"....and then they came to discover the mole within...."
FIVE DAYS BEFORE LEGION APOCALYPSE....
An unknown voice echoes out of the darkness
"The evil that exists in the world we see are countless but the purest of evil exists only in our hearts locked from ourselves. We don't have the power to unlock this form of evil unless there is.....a....catalyst. Something to trigger the most brutal and savage of behaviours. This catalysts has cost men their lives, women....their children and children their mothers....it has burned the fires of hell out and has frozen the most holy places. This catalysts is the fuel of war....the super weapon of destruction. This catalysts turns friend to sudden enemies. I have found this catalyst and I have unlocked my purest evil and I fear that it is changing me. I'm afraid I can't hide it anymore....my purpose is to stop doomsday once and for all but I feel that the things I need to do to stop it are rather unholy....I'm afraid I am going to do the unthinkable. I will have betray the only one that trusts me so much "
LOCATION: SOUTHERN BARDENCOCK, RAINY NIGHT.
Rain drops in heavy fold on the secluded city of Bardencock. Lighted windows are seen all over the buildings. One tall building catches our attention. Right above the building, we see a man in an Exorcist outfit just like that of Shawn but the entity is different. He is slightly bigger and taller than Shawn. He even has a cowboy hat. We move closer to see that his face is seriously scarred. It's like a whole half of his face was burned by fire. He has obviously being through a lot as the aura around him depict pure hatred and cruelty. He stands above looking down on the pitiful city as rain drops down on him.
Behind him, a bright portal opens and someone steps out. Someone we recognize very well. This is no other person than Father Aaron. He appears to be wearing his priest outfit. He walks up to the strange man.
FATHER AARON
Why did you choose to see me here?
ELI
The cities in this dimension are quite eye-catching. Especially when it rains.
FATHER AARON
Bardencock is quite a cold city.
ELI
So..... how's the....
FATHER AARON
Critical. The portal seal is down to it's last available energy. The darkness in that hole is chewing on all the available energy surrounding it. Doomsday is near and I'm afraid I have the whole Collins Miller problem all over again.
ELI
Argus dimension died yesterday Aaron....my dimension died. All survivors are seeking refuge in the Eternal Kingdom. Our doomsday was quite faster.
FATHER AARON
Why are you telling me this?
ELI
I'm telling you this because I want you to know that the doomsday is not something to toy with. The demons waiting at that portal.... they're angry and ferocious. They will possess each soul in your dimension turning you against each other....they will cause a war. Your people will despise each other. Your people will hate each other and then....your people will kill each other.
FATHER AARON
I know...I know...
ELI
Among all the dimensions that houses the humans, only this one is still standing. The devil's is struggling to pull this one off.
FATHER AARON
....
ELI
If taking a soul stops doomsday from taking over your world...why not take it?
FATHER AARON
That soul is innocent.....
ELI
If the soul remains alive, you all will die.
FATHER AARON
I...I just can't
ELI
Light Lord sent me to you Aaron. That's the main reason I'm here.
FATHER AARON
WHAT?
ELI
He sent me to tell you that if I'm ten days you do not stop the demons from breaking that barrier permanently....you will be transferred to the library while I will assume authority of this dimension's Exorcism Council and stop it once and for all.
FATHER AARON
WHAT!!!
ELI
You are weak Aaron. And a weak man can't be left in charge of the safety of a dimension. You must complete this task in ten days or I will take over.
The strange man who we now know as Eli walks up to the edge of the building roof and stares down.
ELI
A little advice for an old friend, Aaron...if taking away the energy and soul of a precious baby saves the lives of countless millions, then take it. I will be back. Till then...ta ta.
Eli immediately jumps off the roof. Father Aaron quickly runs to the edge of the building and what happens next is a total shock. A bright beam light shoots out from beneath at great speed and with great force. The beam of light shoots high into the sky like a gigantic Lazer and then it's gone. Eli is gone.
FATHER AARON JUST STANDS THERE MESMERIZED. He hasn't seen his friend do this before.
FATHER AARON'S THOUGHTS 💭
Only those who have reached a high stage of holy energy acquisition have the ability to use the soul projection. He is indeed powerful. He would no thought subdue me in a fight.

