Chapter / Episode List of the Heathville Serial

Mayor Hollis Bare flew his spaceship into a safe area and stopped. The spaceship hovered. He looked at Billy laying in a bed that Mayor Hollis had prepared for the unconscious Billy. Mayor Hollis called his son Daniel.

“Son, we have a problem.”

“Did you all fail to restore Whitehead and Baretown?”

“The Virgin Mary and Billy did a miracle there. It was amazing to see. But Billy revealed too much and Hera and Zeus did not respond well. They decided Billy could be as dangerous to them as he was to Belial and Satan.”

Daniel stared over at Natalina and her sister, Billy’s mother, Maureen. They were sitting quietly watching Television with Nat, Jimmy, and Tommy. Billy’s sister Bess was curled up under a lamp and reading a book. Daniel saw Tommy watching him and he eased into another room with the phone.

“What did Hera and Zeus do?”

“They locked Billy’s powers. They worked amnesia spells which Billy fought. Billy is now unconscious. He may be falling into the sleep just like Amelia. If that happens his physical body will die.” Mayor Hollis choked on his words. “Billy will be dead and his soul will be in the sleep.”

“There is no hope for us. Is there? Victor caged. Iapetus caged. And now Billy may fall into the sleep.”

“Thanks to Billy, Sabian Blackrock, was forced to free a lot of those who were caged in the Outlands. Victor and Iaptus are probably free. Belial and Satan have fled back to hell. Billy performed a miracle. Well, he and the Virgin Mary performed a miracle. Still, like I said, when Billy revealed how powerful he is, that scared Hera and then Zeus.”

Daniel said, “We’ve got to get Iapetus and Victor to Billy. Maybe they can stop Billy from falling into the sleep.”

There was knocking on the door at the Bare Mansion. Nat ran and opened the door and he saw a woman standing at the door. He saw that she was crying. Billy’s father, Frank Bingo, was standing behind the woman at the door.

Maureen walked to the door. “Frank. What are you doing here. I thought you were still in Texas.”

David Jenkins, Frank’s boss, walked up. “I don’t really know how we got here. We were on a boat in the gulf, on our way to a rig, and then suddenly we were pulling up to a dock in Lake Hearthville.”

David and Frank walked, through the ghostly apparition of the crying woman, into the mansion. Maureen hugged her husband. Nat watched the ghostly woman vanish. He looked around and figured that he was the only one who had seen her. But Tommy Harris had also seen her.

David said, “You know, I am not ignorant of the witch stuff. My wife, Amberline Darko, was a witch.”

Maureen said, “I didn’t know.”

Bess had put her book down and ran up to give her father a hug. “Dad, it is so good to see you.”

Nat turned to them. He saw them all smiling. He screamed, “Don’t you people realize something went wrong! Billy must have failed to help the Virgin Mary. He and Hollis must dead.”

Daniel spoke into the phone. “Something is going on. If I heard right some witch brought David Jenkins and Frank Bingo here. Nat has realized something is wrong. Nat thinks you and Billy are dead. What should I tell them?”

“Nothing. I am going to land the spaceship at one of my properties and then I am going to switch over to a helicopter. I will bring Billy home on the helicopter. I will call you shortly before I get ready to land.”

“Dad, is Billy dead?”

“I don’t know if his physical body has died. I just don’t know.”

Mayor Hollis and Daniel ended the call. Daniel turned and saw Tommy standing at his side. Tommy grabbed Daniel into his arms. In a nervous, tearful, voice Tommy asked, “What did he say?”

Daniel whispered. “He doesn’t know. But it is bad. Don’t tell the others yet.”

“There was ghostly woman at the door when Nat opened the door. She was crying.”

“Were you shocked when you saw the ghost?”

“No. Earlier, I wasn’t shocked when I saw the spaceship either. I know Billy is not an ordinary human.”

Tommy stepped away from hugging Daniel as Natalina walked up. Natalina asked, “What is going on?” She touched the tears on Tommy’s face. “Is your father and Billy?” Natalina struggled to maintain her composure. “Are they dead?”

