The Grim Reaper of The Zombie Gods… (Part 3)

I went to my knees and was holding my head as I was attacked within. That is the last I remember on earth for a few hours. I was taken to the planet that Woewebegone had trained me at. I was alone, yet I knew that I was not alone and that the Grim Reaper would appear when he decided to…

I had no weapons and I had no armor. I was naked as the day I was born and just as defenseless…

Then the Reaper appeared before me and he was in the same state I was. Naked and defenseless, except for our own two hands and feet…

Now a naked Reaper is not something that anyone else has probably ever seen. We all have seen a Grim Reaper and that tattered cloak with a scythe image. We that is the image that they present to humans and others in the Universe. But here before me was a Reaper naked as I was and I have to say he scared me…

He was grey in color and about 12 foot + inches tall. He weighed most likely about 750 to 800 pounds of solid muscle. His muscles rippled as he breathed and that alone was enough to make you wet your pants, if you had any pants on that is…

I looked at myself and I realized that I was no match without sword and armor against this behemoth. I was trying to figure out what to do as he attacked…

I found myself in the grip of a mad demon and he had his icy hand wrapped around my neck, as he tried to squeeze the life out of me. Then as I was seeing spots before my eyes as the oxygen was being cut off to my brain. I remembered how Girls with her Kung Fu can over power a much bigger foe…

Then Woewebegone’s teachings flowed back into my soul and then I did what any red blooded American would do. I stuck my thumb into the Reaper’s eye and tried to gouge his eye out. That made him let go and he backed away in shock. That will teach him to hold me up at eye level…

As he shook his head trying to clear his vision, I realized that fighting dirty was the only way to go and before he even had a chance to clear his sight. I ran up to him and kicked him in the private parts, that all guys have a weakness at. He was no exception and he went down to his knees…

While he screamed like a little girl, I grabbed his head and twisted it as hard as I could. I made a 360 degree twist and snapped his neck. Then all was quiet and I stood there breathing heavy as I tried to recover the oxygen deficiency from earlier. I wondered now what?

I then thought, “Kung Fu Smung Fu!”

Then I was back on earth and Ben was there holding me as I was throwing up and screaming in between throwing up. It was far from over and now the attack was from inside me as the Reaper tried to gain access to my soul and control my body…

I know only what Ben said and that was that I laid there in his arms for about 3 hours before he was able to reach into my mind and help me. I remember Ben standing next to me inside my mind and he was able to bring that wonderful Samurai sword that he loves. With that sword he beat back the Reaper and all the other souls that were trying to get out…

Then as I fell to the ground inside my mind, I saw Woewebegone’s soul take the sword up that Ben had and he flamed out into a bright energy ball that slayed death on anything that moved out of place in my soul world…

Ben took me and we came back to reality. Ben explained that I was almost gone and that I would not have lasted much longer. He said that he finally found away in and came to help. He also said that Woewebegone would hold off the souls until I could figure out what to do, but that Woewebegone could not do it forever…

I laid there as the pressure was released from me and then I could think again…

AS I was thinking a entity appeared before me and it was the sword maker who made my sword…

He had a huge axe in his hands and he said to me, “Cut me down and take my soul! I have a Reaper axe and with that I will keep peace within your soul, as you absorb more and more souls, we will talk later about the future. But for now I can control all who is there and yes even the Reaper! Just don’t go and absorb to many more Reapers please!” Then he smiled and bowed before me, with that huge magnificent axe clutched tightly to his body…

I heard him saying a prayer in his native language I assumed and he then said in English, “Do it now! I feel the Reaper’s power…”

With that I took his head off and once again the heavens and earth shook with a vengeance as I absorbed another soul into my battered inner soul…

Then all became very calm and quiet inside myself. I had not had peace like this for months now…

I fell asleep as Ben caught me as I fell and then two days later I awoke to see my favorite group of humans in the world. Ben, Girl and Dogg were so happy to see me awake. Dogg licked my face and then went to find a Zombie to pick on…