LOCATION: UNKNOWN
A purple midst fill the air in this location. The mist begins to clear off to reveal that we are in the room of a beautiful mansion. There are lots of luxurious stuffs. Majestic cushion chairs, well furnished walls, engraved ceilings and objects. But of everything thing that catches our attention, something even catches it more. It is noticed that engravings of a skull with horns lay on every object in the room. A man sits in the room facing a table stuffed with lots of books. This man seems to be very busy with one of the books. On the pages we spot lots of runes and dark spells. We observe the man's physique and notice that he has lots of tattoos on his face and arguably all over his body. He is Pachinko. A bright portal opens behind him and Father Aaron steps out. Pachinko quickly realizes who it is but concentrates on the book he is studying.
PACHINKO
What is a priest of God doing in a Devil Worshipper's hide out?
FATHER AARON
Wrong...it's Devil Manager's hideout.
PACHINKO
What difference does it make?
FATHER AARON
A devil worshipper devotes his time to worshipping the devil...he sees the devil as a god...someone to give all the glory and respect and obey and praise. But on the other hand, a devil's manager sees the devil as a business partner, someone to exploit, gain from and cheat on. The devil's manager has the ability to opt out anytime.
PACHINKO turns away from his book and faces Father Aaron.
PACHINKO
Well spoken. Very well spoken. What is your treacherous ass doing here?
FATHER AARON
I need your help.
PACHINKO turns back to the book he was studying earlier and closes it. He smiles as he does this
PACHINKO
What makes you think I will help the likes of you? I mean you really have the guts man. I give you that.
FATHER AARON
Look listen to....
PACHINKO
Shut the fucking fuck up fucker. You do not talk when I talk.
FATHER AARON
.....
PACHINKO
I have sworn to avenge my father through many possible ways and killing you is one of them. You coming to my domain just makes things a whole lot easier.
FATHER AARON
I'm sorry.
Pachinko begins to grow a ball of purple energy on his right hand. His tattoos glow bright purple and he begins to emit strong purple energy. The ball of energy keeps growing
FATHER AARON
I brought you something better. The man who took your father's glory, he has a son.
PACHINKO cools down immediately after hearing those last words. He sits on his chair.
FATHER AARON
His name is Shawn and he has your sister and your coin. I need you to distract him.
PACHINKO
Gregory Collins had a son...how nice.
FATHER AARON
If you can do this for me, I will link you up with the Eternal Council and you can do all you want with them.
PACHINKO
YOU WILL?
FATHER AARON
Yes...I will. You have always wanted to go there right?
PACHINKO
....
FATHER AARON
I just need you to mess with his head a little. Tell him false stories, keep him engaged then pretend to be his ally while you're his enemy. The condition here is this.... DO NOT TELL HIM ABOUT WHAT I DID TO YOUR FATHER AND HIS FATHER. DO NOT TELL HIM THAT I KILLED HIS FATHER
FLASHBACK
TEN YEARS AGO...
Ten years ago, we see two men talking to each other on the top of a building in Bardencock. We identify them to be Father Aaron and Pachinko.
FATHER AARON
I want it to be fast and precise.
PACHINKO
Sure. I have a demon in stock for him. He'll never see it coming.
FATHER AARON
Don't harm the child okay...
PACHINKO
Sure. By tomorrow, the legend of Gregory Collins dies. Just make sure you fulfill your part of the deal.
FATHER AARON
...I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR THAT YOU TOLD HIM EVEN THE SLIGHTEST OF THE WHOLE EVENT. Do that and I will allow you into the eternal portal. Your sins against the council will be forgiven.
PACHINKO
I remember that day Father Aaron. You never fulfilled your part of the deal. Instead, you roped me up and tossed me in the trash can. Spoilt my image. If anything goes wrong with your part of the deal this time, I will....kill you in the most brutal way humanly possible.
FATHER AARON
I'm for real this time.
PACHINKO
I know you to be a big liar Aaron. You're no father....you're a liar. You've manipulated everyone and everything under you for a long time. I won't let you win this time. I promise.
3 days before Legion Apocalypse...
