Cody was waiting patiently for his cohorts to return from Earth. Little did he know that they were captured by Belmont and his crazy posse. He wondered if there was at least something he can do to stop this madness.
"Poor, lonely Cody." Said a distorted male voice.
The Radio Demon appeared out of this air in front of him. "It's been a while, Cody. I cannot believe what is happening to you in your life right now." He placed the backsides of his hands under hai chin.
"Alastor?" Cody recognized instantly
"You remember my name! I'm really flattered that you remember little ole me."
"What are you doing here?"
"I just want to try and comfort and console you about every fucking crazy thing that is happening right now."
"Thanks but, I never meant for any of this to happen."
"Of course not." Alastor said in sympathy. "If anyone is to blame, it would be that pious piece of shit Belmont. Him thinking you are the Antichrist? It is the most preposterous thing I have ever heard in my life... and or afterlife."
"Loona and the guys are already going to stop him right now, so everything will be ok."
Suddenly, Cody's phone began ringing, and he recognized this very person trying to call him. It was Tyler.
"Hello?"
"Cody, I... I'm so sorry about this. Dad captured all your friends." It sounded like Tyler was crying on the other line.
"Tyler? What's going on?"
"Dad is making me do this," Tyler sniveled. "Cody, I didn't want to do this, I-"
"Alright Tyler, that is quite enough." Said Belmont's voice in a calm tone. "Hello Cody."
Anger appeared in Cody's eyes. "What have you done with my family!?" He exclaimed.
"Tut tut, young one. Your demonic friends are all fine." He paused. "... for now. I am giving you this message because if you do not show your demonic face back on Earth, then they will all die."
On Earth, the demons, Tommy, his wife, and Friends in holy chains by the Exorcists and Loona was really struggling with a chain clasped on her mouth like a muzzle. She was snarling and growling as she was trying to break free, but two exorcist angels were holding her back so she wouldn't squirm too much. This place looked like a park or a plaza, like for a wedding or a party.
"Ooh, this one's a fighter." Adam said amusingly.
"I wonder if she can last longer than the others." Lute wondered amusingly. If not for the chains, Loona would just kill every last one of the agents, soldiers, and Exorcists angels with her teeth and claws. These golden chains, however, were meant to restrain even the strongest kind of demons. Not even someone like Vortex would be able to break out of them.
"I hope you are listening," said Belmont. "If you do not show up here in exactly ten minutes, they will all perish." Then he turned on Tyler's phone to screen mode to show the boy what is happening. Cody gasped at seeing his friends and family all bound up in chains and ropes to prevent them from stopping this whole madness.
"Guys!" Cody exclaimed in pure horror.
"You have ten minutes, Cody. Think about which lives are more important. Yours, or your friends. And do not keep me waiting for long, unless you never want to see your precious friends and family ever again."
Looking quite conflicted, Cody's heart was beating frantically again as he was definitely in a heavy pickle. Mr Belmont hung up Tyler's phone and Cody was left stunned from all this.
"Shit, shit, shit, this is so not good." Said Alastor
"What am I going to do?"
"Just go face him."
"But Loona told me to-"
"That mutt is hostage by those crazy fuckers." Said Alastor. "There is nothing she can do now. Go and save them."
"Cody!" Said another male voice. It was Andrealphus, running to Octavia's room in a frantic hurry. "Where is little Via? Is she with you?"
"No, she and the others are captured."
"What?" Said Andrealphus. "Fuck me silly."
"That crazy priest called him and demands he show his face or His friends and family will die." Said Alastor
"Cody, you have to save Via." Andrealphus urged. "Stolas can die for all I care, but you have to save Via."
"I can't let Stolas die!" Cody pointed. "He is my friend too."
"Ok, ok, my apologies." Said Andrealphus. "But you are their only hope."
"How... how can I even get on Earth without the book?"
"I have the perfect key for that." Said Alastor. He snapped his fingers and he and Cody were in town, outside of where the even was happening. "Good luck out there, kiddo." Alastor gave the boy a pat on the back before disappearing.
Taking a deep breath, Cody slowly walked up to where the congregation was. "Mr Belmont!" He called out. Everyone looked at him and there was dead silence, except for the soft wind rustling in the atmosphere. "I'm here! You want me? You got me!"
Belmont smiled, knowing that Cody would show up.
A bunch of soldiers aimed their guns at Cody, ready to straight up kill him.
"No!" Belmont barked. "Lower your weapons. In order to make this work, we have to do it right."
"What do you mean, father Belmont?" Asked Robert.
"I want to kill him personally." He then pulled out a sacrificial dagger that was the color of bone all over, including the hilt and pommel. It was as sharp as a razor and was ready to kill Cody when given the chance. "And if I am going to do this," Belmont continued, "then I have to do this right."
Fletus appeared from behind Cody and gestured his hand to Cody on what appears to be a metal cross. "Your deathbed awaits you." Said he flatly.
