Panty and Boxer threw open See-Through's doors and ran out of the car to the ruined church. Bra opened her door and slowly followed them. They saw Socks digging through the rubble. Stocking, Garterbelt, and Chuck were behind a tree. Boxer approached his brother and Panty went to her sister, Bra followed her.
"What happened? Are you ok?" Boxers asked Socks.
"We were attacked. A giant monster, not a ghost, it came out of the sky, I shit you not. It was green, had an octopus head, stood on two legs, and it had wings. It was huge, at least 100 feet tall. It dropped down from nowhere and it…raped the church…yeah, it just…raped the church." Socks explained.
"What are you looking for?" Boxer asked him.
"The black magic book I used to clone Brief. I checked like ten times, it is not here. Must've been destroyed." Socks said.
Panty was talking to Stocking. "So…are you ok?" she asked Stocking, she wasn't exactly good with caring words.
Stocking looked up at Panty. "No. You know what? I'm not. Our house got destroyed and I lost most of the things I hold dearly." She said anger clearly in her voice.
"Fine. Shit, it was a yes or no question." Panty said.
Boxer and Socks came over to them. "Father Garterbelt, do you know what attacked?"
"Afraid not. If that thing was a ghost, it be like no ghost I've ever seen." Garterbelt responded.
Bra tugged on Panty's dress to get her attention. Panty turned around and faced her. Bra started moving her arms around like she was trying to tell her something.
"What is it Bra?" Panty asked her.
Bra stopped flailing her arms around and went over to Socks. She held her hand out towards him. She pointed to his sock with her other hand.
"You want my sock?" Socks asked her. Bra nodded.
Socks took off one of his socks and gave it to Bra. It turned into a sai before leaving his hand. Bra took the sai and walked over to the tree. She used the sai to carve the words, Cthulhu did this into the tree. She then handed the sai back to Socks.
"Again with 'Cthulhu'?" Panty asked Bra.
"Do you know anything about a 'Cthulhu', Garterbelt?" Socks asked the priest.
"Can't say I do." He said.
Boxer sighed, "We really need Rock." He said.
"Why? We have Bra. She's so much cooler than he is." Panty said.
"Yeah that is true, but she can't talk and if you want us to sit here all day and watch her crave in trees than we don't go to Rock's."
"Fine, you win. Besides, since he's such a massive fucking tool he might let us stay at his house until this shit storm breezes over." Panty said.
Panty, Stocking, Boxer, Socks, Bra, Garterbelt, and Chuck all arrived at Brief's house later in See-Through. They all got out and walked up to the door and rang the doorbell. Brief answered after three rings, he was using crutches to get around, his leg wasn't fully healed yet.
"What are you guys doing here?...Not that it's a bad thing." He said, surprised to see them all.
"We need a place to stay Geekboy. A monster fucked up our house." Panty said.
"Yeah. It literally fucked the church." Socks added.
Brief didn't think he had a choice in the matter and invited them in. "Ok…come in, I guess."
Bra was trailing behind the group and she was the last one to enter. It was only when Brief shut the door behind her he noticed her.
"Whoa! Who is that!?" Brief yelled noticing that she looked like him. Bra jumped a little bit, frightened by his sudden yelling, and ran behind Panty.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP GEEKBOY! YOU"RE SCARING HER!" Panty yelled at him.
"Oh yeah…Brief, this is Bra, I cloned her from you." Socks calmly explained.
"You cloned me? How?" Brief asked him.
"Black Magic. Don't tell anyone or I will fucking kill you!" Socks said to him making a stabbing motion with one of his sais.
"O-ok." Brief said backing away from him.
Brief got the angels situated in their temporary home. Panty and Stocking got the guest room with two beds, Boxer and Socks got the second guest room with bunk beds, Bra got the attic room, and Garterbelt got the basement.
Eventually, the four angels sat down with Brief. "What do you know about 'Cthulhu'?" Boxer asked him.
"A lot actually. I once tried to join the whole cult thing, but the third initiate test was just crossing some lines for me." Brief said.
"Why?" Stocking said.
"It involved covering yourself with octopus ink and having an orgy with the other initiatives…"
"Are they still hiring?" Panty asked.
"Shut up Panty…There's a Cthulhu Cult? Why does that sound so familiar? Wait. Those bodies at the beach…what Bra wrote in the sand…I think those people were members of that cult." Boxer said.
Brief became skeptical. "Why are you guys so interested in the Cthulhu Mythos?" he asked.
"Mythos? Myths don't kill people and rape churches." Socks said.
"Wait. So…the church was attacked by Cthulhu?" Brief asked.
"Yes, that is what it seems." Socks said.
Brief was uneasy. "That's impossible. According to the Mythos, he wasn't supposed to rise until the five stars of R'lyeh align and that doesn't happen for another 100 years."
"Slow the fuck down. What's R'lyeh? What are the stars about? And WHAT THE FUCK IS CTHULHU?" Boxer said losing his patience.
