Time for the three heroes to speak with the one man they haven't even spoken to in a long time, since they were little infants. This man would tell them whether this other person is around or not, along with some knowledge they are unaware of. Enjoy reading this everyone.

Chapter 751: The Priest from Royal Woods.
(August 14. St. Herald's Church.)
The whole place, or church from which is the only one in Royal Woods, after the whole known new citizens of Royal Woods, the church has learned to accept the newcomers of the world, from the Faunus to the folks who once resided in Mantle and Atlas.
One man runs this place, well manages this place and helps show them the story of the God who made the meaning of life and made the world itself. The folks are intrigued and even the Protoss and they sort of believe that this god may have been a creation from the Xel'Naga.
So, the priest here will let them believe what they think they should believe, but what matters is that they have faith in what is true and good, and he knows that these folks are good, even if some of them have done wrong, he can see the good within them.
Who is the priest who manages St. Herald's Church? Father Roland P. Chisel, a man in his late 30's and with light brown hair neatly combed and wearing the common black attire of any common priest here. The man has been around since he was 21, and he's been the priest many have spoken to.
Heck, he even helped with some events and has a lot more secrets not much folks know, and currently the priest is sweeping the church and he looks to the glass stained windows and he smiles. "Well, come tomorrow is a new day, Sunday of course."
Just then he hears a knock on the door. "Huh, who could that be? It couldn't be the Yates, they came here the other day to donate for the new statue coming soon." He goes over and then he opens the doors and is surprised by who it is. "Oh, hello Spellman's."
Luna, Lincoln, along with Michelle and Sam Sharp, and even Victor is there. Luna is the one to talk. "Sir, we wanna talk to you about some information we need."
The man is confused. "Well, alright. Come on in." He allows the group to come inside. "I am quite surprised that you've all come here. I haven't seen Lincoln, Luna and Sam since they were very young, and that was quite a long time ago too."
Sam chuckles nervously. "Well, sorry, but we had other stuff to deal with and it was not easy to come by to balance between what we do normally and what we do to keep the realms at peace, and balanced."
Roland nods. "I understand, and to be honest, it still surprises me that Luna here possesses demonic powers, and also the presence of the two demons, well overlords within the town."
Lincoln knows who he means. "Right, Velvet and Alastor. At least they're not doing any harm, and they are our allies, not friends in truth. Even though Velvet thinks we're all her friends. She's kinda twisted in the head."
Father Chisel understands. "Yeah, most demons can be twisted, but I do recall that they are not fully demons. They are sinners, am I right?"
Michelle nods. "Yeah, they are. But we wanna talk about why we're here."
Father Chisel can tell that this seems serious. "Very well then, so what is it you all seek from me?"
Luna then replies. "We need to know if there is such thing as a man, well a priest by the name of Alfred Goodman."
Father Chisel felt a bit uneasy by this. "Gosh, didn't think I'd hear that name again. It has been a long, long time since I have heard that name, and I never thought anyone would bring him up. Why is this a problem?"
Victor intervenes. "Sir, we need to know who this man is. I tried searching him, but there's nothing online and trying to find the source seems to be in lock down, and it trails all the way to the Vatican. Mind informing me about that?"
Father Roland Chisel can tell that they won't stop till they know, and he has to inform them. "Come with me." They follow the priest through the main doors of another room, and they see a secret door from behind the bookshelf. "This is for those who are going through what seems to be important information."
He turns on the lights and they see tons of artifacts and old stuff from long ago, and most seem to be banners of an old society. "Dude, what the heck is all of this?" asked Sam.
"This was a group, a holy community that fell to their own twisted beliefs of trying to ruin the world and make it back to the way it was…" Roland Chisel shows them the bulletin board. "The Society of the heavenly purging light."
They all see the banner, and they see the many photos and the map with the locations of where they have been, and it's not the map of America, it's the map of the whole world. "What in the name of all things is this stuff?" asked Michelle.
Father Roland Chisel then explains. "Many years ago, during the early 1980's, this group was made as a way to show that old fashioned ways can be used as a new means to guide holy communities, but after two years, they fell to their own darkness."
"This society has been a threat for the past 34 years, and have been nothing more than making the lives of others fall into ruin. They have been stopping cultists from doing heinous acts and that seemed fine, but then they targeted, everyone else."
Lincoln asks. "What do you mean?"
He then shows them more. "Folks who are in the same sex relationship, gypsies and for some reason, they attacked people who were Jewish. They had their own set of rules and believed that the world has to change, and return to the former glory, of the twisted and corrupted Knights Templar."