I smiled at the thought of Dogg picking on a Zombie. A regular Zombie would be so nice right now! If only all Zombies were just regular Zombies, what a good world this would be… 🙂

I saw that they had carried me to a forest and they must have walked a long ways, as I had destroyed the earth for miles around and they had laid me under a pine tree. I heard a moan and a growl and then I saw Dogg come running by with a Zombie head in his mouth. He was so happy and so was I as I then decided to think about what we would do next…

I could feel the Sword Maker inside of me as he protected me and I knew that he would fight to the end of the Universe for me. I also looked a Ben and realized from the beginning that he has stood by me and will always stand there also. I saw that Girl was part of the team now and she would not want to be anywhere else and last but not least. Dogg the Totem Dog, the raw power of the group with the strength to tear even the strongest Zombies limb from limb. Faithful and playful…

Yes I was a lucky guy and I decided to sleep some more as I dreamed good dreams for the first time in a long time…

PS: Coming up – The Plan to Escape Earth…

My Armor from the planet called Xcices…

I am going to step back and explain my armor that I have. It like my sword came from another planet and that planet this time was called Xcices. Xcises was a planet of the armor makers for the gods. Woewebegone took me there and had me fitted with a special suit of armor…

I was told to bring the sword, dagger and shield as they all are an intricate part of any armor. We appeared on the planet after Woewebegone did one of his usual magical tricks of exportation. Xcices was a dry, arid planet and the population seemed to be only gods and a few troll armor makers. I was taken to a cave that housed the head of the armorer planet and was told to stand on a special gold disc on the floor in a room of the cave. I was told not to move. In the room came a troll that was just plain huge and uglier than a pug dog…

The troll looked me over and looked at the back of my neck about a dozen times. Smaller trolls came and took measurements. Then another huge troll came in and looked me over. He grunted and groaned a hundred times and then with what sound like a okay grunt he left. I stood on that circle of gold for another two hours. Then a few ugly little trolls came in and led me into a room with a table. I was then told by Woewebegone who appeared from nowhere to take all my clothes off and lay face first down on the table…

I heard a bunch of trolls try to cart my sword off and other stuff. Woewebegone said to let them do what they must do and that I would experience tremendous pain before long. I should live, but be ready for the worst…

I thought, gee thanks…

I later heard that 5 trolls had died and one demigod had died messing with my sword. Woewebegone said that is what they get for fooling around…

Then in came a beautiful goddess. Actually the very first goddess that I had seen. She was really stunning, but the device she had in her hands made me not appreciate her as much as I would like to have. I was told to stay still and that I would feel some pain. She pressed the device against the back of my head and kabamn, I was hit by something that felt like they exploded my brain. Two days later I woke up in a soft bed and comfy sheets. Lots of pretty girls taking care of me and that was pretty cool!

I then found out from Woewebegone that I had a special armor insert installed in my brain. A part of the human brain that is not used, is the place that it is installed. Every set of armor is different for every user and I was the first human that ever had this armor installed. It is an armor that is genetically bonded to the person. It is designed for gods and since us humans are modeled after the gods then it should work. The better my genetics are the better the armor is…

I found out that I would know how good the armor was in one week after it adjusted to my body and healed it self. I waited and was treated like a king while I waited…

After a week went by I was taken to an arena. I was told everything was automatic and my armor if it was working it would save me from the test that I was going to take. I was told that 10% of the armor does not work at all and 30% does not work the first one or two times it is activated…

Well my armor did not activate at all with the first test! I had to bare handed kill a strange creature from the wilds of the planet. It almost took me out instead and was a fair match to the end. I finally broke its neck. When I was done I was yelling something like.” F**** you and the horse you rode up on!” Their answer was to release a bigger badder creature that looked even meaner. The damn suit still did not activate. I killed this creature and as I was getting real mad by now, this creature was killed by sheer meanness on my part. They did not wait for me to even cuss this time and unleashed a huge ugly creature that stood at least 12 feet tall and had fangs a foot long. My armor still did not activate and I was so mad at this point that I killed the creature by grabbing its fangs and ripping them out and stabbing it too death with its own fangs…

