Welcome back.
Previously on The Prayer Warriors: The Evil Gods Part II, a very good plot happened. What was it? Simply put, the Prayer Warriors having their doubts as they're facing against the demons in Boston. And Jason may get his memory back after all! But will it be a trap, or will it be true?
Let's get right back and see what happens in the exciting conclusion in...
Chapter 13: The Battle for Boston--Part 3
Starting off the story (aside from a small author's note from Ebony) is Dexter asking Thalia where Jason went. The guy's plans are all going to Hell in a handbasket (so to speak), and our hero hasn't returned in thirteen minutes.
Before Dexter decides to find another Prayer Warrior to take Jason's place, Thalia tells the commander that Jason has left for the enemy base, presumably spying. Instead of cheering that the hero is presumably curb-stomping the competition, Dexter is disgusted—and rightfully so. See? Giving the Prayer Warriors actual fears and realistic responses is a good thing! There is no shame in giving them actual losses every once in a while.
Dexter decides to find someone else...but Kelvin is gone. Again. And before he can ponder on what he can do, enter the Prayer Warrior himself! Panting, sweating, swearing, and can barely speak, he reveals the Awful Truth: Jason is kidnapped!
...holy shit.
Dexter yells at Kelvin that he should have protected Jason, but Kelvin reveals that if he did, then he would have been captured as well. And he wouldn't be able to warn the others. So the question remains...how would they be able to save him?
Well, Dexter understands Kelvin's position, and Thalia tries to comfort the poor guy. Kelvin then goes on to say that Jason revealed himself to the enemy, saying that he wanted answers—answers of who he really is. Even to the point where he would have revealed the location of the base! This shocks Dexter and Thalia, the latter not understanding why Jason would do that, the former thinking that he's a traitor.
The story goes on: after Jason reveals everything, all about the Prayer Warriors—all nasty things (then again, some like Jerry fucking deserved it), the demon laughs and reveals that he tricked the guy—he doesn't want to know the location to the base, and he wants Jason all to himself.
And here we get our answer: the demons don't plan to kill Jason, not at all. They're going to spare his life...and they might use him to go to Camp Half-Blood (or Camp Christ's Blood—granted, continuity isn't one of the story's strong points, and it's a small blemish, so I'll let it slide) and kill the Prayer Warriors!
Dexter decides that they must get Jason before he reveals anything else. Thalia is chosen, and the commander decides that they must get him, even if it means killing him. Thalia doesn't want to, for since he was tricked, she can forgive him for that. Also, there's another reason why she wants him alive...but it isn't going to be revealed. Yet. If fucking ever.
They decide to simply save him, and with Kelvin leading them, they head to the enemy base. After staring at the area for ten minutes in order to plan where they will go, Dexter commands Kelvin and Thalia to go. He'll stay to make sure if they need any more back-up.
Good luck, man.
Kelvin and Thalia manage to sneak into the base—going so damn fast that the guards do not see them. Quite clever. However! Alas! They reach a crack, and Thalia is the only one of the two to go through. Eventually, she reaches to a prison cell.
Once she finds Jason, he tells her to leave, but she sure as hell isn't going to leave. She isn't going to head out without Jason, even if it means dragging his fucking ass out. And yes, a woman is making decisions without having the man tell them what to do.
Surprised? Don't be.
Jason wonders if she's willing to do it after everything he did, and she says "yes"...followed by her forgiving him. Why? He's like a brother to her...she can't forgive herself if something bad happened to him.
...damn. So good, so heartwarming. And that made me tear up a little.
Jason asks to be let out, and Thalia does, picking on the lock and freeing him. They leave (presumably with Kelvin as well)...only to find that outside? Battle ensued, and they just caught the end.
Oh, and it gets worse. There's a body in the battlefield. Who is it? Dexter! Thalia runs to him, Jason not far behind...preparing himself to defend his friends.
Dexter asks for them to protect his son, for he needs a good life—anything better than this. Thalia promises that he'll have the best childhood he ever wanted.
...and then...
- Dexter: "Tell him that I love him."
