FATHER

Father Gabriel informs Father Samuel that he had always suspected his mischievous nature due to his rapid ascent through the ranks. Samuel expresses confusion, denying any knowledge of what he is referring to. Gabriel then inquires about the purpose of the purple jars, leaving Samuel at a loss for words. Frustrated, Samuel defiantly declares that he doesn't have to divulge the information. Gabriel sets aside the box containing the purple jars and explains that they are not ordinary, as he can sense human emotions emanating from them. He specifically mentions the presence of fear. In response, Samuel's hands begin to glow with an intense light, causing multiple portals to open around Gabriel. Gabriel remarks on the disappointment of witnessing someone as gifted as Samuel succumb to evil. Samuel shouts that he is gathering the souls his wife has accumulated over the years, resulting in numerous malevolent spirits emerging from the portals. Gabriel takes out his bible and recites verses, creating a protective barrier of light that shields him from the evil spirits. Gabriel then comprehends that Samuel's wife handled all the dirty work while Samuel portrayed himself as the virtuous one. The evil spirits are unable to harm Gabriel, and some of them dissipate in the presence of the light. Desperate, Samuel opens a portal within his own chest, allowing the evil spirits to possess him. He struggles as multiple spirits vie for control over his body. Meanwhile, Gabriel initiates prayer while Samuel charges at him with incredible speed, breaching the barrier. Gabriel swiftly throws holy water, which splashes onto Samuel's face, causing him pain. With a quick elbow strike to Samuel's face, a kick to his back, and a forceful slam of Samuel's face into the ground, Gabriel continues to pray. He then retrieves a beautiful cross and places it on Samuel's forehead, prompting the release of many evil spirits from his body. Gabriel concludes his prayer, and all the spirits leave Samuel's body.

Samuel gazes at the cross in shock, recognizing it as the legendary Macrosser (Cross). Gabriel reassures Samuel that it is not too late for redemption and inquires about whom he is working for. Overwhelmed with emotion, Samuel tearfully admits that he will soon be reuniting with his family. Suddenly, a colossal ghost wielding a scythe storms into the church. Gabriel manages to evade the attack, but the scythe impales Samuel, propelling his body across the ceiling before it explodes. Gabriel finds himself drenched in a rain of blood. Turning towards the entrance of the church, he notices three clothed cloaked individuals standing there. One of the individuals greets Father Gabriel, expressing pleasure in meeting him and introducing himself as Razor. Gabriel recognizes Razor as the former Shaman master. Razor smiles, acknowledging his past as a Shaman master and claiming to have been bestowed with a greater purpose. Another individual seizes the box of purple jars, while Razor explains that he had foreseen the fate of the wicked witch family and came prepared. He introduces the two individuals accompanying him as his students, showcasing their impressive strength.

One of them unveils his muscular physique, demonstrating strength surpassing that of Samuel's sons. The muscular man readies a powerful punch, his muscles tensing with intensity. Gabriel defends himself, creating a protective light barrier. Despite the barrier, Gabriel is struck by the force of the punch, propelling him into a church wall and causing him to cough up blood, surprised by the strength displayed. The muscular man charges again, shattering the barrier with his colossal fist, only to have his arm swiftly severed in a blur of speed. Gabriel retaliates with a headbutt and a kick, sending the buff man tumbling away. Razor is astonished to witness Gabriel wielding the legendary Macrosser. Gabriel tosses his bible upward, and as its pages multiply magically, they flutter throughout the entire church. Razor is greatly impressed by Gabriel's skills. The pages continue to hover, giving rise to magical statues that emanate a brilliant light from their eyes, enveloping the entire church. The intense light reduces the muscular man to ashes. The other individual casts a spell, summoning a giant ghost with a scythe to block them. Razor also casts a spell, cloaking the giant ghost in darkness to protect it from the light. The giant ghost swings its weapon, obliterating the statues and causing the light within the church to fade. The giant ghost launches an attack on Gabriel with its scythe. Gabriel concentrates, and the Macrosser in his hand radiates a glowing light, transforming into a sword. Gabriel blocks the attack and cleaves the giant ghost in half. Gabriel recites a prayer, and a luminous cross descends from the roof, impaling the other individual, who drops the box of jars and perishes.

