Darkness Rising

This was a non-canon story for Season 3. It included Joe Corbin, but not the other characters TheIkranRider dislike such as Sophie Foster, Daniel Reynolds, and especially Pandora and the Hidden One. Also, much like Dreamscape, she wanted this to be another creepypasta.

Anyway, this started out when Gavin and Ichabod were camping out. After their first night, the threat came to be as a dark mist covering the entire city, affecting organisms that breathed in the evil air, including animals. The guys saw a flock of cranes attack each other to the point of death. They dove into a lake as the mist was closing on them; luckily the mist passed over them and they weren't infected. When they left their destroyed campground, they noticed the citizens were more aggressive than usual, and Abbie was alarmed with the effects. They made it safely to the Archives and the Freemason came across an entry made by Benjamin Franklin, involving the Hellfire Club, an ornamental pot, and no cure. It was once a way to increase the demonic army. Without a known reversal, Ichabod was stunned.
Jenny and Joe made it to the Archives but without incident. It was later revealed they were enticed by the dark mist, along with a few anonymous officers. They captured Abbie as a sacrifice to force Ichabod to comply and become one of them. He resisted, but with a price, as he wound up with a bleeding, open wound. He was trying to bleed out the toxins from the scratch he got, and Gavin suggested to treat him in a place of safety. They made it to a church, then Ichabod collapsed. A few onlookers took them in, along with their vital supplies.
He eventually came to, and the reverend stated he was safe. Ichabod later came up with a plan for his own reversal, using holy water and the Onondaga tribe's chief since he was a shaman. Being he was a Witness, it convinced the reverend that only he can save the city from the darkness, so he gave him whatever was left of the sacred water. Before they headed to the village, he sensed someone was watching him.
They were hospitalized a few miles from Trout Lake and the cabin, but the guys were being chased by more affected wildlife. They were spared by the tribe and were low on weaponry and food. Soaring Crane revealed the plan to Chief Turgado. He ordered Battle Hawk to stay and protect the tribe while the witch doctor would conjure a rainstorm using the holy water. He went on his way to save Abbie, but he was ambushed by Jenny and Joe. He headed to the police department and was halted by them, forcing him to surrender. They didn't kill him but made him succumb to the infection which changed his outlook. As a sense of fulfillment on achieving his destiny as a Witness, while the demon becomes the second one.
He, Jenny and Joe met up with the demon lord, Gospodor. He rallied up the infected citizens and declared to infect the entire world since he obtained a destined Witness. But luck wasn't on their side as Turgado finally conjured a holy water rainstorm, albeit temporary. It was able to reverse the curse and stun Gospodor as he retreated to the highest peak, the old water tower.
Jenny and Joe came to the Onondaga village after they saved Abbie. Each of them, including Gavin and Turgado, prayed for Soaring Crane's victory while he faces off with Gospodor. Meanwhile a violent storm occurred as the two masses began to clash with one another. And Ichabod fought him off before the devil used the same elaborate pot to restart and expand the process; however, they, and the tower, were struck by lightning. Turgado sensed it and the team hurriedly drove to it. Abbie and Joe were able to revive Crane and he was successful.
Lastly, Ichabod and Gavin resumed their camping trip and climbed the high hill (referred from "Into the Wild") during a sunset. He wishes to follow his destiny as a Witness benevolently and be able to make Sleepy Hollow see the light and end the war, much like the magnificent sunset itself.
== Trivia ==
* This is a non-canon oneshot, originally was supposed to be a Halloween special and Ikran's second attempt on doing a creepypasta, although this can take place somewhere in Season 3, without the bothersome cast.
* This was also roughly inspired by the Garlic Jr Saga from Dragon Ball Z; Ikran despises it, especially with the concept with the Black Water Mist!
* The antagonist, Gospodor, means Demon Lord in Latin, and the demon was loosely based on Darkness in Legend.