After saying those words, Dexter dies.
...excuse me for a minute. I have...(sniff)...something in my eye...(leaves for a while as she cries)
(Hours later...)
...okay. I'm better now. Thalia starts to mourn, but Jason warns her that the enemy might see them. So they head back to the base, where it's decided that Dexter's son will go with Draco, who has planned to go back to England. Why? There are reports of activity within the ruins of Hogwarts, and Draco wants to make sure that some of the foes didn't revive the old school.
After that, the chapter—and the trilogy—ends with Jason and Thalia returning to where Ebony is staying, and they leave Boston for their journey.
Also, the Author's Note has Ebony stating that she has had writer's block for The Prayer Ponies, ultimately deciding not to continue. (Good decision.) And she may write one more chapter in this tale, who knows? Oh, and like the rest of the stories, this one will have 20 chapters, and she might write a Pokemon or Digimon fanfic without any religious themes.
Good luck, Ebony. You'll need it. :)
And she admits that she made a mistake—Piper was the one who had a father who acted, not Thalia. At least she caught it.
Which is more than I can say about...damn it, did he have to return?
But first. A thought. This was actually better than any other chapter I've read thus far in the entire series. I'm dead-serious—I can't give out enough praises for how realistic the characters are here. And there were a few plots that were noticed!
However, this is not without some flaws...just some plot holes. Like...what did happen in Boston? Did the demons take it over, or did the Prayer Warriors lose? It implies here that the battle is far from over, which is a damn shame...if The Prayer Warriors: The Evil Gods Part II had been about battling in Boston, and if it was written by Ebony, it would have made for a decent story. And no, I haven't forgotten about what happened to Kelvin, but I can think that he arrived with Jason and Thalia safe and sound.
Overall, despite the flaws, this...is damn good. Easily the best, as I mentioned.
Too bad that one asshole decides to ruin this excellent story with his shittastic Author Filibuster. You know who I'm talking about.
And with the return of Thomas Brown, Asshole Extraordinare, so do his self-praising, ego-blown Author's Notes.
- Thomas Browm: I am back. Ebony stuff was good but this will be so insuring that people will fork to go read this grate strong.Jesus Christ: Yes, I am glad that you have returned. You will truly bring back this story into shape.Thomas Brown: Yes, and I must achieve the greatest reward by bringing this story back into a readable form that is honorable to our lord Jesus Christ and his eternal father up in Heaven.Jesus Christ: You are wise.Thomas Brown: I know I am. Thanks and amen.
...so let me get this straight. You're saying that Ebony's trilogy was good...but not up to your standards. And I knew that you'd turn the story into a fucking Author Filibuster again. And seriously? Turning it back "into a readable form that is honorable" to Jesus and God?
...
That's just flat-out disrespectful. I...I can't even rage properly. This series, when written by Thomas...destroys me. It's destroying my soul as we speak.
I need to continue...no matter what. And after 20 chapters, I'll be free from this series for good. There has to be a way out. No one will force me to do more of this series after this installment.
But I will say this. To say that your own cousin's works suck ass...for fuck's sake, Thomas, why do you say that? Is it because it actually toned down the religious themes? Is it because it actually had a decent plot?
Is it because she's a fucking woman, therefore inferior by default according to your stupid ass?
No. Don't answer that.
...oh, my God, this is destroying me. I need help.
Catherine: Rika...we're right here.
Matoi: We've been waiting here.
Mako: Yeah! You need any help from us?
FUCK NO!
(everyone's taken aback...okay, only Carter's taken aback. Catherine stares at me with a Dull Surprise look, Matoi blinks, and Mako frowns)
Sorry. However, I don't want any of you guys in the line of Thomas' fire. I honestly...don't.
Anyway. Edward...okay, you know what? Fuck it, I'll just use Jacob since it's mildly more accurate. Jacob, Piper, The Man Formerly Known as Jerry (yes...he's now Jeremy now, apparentally), and Grover arrive in a hotel in Chicago. As they fall asleep, Jeremy is curious to see what's in the package...and this is why he's awake.
