There he was, standing right before me and staring deeply into my eyes just the same as he had the moment I first met him. I still was naked and standing in an aura of blackness with only my wooden cross necklace wrapped around my neck. I had loved him so much that I could barely bring myself to tell him that I was leaving. That I wanted no more part of this magical world he had brought me into three years ago and that all the things I had learned from him I now rebuke to the utmost fullest of my well being. But how? How can I bring myself to tell the person that had nurtured me for the past three years that I could no longer be apart of this insanity that he taught me any longer? I had run through this endless tunnel of darkness and madness sweating profusely and wondering how I was ever going to find the same entrance that brought me here in the first place. Father O'Malley had a concerned look on his face, as he must have sensed that my fear was waning and my heart was sinking deeper into the center of my chest.
Father O'Malley -- "Why have you come to my chambers, my child? What is waning on your mind?"
This sentence clouded my mind and thoughts and forced me to think deeply into my inner self and fight the urge to tell him that I was leaving, and would never return as my faith had completely given out and I had nothing left to give to in both body and spirit. I could feel all the muscles in my body aching from sprinting for what seemed like hours. I could feel my mind pounding as my thoughts drifted all over the place in search of the words to form at the forefront of my lips and tell him the things that I knew he never wanted to hear and the things that I thought I would never have enough strength to tell him. A small light glowed above his face from the pocket watch he was holding in his left hand. The only source of light that existed in the entire room and the only source of light that I had seen for hours. It felt comforting for me finally and allowed me to catch my breath and lower my heart rate.
He reaches out to me and places his hands on my shoulder as he bows his head to begin a prayer, I know that at this moment that I can not partake due to the fact that my inner sanctity would not allow me to play this game of pretend any longer with him. For years, since the day that I met him and the day that he gave me this powerful wooden cross necklace that I had fallen and bowed my head to many of his processions in the past. That was when I was young, naive, and had nothing left to lose as I escaped from my parent's home with no real direction for my life or helpless soul. Father O'Malley did give me a sense of self-worth, and for that, I thank him dearly, but I can't keep living in this imaginary realm of make-believe any longer and I wish to return to my life of normalcy again.
He always referred to me as The Chosen One, but what exactly was I being chosen for? Why had no direction been given to me with this precedent? I have to admit that partially the reason why I had the urge to leave and end this all was because of the enormous amount of anonymity that Father O'Malley constantly kept me wondering about on a regular basis. He still had not answered that question that I asked of him on the very first day that he took me under his wing.
Mark Christian -- "Why have you come for me, Father O'Malley?"
I could tell the moment those words left my lips that he was struggling to give me the answer and would rather just avoid the subject completely. But he must have known from the persistence in my voice that I wasn't going to go without an answer any longer. He stood looking at my naked body up and down with his light barely giving off any illumination. I knew he wasn't staring at me in a sexual nature, but rather an inquisitive one as to why my nudity had come to exist. For three long years, I wanted an answer to this question! For three long years, I had sat in wonder and disorientation! Just tell me Father! TELL ME!
Father O'Malley -- "Why do you fear the future of your destiny?"
It was at that moment I knew that his dodging of the question was going to be my resignation to all of this. I could take it no longer! I had succumbed to his will like a willing lab rat and let him control me as if I was some type of experiment in his dark twisted laboratory in some alternate dimension! I then reach for the necklace and grip it tightly around my neck, feeling its power pulsate through my body for one last time before removing it from my neck and holding it out in front of me. Dangling it directly in front of the light emancipating from Father O'Malley's pocket watch. My nerves are completely on edge, but I knew what I must do to end this charade of cataclysmic proportions. I was not powerful and far too weak enough to be The Chosen One. I was then brought back in my memories, to that time when the necklace first floated into my face and seemingly chose me to be its ultimate proprietor. Father O'Malley looked at me and his eyes opened wide and his facial expression exuded an exemplary sight of dread and disdain.
Mark Christian -- "TAKE IT! Take it and rid me of this plague that you have professed to me! I will be no more a slave to you and to this faith!"