The jars shatter, releasing a surge of purple magic. Razor panics and hastily casts a spell. The severed halves of the giant ghost reconnect with dark strings. The giant ghost slams its scythe into the ground, unleashing a flow of dark magical energy beneath Gabriel's feet. Gabriel defends himself with the Macrosser, struggling against the dark energy's grip. Razor declares his intention to claim the Macrosser for himself. Gabriel breaks free from the dark energy, heavily wounded and bleeding. Initiating another prayer, Gabriel summons more crosses of light into the church. Razor evades him, concealed within the darkness. Gabriel swiftly slices the giant ghost into numerous pieces until it fades away. Razor brandishes a blade of darkness, engaging in an intense clash of swords with Gabriel. Both demonstrate skillful swordplay while evading each other's attacks, resulting in their slashes tearing through the surroundings. Eventually, the ceiling collapses and the church walls crumble as they continue their relentless assault. They sever each other's arms holding their weapons, causing both combatants to recoil as blood splatters through the air. In an act of desperation, they cast opposing spells, triggering an explosion that propels them apart. Gabriel crashes into the rubble of the church, while Razor collides with a nearby car. Multiple police cars arrive at the scene. In pain, Razor manages to escape, while the police and ambulance discover Gabriel barely alive in a pool of his own blood. During his escape, Razor notices Fright impaled on a tree branch and pleads for Razor's assistance. Razor saves him, and they escape together.

In the following days, Jayden awakens in a hospital bed to find himself beside a female monk who is giving him a soothing massage. His body is covered in bandages, which the monk begins to remove after completing the massage. Jayden is astonished to see that his wounds have nearly healed, prompting him to inquire about the monk's methods. Introducing herself as Emma, the monk explains that her massages possess the unique ability to expedite the healing process. Jayden then asks about the whereabouts of his friends. Emma informs him that they, too, are in the hospital and have received her massages. She mentions that Wiz and Father Gabriel have been the primary recipients of her treatments. Jayden specifically inquires about Lucas, to which Emma shakes her head, indicating that Lucas has not been found. This news causes Jayden to feel a mix of stress and confusion, wondering why Father Gabriel is hospitalized. In that moment, Holly and James enter the room and embrace Jayden, relieved to see him alive. Holly informs Jayden that he has been unconscious for three days. James adds that Wiz is still unresponsive, while Mako and Grace are awake but experiencing limited mobility. Soon after, Holly assists in pushing Jayden's wheelchair as they enter Grace's room. Grace expresses her joy at seeing everyone and reveals that she felt a spiritual connection with them during their battle against REVA. Holly and James share similar sentiments. Jayden remains silent, prompting Grace to inquire if REVA is truly gone. Jayden responds by expressing his unease and the belief that REVA possesses more secrets and is far better prepared than they had anticipated. He conveys his feelings that REVA may still be at large.

Grace attempts to calm Jayden, assuring him that their search for REVA is over and they can now find solace. However, Jayden insists on finding Lucas, explaining how vital Lucas was in their recent battle, as without him, they would have faced death or made REVA's plans easier to execute. James affirms that despite the short time they spent together, Lucas demonstrated great determination in protecting everyone. Holly and James continue pushing the wheelchairs carrying Grace and Jayden, leading them into Mako's room where Sasha is by his side. Sasha greets them, and they notice Mako using a laptop. Mako explains that they have been disconnected from the internet for too long, so he posted a small teaser for their fans. Grace scolds Mako, cautioning him against sharing anything online. However, Mako insists that they trust him and turns the laptop to reveal a 45-second video. The video showcases their past experiences, transitioning from an underground tunnel to a chamber filled with REVA cult members. It then shows Mako, Grace, and James standing against a powerful gust, followed by Holly dropping a burning cross. The scene changes to their encounter with the cult members in the forest and ends with the shadow of a tree creature rushing toward them. Grace and Jayden are relieved that the teaser video did not reveal too many details. Holly excitedly informs them that the teaser has already reached 1.4 million views, embracing James in joy. Mako smiles and explains that he has informed the fans that the release date of the full video will be announced later.

Grace suggests allowing some time for things to settle down and planning extensive editing. Jayden, however, disagrees, stating that they should not omit anything and that the world needs to be educated about the darker side of reality they have encountered. Shortly after, Jayden propels himself in a wheelchair into Father Gabriel's room, only to find Gabriel missing his right arm. Gabriel warmly smiles at Jayden and invites him in. He proceeds to recount the events at the church, leaving Jayden in a state of shock. Gabriel then presents Jayden with the Macrosser, surprising him and prompting him to question why he deserves such a legendary item. Gabriel explains that the time has come for him to pass on the Macrosser to a younger and brighter successor. He reassures Jayden that he has heard of everything that has transpired and expresses his pride in him. Jayden admits to feeling that things are progressing too rapidly, as he has recently become a saint and now finds himself promoted once again. Father Gabriel, however, affirms that Jayden is not just being promoted but is now bestowed with the title of Father Jayden. Overwhelmed with joy, tears begin to stream down Jayden's face. After a brief celebration, Jayden confides in Gabriel that their encounter with REVA is far from over and reveals that REVA's true name is Prisma. Gabriel's eyes widen in astonishment upon hearing the name Prisma.
