Howler's Demise.

Howler flew over to the two that were chained up. "You want them back?" said Howler. Alvin roared: "OF COURSE I DO!" Howler raised his talons on Alvin's friends. "Come and get them." he said. Instead of rushing over to save his friends, Alvin stood there in complete silence. Howler looked at Alvin. "What's the matter? Are you too scared to come save them? Or do you wa-" as Howler was about to finish his sentence. Alvin shot him in the leg. "Continue with your monologue, I'll have you killed before you can even finish it." said Alvin.

"I'll never let you lay your filthy talons on my friends. Especially those two. They were my childhood friends, they were there for me when I was having tough times. I'd never let you hurt them." Alvin said. Howler was now standing on the ground, his left leg still bleeding from the bullet. "I'll kill you... I swear I will." Howler said as he positions himself to attack Alvin. Alvin loaded another bullet into the rifle, this time aiming to injure his other leg. "OH NO YOU DON'T!" shouted Howler. He bolted forward knocking Alvin down on the ground. Alvin still had the upper hand as he shot Howler in the right wing.

Alvin stood back up. He looked back. There he was. Howler, laying on the ground with an axe in his liver, a hole in his right wing and a severely injured left wing moving just a little. Alvin walked over to his friends and unchained them. "Let's get out of here, yeah?" he said. He then unmasked them and escorted them outside. Just as Alvin thought it was over, Howler burst through the roof of the church and shouted: "YOU'LL NEVER GET AWAY WITH THIS! I WILL LEAVE YOU SCARRED FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!"

Alvin looked at Howler dead in the eyes. "What are you going to do?" he said. Howler looked at the road that leads to the entrance of the church. There was a car approaching. Alvin's father stepped out of the car along with Mimi and Jack. Howler chuckled. "I'm pretty sure you know what I'm about to do next." Alvin ran as fast as he could to prevent any deaths. But, Howler was faster. He swooped in to attack Mimi but Jack stabbed him in the eye with Alvin's switchblade. Half blind, Howler went for another attack without knowing who he was killing. "NO!" cried Alvin.

At that moment, everyone was shocked. Howler's talons had stabbed Alvin's father. Although he was not Alvin's biological father, Alvin's spirit was still crushed by the sight of his guardian being pierced by the talons of a mutated owl. Alvin roared in anger. "HOW DARE YOU! YOU'VE ALREADY TAKEN MY BIOLOGICAL DAD AWAY FROM ME! AND NOW MY FOSTER-FATHER TOO?!"

Alvin readied the rifle and shot at Howler. This time, he hit Howler's tail. Howler stumbled down and hit the car. "I'll never forgive you.. You piece of shit." Alvin said while tearing up. It was just then, he realized something on one of Howler's feathers. It was a key. It was a simple key with markings of the name "Howler" written in Japanese. The key was designed to fit Howler as well. With carvings that looked like feathers and a red gem in the bow that resembled Howler's eyes. There was a carving of an owl in the center of the gem to represent the guardian of the key. Which was of course, Howler.

Howler struggled to get back up. "Stop struggling... I shouldn't feel remorse for you. Just stop struggling... It makes me feel bad when I don't want to." Alvin said. Howler cried out: "P-Please... D-Don't do this t-to me..." with his dying breath. Alvin closed his eyes. "I have to do this to you. There's no other choice... You murdered my foster-father, I can't forgive you. The best I could do is to make this quick." murmured Alvin. He shut his eyes. And pulled the trigger on Howler. The sound of the gun being fired rang in everyone's ears. As Alvin reopened his eyes, two lifeless body lay in front of him. His foster-father, on the road. A huge hole through the body. Intestines lying on the road. On the other hand, Howler's body laid on top of the car.

It was brutal. There was a huge hole in Howler's chest. Holes scattered throughout his body. Alvin took one last look at Howler. Then the Sun rose. Alvin and his friends looked at the Sun. "It's all over now..." said Mimi. Alvin smiled and glanced at Howler. As the sunlight shines on his dead body, it disintegrates. Only the key was left, sitting on a pile of ashes. "Farewell, you ugly bird." said Alvin. He picked up the key and kept it in his bag. Alvin sighed: "Let's go home..."

[Epilogue]

"I'm surprised they killed Howler... Maybe this one can fight. Well... This 'Yoshimi' will be a little bit harder to kill then." groaned Nightmare. As he sits on his throne, he grabbed his pet chameleon. "Jade... Aren't you a good girl..?" Nightmare said. "FEAR" started dripping out of his hands. He injects it into Jade the chameleon. "Good girl... Go murder some children now. Or even better... Trap them inside our old place forever. You know where that is. Don't you?"