At that moment a crackling in the sky like a bolt of lightning thundered overhead and a shattering of glass rained down upon us from the sky from where I assumed could only be the ceiling. A person falls from that ceiling and land right before us beneath our feet. He looks completely bedraggled as his clothes were torn in many places and his body reeked of a deplorable nature. His skin was of the most blanketed pale white and his body was covered in bruises and cuts from head to toe.
The look on his face as he stood up and dusted himself off was of complete anger as he approached Father O'Malley and pulled from under his torn white shirt a necklace similar to mine, but only it was of a more sinister nature. He bears the sign of an inverted pentagram as he flashes it before Father O'Malleys face who backs away with a screaming voice shouting and echoing up through the air and into the open ceiling far above our heads that can not be seen. Father O'Malley turns his face to look away as the perpetrator brings his inverted pentagram necklace closely to his face and grinds his teeth while biting his lower lip so hard that a sliver of blood comes dripping down his face.
The inverted pentagram necklace must have blinded Father O'Malley as a black light darker then the darkness I had been lost running in, shines directly into his eyes. I could see its dark radiating hue glowing in his hands as he held it closer and closer to Father O'Malley's face, who in a last-ditch effort before the person can put it directly in front of his face pulls out his pocket watch and shines the white gleaming rays of light back upon the person that was attacking him. Haltering the black shadows that came from the inverted pentagram necklace.
This causes the person to back away and halter his attack immediately and cower backward once again. Father O'Malley then screeches with a deep boisterous tone so powerful and direct that it scared me even, although I knew that it was not for me in which he intended the immense growl to be directed upon.
Father O'Malley -- "BE GONE! BE GONE HIDEOUS BEAST! BE GONE DANTE KYLLEN! I have chosen a new vessel in which this world will use as an epic warrior to the ending of this saga! You come here from the creature most foul and his command is of no use to you here! This is my domain and in here you will be the most domicile demon and I will lock you in the dungeon from which you came!"
Unknown Soldier -- "Not this time Father O'Malley! My MASTER! now holds the ultimate power in this world! I am his Soldier and this universe is HIS! and will forever be!"
The two lock eyes with an intense staredown as Dante Kyllen licks his lips and Father O'Malley breaks the stare by turning to Mark Christian and calls to him with his arm outstretched asking for his assistance.
Father O'Malley -- "You want the answer to your question, Mark! Well, here it is! You are the CHOSEN ONE that must defeat the Unknown Soldier! The power of God chose you and now you must make the ultimate choice and use the power that was given to you for the purpose in which it was created! Use the tool in which was given to you to make yourself triumphant in the eyes of the Lord once again! Now! Take the necklace my boy, and fight this demon swine back to the depths of hell from which it came! The power lies within you! The necklace chose you!"
Mark Christian looks perplexed by the calling of his long-time companion and father figure that he was about to toss aside or all eternity. The look of complete shock and awe comes across his face as he stands frozen naked in the darkness as he was unable to move after the unexpected events that transpired before him. He looks down at the necklace that was still dangling off the edge of his fingertips and a look of determination comes across his face as he once again cradles it in his palm once again. Gripping it tightly and gaining the confidence he needs as he comes to the realization that this eternal practice of prayer was for an actual purpose. His question had been answered, and his motivation was now to take up his tool and make this his triumphant time in the eyes of the Lord against this wretched beast that came flying through the ceiling.
The Unknown Soldier looks over at Father O'Malley's apprentice as his attention was diverted as he now notices the holy necklace held in his grasp, in direct contrast to his own evil inverted pentagram necklace, and makes the realization that this was the young boy that his master SATAN! sent him to kill.
Unknown Soldier -- "You want to fight naked, the way in which we were both brought into this world."
Unknown Soldier removes his clothing and then holds his inverted pentagram necklace and outstretches it in his hand directed it right at Mark Christian, as a long bolt of red fire comes out of its end and a sword of pure fire with glowing red flames stretches out four feet in front of his face.
Father O'Malley -- "Use the necklace, Mark! Use its power and stop the evil from enduring for all eternity!"
