There was once a young man who lived long, long ago. He was a magnificent swordsman, and so he joined the most feared army of its time. This army was known to raid anything in its path, and at this time, they were attacking many of the small villages that they came across. The Cenobites recognized this army as the most corrupt and the General as the most evil of the time. But the General possessed the box, and he intended to use it once he figured it out. He called upon the young man to open it once he understood the pattern of the puzzle, so he used the boy as a test for the box's power.

And so the Cenobites came to the young man and they explained to him that he was to be taken back with them. "You must come with us," said the Female Cenobite.

"Wait," said Pinhead, "I see the power within his eyes. He must become one of us if he wishes to live." In exchange for eternal life, the boy agreed. The young man was able to move freely throughout the camp, as if he were still one of the soldiers, and he selected the souls for the Cenobites to take with them. The Cenobites were pleased.

Then the boy remembered who he had become, and who he used to be. He had forgotten the man he was, and he realized the sins that he had been committing. He ran to the General's tent, searching for the box. When he found it, he intended to trick the Cenobites and to send them back to hell with the power of the box. He took his sword with him, just in case the box woud not work.

When he met with the Cenobites, Pinhead knew what was going to happen. "What have you brought us, boy?" he asked.

"I've come to tell you something very important," said the boy. "You're all going back to Hell, right now!" Then the young man pulled out the box and frantically tried to sove the configuration. Just as he was nearly there, the box flew out of his hand and into the hand of Pinhead.

"So, Judas, you have tried to trick us," said Pinhead.

"Chhchhhchhh", chattered the Chatterer.

"Now we must punish you," said the Female Cenobite. "Would you like to know the pain we are capable of?" Then the Female Cenobite pulled out a different box. It had the same gold trim and it was definitely a puzzle, but it was different.

"This is the Entrapment Configuration," said Pinhead. "If you can solve this, we shall release you."

"What if I can't?" asked the young man. Pinhead smiled and let out a low, ominous laugh.

"Then you, Judas, shall be suffering for all eternity within the Entrapment Configuration. And your suffering shall be legendary, even in Hell".

The boy tried to solve the puzzle box, but to no avail. The first move he made, the box flew out of his hands and onto the ground. The boy brandished his sword and said: "This is not over, Pinhead! Let us play, now!"

"Goodbye, Judas," said Pinhead. "Please enjoy the suffering." And the Cenobites laughed.

Over 200 years later, there were two college students, one named Joe and the other named Chris. "Hey, man. I bought this cool puzzle off of some guy at the campus," said Chris.

"Oh, come on, man. That thing doesn't look like it's worth the stuff it's made out of!" said Joe. "Go ahead and open it", he said. Chris looked at Joe.

"Well," he said, "the guy said not to open it. He said something bad would happen. Bad things, man".

"Well, let's go back to my room," said Joe. The two young men went back to Joe's room, where they studied the box.

After a while, Chris mustered the courage to try to solve it. His fingers moved over the corners and desings on the box. Then, he moved his thumb across the center, and the box opened! He pushed the opened part back down and then, as if by magic, the box flew out of his hands and onto the floor. After the configuration moved once more, the center opened, producing a blinding white light. A loud rumble was heard and the wall before them opened from the center, and through this portal stepped the Cenobites.

"Ahhh, gentlmen. Glad to see you. Are you ready to play the game of suffering?" said Pinhead. The two men ran out the door in terror.

"They're getting away," said Angelique.

"We will find them soon enough," said Pinhead. "They will cross paths with us again."

While running down the street, Chris saw the man who sold him the box at a distance. He was watching them. "That's him!" he said. "That's the asshole who sold me that thing!" They ran after him, but he ran away. But before he ran, he had dropped something. Chris squatted down to inspect what he had dropped. It was another box, with a note attached. "You need this if you want to live." read Chris.

"Ahhh no," said Joe. "No more boxes. I almost shit myself because of what just happened. And if you think for one minute..." but Chris had already picked up the box.

"Hey, it can't be worse than what we've got right now!"

"What have we got right now?" said Joe. "We've got a bunch of demons chasing after us. What could be worse?!?"

Both of them went over to Chris' room, where they argued about whether or not to open the box. Finally, they decided that it couldn't hurt to see if there was something in the box that could help them. Maybe some sort of instructions or something. So once again, Chris inspected the box and, after a few turns, the box flew out of his hand and onto the floor. Joe and Chris looked at each other. "If this is another demon, I'm gonna kill you," said Joe. Then, in a blinding white flash, a man appeared. This man was holding a sword. He had the same pale white complextion as the Cenobites, but he was different. He dressed in black clothes with a cloak. And he didn't look as nearly as frightening as the Cenobites.

"Who opened the box? Who solved the configuration?" said the man. Neither of them answered, afraid that this was a mistake. "Thank you," said the man. "I am called Judas. I have been trapped for 200 years in that piece of shit!" He looked at both Joe and Chris. "Oh, no," he said. "You look like you opened the other box, too, huh? Well, did you? Tell me what you know!" Both of them explained to Judas what had happened. "Well, I can help you. But we must find Pinhead and the other Cenobites first. We have to trap them somewhere safe and far from other people."

