Helluva Loud Adventures.
"The former Goth President."
(March 12. Somewhere in Royal Woods, Michigan.)
We head to the docks, and this is where all the ships make port and stay a few days or so and someone walks out from the passageway and walks out and then looks around his environment, and this child is Bartholomew, the former president of the Young Morticians Club.
He seems less pleased and not so amused, and he is wearing what looks like the same clothing he wore when he left, and he sees that nothing much has changed. 'Royal Woods, I have returned and this time... I'll make sure that what I see is worth something more for the outcome of what I have planned.'
Bartholomew then walks towards the bus, and he prepares the bag he has with some trinkets from his journey, but he is unaware of a stealth drone watching him, and it belongs to Tannins.
Tannins then contacts the others. "Everyone, the strangely pale child is here, and he is on a bus and possibly headed for the town. Prepare to keep watch, and I shall continue my role to ensure everything he does will be used against him.'
The drone then flies off in stealth, prepared for what is to come.
(The Royal Woods Cemetery.)
The bus arrives to the destination and Bartholomew walks out and he sees the place. "Hasn't changed one bit, though something does seem different." He sees some small raven statues on some of the tombstones, and a few owl statues, and he likes their looks.
He then walks passed them, but he doesn't know that these avian statues are looking at him, and they seem to bear the same eyes as Octavia Ars Goetia.
Bartholomew then arrives to the meeting place and he sees Haiku and Lucy speaking with their members: Rocky, Boris, Morpheus, Persephone and Dante and they are talking about something important.
"Alright, so we all know what unholy stuff we have planned this spring break?"
Haiku. "My parents wish for me to spend some time with my grandparents, and I am fine with them. They make me feel normal and okay, they respect my wishes and my grandfather owns a pawnshop and staying with them for the week, perhaps I can be able to gain one of the shrunken heads as a gift."
Rocky. "Just me, and Rusty hanging out at the lake house our possibly new dad owns and it is gonna be awesome. Truth be told, I am hoping for some excitement, sorry I am feeling this way. I wanna get some good vibes when spring break comes."
Lucy nods. "All is good, anyone else have something to share?"
Morpheus. "I shall be busy spending a road trip with my family and we are headed for Death Valley Nevada. The very name gives me thrills and chills."
Persephone. "I unfortunately have to spend a week at Aloha beach with my family, and I do not like it one bit. I just hope a shark attack will make things better."
Boris. "I will just be here in town, with my cousins coming to spend their week here, and I do not appreciate their positive emotions around me. I will need to seclude myself someplace away from them, for my sanity and insanity."
Dante. "We're just going to spend the week at our cousin's home in Alaska. At least the white color of snow will please me, white is one of the colors of death after all."
Lucy smiles hearing this. "Excellent, it looks like we all have our own stuff to do, and I do hope that when it does arrive, we can all find some time to..."
"I for one, have a week to stay within Royal Woods." They all turn around and see their former leader, Bartholomew is there, and he smirks and grins. "Hello my friends, it is good to be back here in the town where we forged the..."
"What in the ten hells are you doing here?" asked Lucy sternly.
"Shouldn't you be shuffle boarding in the daylight of the open ocean with no fog in sight?" asked Haiku, the others snicker and Haiku and Lucy fist bump each other.
Bartholomew didn't like those words. "Yes, though I would be onboard that wretched ship, I am not and instead I am here and dealing with some much more pressing matters, and that would be me welcoming myself temporarily back into the Young Morticians Club, since I am the..."
"WAS the president" said Lucy sternly. "Bartholomew, you are not a part of this club, and you should leave, right now!"
Bartholomew smirks. "Lucy, please. Let us not do this right now, I know that I did wrong back then and I shouldn't have done what I did. But I am not the same from before, and I still remain loyal to the cause of the Young Morticians club and would..."
"Never in your damned life, Bartholomew" replied Haiku as she glares at their former president. "We know that you are lying, I can tell since I learned some very well-made tricks from the grandmother of Lucy, when I went to visit hell."
Lucy then looks to Haiku. "Harriet is my great grandmother, and she is an overlord."
"What?!" Bartholomew then calms down. "Look, there is no deception here. I am merely trying to become part of what was made long ago, and I have something to offer as well." He then places the bag down. "As you should all know and are also possibly aware. I have been going around the world, and though there were the annoying happy times, I adored the historical and dark ritualistic things."