“Dad’s alive. Billy and the Virgin Mary saved Whitehead and Baretown. He forced Sabian Blackrock to open the cages in the Outlands so that Victor and Iapetus would be freed.”

“Well. That is a all good. So…”

“When Hera and Zeus realized the amount of power Billy has, they reacted badly. They locked his powers and tried to screw with his memories. He fought to keep his memories. There is a danger he will fall into the sleep just like Amelia. If he does, his physical body will die. He will be dead.”

Nat rushed to his mom as she fell to her knees. He hugged on her. Nat looked up at Daniel. He whispered, “Billy’s dead?”

Tommy put his hand on Nat’s head. “There is no such thing as death. Even someday, Amelia, will wake.”

Daniel asked, “You know about Amelia?”

“I have dreams where people at the Great Pyramid tell me about her. They say she is the greatest of all the Gods.” Tommy whispered, “I don’t guess Billy will ever take me to the pyramids again.”

Nat repeated Tommy’s words, “There is no such thing as death. Even someday, Amelia, will wake.” Then Nat added, “Of course Billy will take you to the pyramids again.”

“Sometimes it is hard to believe, even when you want to believe, and know that you must believe.”

Nat nodded. “I know.”

Chapter / Episode List of the Heathville Serial

A vision of Jesus being led up the steps, with the heavy cross on his back, appeared in the sky above the destroyed town of Whitehead and Baretown. The souls in the cages looked up toward the sky and saw Jesus with that cross on his back and the God Cage that surrounded him. They saw Satan riding on top of the cage and smoking a cigar.

The enemy soldiers saw the vision as well and saw the soul of Satan who gives orders to Belial, to Sabian Blackrock, and to them. One of the soldiers whispered, “What is this?”

It was a whisper but Billy Bingo caused the whisper to echo loud and clear. And Billy answered, “Satan could not beat Jesus that day and he will not beat Jesus this day. Understand your fate if you do not find the way of the Gods.”

Sabian Blackrock looked around. He screamed, “Where are you Billy Bingo. I have a cage all ready for you?”

Lucifer joined Leroy on the ground and began helping to unlock the cages in a very swift speed. The souls began to emerge from the cages as crosses began to come up out of the ground. The crosses were huge and rose higher and higher.

An image of Zeus appeared in the sky. He said, “Now freed souls, take the soldiers. Show them the way of the cross.”

The soldiers did not stand their ground as the souls came at them. They began to run this way and that way. Spaceships began trying to escape Whitehead and Baretown but there was no escape. The engines sputtered and the spaceships that had gained altitude began to crash.

Hera whispered to the real Zeus. “How much of this are you doing?”

“None.”

“Me either.”

Jesus whispered, “Most of this is Billy Bingo.”

Hera whispered, “He is more powerful than I thought.”

Down on the ground, the souls took a young soldier. He was a pretty boy with blond hair and blue eyes. And they stripped him down to where he had no armor and they changed the key codes to his weapons. Bare naked, he screamed in horror as he was lifted into the air. He screamed, “Don’t nail me to the cross. I know where Victor and Iapetus are caged. I can help you free them.”

Sabian Blackrock screamed, “Shut up! Shut up!”

Sabian Blackrock tried his magic but his magic pinged. There was no spell he could encant this day.

Hera whispered, “Billy is able to cause the magic of Sabian Blackrock to ping. He a threat to more than just Sabian, Belial, and Satan.”

And the souls lifted the young, blond, blue eyed, naked soldier into the air. And he saw around him the flames and the smoke vanish. Vanish! And he saw buildings that had been destroyed begin to rebuild themselves. Today was a day of miracles in Whitehead and Baretown.

The Virgin Mary appeared in the sky and in the apparition she caused Satan to run. She touched the cage around Jesus and it vanished. But still Jesus was marched toward his crucifixion.

