Recap:- almost a week after we solved the silent Mansion case , I and Henry were both sitting inside our PDT office and seeing the rain drops fall and were silently thinking at what events have transpired by our investigation's , what losses we had to incur , death of martha and our dear friend father Richard …………………. But our gains were far more Superior !!!, 

             As we sat there engrossed in deep - deep thought , the silence was broken by a call Henry received. Henry was surprised and spoke " "Yes father, How may ……… " and then looked completely pale and said in an agitated voice " Okay …..Okay , I'm coming right away !! " And before I could ask what had happened he took his car keys, ran out of the office and vroomed into the distance !! All these 'happenings' got me thinking as to what must have happened ,that made Henry go COMPLETELY PALE!!!!!!, After about an hour or so Henry returned to HQ and with a dejected and sorrowful told me that his friend had just passed away!, I consoled him but he in an agitated voice spoke " Akshay, this is the 5th death in one month!!!, The priests of the Westwood church are not safe!!!, ………….. ", I told him to calm down and gave him a cup of hot chocolate and asked him what the whole story was , he started " I received a call from father Frank, who informed me first of these strange happening's………….. THAT TO IN GOD'S OWN HOME!!, THE CHURCH!!!, he and other father's together conducted an exorcism and this entity was thought to be subdued but………….. IT CONTINUED KILLING………………PRIESTS!!, It's deranged behavior has already claimed the lives of 4 father's!!!, Now……………………EVEN FRANKS!!!!!!!!! ", I immediately assured him that the next morning me and him would be on the next flight to New York and would all this out !!!, Although I tried to divert his mind and attention to other things that night , I could always see a glimmer of ………..TEAR!!!, In his eyes and the anger was consuming him. I had a disturbed sleep that night and so did he thinking " when all else fails we turn to God!!, Now ………….WHAT ?".
        The next day we were in plane to New York , the hustle and bustle of this city would make anyone feel normal and Happy, but …………not us because within it's homely arms existed a secret that even I and Henry were afraid to unearth!!!!
    We met father Moore who told us what was happening exactly over there, One most shocking incident narrated by him was how father Frank was during MASS , IN FRONT OF HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE!!!, WAS LITERALLY LIFTED IN AIR OFF HIS FEET!!, He said then that this entity was unseen and most powerful AS TO IN FRONT OF GOD !!!, HARM A MAN OF THE LORD!!, THIS WILL THEN QUESTION PEOPLE'S FAITH!, THEIR BELIEF!!, IF THIS GETS OUT IN PUBLIC……..……THE VERY PILLARS ON WHICH CHRISTIANITY WAS BUILT……………….. WILL CRUMBLE LIKE A PACK OF CARDS!!, WE HAVE PREVIOUSLY CARRIED OUT 2 EXORCISM'S AND WITH THE HELP OF THE VATICAN WERE ABLE TO SUBDUE IT ………….……….BUT NOT ………….. DESTROY IT!!, YET AGAIN ITS EVIL HEAD RISES AND WITH THE SOLE MOTIVE………………DESTRUCTION OF MANKIND!! as father said these words My and Henry's blood froze and our hearts came in our mouths as religion is THE ONLY HOPE MAN HAS IN DIRE CIRCUMSTANCES , BY DESTROYING THAT YOU WILL BE……………….. DESTROYING MAN HIMSELF!!!. We assured father that we will do any and everything in ur power to help him and the words he spoke will reside with us only!! and will accompany us till our grave's!! At 3:00 am, We then set up static night vision cams everywhere and placed Mel and EMF meters in all corners and me and Henry conducted EVP session's in every nook and corner of the church ……….but received ……NOTHING!!, I then with a smurk looked at Henry and told him that this entity was very intelligible and was toying with us and CONTINUED provoking it but nothing seemed to work!!, I then did a GEO-MAG READING of the entire church and found no abnormalities, the church had quietnd down ………………….. masking the TRUE DARKNESS THAT HID THERE!!, We tried holding crosses, reciting verses from Bible ……………….ANYTHING THAT WILL AGITATE IT ENOUGH! TO GIVE US A SIGN!!, Henry was getting more and more irritated and started calling it names, I immediately told him to go the PDT HQ and rest there ( To avoid any negative outcomes ) THIS ENTITY WAS NOT MAKING ITSELF KNOWN! 
