that he looks very annoyed that he knows the he and his friends have a love/hate relationship with the mayor currently.
"Look that I'm going to say this now, as you had noticed the attacks within our town had spiked up during last 24 hours." Dovahkiin said after he had cleared his mind to take charge of the situation.
"Dude, do you think that there is another monster is stalking the town?" Stan added which he looks very shocked while Princess Kenny was standing there playing with her hair in a very flirting way toward Kareem that Kareem just stood there looking very confused. Inside the mayor's office, where Mayor McDaniels was leaning against her desk smoking a cigarette that she was enjoying the calm before the storm hits.
"That I know something is about to hit the fan very soon again?" McDaniels had said to herself when all sudden her right-handed man, Johnson had came scrolling in there which he had a very fancy envelope in his hands. "Oh, what is it, Johnson?"
"Well, mayor that you had gotten an invite from the Vanguard Group for a party tonight?" Johnson said as he was reading it to her, which she was rolling her eyes at him.
"Boy, they aren't giving up at all that I'm still not signing that permit at all, that I want you and Freddie to dig some dirt up on this company in hope to ease my mind." McDaniels asks in a caution tone that she was still holding her cigarette in her hand. "Johnson, I want to be sure that this company is not a scam to rob us blindly, which I don't want another bad deal will bite me in the ass like the hippie Jam Fest did?" Johnson just stood there so quietly while holding the invite in his hands. That is when the costumed kids had came running in there which the mayor does not looks pleased at all. "Oh. It's you brats, what do you want now?"
"Madam Mayor, we have a problem that you should know about it which you need to reconsiders the signing of that building permit." Dovahkiin said after he had stepped forward toward her.
"Boys, everything is fine that I'm not signing that permit which I'd learnt a hard lesson from that hippie jam fest two years ago." McDaniels explains that her hands were going everywhere then she had gone around to behind the desk, which she had seated herself in her chair that she had motioned Johnson to do the digging into The Vanguard Group's past and info.

Meanwhile at the police station at the same time… Inside Dawson's office where both Yates and Dawson were standing before the seated police chief at Dawson's desk which he was looking over the paperwork about the now dead chief medical examiner and the missing bodies of the murder victims from the morgue that he know that he gets scolded by the mayor about this.
"How the helk did you guys had lost two bodies that were locked up in the morgue since last night which you will know that Mary will have my butt for this major screw up?" BarBrady said in a very unhappy tone voice when he had heard about this news.
"Sir, we are doing our best to find the bodies from the morgue while you need to keep the mayor out of the loop for a time being." Yates explained away that he has his cigarette sticking out of his lips.
"Harris, you know Mary that she is not dumb at all that she will find out about this which she had my ass like the last time, because you guys had used the tank to gone after a couple of holograms." BarBrady replied that he was hatless and holding a folder of paperwork in his hands as he had got up from his chair which he remembered the last time after the tank stunt that she was pissed at him.
"Dayum…The chief is not happy at all?" Officer Stevens said to the other officers who were standing outside of one of their superiors' office drinking their cups of hot coffee and eating a couple of doughnuts as well too.
"Oh, EW… Doughnuts again that you guys know I hate doughnuts." Officer Peterson added that he looks not happy at all when he had seen the doughnut box that was sitting on the cupboard in the break room. All sudden that they had noticed BarBrady was walking out of the office, which he was putting his hat back on that he is going on his normal traffic patrol at that moment. Only a few minutes later inside his car that his cell had started to ring at that second.
"Hello there, sweetheart…..Sorry, that I'm inside my squad car right now that I'm going to tell you this that we had another attack last night that involved the chief medical examiner, and two of the murder victims had disappeared from the morgue too." BarBrady was speaking into his phone that he looks very nervous while speaking to her.
Later that same afternoon in the lost forest that the army of Zaron was out and tracking Cornelius and his henchmen down to their campsite that the evil army of the sunshine kingdom was resting around the campsite while their rivals had sneaked on them through the bushes for an ambush attack. All sudden that Dovahkiin had came in with his ground stomp that stunned some of the dark army that the warriors of Zaron had jumped out from the bushes to attack that both armies were fighting each other's with tooth and nail. Which Kareem had used bottle rockets to attacks a pair of ginger knights in the fireballs attack then he had called the elemental powers as a druid priest to finish them off.
"Hail to the guardians of the watchtowers that I'm invoked the powers of the Earth, Water, Fire and Air to cleanse the evil!" Kareem chanted out loud while he had pointed his wooden sword to the skies which a series of a rain showers had formed over his rivals that soaked them then a ring of fire had formed around them which a small earthquake had rattled them to lastly a small tornado had chased them away.
"Holy shit ….I loves your special attacks that make Kahl's attacks looks like a preschooler had putted them together." Cartman said along with a laugh that his comment had pissed Kyle off.