If it's Pandora's Box, your fuck-up.
...and Piper sees Jeremy. She suggests to him that he must take Melatonin...in, I wish I was making it up, as much "wisdom" she can make it for it's men that's far more intellingent.
God, he makes me sick.
Oh, and it gets worse. That's not the reason why he's awake, apparentally. He had to tackle recent issues—SOPA and PIPA. Telling Piper that they're good laws, and Wikipedia, As You Know, is blacking out in protest over the laws.
(And so were other sites.)
And we get this from Piper. Note what's wrong with this fucking piece of dialogue.
- Piper: "I do agree with you, these laws are needed to protect the world from piracy. Steeling things against God's holy laws and for groups such as Goggle and Wikipedia means that they are sinning against our Christian heritage. THESE BILLS MUST GO THROUGH!"
Oh, and Jeremy agrees with Piper...and, dear God. Granted, he doesn't support Wikipedia because it's biased (more not-really-truthful than anything), and...he prefers Conservapedia. A conservative site.
...hey, Thomas. You do realize that SOPA and PIPA will break the Internet, right? Granted, SOPA is said to have died, but PIPA is growing. And that could mean, if that passes...not only will we get no websites, but that would also mean that your precious little Conservapedia will go bye-bye.
So do you really want to press your luck?
(By the way, SOPA/PIPA sucks ass, and contact Congress to tell them to not let the laws pass.)
Ebony...who somehow went back to Jeremy's gang (wasn't she supposed to be with Jason and Thalia?), asks the leader if he's ready. Of course he is, so cut to the court case. From there, an Atheist goes on and on about how Christianity should be banned and everyone should worship Evolution, something that the Atheists like.
...
Evolution is not a damn religion. It's a theory. And I am not going to analyze the "debate", as its only purpose is to show how Thomas hates the Theory of Evolution.
To the surprise of not a fucking soul, no one is impressed, and Jeremy walks over. He opens up the package...and are you ready for the reveal? Inside the package is...a Holy Bible. The true words of God.
...what. That's not a fucking secret at all! That's like if I had a secret gift of my own, and it turned out to be a life-sized figurine of Carter!
Carter: ...seriously?
...b-but not you, of course!
Catherine: Somehow, I do not even want to know.
Sorry. Anyway, after revealing the Bible, Jeremy goes on to say that as God as his witness (literally), Evolution is false and sinful, and it will be banned. Anyone who teaches it will be punished by death.
...I got nothing.
Also, you know who will be punished by death? Anyone who pirates anything and homosexuals. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to throw up.
(a good five minutes later...)
Okay. Now I'm better. The chapter ends with everyone, amazed by Jeremy's words and the Holy Bible (of course!), deciding that Evolution will indeed be illegal to teach, and anyone who teaches it will be put to death.
- Thomas: That was truly.Jesus: I agree with tow.Thomas: Now I mush go.
But hey, on the bright side? This story isn't pimping out the next installment like all other chapters! Maybe the series is almost done? Hopefully?
Also, as a sidenote. After Ebony wrote her trilogy, guess who made a comment. To the surprise of anyone reading it, it's Noah. And here's what he had to say.
- Noah: "Hey Tom its your gay bro here. Plz do us a favor and STFU."Hey Eb plz do us a biga favor and change Tom`s p/w or something and lock the F`u`c`k`ing kunt out. That`s `bout all. Bye."
You know what? After reading those chapters back-to-back, a part of me wishes that Ebony would just get tired of Thomas' shit—especially since he did not take any of the advice to heart—and just lock him out permanently. So he won't have to write such horrible things anymore.
Regardless, wow, just wow. It started off decent, then it turned to shit. When Ebony showed up, it was getting good again, but with Thomas...GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
...six chapters left. Six fucking chapters left. And then! Only then! Will I be done!
Will the group manage to save Percy Jackson? How many plots will the story drop once more? And will I regain my sanity to finish it?
Awaken that soul on the next liveblog of The Prayer Warriors: The Evil Gods Part II!
