He never felt this way before. Being loved. But he still grieves for the lost of his friend and the betrayal of his another friend. Mixed emotions is what Gerard feels at this moment. Sadness, love and anger.

He still can't move on from Patrick's death, wishing that if only he is still alive, probably he's happy for him and Helena. Anger, because he never thought that his best friend, Brendon can do such wicked things like that and could kill anyone who gets in his way to become a God. Gerard thought he could still change Brendon's wicked heart but greed of power swallows him over.
And love. Love is what he feel for the woman he never knew it was an angel that decends from the sky. Helena, a cherubim. God sent her to protect him. Gerard must protect her as well from Brendon's evil plans.

"A cherubim?! How is that possible that a cherubim decends from the sky to protect Gerard! And first of all, God doesn't exist anyway!" Brendon rants, walking in circles while holding his golden goblet of champagne
"Patience, Brendon!" The blurry faced man said "you need to calm down."
"I am calm!!!" Brendon shouts, contrasting to what he said and he throws his goblet away, spilling the champagne all over the floor.
"I want to kill him and his fucking angel!" He said as he went on his room. "Let's have a chicken barbecue wings..." He grins devilishly.

Tyler is sleeping on Gerard's office couch and Josh is looking after him. In his sleep, another premonition is seen in his dreams. The black markings on his skin is getting darker and darker. He whines which made Josh shakes him to wake him up.
"Tyler? Tyler! Wake up!" Josh calls out and Tyler wakes up.
"I need to see Gerard! I saw someone's death in my dream!" Tyler said as he stood up and looked for Gerard.
"Tyler! Wait!" Josh follows him.

Gerard is sitting on the cathedral pew holding a rosary and then the cathedral doors suddenly opened by a howling wind and the candle lights are blown away. Josh stopped Tyler and they hide behind a column.

Gerard stood up and then black mists swirls around and Gerard gets his gun.
Two disciples held Gerard and they used their power to lose Gerard's consciousness. They held Gerard and then they took him somewhere.
"G- Gerard!" Tyler gasps and he was about to follow him but Josh stopped him.
"Tyler, don't tell me you're going to follow them?!" Josh said.
"I have to! I cannot take another death again!" Tyler said.
"But we don't even know where they taken him!" Josh said.
"I don't care! I have to find him!"

"Wake up sleeping beauty~" an echoing voice said as Gerard starting to wake up then he got slapped on his face. "I said wake up!"
Gerard opened his eyes and it was Brendon right in front of him. "Good morning, daddy." He mocked with a smirk.
Gerard looked at him as he smirks back. "I knew it was you who will do this to me." Gerard said. "Being so dependent on the devil's key and forgotten how to fight fairly."
"Don't blame me because you were weak, Gerard." Brendon rolled his eyes while holding a long masamune sword. Gerard looked at the sword and he scoffed
"Are you going to kill me with that sword?" He asks sarcastically.
"No, I won't kill you with this," Brendon answered as he pulled his sword out. "I will kill someone else and it will kill you the most..." Brendon smirks as he commanded his disciples and Gerard gasps
"H- Helena...?" Gerard gasps

Helena was tied up, kneeling on the floor, being held by Brendon's disciples. Her eyes are covered with a red blindfold. "Ge- Gerard..?" she weakly calls.
"Helena!" Gerard was about to go to her but Brendon points his sword to Gerard
"Hold up! Don't go near to your beloved angel~" Brendon said. "Hold on, priests like you are not supposed to have a girlfriend, right?" He added while raising his eyebrow "Heh, already breaking the rules?"
"Let her go, Brendon! She is out of here!" Gerard said
"Why would I do that?" Brendon smirks "Maybe I'll do it... or am I?" he chuckled.
"Stop messing around!" Gerard exclaimed.
"Geez, you're such a killjoy." Brendon whines and then he sighs. "Well okay, let's do something fun. Let's play sudden death." Brendon said while touching the tip of his blade "I'll make you choose; Worship me, or you will see the death of your angel right before your eyes."
Gerard gasps "Is that how cruel you are, Brendon? You really have to kill someone just for power?" 
"Hey, hey, I'm the game master here, so I'm the one who can ask question!" Brendon said.
"Gerard, don't worship that false God!" Helena shouted while tears are falling down on her cheeks.
"Shut up!" One of Brendon's disciples said as she pulled her hair.

Gerard was in a tough choice right now and all he did is he knelt down and cried, asking for help from the heavens above, asking for salvation.
"Praying to your God right now, Gerard? Do you really think he can save you right now?" Brendon impatiently said "where is your 'I have the power of God' attitude with you?" he mocked and then suddenly someone tried to attack Brendon out of nowhere  but Brendon evaded "What the--?"

"Tyler?! What on heavens are you doing here?!" Gerard said
"I'm trying to save you! I saw death in my premonition a while ago!" Tyler defended as the markings on his skin and his eye color are changing like glitches as he distracted Brendon by attempting to get the sword away from him "Save Helena!" Tyler said 
"You motherfucker!" Brendon cussed as Gerard tried to save Helena but Brendon's disciples blocked him as Brendon pushed Tyler away and then he rages and used the power of the devil's key as he moves his sword that was flamed with hellfire and blood splatters around and all over him, Tyler and Gerard.

Tyler gasps in complete shock but Gerard screamed in grief. "No..." Gerard's voice shakes.
A head rolled around on the floor, covered in blood, detached from the head. Gruesome, horrifying if someone can see it. 
The detached head covered with blood was rolled on Brendon's feet as Brendon grabbed the head's hair and he sighed "well.. that went down like a lead balloon..." he shrugged like nothing happened.
"You monster!" Gerard screamed in pain, anger and grief "You killed... You killed Helena just like that and you acted like it's normal to you?! You fucking monster! I will kill you! I WILL KILL YOU!"
"Hey. You know, you're being overdramatic." Brendon rolled his eyes with a smirk. "Maybe your prayer for salvation was a flop. Don't you see? Don't you get it? Your fucking God don't exist! He didn't save her!" he said while holding out the dead head of Helena. "If he exist, he miraculously shows up and maybe he hit me with his cross or something or throw a bread out of me and turn it into a boulder!" he said as he called his disciples to dispose the body. "My point is, if you just worship me as your God, your king, your emperor, this wouldn't happen. No one will die! It's simple! Now, let me ask you Gerard..." Brendon lifts up Gerard's chin

"Does faith really saves us?"

Then everything in Gerard's sight faded to black and so does to Tyler.