"Goddamnit, Cartman that I'm going to kick your fat ass around in these damned woods starting now." Kyle screamed that he had raises his golf club ready to swing at his fat rival right now.
"Whoa…Whoa…Whoa…I'm only fucking with you damned Jew rat." Cartman said in a panic as he was backing up on the tree while the others stood there watching them who were about to fight at any minute.
"Should we step in to stop them from killing each others?" Kareem asks in a very concerned tone voice as he looks at the others.
"Dude, don't worry about it that these two had been fighting with each other's since their toddler days, and Cartman is an asshole too." Stan added that both Feldspar and Tweek the barbarian had come up to Dovahkiin who was searching for Cornelius who had vanished from the camp.
"King Douchebag that King Cornelius had escaped from our ambush of his camp had occurred that we had gotten the info from one of his men." Feldspar explained that Douchebag was quietly pacing that is when the young king had stopped to look up at the sun that was setting in the west.
"Goddamnit that we must continues the game tomorrow which night is about to arrive." Dovahkiin said after breaking character at that moment.
"Oh, hamburgers that I don't want to be grounded again, fellas." Butters replied as the group was heading out of the forest for their homes that unaware to them that someone was watching them at that second that a glimpse of stalk white hand was resting against the tree's trunk. Not long after they had left for home for the rest of the night that nightfall had made its presence shown to the small sleepy mountain town below where the same old man was waiting in the shadows that he was on hunt for something, which he had sneaked into City Hall. Inside the mayor's office that Mayor McDaniels was still there that she was working through the midnight oil to get her paperwork done that is when she had came across that infamous permit that she had quick glanced at it and she had puts it in her not signing pile. That is when she had look up to see BarBrady standing before her with his cap in his hands and places a file on her desk.
"So, why you didn't call me about this earlier, George?" McDaniels questioned with great concern, as she looks through the file.
"Mary, we are doing our best to find the bodies that it had disappeared that they had walked out of there by their own, before a panic comes forward." BarBrady said.
"Who the hell are you that are that is this the second time that you had invaded my office that I want to know who you are, if you are working for Vanguard to scare me into signing the permit which it is not working at all? McDaniels demanded that her voice was filled with venom, as she was glaring at him.
"Excuse me, madam and sir; I am Professor Josef Zuraw that I'm here to stop an ancient evil that had arrived in your town to spread its evil across the earth." The old man butts in the conversation that both BarBrady and McDaniels just looks at him very strangely. "The master of the Strigoi had begun his quest to conquer the world from humanity."
"What the hell is the Strigoi that I may ask which you are confusing me right now?" McDaniels asks while she had come from her desk.
"The Strigoi is the Slavic word for vampire, my dear." Prof. Zuraw replied as he looks at the arm-crossed mayor who was standing before him.
"Goddamnit, there goes our normalcy again!" McDaniels pouted that she does not looks very pleased at all.
"Well, mister that we are so used to the strange stuff that happened he daily?" BarBrady added which the mayor quickly turns to give him a clear dirty look.
"Shut up, George!" McDaniels hissed her anger toward her secret lover.
"That I must find the dragonborn in hope to destroy the master before it is too late for humanity." Prof. Zuraw replied.
"I'm afraid that you have lost me again, what is, or who is the dragonborn?" McDaniels asks that she looks very confused yet again.
"Well, my honor that the dragonborn is a very gifted warrior, who has a mass of gifts and highly skilled in fighting." Prof. Zuraw explained.
"Nothing around here will surprise me at all anymore that I had seen many weird things while as mayor." McDaniels said along a heavy sigh.
"So, your town is a supernatural hot spot, your honor?" Prof. Zuraw questioned the mayor's last statement, which she just stood there rolling her eyes at him that she does not have any time for this crap at all.
"What, do you think, Professor Whatever your name is?" McDaniels snapped back as she was glaring back at him. "For Christ's Sake...That is what all I need you now, another strange occurrence is happening in this God forsaken town… But I want you and your secret weapon destroys the threat before it gets out of hand like that Nazi zombie outbreak that had happened over a year ago!"
"Well, madam that I must start my search for the dragonborn then?" Zuraw replied as he was placing his fedora back on his head and walking out of the room.
"What the hell was all about, Mary?" BarBrady asks which the mayor just turns around to look at him with a dark glare.
"I don't know, George that I'm glad that creepy guy is gone now!" McDaniels added.
"To Be Continued"
Author's Notes: I'm parodying The Strain for the evil recurring monsters to replace the Nazi Zombies who were the recurring enemies in Stick of Truth, and I'd forgotten about the evil company who had made Towelie. That I'm going to wait on the writing of Chapter 5 when I get some ideas after seeing The new The Strain episode that will bring Councilwoman Feraldo in that a role that Mayor McDaniels will take on in the latter chapters to combat South Park's vampire threat.