Cody gulped and knew what was going to happen next. Slowly, he went up to the pedestal and was about to get on it.
"Before you do that," Belmont said to Cody, "you have to wear only your undergarments."
"what?" Said Cody
"You heard what I said," Belmont reminded.
"What are you a fucking pedophile?!" Said Tommy. Then he felt the back of his head whacked by the back of a gun by a soldier.
"Shut the fuck up!" The soldier shouted down at him.
"I am no monster!" Belmont argued. "It is nothing like that! It is only tradition. If he is the Antichrist, then he should look like one."
Reluctant, Cody got rid of all his clothes , and was wearing nothing but his underpants. He felt Adam put him on the cross and bound his two legs together to a metal strap, then his arms on the two shorter ends. "So you are Cody. I have heard a great deal." Said Adam. "I noticed your shirt and have a fucking awesome taste in music... for an Antichrist."
"Kill the enemy!" Said a male member of Belmont's followers.
"Save the world from the Ultimate Demon!" A female one said. Then everyone else in the crowd of Belmont's followers began roaring in savage applause.
"Enough!" Belmont shouted. "Today, we will save our precious homeland from the vile wickedness of the Antichrist. By God's will, we will purge all evil in the world and make history as the saviors of Earth!. For God!!!"
"For God!" His followers all exclaimed after.
As it gone silent again, Cody said: "You're a monster."
"A monster?" Said Belmont. "I am no monster."
Seeing how his own best friend was so distressed and suffering right now, Tyler realized that if Cody was the Antichrist, he wouldn't be crying like this. He stepped up on the pedestal, and stood in front of his crucified best friend. "Dad! Stop!"
Belmont looked rather surprised, "son, stand aside, now."
"He can't be the Antichrist! If he was, wouldn't he just try to blow everyone to bits right now?"
"He has not reached his potential yet, Tyler." Said Belmont. "Which is why I am doing this, to prevent that from every happening! Think of the greater good of the whole world!"
"Cody is not evil!"
Still looking surprised and shocked, Belmont said, "You would do this for Cody?"
"Yeah, dad. He's my best friend, and these demons don't look evil."
"Have you lost your fucking mind?" Said Adam. "Open your eyes!"
"Adam, I will handle this." Belmont said. "I cannot believe this." He sounded rather hurt. "My own son would betray me like this, and defend Cody?"
"I told you, dad! He's my best friend, and I won't let you do this!" Tyler continued.
still looking stunned, a sad face appeared on Belmont after, and bowed his head with his eyes closed. "I never... I never thought it would come to this, Tyler." All was silent, and after five long seconds, his demeanor quickly changed to angry. "Seize him!" He barked, pointing his right finger at his own boy. Two Exorcist demons held Cody's best friend.
"Hey! Hey! Let go of me!" Tyler tried struggling
"I never really wanted this to happen, but, you leave me no choice, Tyler." Belmont said. "Fletus, Robert, Dennis, Paulo!"
his four most loyal friends stepped forward like loyal soldiers.
"Bring me Stephanie and her husband." The four men did just that, and Fletus and Paolo u bound Stephanie, and tried bringing her to her ex-husband, but she was a fighter and managed to bite Fletus in the neck, hard. Then she poked at Paolo's right eye, making him yell in pain, but Fletus managed to grab her by her hair and dragged her to Belmont by force.
"Steph!" Said Alan. "You let me and my wife go you arse-wipes!"
"Shut up, Brit Pendejo!" Paolo grunted in pain before one Exorcist hit Alan's face, making him yelp in agony with a black eye. Then Dennis and Robert grabbed Alan by the arm and dragged him to Belmont, but not before they slammed him headfirst to the ground.
"On your knees, wench." Said Belmont.
"Mom!" Tyler shrieked.
"Tyler!" Stephanie. She tried to reach for her son, only for Fletus to grab her and slammed her belly-first, almost breaking her chin.
"He said get in yer knees, cunt!" Fletus said.
"No one lays a hand on my wife like- ah!" Then the large, burly hick turned his angry eye on Tyler's stepfather, cutting him off by landing a punch in the face and stomping on him repeatedly.
"Stop!" Tyler shouted.
"Enough" Belmont raised his right hand. "That is quite enough."
Cody was looking on in horror as he was afraid to know what would happen next. Even Loona, Blitzo, Moxxie, Millie, Tex, and the captured demons looked surprised by all this happening.
"It's your fault our own son has taken the side of the Antichrist, Stephanie." Belmont began speaking to his ex.
"What are you talking about?!" Stephanie exclaimed.
"You and your views on modern day life."
"Oh, well, I'm sorry if I am the sane one!" Stephanie argued.
"You're the one who's to blame, are you?" Said Alan. "Do you know how loopy you sound?"
