Chapter 25 - Episode 25

INT. FREIGHT NIGHT FAIR GROUNDS(OUTSIDE) - NIGHT. OCTOBER 31, 2025, 10:00 P.M.

Blake was sitting in his car, feet up on the dashboard bored out of his mind. The only mildly interesting thing that happened was a group of teens sneaking into the fair. Of course he let them sneak, kids just being kids not really doing anything harmful. The sound of smooth jazz could be heard lightly playing throughout the car as Blake struggled to stay awake, he let out a loud sigh, stakeouts by yourself are always boring. The only bright side of this whole mess is the fact he was able to get his car back, though he does miss how much space Rook's car had. Blake fiddled with his watch, he noticed it started looking less old, and rusted compared to before. He never thought he'd be able to wear this thing again, honestly he never wanted to. Maybe it was a little self hatred on his part, or maybe it was the things the church made him hunt years ago that made him lose faith. Putting on the watch was like gaining an old friend back, and honestly it made him feel happy that he could still honor the memory of his dead friend in one way, at least this way he wouldn't fail like he did in the other promise.

Static loudly started to come from the radio he had sitting on the dashboard next to his feet. Lazily looking up from his watch, Balke leaned forward to grab the radio. Once in his hand the radio sputtered to life again, the static sound loud in the car as a voice could be heard. "Officer Eddy….. Reque…..sting …..back up," 

Blake quickly sat up in his seat with a serious expression on his face, "Eddy come in, Eddy!". All Blake heard was static, as now reply came through. "Come in Rook, Alex, Devon, I repeat can anyone hear me?" he asked frantically, he had a bad feeling in his gut as more static came from the radio.

Blake waited, the seconds when the radio finally came to life again, the words broken up as the voice sounded faraway from the radio's speakers. "Requesting…..bac ... .the... .ride…..broke… multiple…..peopl….down…," Eddy said before the line went dead once again, the static finally ending.

Blake screamed as his radio went dead."Dammit! This can't be happening right now." He quickly began searching his car for new batteries, and the loud sounds of screaming started to come from the park. Blake hearing it sped up his search, reaching underneath the passenger seat to see if there were any batteries. Blake did his best to feel around but he felt nothing. Letting out a sigh he sat back up in his seat, at that moment something heavy landed on the hood of his car. BANG! Red liquid splashed all over the window making Blake jump in shock. Scrambling to open the door handle, he quickly exited his car. "GODDAMMIT MY CAR!", he yelled smoke coming from the hood. 

Approaching closer he saw the object that landed on the hood was half of a torn up body. Blood spread all over the hood and slowly dripped to the ground, a small splash could be heard every time a new drop fell down. The intestines, bright pink, slowly rolled out of the body and fell to the ground. The scene was gruesome, and almost made Blake want to throw up. When turned his head to the left to look at the park, he saw nothing, just rides falling to the ground, and the sound of things being thrown. People screaming still filled the air with the sound, it was a place of mayhem as many people were running trying to get to a safe location.

"Ahh you got to love my little handy, it's so beautiful ain't it", a voice whispered in his ear, the tone low, silky. 

Blake quickly swung his fist, but ended up only hitting air. Now turned away from his car, he looked around the clearing and saw nothing, only his car parked and the fence from the fairgrounds. "I don't have time for this shit", he muttered to himself, feeling crazy at the voices he's hearing. He quickly walked back to his car door as he reached for the handle , a strong grip grabbed the back of his head before smashing it in the door window. BAM! Blake's head hit the window hard, but not hard enough to break it. His legs gave out sliding down the door, stunned at the sudden attack.

Aww man I was trying my best to crack the window.", the voice said mockingly coming from right above where Blake was on the ground. A felt a small nudge on his back as the man kept poking and prodding him. "Common old man that little love tap couldn't have been enough to kill. Nope not dead I see your chest rising."

Blake did his best to get his bearings together, stunned that he allowed someone to sneak attack him like that. "Alright enough games time to stand up", The voice said the tone went from mocking and joking to serious. Blake groggily got to his feet, the world spinning less as he leaned on the roof of his car. As soon as he felt a hand go on his shoulder, Blake quickly did a spinning back fist with his shield forming from the watch as he spinned around in a circle. "Woah there I guess you do have some fight in yeah.", the voice chuckled.

Blake's vision cleared up even in the dim light he could see the red cloak, and half mask. A look of recognition crossed his face as he stared down at the figure "So you did keep your promise to attack me aye Evan", he observed stretching out his limbs to loosen up his muscles. His head slowly cleared up, but he knew that would have to fight for his life, and wouldn't have the full chance to recover from the sneak attack. 

Evan's lips formed a small smile, his sharped canines poking out over his teeth. "What can I say, I like to keep my word."

"Oh so attacking from behind is your way of having a fair fight", Blake argued, taking a boxing south paw stance. His right hand forward with the shield out front as if to protect himself.

Evan didn't say any as he charged at Blake, moving fast enough that to the average person he would be a blur. Blake was able to keep track of his movements as Evan started off the fight with a roundhouse kick to Blake's head. Blake ducked under it aiming a right hook at Evan's stomach, Evan took the full brunt of the blow falling on his butt, the intense burning of the holy shield. Evan looked up at Blake in shock. "H.h..ow, h.h.ow..did you get so f..ff..fast", He stuttered as he tried his best to catch his breath.

