Now, this was an idea from "Marvelomac1010" and his version seemed a bit, unclear or fit for the bill, so I decided to change it up a notch and yet still give him credit for inspiring me, and this it is made, and it will involve that mean priest and possibly giving some forgiveness or the chance to redemption onto a couple we know and have found a bit annoying at being, overbearing with rules and safety.

Enjoy reading this folks!

Helluva Loud Adventures.

(Somewhere in Royal Woods.)

April 1, and now we are sighted at the location where volunteers come to help in cleaning up the trash from the freeway that leads outside of Royal Woods.

We have cop cars all over the place and some of them searching for any traces, with Lincoln, Loona, and Luna. Moxxie and Millie aiding them as well, and then we have Lucy flying around with her Demonic wyvern, Edward and tracking down anything odd.

Lincoln looks to the ground and sees the empty sacks of trash. "Well, seems like they were once here, and then gone. But, how the heck did this happen?"

Loona sniffs the air, and then she looks to the road. "Whoever did this, left some screeching marks on the ground, and also made an ambush. But to just do it in the early morning? Now that is fucked up prepared, could be an assassin."

Detective Merris goes towards them. "You said is true, the whole thing happened this morning." They then look to the cop who was the parole officer to the two inmates who are now gone, the cop is being treated of his injuries.

"Officer Clarence said that he was taking Howard and Harold McBride here for their community service of the week, but then a white truck pulled up and some man wearing a Plague doctor's mask came and hit him in the head with a cane, the cane seemed to have the shape of the cross."

"What happened next, was nothing but black, but he did hear the panicking screams from Howard and Harold. So, something tells us that someone who doesn't like them did this, or hates the whole same sex relationship quota."

Luna then throws her knife and it hits the ground and she looks pissed. "I know we hated those two for kidnapping us and for trying to get us away from the family we have, but when someone comes in and brings hate and curse to the whole same sex love life, then that's where I draw the fucking line!"

"I'm with you sis." Lincoln looks to the detective. "We need to know who did this and more importantly, what do they intend to do with the McBride's, because something tells me that the one who did this was a man of god, or an annoying man of god."

Merris knows who he means. "Father Goodman? I don't know kid, I mean sure he's kinda rude and judgey when it comes to things that don't partake with the whole bible, but I don't think he's the kind of man to hurt others. Unless you got some way to prove he did do this."

Lincoln growls and looks to the tire tracks. "I do, and I have a backup plan as well."

(St. Olivia's Church, Hazeltucky.)

A loud knocking is onto the doors of the church and the 47-year old priest makes his way towards it, but then the door is opened anyway and the man, known as Alfred Goodman is shocked to see who came to his church. "What? Demons?! How dare you?!"

"Yeah, shut the hell up" said Loona. "We wanna know where the hell you were this morning."

Detectives Merris and StoneHeart then intervene. "We got this, guys." StoneHeart asks the man. "Sir, two fugitives have escaped, or most likely have been kidnapped, we need to know if you have any involvement with the whole ordeal."

Alfred Goodman is surprised by this. "What?! This is absurd! What makes you think it was me who did this?! And what would I do with such heathen criminals?"

Merris then speaks. "Well, from the many records from the Hazeltucky police, you have had a lot of records and complaints about how you keep on ranting and showing signs of disrespect to folks who are in the same sex relationship, and most of the folks are the good citizens of the town."

Alfred Goodman scoffs. "Those loathsome people are nothing more than damned sinners, the same sex relationship is an outrage to the meaning of all things…"

"Not a sin when you really care for the person that the person shares their feelings, and the two missing fugitives are of same sex relationship, Howard and Harold McBride!" said Luna. Lincoln then stops her.

"I got this." He then goes towards the man. "Sir, I don't like you, well, nobody likes you and a ton of folks would rather see you gone for good, but we need to know… Are you lying to us? Because a part of me can sense some tension and uneasiness in the air and I don't mean the presence of the demons that have been around since last year."