And Jesus screamed, “Fear me you evil ones for I will be more powerful in death than I have been in life. The greater my pain, the greater my anger, the greater my wrath. I am not dying for your sins. I am dying for my revenge.”

Jesus whispered, “He changed the words from what people believe I said.”

Zeus said, “To what you actually said. You were rightfully pissed.”

And the once bright sun became dark. And the clouds were hideous like a monster getting ready to strike. In the vision men trembled in fear and in Whitehead and Baretown the soldiers trembled in fear for they knew that Jesus was near. And in the vision Lucifer appeared out of the crowd and he went to Jesus and he helped Jesus to carry the cross.

“He showed Lucifer helping me. I don’t like this.”

Then Lucifer stepped from the vision and he joined the real Lucifer down on the ground. And Lucifer went to Sabian Blackrock and he punched him with his fist. He kicked him in the balls. And he put him on the cross. And he screamed, “The realm of Hades belongs to my father and to me. This purgatory is ours. And if you ever betray us again I will send you into the fires of hell. Do you understand?”

Sabian did not know what to say. Who was more powerful? Hades or Satan? And then Sabian saw the Gods united behind Billy Bingo as they marched from the sky to the ground. The soldier began falling to their knees in prayer as if they knew the answer even if Sabian did not.

Hera whispered, “Billy Bingo is controlling us. He is marching us.”

Sabian said, “Give me my powers where they will not ping and I will open the cages. I will free Victor, Caelous, Iapetous, and the others. I can’t fight you. And I can not fight Satan. Only with Victor free do I stand a chance if I side with you.”

Billy Bingo said, “I will give you your powers but if you betray me I will send you nailed to this cross into the fires of hell where you will be caged in the fires for eternity.”

Hera whispered, “We’ve got a problem. He could do that to all of us.”

The souls lowered Sabian to the ground. And he fell to his knees. He kissed the hands of the Gods and he begged forgiveness. He then freed the souls that had been caged in the Outlands. He freed Victor and Caelous and Iapetus and many others.

When Satan and Belial realized that Victor was free, they very quickly left planet earth. And everyone praised the Virgin Mary, for without her, this day would not have happened. And the Virgin Mary praised Billy Bingo. But Hera, Zeus and Jesus/Hercules were scared of the power that Billy Bingo revealed this day.

Chapter / Episode List of the Heathville Serial

The Virgin Mary and Hera flew their spaceship into Quad 8 which was a hidden sky fortress. From there they could view Whitehead and Baretown. The horrible destruction they witnessed through their monitors down below was heartbreaking: the destroyed buildings, the fires that continued to rage, the black billowing smoke, and hearing the caged souls screaming in agony. Though on some level they already knew, still, to witness the misery of the souls who had been caged was enough to make even the Virgin Mary swear like a sailor.

Almost even more troubling than the suffering they saw below, they also saw the enemy army that they faced. They knew the battle before them would be a hard and painful fight. Still, the Virgin Mary and Hera began dressing in their fighting gear. They coded their weapon locker for easy and quick access.

Billy Bingo and Mayor Hollis Bare flew their spaceship up next to the V-Ship. They interlocked the ships and boarded the V-Ship.

Billy smiled. “I thought my favorite bitches might need some help.”

Hera grinned. VM rolled her eyes but then nodded. VM said, “It is going to be a fight and our victory is not certain. This may be the end of me.”

Billy said, “Ah, it is going to be a breeze. You don’t have anything to worry about.” Billy added with a teasing laugh, “Nothing to worry about but that hippy son of yours.”

Hera laughed. “I love you to pieces but you are the worst liar in the world. We have everything to worry about.”

Mayor Hollis Bare said, “We need Victor. We need Iapetus.”

Billy transformed himself into an adult. In the transformation he became a very muscular adult man. And he put on his war gear. He coded his weapon locker for quick access. Billy said, “As we defeat them we have to bring them to our side. We don’t need to destroy the army down below. We need this army down below to be on our side.”

VM said, “You seriously think you can convert them.”

Though dressed in armor and ready for war, Billy said, “We’ve got to stay hidden right now but at the same we have got to start creating visions in the sky.”

