Patrick arrived at Gerard's house, bringing the briefcase of evidences on his theory about Brendon having the 'devil's key' but no one is inside Gerard's house. Patrick sighs in response.
"Probably Gerard is in office at the church.." He said to himself and he walks down the pavements as he saw the young boy with a red beanie riding his tricycle.Both of them had an eye contact and Patrick had this weird feeling inside him.
"Did I met him before..?" He said in his mind and the young boy just stared at Patrick nonchalantly. Patrick gave him a small innocent smile but the young boy gasped in response.
"Watch out!" The young boy shouted and he pointed Patrick's back.
Patrick turned around but it's too late. A man in a red cloak electrocuted him which made Patrick loses his consciousness. The people in red cloak dragged him as the young boy is very terrified.
He drives away from them as far as he can."I should tell this to Fr. Gerard!" He said in his mind.

Later on, Patrick woke up when the people in red cloak removed the cover in Patrick's head. His vision is not clear and his head hurts so bad and he feel so dizzy. As his vision went clear, he saw he was surrounded and by the people in red cloak and the blurry faced wolf is growling at him. Patrick flinched until he realised he was strapped in a chair. He tried to escape but he can't.
"W- why am I here...? What did I do to you?!" Patrick shouted but they didn't respond and the wolf barks at him angrily.A loud footsteps echoed in this empty room and they stepped back in the dark as a familiar face showed up from the dark.
"B- Brendon..? Brendon help me! These people kidnapped me!" Patrick pleads but Brendon just smirks at Patrick.
"Brendon..?" Patrick looked at Brendon with awful puppy eyes as Brendon leans closer and he held Patrick's chin.

"Why would I do that?" Brendon whispers and he let go of Patrick's chin.Patrick can't think straight anymore.
He was so confused "Brendon, what do you mean? Help me!" Patrick pleads.
"Why would I help you?! I'm the one who commanded my disciples to abduct you!" Brendon shouted.
Patrick gasped, "what?! Why?!"Brendon chuckles in response.
"I thought you were smarter than Gerard, but you're just like him or dumber than him." He said as he pulled out his source of power out from his shirt, dangling around his neck.
Patrick gasped and his blood rises up "I knew it! You stole the devil's key! I was right!!!" Patrick shouted.
"Whoo! You're right!" Brendon laughs."But why..?" Patrick asked with both confusion and disappointment.
"I thought you don't believe in demons and God? Why did you stole the key? How did you stole that ancient artifact?" Patrick's fist clenched.
"Hold your tongue baby! Slow down with the questions!" Brendon commanded like a king.
"That's exactly the point, Patrick. I don't believe in God that's why I want to be God myself!" Brendon sits down on a fancy looking chair and he crossed his legs."
That day of Gerard's graduation, that is the day when you stole the key!" Patrick exclaims. "B- but... How?"Brendon chuckles.

"Thank you for that wonderful question!" He mocked."The day when you and Gerard told me about this, I saw this man in red cloak... He is hiding his face behind his hood. I thought at first that I was drunk and he told me that there is a powerful ancient relic and it was this; the devil's key that they called. At first of course I don't believe in it because I don't believe in some supernaturals. But then, he dragged my wrist with his black hands and he brought me in a museum and it is in Melbourne. I can't believe with just a blink of an eye, from Los Angeles he brought me to Melbourne and he convinced me to steal this. When I got it, I instantly returned here in LA. And after the news told that this key was missing, I discovered the potential power of it. Many people tried to kill me but I killed them first and now a lot of people treats me like their emperor! Their God! Now with this key, I will take over this world and I will be the king of the clouds!"
"That will never happen, Brendon!" Patrick clenched his fist "The world doesn't need a selfish King like you!"
"Then you think your generous God will save you?! The God you believed in doesn't gives anyway! He takes! He takes lives!" Brendon said.
"He takes things away from me and you don't even know that! So I will get what I want like I will steal his crown away from him!" Brendon leans closer to Patrick and he held Patrick's chin and the key is dangling around his neck. "Let's see if your faith will save you..." He whispered Patrick looked at Brendon very sharply as he held on the key and he pulled it down which he chocked Brendon
"I won't let you!" Patrick shouted Brendon is losing his breath as he doesn't want to let go of the devil's key. He reached out his left hand and his power handed him a butcher knife. Brendon has no choice as he chopped Patrick's hand.Screams and cries of pain came out of Patrick's mouth as his hand bounced on the ground and his blood fountained and there's something odd in his blood.
"Your blood..." Brendon gasps as he touched the splatter from his cheek but Patrick screams in pain as his screams slowly faded as he became weaker and weaker as he slowly lose his consciousness"Collect his blood. His blood is very young..." Brendon ordered his disciples and they immediately obeyed him.'You think you can stop me, Patrick? Of course not. I really don't want to do this to you but you chose to be here..." Brendon said in his mind.