Alfred Goodman is not fazed by this. "Corrupted child, the only uneasiness is that this world is shattered to the Grimm sins of the new era, and that the people must know that what they are doing is total anarchy, and the very presence of this demeanor is…"

"You are dodging the question." Lincoln retracts his claws out, and his eyes are glowing red. "So, let me ask you one more time…. Are you lying? Where the heck were you this morning?"

Alfred Goodman sees the cops getting ready, and the Hazeltucky cops are outside and with the chief of police, who really hates the priest for insulting his daughter for having relations with another girl, so the priest answers.

"I was here, doing my usual morning prayers and not even bothering to leave my domain and venture to that damned sacrilege outside to even deal with the corrupted, the good people who know me always come to this church."

"Not really" replied one of the cops from Hazeltucky. The other cops also agree with the officer.

Information: Ever since Alfred Goodman and his presence as the new priest of the place, no one has ever set foot there again, they did before he came, but now that he's there and is making constant annoying rants about everyone and same sex relationships, no one would ever go to the church, unless he's The

The priest is angered by what the cop says, Lincoln then goes towards the front of the church and his eyes glow red and he smells the air. "He's not lying, he was here and I can sense he's been praying to end the same sex relationship ordeal, which seems more like an annoying threat than a prayer."

Luna is angered by this and walks out of the church, along with some of the cops. Loona, Moxxie and Millie also leave, with Lincoln following last, but then the priest calls out to him.

"You don't have to continue with the life you have boy. Stray away from them and be part of the…"

"No, I am not leaving the family I have, and sure to hell I would be damned before I ever get involve with you, but know this…." Lincoln looks to him and his eyes are glowing red. "… If we find out that you are behind the crime in Royal Woods then I will be the one to personally end you. Once and for all."

Lincoln then leaves the church and closes the doors behind him.

The priest is angered by this and walks towards the back of the place.

(Outside.)

The cops are all talking to each other, and all of them are pissed off that the priest didn't get arrested, they all don't like the man and his constant complaining about stuff that don't even seem like a common crime to be arrested or detained.

Lincoln goes over and comforts his sister Luna who is pissed off, and then the hellhound, Loona sees the chief of police from Hazeltucky go to them.

Officer Chavo C. Rodrigo – As his name states, he is of Spanish origin, but born in Hazeltucky and has been a cop for more than 18 years as his father once was. He is wearing the uniform of the Hazeltucky police, he has a mustache and a ponytail, and is at the same height as Mr. Grouse.

"Hey, demons. Take it easy over there, we cops here understand how you feel guys, my daughter is in the relationship with his childhood best gal pal, they have had feelings for some time and finally admitted to each other a year ago and that was the time father annoying there caught them and scolded them and got me super miffed at the bastard."

Lincoln sighs. "Sir, we hate the man too, but the truth speaks that he was here and never even committed the crime or lead to the disappearance of Howard and Harold McBride, so the first lead is gone, and we're gonna have to look even further from this madness."

Moxxie then thinks. "There has to be someone else who may have done this, someone who hates them more than anyone."

StoneHeart then recalls. "We know a lot of folks are annoyed by Howard and Harold and they're constant safety hazard warnings, which the location is fine and safe, but they none would wanna commit kidnapping them and bringing harm."

"So, our only theory is that we're facing someone from outside of town, or outside of Saginaw" said Millie.

Luna scoffs. "I still think that priest did the whole thing. He's the first dumbass to ever respond in denying the whole same sex relationship."

"I'm with her" replied Police Chief Chavo.

Lincoln is about to speak, but then they see Lucy arrive and on her demonic wyvern. "Guys, I believe Edward here found Howard and Harold." She then hands them the phone she used, and they see what it has to offer.

The photo shows an old church outside of town, and behind the church is a white truck, the very same truck that the parole officer saw in the morning attack. "We got 'em!"

Merris and StoneHeart then call the rest of the Royal Woods police to get to the old church outside of town. Lincoln then asks. "This church, where is this place?"