Jesus and Zeus flew their spaceship on top on the V-Ship. They interlocked and came on board the V-Ship.

Zeus said, “Mary, you should have told me that you are planning something.”

Hera said, “This is my idea and I did not want you to talk us out of it.”

Jesus said, “I figured you were behind it.” Jesus looked at Billy. “What is he doing?”

Mayor Hollis Bare said, “He is setting things up to create visions in the sky. He wants to convert the soldiers to our side. And by the way, I am humbled and blessed to be in the company of such great gods.”

Jesus smiled. “You are worthy.”

Billy said, “The first vision in the sky should be Jesus on the cross. And then we need crosses coming up out of the ground. And they need to be real and not just a vision. Do you think we can manage that? I have plotted out the positioning for our magic.”

Hera looked at what Billy was talking about. She said, “Okay! Cool idea. I think I can work that. One of my favorite fantasies is watching Hercules as Jesus be crucified over and over again.”

Jesus snarled. “Yeah. Anyways.” Jesus studied what Billy had done. “I am certain that I can materialize 1,000 crosses to begin coming up out of the ground.”

Billy screamed with glee, “Oh fantastic. Sabian Blackrock is actually on the ground down there. He will be the first one I will put on the cross. He is a screamer. And he is a cry baby. He, himself, will scare the soldiers. And I will so enjoy torturing him.”

Mayor Hollis Bare stared at Billy. “Remind me not to ever piss you off.”

Billy laughed, “Let us get it going. We are going to have some fun today.”

Lucifer flew is spaceship up. He docked it at the rear of the V-Ship. He came on board. Lucifer and Zeus stared at each other like they were about to start fighting. But they didn’t fight.

Lucifer asked, “I talked to dad. He wants me to work with you all. So what is our plan.”

Billy explained and Lucifer said, “Hades could not have come up with a better plan himself. We will get them good and scared before the battle even begins”

Billy said, “Now remember. We want them to come over to our side.”

King Arthur pulled his ship up with around 1,000 men on board. He beamed himself aboard the V-Ship. “Leroy Bare called Merlin up and Merlin told me to get my ass here. I can’t believe the assholes did this Whitehead and Baretown.”

Billy asked, “Where is Leroy?”

“He is on the ground with the Wilcox Family.”

“Does he have a plan?”

“He and his Wilcox crew have begun freeing people from the cages. He saw some holes in the enemy lines where he could sneak in and he wanted to take advantage of the lapse while it still existed so he could free as many souls as possible before the battle begins.”

Billy explained what their plan was.

King Arthur nodded. “So we don’t want to cage them separately but route them into a Church Camp.”

“Right.”

“And what if it becomes obvious this group of souls are too aligned with the enemy leadership to change sides?”

Lucifer said, “I have a prison for them that Satan and Belial can not gain control over. Only Amelia herself could hand it to them.”

King Arthur nodded. He didn’t want to show awe at being in the company of such great gods but still when he saw Zeus and Jesus and realized they were there, he fell to his knees. “Please know that I am humbled to be before you and my allegiance is always with you.”

King Arthur kissed the hands of Zeus, Jesus, and the Virgin Mary. “We will win this war.”

Zeus smiled. “Rise my good man. With your great and honorable ways, we will win this battle.”

Hera touched King Arthur on the face as he rose. They looked into each others eyes. Hera said, “How is Merlin doing?”

“He is still working on the plan, but so far, he has not gotten any results.”

“Sometimes I wonder if Amelia is really sleeping or if she has left these worlds.”

Zeus stared at Hera. He spoke. “Yeah, left this world not knowing she was leaving this world in the hands of such unworthy gods as we.”

Billy said, “Maybe if we prove that we are worthy, then she will wake and we will again be one with the greatest God of all.” Billy took a swig of his beer. “Of course in the meantime we are going to have some fun today and kick some ass and show who is boss. This will be a day that Sabian Blackrock remembers.”

