  When Cerberus emerged from the underworld it was nighttime. Not far from the entrance he could see strange lights moving at high speed. Cerberus bounded across the countryside and came to a halt in the middle of a road. The driver of a bus braked hard and managed to stop just a few feet away from Cerberus. For a moment the two simply looked at each other in surprise. Then Cerberus pulled one of his three heads back before smashing through the glass and biting off the driver's head. Screams of terror filled the vehicle and passengers moved to the back of the bus trying to get away from Cerberus. By then the bus became engulfed by the swarming dead who smashed the windows. Ghostly hands reached into the vehicle and pulled their screaming victims out. Teeth and claws of the dead ripped through the flesh of the living and minutes later Hades shadowy realm had new subjects. Onward the ghoulish army marched. When they encountered a police car a few shots rang out, but what can bullets do to those who are

  The very same priest who had railed against the 'miserable resuscitators of a degenerate dead religion' was holding mass in a church beleaguered by hordes of the dead. "It is a punishment from God for our sins," he said. "It is a punishment for homosexuality and divorce, a punishment for abortions and a revived paganism. Let us pray and repent our sins and the Lord will save us."

  At that very moment one of Hydra's heads peered through a window. It smashed through the glass and grabbed the priest with its jaws. Hydra took a bite and tossed the body to another of its heads where the same gruesome spectacle was repeated until there was nothing left. At the same time its mighty tail smashed open the church door to let the dead pour in and overwhelm the terrified worshippers.