Bartholomew then shows them what he has in his bag. "I managed to snag some of these for myself, and to show you all." Bartholomew shows them the shrunken heads from South America. The Half-head diorama of a Jewish man which was lost in the old Death Camp. A mask that looks like Zhong Kui, the demon Queller.
A demonic horn from Russia, and is said to summon forth a demon to their world. A jar of ashes from a defiled and dark priest from Romania. A ruined cross from Transylvania. A jar filled with human eye balls from Africa, and a book on Asian creatures from the darkness and how to summon them.
"As you all see, this is a special bag with the best items I have mustered." He looks to the others. "So, what do you all think?" But instead, Bartholomew is met with bored eyes, and a stern gaze from Lucy, Haiku and rocky. "What? Why are you not thrilled to see such trinkets from great darkness and evil?"
Haiku scoffs. "Nice try, but that will not work on us anymore."
Dante then speaks. "She is right, we have been through a lot and following you brought us down to being grounded for so long."
Morpheus is next. "We seek nothing from you, and we do not want you here anymore. You are no longer part of our club, Bartholomew."
"Also, we have seen much better items than those, and I can tell that some of those are fakes" replied Persephone.
"What you did to Lucy last time, was too far and we already dealt with Elias, and he is never, ever coming back!" said Rust. "You should've joined him in that as well, Bartholomew!"
Boris then speaks as he is upside down from the tree branch and he plays his keyboard. "You are not welcome here, leave now or you will suffer!"
The Goth boy is angered hearing this, and then Lucy speaks. "We know you are up to no good, and if it does come to be then we shall be the ones to bear down on you, for what you have done. Demonic allies side with us, and doing something dark and twisted will anger some powerful beings from heaven and hell."
Then the Demonic Wyvern of Lucy lands behind Lucy and looks to Bartholomew and roars. "Leave now, or forever be put to... Rest. In. Peace!" She is now wearing a black trench coat and a large black hat, and the sound of thunder is heard as the skies are dark and gloomy.
Bartholomew didn't like where this is going, and so he gathers his stuff and he flees from them, he didn't know what to make of what he had witnessed. But he does know this. 'They might scare me away, but I will not halt my plans and make this town see that we must return to the age of fear!'
(The Royal Woods Mall.)
Bartholomew is now at the mall and he is going through the mall and seeing how everyone is happy at shopping, and this disgusts him and he continues his journey through the mall and seeks out the local gothic clothing place, but he does see something he is surprised to notice.
'The Radio Demon?! He is here? Walking amongst these fools? Who the hell is that succubus with him?!'
He watches as the radio demon is walking alongside Lady G Valentine and are done with shopping and headed out of the mall, and this shocks Bartholomew. "This cannot be, this is wrong and wretched. I shall not stand for this, he must..."
The Goth boy then sees Blitzo and Verosika Mayday at the food court, and they are both sharing some laughs and then Leni, Lori and Niffty walk by the Goth kid and are done shopping for what Niffty needs, and even Angel Dust and Cherri Bomb are checking out the mall.
'What is this?! What has happened to these demons and sinners? Why are they not inflicting pain and misery to the world? They are beings of evil and should continue what the dark deeds of Lucifer demand it! I will not allow this... I shall make my plan fix this, but first I must...'
Bartholomew is about to go into the Gothic store, but instead he sees Stolas Ars Goetia and his daughter Octavia and they are shopping through some things, and at the cash register and working there is Loona Silva Hound, and this is something the goth kid didn't see coming.
"This... what is this?" He then bumps into someone and that someone is Lincoln Silva Hound and he looks pissed off.
"Looks like the cruise ship dragged the dead weight back into our town, and just when we dragged and tossed the heavy weight off as well. Don't try something dumb, we have eyes everywhere on you and we will not hesitate to stop you or send you far away, forever."
Lincoln then walks away, to meet with his mother. Bartholomew growls silently hearing those words. 'Just you wait, when my plan is made and done, then you shall be following my orders, Silva Hound!' He then walks off, to set his plan in motion.
But Bartholomew still is not aware of the drone following him and keeping a close eye on what he has planned.
"To be continued in the next chapter folks!"
A/N: Bartholomew is back and he might be up to something bad and possibly evil, and no way can they allow him to make this happen. They just need to be prepared and keep a very close eye on this Goth boy. I hope you all enjoyed this new chapter folks!