"Wait," said Joe. "How the hell do you TRAP them. I mean, they don't look that stupid!" Judas smiled, and removed his sword.

"That's what this is for!"

Chris looked at Judas and said: "I know a place we can go, but we gotta go now. They're coming after us!"

Joe and Chris went to the basement of one of the near by buildings. "This building is closed," said Chris. "Nobody is gonna find us here." Just then, Pinhead appeared across the room.

"Are you so sure? You cannot escape us, boy, we are eternal. And we are everywhere. What's that you have there? A box? Hahahaha, you don't have the power to use that box. It is worthless to you." Joe looked at the box in his hand.

"I hope we know what we're doing," he said to Chris. Chris took the box and moved his thumb over the top.

"No, don't do that. Give me the box and we will spare you," Pinhead exclaimed. After another movement, Chris had once again solved the configuration, and the box flew to the ground. "No, that is not possible," said Pinhead with wide eyes. The box made one more movement befor opening, when a blinding flash came from the center and from the opening came Judas, giving a loud howl as he levitated in the air. "No, this can't be!" said Pinhead. Judas landed on the ground and brandished his sword.

"Time to play," said Judas.

"You still think the sword can help you?" said Pinhead.

"Ah, but you see, this sword protected me from the suffering. After the first 150 years of torment, I was finally able to master the power that I had acquired as a demon. And now, Pinhead, it's time to die," said Judas. Pinhead, realizng that he could not handle this alone, opened the gates once more and summoned the other Cenobites. The wall opened behind him, and through the gates stepped the other Cenobites: Angelique, her hands now claw-like and bloody; Butterball; CD; Camerahead; the Chatterer and his Chatterer Beast; and finally the Twins.

"I thought the traitor had been trapped in the box," said Angelique.

"The mortals have freed him," replied Pinhead.

"Still," said Angelique, "he sould not be standing after the suffering. He should be kneeling before us, begging for death." Judas looked at Angelique.

"Yes, I suffered for 150 years," he said, "but then I became that suffering that I was meant to feel. Now I am that pain incarnate. And now, my friends, it's time to play."

"Yes," said Pinhead, "time to play..." Angelique looked at the Chatterer, who in turn looked to the Chatterer Beast.

"Chhchhhchhchh", he chattered. Then the Beast ran towards Judas, growling and chattering all the way. Judas raised his sword in preparation and, just as the Beast was upon him, he turned to his right side and decapitated the Chatterer Beast.

"Ahhhhhehhh," groaned the Chatterer in despair. Then the Twins began to separate, their twisted flesh melting betwenn them, and as they moved to either side of Judas, the Chatterer, Camerahead, CD, and Butterball surrounded him. He poised his sword, ready for any attack. Camerahead lunged at him, and Judas, with one quick move, sliced his face, removing the camera. As Camerahead fell, Judas saw him return back to his human form. Judas looked towards the Chatterer Beast and saw a normal dog laying there, decapitated. As CD jumped at him, he quickly sliced upwards, splitting his head wide open, and then sliced down and to the left while spinning around, slicing Butterball's belly open, his intestines spilling out onto the ground. CD fell instantly, but Butterball fell to his knees and began scooping his insides back in, then fell on his side, dead.

Just then, the Chatterer grabbed Judas, while the Twins moved in for the kill. Judas' sword fell to the ground, as the twisted flesh of the Twins surrounded him, ready to crush him. Judas began a loud, low moan. And as the moan got louder, sparks of electrical energy ran through his body. Then, as the moan was nearly deafening, the sparks reached the sword, and the sword levitated high in the air. Then, it came crashing down upon the twisted flesh surrounding Judas, and the Twins fell to the ground. The Chatterwe punched at Judas, but he was too quick for the Chatterer, as he blocked, then punched right into the Chatterer's mouth. Judas stayed there, then twisted his hand within the Chatterer's mouth, breaking his neck. The Chatterer fell to the ground.

Judas looked at Angelique and Pinhead, as he let out his hand and his sword flew into his grasp. "The pawns are dead, only the king and queen remain. What is your move, queen?" said Judas. Angelique ran at Judas, claws outstretched, ready to strike. But Judas cut her in half at the belly with little effort. Pinhead looked up in astonishment. "Let's finish the game," said Judas. Pinhead summoned the chains to attack Judas, but to little effect, as Judas cut down all of them with each slice of his blade. Pinhead fell to his knees and Judas, looking down at him, patted his head. "Poor Pinhead, I will relieve your suffering." Then, he grabbed his head, and with one cut, separated it from the rest of his body.

Judas looked back at Joe and Chris as he headed towards the gateway. "Where are you going now?" said Joe.

"As I enter the gate, I will destroy it. Then I will hope to destroy Leviathan himself," replied Judas.

"Even if you destroy him, are you coming back?" asked Chris.

"No," said Judas. "I can only hope that I'm right, that the Cenobites will never again be able to enter this world." Judas looked down at the corpse of Pinhead and chuckled. "Time to play, Pinhead? Heheh. This game is over." The corpses of the Cenobites began to burst into flames. And then Judas stepped through the gateway.
