Clash Of The Worlds: The Anomaly

Chapter 10

But just when Haley thinks she's killed the Collector... The Collector comes back to life. Everyone is shocked. "You think you can kill me in my own museum? My soul will return here forever..." The Collector declared. "Wait. If Haley can't even kill her, then how are we gonna kill her?" Mark Rober asked, afraid of the answer. "Yours, on the other hand, will go to hell! Meet my latest collection!" The Collector slammed her staff down, and a portal opened up. A bunch of monsters from the previous locations came out of the portal. "She brought them all back!" "Remember them? They have not forgotten you. Bring me their heads!" The Collector yelled. 

The group runs away from the monsters. The only way to escape tonight is to get that final key. "How are we gonna do it with all of these killer monsters chasing us everywhere?" Alex asked.  The group sees that the Armageddon clock just opened up, and there's a note inside. "The Collector's wrath holds no limit. If any of her monsters capture you, you'll be taken to the Gorgon's lair and held for two minutes before being slain by the carnival master." The note doesn't explain what the red sand is. "To be released, the others must all place a hand on the warrior statue." "Listen, we're in this together. We've fought through so much to be here, and I wanna escape the night with you all.  So if any of us get caught, we have to promise each other that we're gonna go to the Gorgon's lair and get each other free," Joey announced. The others agreed. "I'll protect you, Rosanna. I'm not letting you die tonight," Alex stated. Ro's eyes light up as she smiled at Alex. Tareq takes the red sand.

There's a note in Haley's spellbook. "The Collector cannot be slain in her museum, but she can be turned to stone by the Sword Of All Legends. An emblem from each era must be gathered and placed around Excalibur to receive it. The first lies within the halls of Egypt." "Well, there's your answer, Mark," Jimmy told. Mark Rober chuckled. "Come on guys, we don't have time!" To the Egyptian exhibit. "Play with us!" A monster yelled. "Yeah, they're insane. Let's not talk about it.""The letters of a land forgotten by time can release me." There's some sort of code with these letters. "Is Egypt five letters?" "Let's try "Egypt." That's five letters," Matthew told. The codex opens, and inside, Colin finds the next clue and the first emblem. It's an emerald green color.
"The second emblem sits beneath Vishnu's feet." The plan is to stick together. "Right, go! Run!"

 Not even a few seconds later, the plan has failed, and now it's every person for themself. Eventually, they find each other and get to the rotunda, where Vishnu resides. "Carry the bags of sacred earth across the grounds to the remains of Garuda to help him pay his penance in hell." There are three bags, and no remains. "Garuda... Wait, that's Bobin. So are we just paying him back for all of the bad things he did?" Tareq asked. Bobin laughs awkwardly. "Sorry guys..." Bobin put his hand to the back of his neck, embarrassed. "Get in the circle, dude." Bobin stands where the "remains" are supposed to be. Jimmy quickly carries the bags to the circle. 

Bobin suddenly disappears into pixels, finally released from Purgatory. There's a chest in the back, and it opens. "The next one lies where the emperor once sat to think." "We have to be careful. There's still monsters out everywhere." "The emperor loved to think of himself as a hero. Assemble the c-"  A clown runs in, and the group is trying to hide under this dinky table, and by the grace of God, she doesn't spot them. She leaves, and Matthew locks the doors. "Assemble the character before the throne using the reeds to truly become one." "These are reeds. I think we have to use these to make that symbol right there. So we need the two little ones here. Have another long one right here." Once Jimmy puts the sticks in their correct order, a chest pops open. Another crystal. "The next lies where flesh becomes stone." It's either Mortimer's statue or the Gorgon's lair again. "You guys, he's coming! He's coming!" Run!" This vampire is bad, so they have to run from him, and he just continues to chase them. 

In the Gorgon's lair, the group runs in. They find Jin, for the third time this night. "Only when the garden of stone faces the Gorgon's killer, will the secret be given up." "Who killed the Gorgon?" Jin asked. "How have we seen you 3 times this night already?" Safiya asked. Jin shrugged.  "Oh, my God, Benjamin," Joey said. Desperate times call for desperate hiding spots. "I think they went that way!" Jin diverted Benjamin, the man with long arms... and no name.  The garden of stone needs to be facing the beast. "So do we have to move all of these to face him? "Exactly, let's do that." "Okay, start turning them." "This one's already facing him."  And a box opened with a bottle of blood in it and a note. "The Gorgon was once a member of the Society Against Evil before the Collector turned her. Her blood holds the voice of vengeance and gives the sword the power of turning flesh to stone. Excalibur must be bathed in it to complete its transformation. The next emblem resides where wishes are given." This is the ultimate vengeance for what she did to the Gorgon.