"Alright. Ok. Cthulhu is a deity from R'lyeh, a city at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. R'lyeh was built by Cthulhu during the pre-human era. It was an island until it sank. Now when the five stars of R'lyeh align, the city rises up and Cthulhu is free to walk the Earth. Cthulhu is a deep one, giant monsters from the sea with the powers of a god. They want nothing more than to destroy humankind as we know it." Brief explained.
"Why is he here if he wasn't supposed to be for another century?" Boxer asked.
"The stars must've aligned early or something…I don't know about that." Brief said.
Socks suddenly pounded his fist down on the coffee table they were sitting around. "Holy shit! Holy Fucking Shit! OK I just put the pieces together! This is going to fuck your mind!" he shouted.
He lowered his voice before speaking again. "Ok. So when we launched that firework a week ago it must've exploded in space. The explosion must've moved one of the stars into place. That pentagram must've been the stars of R'lyeh aligning."
"That means that…" Stocking said.
"Yes it does. We woke up Cthulhu and unleashed him upon the world."
"What about the nightmares?" Panty asked.
Brief answered that question for her. "Cthulhu may be the reason…he has the power to manipulate dreams. It's how he drives his followers insane."
"Than that motherfucker is going down!" Panty yelled, "No one fucks with my dreams!"
"You can't just kill Cthulhu, Panty." Brief said, "He's immortal."
"More like OP as fuck. So how do we kill him?"
"There's one way. It won't kill him, but it will send him back to R'lyeh. It's a spell in the Necronomicon, a black magic book."
"What if I told you that the spell I used to clone you was a spell from the Necronomicon?" Socks said.
"You have a copy? Where did you get it?" Brief asked.
"Ebay... But I don't have it. Not anymore. It got destroyed when Cthulhu attacked the…wait. Why would Cthulhu attack the church?"
"Maybe he was pissed that we woke him up early." Stocking guessed.
"Well yeah that, but what if he knew we had something. Something that was the only thing that could really beat him?" Socks said.
"HOLY SHIT KITTIES!" Stocking yelled in realization.
"AM I RIGHT OR AM I RIGHT!?"
"Wait what the fuck's going on?" Panty asked the two shouting Goths.
"Cthulhu attacked the church because he knew we had a Necronomicon. He took it when he attacked. That's why I couldn't find it." Socks explained.
"Look at you, going around mind-fucking everyone today." Boxer said to his little brother.
"Where would Cthulhu take it?" Socks asked Brief.
Brief thought for a bit. "Probably to R'lyeh for safe keeping."
"That's in the Pacific Ocean right? Do you have a yacht or a speedboat or something, Brief?" Socks asked.
"Why would I?"
"Because you're rich."
"Yes and no. My dad took the yacht with him on a business trip, he left yesterday." Brief said.
"Fuck. Well is there any other place we could get a Necronomicon?" Boxer asked.
"I think they have one at the British Museum." Brief said.
"Na, I don't feel like pulling off a blue collar heist anytime soon." Boxer said, everyone agreed with him.
Suddenly they heard rumbling and screaming outside. Brief went to the window and pulled the curtains aside to look out. His face turned white and he backed away from the window.
The angels walked up to the window and what they saw shocked them. The sky was blood red and black, slimy masses of eyeballs and tentacles were flying around picking up unsuspecting people and carrying them off towards the ocean. Cthulhu was present in the center of all the chaos, smashing buildings and crushing everything in his path.
"What are those things?" Boxer asked Brief.
"Shaggoths. Cthulhu's minions." Brief answered.
"YAY!" Panty screamed raising one arm in victory.
"Not that kind of shag." Brief said to her.
"Boo." Panty said, lowering her arm.
"They carry people to R'lyeh, where their souls are harvested for Cthulhu." Brief explained.
Socks and Stocking took off their leg ware. Their socks turned into their weapons. Socks looked back at Boxer and Panty. "Let's go. This guy fucked our house, stole my book, and gave us nightmares. Let's get him."
"You heard Brief, without the Necronomicon we'll be killed." Boxer said.
"It's why we're here, Boxer." Socks said. He then picked up a chair and threw it at the window, breaking it. Socks than jumped out the broken window, Stocking followed him.
Boxer sighed. He reached both hands into his pants and began tugging. He continued for fifteen seconds until he removed his hands. In them were his Boxers, completely un-ripped.
Boxer noticed Panty and Brief's shocked expressions. "Learned that from that scene in Zoolander." He said. His boxers than transformed into Uzis. Boxer than leaped out the window.
Panty turned to Brief, she looked him in the eyes and said, "Geekboy, if anything happens to me out there, I…"
"Yes?" Brief said, his voice soft.
"I want you take care of Bra and know that she will always be cooler than you." Panty finished. She then withdrew her guns and ran towards the window, she jumped out.
Brief sighed. "Garterbelt!? Chuck!? Bra!? Let's head to the basement!" He called out.