Unknown Soldier comes running at Mark Christian with his blade drawn and flailing it above his head menacingly. Mark still stands frozen with fear like a deer caught in headlights looking as if Unknown Soldier was going to cut him in two! Mark blinks his eyes and shakes his head and then holds out his wooden cross necklace outstretching it just the same as his opponent. He closes his eyes as it looks like he is bringing himself into a deep state of concentration. He takes a deep breath and just as Unknown Soldier raises his sword to slice him in half the wooden cross necklace lets lose a long light twice the size of Unknown Soldier's. A blinding light of glowing colors of the rainbow. His eyes still closed he can feel the power outstretching from his necklace and also feels Soldier's fire lance crossing it as he quells his attack.
With his eyes still closed the duel begins as the two clash swords in the darkness, Mark Christian becoming more and more invigorated as the power builds deeper and deeper inside his soul. It's clear he is starting to get the upper hand, as Soldier is retreating with every strike that Mark Christian makes. The swords clang and clash vigorously as the two appear to be well trained in the art, although Mark's skills must have appeared and were made more powerful by some UNKNOWN source as the power of his necklace was guiding him throughout the fight. Never before had he been taught in the art of sword fighting, yet on this destined day, he was meant to win as Unknown Soldier drops to the ground and his inverted pentagram necklace goes flailing off into the distance. Mark opens his eyes, as he was fighting with them closed this entire time, and holds the end of his blade to Unknown Soldier's throat.
Father O'Malley -- "Kill him! End the evil that exists in this universe! Destroy this foul beast and send him back to hell from which he came!"
Mark Christian hesitates as he searches his soul to find the inner strength to finally rid the universe of this evil creature. His hesitation would be his downfall, as from across the midnight sky in the black endless void where no ceiling encircles them a giant bolt of fire comes shooting down from the sky like a star skyrocketing through the sky. When it hits the ground directly beside the two it splits the ground in two and separates with a lake of river and fire splitting up like fissures beneath the surface. Splitting Mark Christian from Unknown Soldier as Dante Kyllen drifts off on a small piece of land that barely can contain him from falling into the pit. When the smoke settles eventually where the star from the sky struck the ground, the dark evil figure of our PRESIDENT! emerges and his face is in a fit of rage as in his right hand a Taco Bell toasted cheddar chalupa in which he lifts to his mouth and finishes the final bite.
SATAN! -- "I guess if you want to get things done, you have to do it yourself. We meet again, Father O'Malley! But this time it will be I who ends up the victor in this endless war we have been fighting since the dawn of time."
Father O'Malley holds up his pocket watch again, as the scriptures and design on its surface of the demon swallowing the mother mary now makes perfect sense, as it was obviously intended to ward off the world from the Evil One that just came scorching through the sky.
Father O'Malley -- "You can not defeat the Chosen One, for his power, was a gift from God that I have trained and given to him. We will exorcise thee from the vessel that you have chosen to take! Your weakness is in your choice to live and walk amongst this universe and the Chosen One and I will exorcise thee from this world and send you back into the pits of purgatory for all eternity!"
SATAN! -- "Your powers have weakened with your age, old man, and this time I will shower this universe down in a pit of fire and flames for me to rule here forevermore!"
The PRESIDENT! reaches his hand up to the sky and a giant meteor of fire comes crashing down next to Father O'Malley who barely gets out of the way before being hit right in the face. As he leaps to his side, the PRESIDENT! gathers his hands together as if he were holding a crystal ball that develops a charge of lightning in his hands. He takes this ball of lightning and flings it at Father O'Malley, who once again leaps out of the way just in the nick of time. He falls to his hands and knees looking completely dejected as he once again calls out to Mark Christian!
Father O'Malley -- "Use the necklace Mark, exorcise this demon from his human vessel! EXORCISE HIM!"
Mark Christian looks once again shell-shocked and unsure of what to do with himself, but with his new sense of confidence once again digs deep inside his inner soul and holds the necklace out towards the PRESIDENT! as a beam of shining light brighter than anything he had seen before comes blasting from its center and lights up the entirety of the room in which was cast in complete shadows previously.
He sees with this ray of light, that he is in the same church from where he received the necklace in the first place, although now it is a pit of hellfire and despair from when the PRESIDENT! came crashing down upon it. Father O'Malley holds out his pocket watch as well, as the two beams of light focus both of their energies directly on top of the PRESIDENT! who is now levitating and convulsing in a fit of seizures. Lightning crashes across the sky and strikes the PRESIDENT! as the battle to exorcise the human vessel's soul out of the demon persists for hours with him rolling around floating in the air and fighting with every inch of his power that he has.