"They made messes of church's with the writing of what they say is true, that is if the folks even understand the language they write everywhere, and they made people fall in line, through brainwashing techniques and then ended up sacrificing people to some deity to restart time."
"They lost faith in so many and even attempted an attack on the Pope, more than twice. We had to forge our own group, and that group is what I am part of and I won't tell you all what it is. But I will tell you, that this man…. A man who was once my friend, was once part of it."
They all see the photo of Alfred Goodman. "My old friend, and he fell for the words of the enemy, and after everything we have been through, it was a complicated ordeal when he betrayed us and joined the enemy, and also guided the next assassination to the pope himself."
All of them couldn't believe it. "Dude! What the heck?!" said Luna.
Roland Chisel nods. "Yes, it is true. This man, Alfred Goodman was an old friend of mine, and we both fought to stop this group, but then he got curious and read the books and then learned more about this group, and he fell for their darkness and betrayed us."
"We had a base of operations, and because of Alfred Goodman, it costed the lives of more than 25 priests who were part of the group to stop the rising threat. He was responsible for the death to many of our fellow brothers, and our allies within the F.B.I and the whole thing turned personal."
Victor is at a loss for words. "Well, what did you do?"
Roland Chisel then shows them the photo of the event when the new pope was chosen. "The time when a new pope came, the threat attempted an attack, and that attack was gonna happen at the same time our allies went to strike the Societies main base, located somewhere in Transylvania."
"The rest of us, were sent undercover to defend the pope, and I ended the life of Goodman…. Before he could end the new Pope. It hurt to do so, but my friend was long gone and that man was no longer Alfred Goodman. He fell to darkness, and so he shall perish in darkness with the rest of the twisted holy cult. I regret not helping him, but I knew that it was too late to save him."
They all couldn't believe it, this man did exist. But the good news is, this man is long gone. Then Roland Chisel looks to them. "Can I trust all of you not to tell anyone? This is something that only those who can be trusted."
They all look to each other and nod. "We will sir, and thanks for telling us too" said Victor.
Lincoln sighs in relief. "Now we can all rest easy that Goodman doesn't exist in this world."
Roland Chisel is confused. "What do you mean by that, child?"
They knew they had to tell him, because he told them something that he trusts to inform them. So, the group tells him about the other world, with the same folks as they have, sort of. Along with their own trouble, and his name is, Alfred Goodman.
(Someplace else.)
A portal opens and Gyro comes through and he looks around. "Alright, now where in the hell am I and…. Oh what the heck is this?"
The Guardian sees, a battlefield, or an arena fight in this location that seems like a quarry and it has some large monster ribs and a lot of folks shooting each other and trying to make a kill.
He sees this large man with heavy armour and a shield and he slams his opponent to the ground and they are knocked out. "You tried, and now you died!"
A man wearing a gas mask and he tosses some gas grenades that poison the others around him. "They have no purpose to even continue, not when death would come upon them."
A lady on a mounted modified weapon and she unleashes holy hell on everyone running away from her. "And you get a bullet! And you get a bullet! And you get a bullet! Woohoo!"
Another woman, but she deploys this device that makes a small black hole and yanks everyone out of cover to be shot by her allies. "Sorry lads, but you can't escape the event horizon."
Then he spots, this robot using a grappling hook and he shoots someone with a sniper rifle and then lands on the body. "That was game over for you, thank you for playing."
Gyro is surprised by all of this. "This is… This is a Battle Royale, but what world am I in?"
"Hey, buddy." On his left, is this guy with tech on his arms, and he has cool slick hair, and goggles. "You the new guy here? Because a part of me thinks you some new guy for the Apex Arena? You trying to be a legend, because you're looking at a legend, and that legend is me, the name's Mirage."
Gyro shakes hands with him. "Well, hello there. My name is…" But the person is gone, like a hologram. "Gyro… What the heck?"
Then a gun is pointed behind him, and it's from the actual dude. "I'm sorry, did I confuse you."
Gyro is shocked and annoyed. "Mother fuck-" but Mirage is shot by someone from a distance and Gyro makes a run for it, but then some lady comes out of a portal and kicks him in the face. "What in the hell?!"
The woman has a rifle and she smirks. "You want hell? Well, let me be the one to welcome you to it." She points her weapon to him and shoots.
To be continued in the next chapter.
A/N: Well, now they know that the twisted priest doesn't exist in this world and the same goes for the society too. Anyone here now know where the fuck did Gyro go? Oh, this is gonna be so fucking fun! Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