           The next day I went to the church with a plan!!, I told father Moore that the only way we can coax it enough so that it makes itself known !!………….……….I WOULD ACT AS A FATHER THERE CONDUCTING MASS!!! AND ON THE SLY HENRY AND THE PDT TEAM WOULD BE READY FOR DOCUMENTATION AND EXORCISM!! Father more tried to coax me against it but I was adamant and CONTINUED as per plan we called in 20 paranormal investigators who would act like the people attending the mass and Henry , Steve and Roma were prepped and ready behind the statue of Jesus. I began the mass ……………….. But for a good 40minutes Nothing happened !!, But as I recited " Then as arcangel Michael said " suddenly the floor to move very violently……………………….. the cross off the table flew and hitting the wall broke and I was …….i was……….….LEVITATING IN THIN AIR !!!!, IT WAS ASTHOUGH A HUGE INVISIBLE HAND WAS HOLDING ME UP !!! Then I was thrown and I crashed against the wall…………………….. 
    I opened my eyes and saw……..saw………..complete mayham !!!, I could see demons…………KILLING PEOPLE , PILGRIMS ON THEIR VOYAGE TO JERUSALEM!!, AND THEN AMIDST THE CHAOS AND SCREAMING AN ORB OF LIGHT COME ONTO EARTH AND A MAN WITH CRESCENT WINGS CAME AND SPOKE " IN THE NAME OF THE LORD I BANISH YOU ALL, NEVER SHALL THOU COME BACK!! ", Then a winged demon came towards him and fell down onto earth paralyzed before he could him this Messiah !!, Then I saw my eyes closing and in a dark cloud around me………… I woke up in a hospital bed and by my side was a sleepless Henry with Roma and Steve on the outside !!, As I tried to get up , Henry told me not to aggravate myself and told me to take it easy as I asked Roma to come in, I told her what I had seen in my dream to which Steve came in and said " Akshay , it was just a dream so ……….. ", to which I explained " No Steve, in cases of high demonic hauntings spirits sometimes show man how they passed or some of their most sorrowful incidents! ",  "This entity is something I can't tell you anything about !! ", We would have to consult Eric and ask him " Roma said in a distraught tone , Eric was our demonologist and had to met only in …….dire circumstances!!, This entity we faced here could very well be out of our league !!!!, 
      We then immediately called in Eric at the situation and asked his expert opinion , he said " this is a third degree poltergeist!!, And a VERY STRONG ONE!!, HE HAS TO BE AN…………….'ANGEL' OF SOME KIND, BUT ………… AND EVIL ONE!!,
  " WOAH BRO, TIME OUT!!, AFTER FLYING PEOPLE AND HAUNTINGS!!!, AN EVIL ANGEL!!,…………NOPE !!! HELL NO!! ", Henry freaked out in between , I managed to calm him and Eric continued… " this entity is highly intelligent and tangling with this could cause significant damage to us all , ……….IT IS ONE OF THE HELL HOUNDS RELEASED BY SATAN HIMSELF ON THIS DAINTY EARTH!
      We then ponderd on our choices and we couldn't find out what to do! .  The attacks on the priests grew more and more aggressive!…. We then read the old scriptures and tried to find out as much as possible to banish this entity! "Guys!! Here!" Henry pointed towards a old book and as we looked in it we were shook 'WILL PDT BE UNABLE TO HELP THIS CASE!' I thought! The page read.." the entity Beezelbub is not a human spirit and not your average poltergeist!. He is a master of manipulation! The right hand of the devil himself! and his hauntings CANNOT BE SAVED AND LEAD TO A MOST PAINFUL DEATH! "…. "OH GOD…NO" Henry cried as he read this text! He was filled with hatred against this entity that had killed his friend in cold blood and it pained his heart to realize we can't do anything!. Eric then tried to console him and said" Well, there is got to be a way to banish him…..". "THERE ISNT ANY, DONT YOU GET IT! WE HAVE LOST!!" Henry freaked out and shouted and overturned a metal bowl in front of him!!. The clanking startled us all but also a plan emerged from it!.