A loud bang is heard and immediately in slow motion, We see PACHINKO falling down to the ground from a gunshot to the Chest. Blood oozes out of the bullet wound. We see Father Aaron standing over him with a smoking revolver in his hand.
FATHER AARON
That was a demon piercing round...so your satanic body is pretty screwed.
PACHINKO
Y...you fucker.
FATHER AARON
You really thought that I would let you into the eternal council....you thought I had the keys to light kingdom. You're so pathetic.
PACHINKO
Your... you're a piece of shit.
FATHER AARON
You're right. I'm a liar, a thief, a cheater and the name goes on and on and on. One thing is indisputable...I'm the only one who is willing to accommodate those bad names for the good, betterment and survival of humanity. I'm sorry it has to end like this Chinko. Your father would be proud.
Father Aaron stands upright and leaves the scene. PACHINKO slowly closes his eyes and Everything goes black as we hear the voice of Father Aaron repeating his last words, "your Father would be proud" over and over again like a sound loop. The voice begins to fade away.
We think this is the end for Pachinko until Boom! He opens his eyes. This time they're glowing red. His tattoos are glowing pure red. An energy is radiating from him. He stamps his hands on the ground and the energy creates a red portal. Several magma filled hands protrude out of the portal and begins to drag PACHINKO into the red void.
LOCATION: LOGORTH DIMENSION, ETERNAL DARK EMPIRE
At the other end of the portal, we see lots Magma monsters pulling PACHINKO. Out of the portal. A woman stands at the back. She seems to be the commander of the red hot stone army. She wears red gown and has a braid hairstyle. Her skin is covered in the tattoos similar to that of Pachinko. She is also a Devil's Manager.
PACHINKO'S tattoos have stopped glowing and he is almost unconscious. He opens his eyes one last time to see the ones who has received him. Tanya stands above him looking down at his pathetic face. One man stands beside her and he is so familiar. We quickly see that it is Mattias(see episode 3). Mattias now has tattoos too
TANYA
Welcome back Manager.
MATTIAS
Feels good to see your face again man. We better patch you up.
Pachinko's eyes slowly go shut and everything goes black.
LOCATION: LOGORTH DIMENSION, QUEEN'S QUARTERS
We see a naked body lying on an a well tiled ground. This is the body of Pachinko. He is waking up now. His chest has being bandaged. He seems well. Flashes of memories before the bullets fall on him. He staggers as he stands up and makes his way to the entrance of the room. A voice startles him from behind.
TANYA
You have very beautiful tattoos.
Pachinko turns towards the voice. Tanya sits on a chair opposite him.
PACHINKO
W
hat kind of a woman stairs boldly at a man without clothes?
TANYA
A woman that likes him.
PACHINKO
Well...how the hell did I get here.
Tanya stands from the chair holding clothes. She tosses them towards PACHINKO who wears them.
TANYA
Wear that.You have a battle ongoing in your dimension. I believe the one who put you in this condition is winning. Come back after you've taken care of that.
Pachinko wears the outfit which resembles that of an Exorcist but this time it comes with a helmet. A helmet resembling a skull with horns.
TANYA
Here take this. You'll need it.
Tanya tosses a shotgun towards PACHINKO who catches it and corks it. A red portal suddenly opens
TANYA
Go now!
PACHINKO wears the helmet and runs towards the portal.
TANYA
Everything I gave you has a meaning...use them effectively and Pachinko!
Pachinko stops and looks back to receive the final instruction.
TANYA
Come back once you're done...we have a lot to talk about.
Pachinko nods firmly and enters into the red portal.
LOCATION: FATHER AARON'S CHURCH OF EXORCISM AND DEMONIC EXPULSION.
Just in the moment when Father Aaron is about to pull the trigger which kills Shawn, Pachinko steps in and a loud bang echoes through the room. Father Aaron falls to the ground shocked and baffled. He roll over and faces the roof of the room while lying on the ground. Pachinko leans above him holding his smoking shotgun and at that moment, we feel an event occurring all over again. Just that it's inverse. Shawn is still bleeding but Pachinko just has to finish this before anything.
PACHINKO
I told you I would kill you. Didn't I?