Chapter / Episode List of the Heathville Serial

Mayor Hollis Bare sat down in the pilot’s seat. Billy searched the cabinets.

“What are you looking for?” Mayor Hollis asked.

“I am wanting me some pretzels and beer.”

“You are too young to drink.”

“You would deny a dying man his last wish.”

“I don’t have any pretzels or beer on board. You will have to use your magic.”

Billy snapped his fingers and a tray appeared next to a seat with pretzels and beer. He sat down. He guzzled beer from the mug and then he chewed on a pretzel. Then he picked up a communication phone. He punched in some buttons.

“Leroy, are you there.”

“We just dived into the ocean and are on our way to the Shark plane.”

“Well. Mayor Hollis Bare and myself are on our way to Whitehead and Baretown.”

Leroy shouted into the phone. “Are you crazy? That place has a damn enemy army that is scary as hell. I just barely escaped them.”

“Here is the thing. The Virgin Mary and Hera are on their way there. They have not asked for help but you know we’ve got to help them.”

“Oh fuck. Okay.” Leroy flew his spaceship back out of the ocean.

Standing on the beach below, Stewart Duddley saw the spaceship fly out of the ocean. “Yeah, something is going on,” Stewart thought to himself.

Bachus questioned Leroy. “You are actually going back to that hell we just left.”

“The Virgin Mary is in danger. We can’t let anything happen to her.”

Mini Wilcox nodded. “Do you think she might allow us into heaven? I would so love to go to heaven.”

“We will find you a safe place but you can’t go from Hades to heaven. You have to earn the right to be born back on regular earth and from there you can earn your way to freedom.”

Professor Wilcox said, “But we want to go to heaven.”

“From heaven you can travel anywhere. You will be free. That does not mean you can’t join community of souls to do stuff together in heaven, but the important thing is freedom.”

Bachus asked, “Have you ever been to heaven?”

“A long time ago. But I returned to earth to fight in the Pluto Viso Wars. And now I am in Hades.”

Mini asked, “So we died and did go to hell?”

“No. You were already in Hades. You were born in Hades. When you died, you simply remained in Hades.”

Bachus asked, “So we were already in hell?”

“No. Hell and Hades are two different places. Maybe to better understand, Catholics sometimes call this place where we are at purgatory.”

Professor Wilcox said, “So when did we die and go to purgatory?”

“I don’t know. But in your last life on regular earth, the machine decided that you were not worthy to live another life on regular earth and should instead be born in purgatory or Hades. You may have been born to live the same life over again or live a different life. Regardless, the point is that you have to prove that you worthy to be born into a life on regular earth again.”

Bachus asked, “Why would the Virgin Mary be in Hades?”

“She came here by choice. Of that I am certain. But I don’t know the particulars of why. I mean, I could make some guesses but they would just be guesses.”

Mini said, “So guess.”

“When Belial took control of Pluto Viso, its Hades spilled over to regular Pluto Viso and then Belial took control of its heaven and the souls became prisoners with no hope of gaining freedom. Many souls became caged. It was awful. Pluto Viso became the world of the hopeless. I am sure the higher powers, which includes the Virgin Mary, do not want that to happen on planet earth. We don’t want earth to become a world without pleasure, without hope, without aspirations, without dreams.”

Bachus scratched his head. “And if we fail the Virgin Mary or she fails us, that might happen.”

“We can’t fail her. She would never willingly or wantingly fail us. She would never turn her back on us and we must never turn our back on her.”

Bachus patted Leroy on the back. “I thank God that he brought you to us.”

Zeus spoke into a microphone. “You are welcome.”

Jesus yanked the microphone from Zeus. Leroy could hear Jesus, “Get to the ship. We’ve got some fighting to do.” Then Jesus said, “Leroy, Billy Bingo has spoken with us and we are on our way. He told us to be watching for you.”

“Good. And thanks.”

Zeus said, “Leroy, I liked what you were saying.”

“Just the truth.”

Zeus said, “Amen.”

Jesus said, “Amen.”