     As I saw the bowl whirling around and finally coming to a rest a idea struck my mind! "Guys there is one thing…….."amidst  Everyone's eyes with a look saying" OH let's get us all killed in another genius way". " We can try the field ritual!……The scarecrow can take on any evil!." "I THINK THE KNOWLEDGE OF FAILURE HAS MADE YOU GO CRAZY !YOU WANT TO PERFORM A RITUAL THAT HAS TAKEN….196 PEOPLES LIVES!! AND THE CHANCES OF WINNING ARE 0.1% AND YOU WANNA SUMMON A GODDAMN DEMON IN A CHURCH, AS IF ONE WASN'T ENOUGH" . "Well who said anything about WINNING!"Eric then clapping his hands in a sarcastic way said" Y….O….U… W...HA....T? OHH!! IF DANGER OF DYING ISNT ENOUGH! LETS TRULY GODDAMN KILL OURSELVES EHH? YOU HAVE BEEN BLINDED BY EMOTION THINK STRAIGHT! IF YOU DO THIS. YOU W.I.L.L. DIE, THAT'S IT.. YOU WONT EVER WAKE UP AGAIN!!". I tried to calm Eric down and asked him if he had a better choice! . "As Much as I hate your suicidal plan! It's the only way!."Roma stepped in,. " Don't Support this maniac!" Eric thunderd, "I'll do it!" A vengeful Henry intervened . We all turned towards him and Eric, already hyper said" Absolutely NOT!, I'll do it!"Henry then grabbed him  by the collar and looked at him with inhuman eyes and said" IM NOT ASKING FOR YOUR PERMISSION!". He then left the room and left us pretty shaken up!. "Guys it's the ONLY WAY!" I told as I tried to help ,a  shaken eric. Eric now understood the situation and we knew that we didn't do something! Henry would be possessed by hatred… That would ……end….his life! and reluctantly agreed.
       We then went and found Henry in a dismal state and tried to restrain him from causing harm. We then sat and read through… THE MOST DANGEROUS AND HORRIFIC RITUAL (As always). THE FIELD RITUAL. "The field ritual asks the summoner to open all windows , doors , containers and cabinets!of the summoners home. Then the summoner has to go out in the field and make a scarecrow and in the center of it's chest draw a cross with a infinity symbol with the blood of the summoner. Then he has to run inside his home and challenge the entity! ,Then scarecrow will then be possessed by an inhuman spirit stronger than anything ,A…N…Y…T…..H….I…N….G..! in the world that would try to enter the house where the summoner is by anything that is left open i.e a container, a door, a window, if anyone else is with the summoner the scarecrow will claim his life rather than the summoner's as some sort of sadistic game!!". 
      After that he will try to find you and rip your head clean off!." A shaken Eric said. "What has this got to do with Bezlebub?" an impatient Roma intervened " Well ,The scarecrow has an ego, the size of the Titanic! and hates competition! So as per Akshay's theory the scarecrow would be locked a combat to death with Bezlebub and would knock him out! "Eric said with a look of disbelief and a frown on his face! "Then how would you try to get rid of the scarecrow then, if he is much stronger! Wouldn't he aswell never leave once summoned?" Roma questioned. "Oh This genius can send him back by W…I…N…N….I…N…G, an unwinnable game! By closing each and every door , window or cabinet in 10 minutes!" Said Eric satriacally pointing at me and I with a nervous laugh said "Some game ehh?".
     The next day we decided to put our " genius" plan in action!! , We gave Henry a strong drug that would make him sleep for the next 24 hours and set out on our suicidal quest!. On reaching the church I and Eric proceeded to make the scarecrow where Roma decided to open all things that can be opened in the church! " Oh god! We are surely gonna die!" A dejected Eric said to which I put my hand on his shoulder and said " Maybe, but we won't die without a fight!". 
       We made the scarecrow and I cut my finger and made the symbol on the scarecrow and as I dressed my wound! Eric told me " when you are closing everything keep one container that is very far from you open to allow the scarecrow in and HIDE and stay that way until Bezlebub has been knocked out and banished!!In case you are in trouble just radio me and I'll enter and  distract the scarecrow while you close the last container and end the game!".
      I agreed to it and with little confidence entered the church!.
I think went to the statue of jesus and on my knees asked god foe help and confidence. I could feel a gentle embrace of cold air around my face , which made me feel a little safer.I then openly challenged the entity and called it names in order to incite a reaction! And i got just THAT!………
       The atmosphere took a dark turn!!.. the walls were trembling with the evil that i had just summoned! The candles near Jesus Christ's statue began to go out and i could here a demonic voice which woupd have Shaken any man to his core!! "Paradès mirohiko monguchi wervhi" In hellspeak meaning! (Run…….piggy, HERE I COME!).