"Quite the opposite." Belmont snarled. "Now Tyler has to learn that actions have consequences. Men! Give them retribution."
"No! No!" Tyler shrieked as he was struggling some more. At last, Agent One had to put duct tape over his mouth to keep him quiet as he was restrained again.
"I am only doing this for you, Tyler." Belmont said. "Make sure Stephanie and Alan feel pain."
"It will be our pleasure." Dennis had an evil smile. The four most loyal men, along with four other men grabbed Stephanie as she was demanding to be unhanded by these fanatics.
"Stephanie!" Alan screamed. He was being pushed and tossed over and over again by a demented mosh pit that landed punches on him here and there.
poor Cody could only watch on in pure horror as he was watching more people get tormented like this. As for Stephanie, she tried to fight back, but the men were too strong, and she was outnumbered as she was behind a line of bushes in the park.
Fletus grabbed her by the hair again and pulled out a Bowie knife to cut off a large portion of her hair, making it look hideous. The next thing these men did was strip her of her clothes by ripping them off. "No! No!!" Stephanie shouted as she was screaming.
"Come to papa!" Fletus shouted with an evil smile as he pulled down the front zipper of his pants. One could guess what was going on with poor Stephanie. She was screaming and flailing her hands as she was being violated. The men around her were just laughing and made a few animal sounds from them. There was even a knife involved and (with the men blocking the view), some... portions of Stephanie's body were being cut slowly.
It was pure pain and agony for Stephanie as the violation was going on.
In the demented mosh pit, Alan was hearing the cries of his wife being anused and at last, he punched one of the men tossing him around in the face and tried fighting on, only for him to be grabbed again and hit in the back of the head with a lead pipe, cracking his skull open.
Tyler was screaming and shouting through the as he was hearing the pained screams and cries of his mother, and hearing a crowd cheer for Alan getting beat up.
Crying and wishing this was a nightmare, Cody just wanted this all to end and be done with.
"Now, Tyler," Belmont walked next to his son. "Look at what your hubris has gotten you in to. Trouble and ruin."
Poor Tyler was crying tears of horror from all this. "If one cannot keep his mouth shut at times, then it will just get you in to trouble." Adam added. "You only have yourself to blame. Siding with the Antichrist like this."
"Now, where was I?" Belmont looked at Cody. "Ah yes. The moment of truth." He then walked over to the bound boy. "You think I am a monster?"
"Well, yes." Cody admitted.
"I thought you could think for yourself."
l can, Mr Belmont. I just don't think like you."
"That," said the crazy priest, "is only because you do not have the mental capacity to do what is absolutely necessary. I, the hand of God, am saving the world form itself. No more evil, no more conflicts, no more wars, no more racism, no more dystopia, no more individuals fighting one another over the most damn silliest of reasons!" He took another breath before lowering his voice. "With what I am doing, I can bring world piece."
"Evil fuckers throughout history tried to do the same thing as you have!" Vortex shouted. "Wouldn't surprise me of Hitler, Stalin, Idi Amin, or Zedong have said it too."
"Silence, mutt!" Belmont shouted down at the large male hellhound.
Cody gulped as his heart was racing.
"Look, because I am a merciful man, I will try to make it as quick as possible so you will not feel a thing. You want to know why?"
"Ok... why?"
"Because I am not evil, I am not a murderer, and I am not a monster." He turned his angry eye at his own son. "As for you, Tyler. I will deal with you after Cody meets his holy end."
Adam pulled the duct tape off of the kid's mouth. "Dad, please!" He pleaded. "I'm your son! I'M YOUR SON!!"
Coldly, the preacher said: "you are no son of mine," then turned his attention back to Cody and lifted his sacrificial dagger. "Now, to purge all evil once and for all."
"Kill him!" A DHORK agent shouted. In fact, the crazy followers cheered and rambled on as Belmont was about to make the killing blow.
"Any last words before I send you to Oblivion?"
"Loona, Tommy, guys," Cody looked at his bound friends. "I am so sorry for everything. It's all because of me." He was silent. "And Loona, thank you for adopting me as your brother."
tears streamed down the female hellhound's face as she was crying and squirming relentlessly. Alas, the holy chains were too much.
"Ok, I'm done."
"Perfect. Now, just think about all the good it will bring once I destroy the demon within you." Belmont readied his dagger. "With this, evil will never plague the earth again. And I will because Earth's savior!"
he reached his hand, and the dagger was aiming at Cody's heart. The boy closed his eyes as he was waiting for his demise, but then, a molotov came out of nowhere, and hit a group of soldiers and followers, lighting them on fire.
The sound of heavy metal music was blaring and motorcycles were revving. It was Zakk Wylde, John DeServio, Daria Lorina, and Jeff Fabb themselves.
"Black Label Society?" Cody said.
"Leave the kid alone you fucking assholes!" Zakk exclaimed. "Let's get them, boys."
