In a dingy prison cell, a shady figure exchanged an envelope with a corrupt warden, a sly grin spreading across his face. The contents of the envelope revealed a staggering sum of money and a cryptic letter.

Meanwhile, Richard Riley sought guidance from Pastor Josiah, his mentor. "Something sinister lurks in the shadows, what's happening?" Richard asked, his concern palpable.

"This place is called Apocalyptic Valley for a reason," Pastor Josiah replied, his eyes clouding with a mix of fear and resignation. "Purge, the former scientist, unleashed a twisted mind, and his companion, the creature, still terrorizes us."

Richard's eyes widened. "But didn't Cid and the others defeat Purge and rescue Lyra and Angie?"

"They did, but 20 years later, the creature remains, ruling with an iron fist," Pastor Josiah said, his voice frail. "I'm old, Richard, and my time is running out. But I fear for the future, for the creature's grip only tightens."

As the Anderson family's tension reached a boiling point, Angie declared, "I'm leaving, I can't live with you anymore!" Dominic's response was unforgiving: "Leave, then. Don't come back until you can give me a child."

Back in the prison cell, the warden's eyes gleamed as he read the letter, the promise of more wealth and power tempting him. The letter requested access to his office at midnight for a mysterious ritual, signed by "The Elites." The warden's corruption and greed sealed the fate of Apocalyptic Valley, paving the way for a sinister ceremony that would unleash unspeakable horrors.