    I Then rushed to close all windows and doors and cabinets!!,I closed everything (Or so i thought) Then a flustered and shocked roma radioed me and told "H..E…..'S…….H.E..R….E". "Oh God" I exclaimed and as i ran to the attic to hide " NOT EVEN CLOSE!!,DO BETTER" The dark voice exclaimed and laughed in the most inhuman way possible!!.
     I could then hear loud banging on the doors and altogether the voice stopped! "Crap.. its inside!!" I exclaimed to which i got a response id rather i didnt hear! "You betcha!!"a dark voice spoke behind me and i …..Froze!! I then ran to the attic door and said " G..o..d is my s..hepherd!!………""Haha! Your god is just A KID WITH A ANT FARM!, IM FAR MORE SUPERIOR!" Said the entity with a laugh and came towards me!, I mustered some courage and said" I..DO…NT THINK SO!, Bezlebub is far more greater! , he will destroy you without raising a damn finger!, he is my lord!!" To ignite a fight to which the entity replied in a darker tone" ILL CRUSH HIM LIKE ILL CRUSH YOU!", then he disappered and for the next 50 minutes… I was ………IN MIDDLE OF A SPIRITUAL WAR!!, Items were being thrown around! Demonic wails could be heard and the laughs of the entity suggesting that he was winning were herd!. I then grabbed the only open container and held it tightly!!. After 50 minutes of blood freezing, spine-chilling, demonic war the atmosphere became still and then the air was filled by " Satua Matua Charidhta Hiuteps " meaning"Join Satan in the depths of hell"aproaching footsteps to the attic made me more and more Scared! " Haha! That was bezlebub that could destroy me without without raising a finger!!".  I then looked said "Thankyou for ypur services!! Goodbye " and i closed the last container!. "Aaaaaaaaaa!HAHAHAHAHAH, Did you close all?!, little piggy!"The entity mocked me and my blood froze! I thought i was going to …….DIE! But, i still made a run out of the attic receving a huge scratch on the chest by the entity! The pain in my chest was unbearable!! But i ran to the basement to check what was open as i rembered a bottle at the corner of my eye! and amidst the taunts and laughs! I saw a sight which made my blood go pale!!………..There on the far end corner of the floor lay a …………Open bottle.  With No Cap!!!!!.
    "OH NO! I let out a scream which gave away my location to the entity which came to the basement immediately!. Then A scarecrow figure having hige red eyes and blood covered clothes approached to me and said "PRAY TO YOUR GOD LAST TIME …….YOUR GONNA MEET HIM NOW!!". I stood there frozen lamenting on my fate and as the entity with talon like fingers came towards me ! " PUT YOUR HAND ON THE GODDMAN CONTAINER" I heard henry's voice in the distance!. Without thinking as i leaped forward to the bottle and I almost……almost…had the bottle but the entity caught my leg and pulled me back! " ITS TIME FOR YOUR EXPIRATION!! AHAHAHAHAHAAH!"The entity laughed and just as i thought all was lost…. I saw henry in the distance running and before the entity could rip my head off!! He dived and put his hand over the container at the right time!! ……."NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! " the entity cried and let out a huge scratch on my leg!! And vanished!!. Because of my injuries i passed out………………."! The last thing i saw was henry asking" Akshay are okay!"
       I woke up in the hospital the next day and was greeted by a voice of a happy henry saying" You are a hard Son of a Gun to kill!…..ehh!!" I laughed in agreement with henry and asked him how i landed there! "I woke up because father frank asked me to and told that you were in danger!! I ran out from the apartment fighting the effects of the medicine that you so ……generously gave me and As i reached I saw eric and Roma knocked out!! on the ground and i ran inside  where i heard the demonic laughs!! From the basement! When you were out , I closed the container with my palm before the entity could hit me!…. which sent the entity back temporarily after which i gave it to a somewhat experts in the field!…..Ed and Lorraine Warren were their names and they looked interested in our suicidal tale!!" Henry responded! " Oh!! Were they now!… I wonder why..?" I added
      "Give it a rest now will you sherlock!" said henry in a sarcastic manner! and I much obliged  sunk into the warm bed breathing a sigh of relief and just then……..
      " Get up! Break time is over!!,  We got a work to do!!" Said Eric's voice in the distance as he nursed his head!…………….

                                      THE END