Fire begins to reign down from the sky as both Mark Christian and Father O'Malley move around dodging the fiery meteors and continue to get the upper hand as the PRESIDENT! eyes roll into the back of his head. He spits up green vomit and twits his head around and around faster and faster! Eventually, a trail of black smoke comes trailing out of his mouth as the body falls back down to the ground. The body that was the vessel for the evil spirit then awakens as a mask falls off its face. He looks around looking lost and confused, then makes a quick exit through the door looking scared out of his wits and who wouldn't be at the scene that he was awoken to.
The smoke travels around aimlessly all over the place until it eventually comes right up to Father O'Malley's face and enters his mouth that was reciting the prayers as his eyes were closed concentrating on the exorcism. Father O'Malley starts to convulse and shake uncontrollably, and as he opens his eyes it's revealed that a pair of red flames glow in the irises behind them. He slaps Mark Christian across the face and forces him to his knees with a bolt of lightning that came from his fingertips. Mark Christian kneels before him as FATHER O'MALLEY! slaps him across the face again.
SATAN! -- "Your powers are no match for me, young one, I sense the questioning you have of your faith flowing through you. I sense that you wish for a life far from faith! I know you Mark Christian, for it is I that created you and brought you into this universe. You've known me ever since the day you knew Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny not to be real and when you bent that cross behind your back many years ago and swore your life away from the faith. Give yourself to me. Become my Unknown Soldier and together we will rule this universe for all eternity! I am unstoppable you see, and there's no going back. Join me or die Mark Christian! Join me or die!"
Over on his boulder Dante Kyllen begins to squirm and rise to his feet as he sees Mark Christian kneeling before FATHER O'MALLEY! Tears come tumbling down his face as he must have known the exact events that were transpiring right in front of him almost as if he stood exactly in Mark Christian's shoes at one time. He remembers the weakness he felt on that day. He remembers the fear he felt on that day. He remembers he couldn't find the strength to fight back on that day. Mark Christian has that strength obviously as he spits directly in FATHER O'MALLEYS!'s face....
Mark Christian -- "I'll never join you. You are evil incarnate, and one day this universe will fight back and end your reign of terror you fucking bastard!"
FATHER O'MALLEY! snaps his fingers and sends Mark Christian tumbling into the fissures of fire in the pits below, burning in a river of fire his body dissipates and disappears as the sounds of his screaming can be heard and echo throughout the church. FATHER O'MALLEY! turns to Dante Kyllen and levitates him back to his side.
SATAN! -- "Come, my Soldier. Your weakness will be punished severly as you let this insignificant asshole overpower you. Your tears are a sign that we must lash the remaining human emotions that still dwell within your father's filthy human bloodline out of you! MY SOLDIER! of all people! This universe is still my playpen and will be forevermore! In this universe, evil always wins!"
FATHER O'MALLEY latches a dog collar around Unknown Soldier as he leads him out of the church on a leash, almost dragging him like a small puppy with his feet dragging behind. Choking and demeaning him! Dante Kyllen takes one last look down in the pit of fire where Mark Christian lost his life and deep within his soul wishes that he was strong enough; so long ago, so that the two could have traded places. Dante Kyllen picks up his inverted pentagram necklace as the two make their way out of the scene.

A tubby kid in a trump mask sits in a LAZY-BOY recliner trying to shove Taco Bell toasted cheddar chalupas into his mouth, but is failing as the food falls in his lap since it can't make its way through the small opening in the mask. He's watching FOXNEWS as Donald Trump comes up to a podium to make an announcement.
Donald Trump -- "Today, we nuke North Korea into oblivion."
Tubby Kid -- "Wow, turns out this guy still is a douchebag with or without that demon inside of him."
The tubby kid then breaks out into a fit of seizures and convulsions as he falls to the floor flopping around like a dead fish. After about two minutes of this seizure fit, he dies suddenly of a heart attack. Too many Taco Bell toasted cheddar chalupas will do that to you.