"Meh I work out and drink plenty of juice", Blake goaded. Watching as Evan struggled to his feet, a small smoke came off the right side of his body. Evan's red cloak had a rip in the shape of Blake's shield. "Are you done playing around or are you ready for round three?

Evan sucked his teeth, held out his hand summoning the same menacing sword as before. His aura turned a black as his pure black sword shone in his hand. "Now the real battle begins", he roared. Charging at Blake he tried to slash at Blake's head but was blocked by Blake's shield. Blake and Evan were locked in a struggle, both trying to overpower the before Blake broke the powerlock by jumping back. Evan followed Blake quickly, not giving him a chance to breath, stabbing at Blake's chest. Luckily Blake was able to quickly parry the attack, smacking the top of his sword making it hit the ground. Sparkings flying through the air, Evan stumbling forward from the sudden hit. Blake went to knee Evan in the face but Evan was able to use his right hand, the one without the sword to block it. Evan then tried to counter with an upper slash with his sword but Blake leaned out of the way. 

"Tch, just die already old man", Evan growled his hood falling down from his head showing off his blue hair to the world.

Blake shrugged his shield in front of him getting ready for this next attack. "Come kill me then already, or are the seven deadly sins really this weak.", he mocked. Evan let out an angry growl, his sharp teeth shining in the air, his aura turning even darker, to the point the black was visible for Blake to see clearly. Blake, not wanting to wait for him to unleash more strength, "Mode Shift.", he shouted the shield disappearing in a bright light before two smaller gauntlets with a pointed edge formed around his fist. The gauntlets were white and silver, it flashed every few seconds. 

"What the hell", Yelled Evan in shock, almost not dodging the punch that Blake aimed at his head. 

Blake threw another jab that Evan was able to dodge out of the way. "You like, when I first got this watch I hated the shield and found you can make other stuff within reason though I was only ever to make gauntlets.", he explained. Sweating started to fall down his face as he started to pick up speed.

Evan didn't reply, his focus on dodging every attack, his eyebrows lowered in concentration. Blake went for a hook that Evan was able to dodge under before using the handle of his sword to hit Blake in the gut. The sudden attack pushed all the air out of Blake's lungs, he stumbled backwards. Evan took the opportunity to try and cut Blake from his neck to his waste. Blake had enough sense to block the blow with his left gauntlet, a small shield forming on the back of his hand. Blake quickly threw an uppercut that hit Evan in the face, strong enough he was lifted off his feet. CLANG! Evan's sword fell from his grip as he went soaring through the sky. Blood almost black falling on the ground, the sound of sizzling skin in the air.

Blake let his guard down as he saw Evan hit the ground with a hard thud, he spit up blood due to the hard hit to the stomach that Evan gave Blake a few moments prior. Leaning over he was taking the time to spit all the blood up out of his mouth while also trying his best to catch his breath. It's been awhile since he has actually had to fight like this, granted it would've been worse before he started exercising again since partner with Rook a few years back. Blake stood up straight, his breathing back to normal, though his muscles are a little stiff, he was about to start walking towards Evan when the ground began to shake heavily. "What the fuck is now", He moaned. Turning towards the right on the fair grounds a giant skeleton covered in blood, slowly chewing down on a body in its hand appeared. Blake was stunned never seeing something like that before with his previous work with the church. 

"HAAHAHAHAHAHA!"Evan's laughter circled around. "Someone old chubby loser like you, to think that you have pushed me this far. That last hit you gave, has been years since I felt pain like that! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Blake quickly turned to Evan's body, disappearing in a black and purple mist. The mist circled and reformed until something else appeared in front of Blake. A monster that towers over Blake, it had to be around six-foot-seven, the monster had a long tail with giant wings. Compared to the slightly skinny person, Evan's muscles bulged like a high end body builder's. The worst part was the aura, it was purple and black, the evil radiating off of it was so strong that Blake could barely stand. His legs trembling in fear at having to face someone so much stronger.

Evan let his aura go standing straight, his lips cracking a wide grin showing off his sharp jagged teeth. "To think you were able to match my human form after a few short days. I see your reputation wasn't all just talk." Evan took a few steps towards Blake, the ground shaking with the strength of each step. "Sigh while this is fun you're going to have to die soon while the barrier between worlds is still weak."

Blake, while scared, still stood strong staring up at Evan's new form. "What do you mean by barrier?", he asked wanting to keep Evan talking as he came up with an idea. 

"Hmm I shouldn't tell you but let me humor you, apparently there's something inside of you that can unlock one of the barriers, or gate to the underworld. Now it's not that gate that we have been looking for but it's enough to serve our purposes.", Evan answered. Now enough questions fight or don't your death is here."

"Wait!"Blake screamed but it fell on deaf ears as Evan appeared next in front of Blake. Blake tried to throw a punch but Evan easily dodged it before kneeing him in the stomach. Blake bent over and Evan kneed him in the face and sent Blake flying. Before Blake could go too far Evan grabbed him out of the air by his angle, swinging him around before slamming him on his back hard on the ground. 

Blake let out a loud groan as Evan stood over his body. "Like I said this is where the fun begins", Evan joked before picking Blake off the ground, flapping his wings and shooting off into the air.