Officer Chavo sees it. "Hey, I know that church, kid. That's St. Horace's Church and it is between the border to Royal Woods and Hazeltucky, which means this is also our jurisdiction and we're helping."

"Thanks for the assist" said Merris. "Let's roll people!" They all get to their squad cars and the demons hop onto the demonic wyvern and they all take off, they got all weapons locked and loaded to take down the fool who took Howard and Harold.

Lincoln then grabs his phone and he sends a text message to his friend, Clyde Davis. He needs to know.

(St. Horace's Church.)

Cop cars have arrived and they begin to go to the church, but then Merris sees something. "Get back, now!" They all stop and just in time for the dirt around the church to sink into a trench with spikes at the bottom.

They then see some more tripwires all over the place, Officer Chavo is surprised. "Dude, this is like some old fashioned stuff. How the hell do we get in there?"

StoneHeart then sees the Wyvern fly by. "Bingo."

(Later.)

A man wearing a plague doctor's mask is inside and he looks to the couple, Howard and Harold tied to a long pole and surrounding them is lots of wood for the fire to be ignited and the smell of kerosene is lingering there as well.

The two men are tied up and they're mouths are gagged and both men are bruised and beaten by this man with the use of a whip and a wooden pole, he then readies a candle and then he says a prayer.

Harold and Howard close their eyes, ready to embrace the pain they're about to endure.

But then something large breaks from the ceiling and the man in the mask is knocked away by the tail of the wyvern, and then Moxxie tosses some C4 charges onto the main door of the church and it blows up, this causes the debris to fall into the trench and the cops can cross.

But then the masked man reveals he has two Submachine guns in his coat and he opens fire on them, some of the cops are wounded in the conflict and the crew of I.M.P all look for cover behind the columns and Lucy's demonic wyvern hides behind a large fallen debris and roars.

Luna scoffs. "Well, we found the dumbass, now what?"

"This!" Millie tosses a flash bang and it blows up and stuns the masked guy, Lincoln then comes out of cover and he fires his claws with chains on them and it hits the man's back and he pulls them.

"Get over here!" But, he instead pulled off the back armor of the man, which is made of Kevlar. "Wait what?!"

The masked man they runs out of the church and the cops not too far behind, Loona and Luna go over and untie Howard and Harold. The two men never thought that they would be saved by the hellhound and the demons.

The cops come over and help them get out, but Howard and Harold look back to them. "Thank you."

Luna nods. "We may find you two super annoying, but we would never hate you guys forever. I respect the same sex relationship, as does anyone else who understands."

Then they hear a large grumbling sound. They all begin to move out of the way as a World War 1 Mark V Tank comes out and drives by, it then rams through some cop cars and drives off, leaving a lot of smoke to cover its retreat.

"Let's get after him, now!" StoneHeart and the rest of the cops give chase. They head into the woods, with Lucy, Moxxie and Millie on the back of the demon Wyvern to assist.

Lincoln then looks to the old church and he sees tons of cross symbols and then he uses his gloves to grab the cane used to hit the parole officer and the McBride's. "Well, at least we found out the place where they were, but who the hell was that guy and why capture Howard and Harold?"

"Dudes…" They go to where Luna is and are horrified by what they see in a large room, hanging from nooses all over the ceiling are a lot of people, folks who have gone missing, folks who are in a relationship with each other.

Loona is surprised by this and the cops as well. "Guys, this just turned big and dangerous."

To be continued folks!

A/N: A new threat? A danger to the locals and those who are in the same sex relationship? This is a nightmare to deal with, and they will soon, but is the priest of Hazeltucky involved? Only future chapters and time will tell. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.

Alright, so "Marvelomac1010's" idea and concept was to have Howard and Harold team up with Father Goodman, but then I recalled that the man hates same sex relationship, and so it wouldn't make sense of the cut into this story, and so I came up with this.

Date made: 3/11/21 – 3/12/21.