Then the final test and they told me that they never ever had to go this far before, You see the suit only activates automatically if the need is there and it seemed to think I did not need any help…

Well this third test, out came twelve creatures and they were in a real bad mood, for you see I just killed all there buddies and I guess that never happens at all. I guess the suit decided that 12 uglies was enough to warrant helping me, because all of a sudden I was coated in the most incredible layer of indestructible material and it all came out of the back of my head. Since I was naked it did not destroy my clothes then , but as I found out later it messes up my clothes I have on. It was deep purple in color and I could hear the murmurers of everyone all over the place at the color. I was told that it was a never seen color before. Black, gray and white are the almost only colors. Red has appeared once and so has tan. I was a huge grape…

I was attacked by the 12 creatures and in less than 2 minutes they were cleaning up the mess I made as I slaughtered all twelve in a record time…

Now I have to tell you this suit is one bad ass piece of armor and in it, I really seem to be indestructible…

Now I spent a good part of a month and trained on how to use my suit. I can activate my suit myself and I have special holder for sword shield and dagger. They alter and work with the expansion of my suit. The bad thing is that when I am done using the suit. I am butt naked..

Before I left the planet I met the god that ran the planet. He was named Marcisis and he looked me over before I left. Then he took my hand and held on as tight as he could and said, “Use the sword, as I give myself to thee to use my powers for good instead of evil.” He then said, “I have been turned by the Zombies and will change! I have not much longer and want to die with a good heart!” I understood that he just came back from a battle against the Zombie gods and it looks like we won but many are lost in the end…

I pulled the sword and it sang as if it knew that it would feed on god blood…

I looked into his eyes and he thanked me as I could see the Zombie virus fighting to overcome him as he knelt there. I cut him plain in half, from the top of his head straight down the middle of his body. By the time the blade exited the body he was drained and I got to absorb the power of a full true upper god. It tore me apart and it was a energy burst like I have not felt since. The sword glowed pure deep purple and pulsated as it sang its death song…

I felt the whole planet shudder as I sheathed the sword and it sighed as it realized that death was put away safe at last. Things have stepped up to a whole new level and I was just beginning to realize that this was no dream and I was standing toe to toe with gods that we only read about in fair tales…

I remember as Woewebegone and I got back to training on our own planet, that he had a new respect for me, but never let up on pushing me to the max…

The best that I can tell you is that the suit is made up of nano technology and it uses nano robots. Tiny tiny little devils that do more than just armor me. They also heal me, cure me and power me up to levels unheard of in human history. I understand that my suit was a perfect match for my genetics and is flawless in every way that they can test…

I was told I have been given a gift that only one human has ever had and it was a gift that exceeded what the gods get as armor. They created my suit from the finest materials dug from the core of the planet and refined to the highest level possible. The nano robots were of a new variety that was designed only for a human and not a god. The true power of the suit is unknown and that I should respect and use it wisely…

I guess I stepped into legend category! When I am outfitted in full weapons and armor, I am considered by human standards as being indestructible. But remember that I said human standards. I am going against gods not humans and besides I feel the effect of the suit and swords power as I struggle to keep my sanity at the same time…

As I have said before, “I am getting to old for this!” I need a vacation…

Woewebegone dead…

To me it has been almost a year that I have been learning Kung Fu! To you it has been just a week or so…

That is the beauty of futuristic technology. Technology that may never bee seen on earth as we know it. For right now as you read this the spread of the Zombie virus is accelerating and soon you will wake to a world of death and destruction. I have tried to warn you and if everyone would just get off their ass and do something about it, then maybe the world would be saved…?

An hour ago I held Woewebegone’s head in my lap as he died. We were celebrating today earlier. The celebration was that I almost could be called a student of Kung Fu. I had actually learned something and Woewebegone admitted it. It was an incredible day for me and as he died in my arms, he called me Stryker…

How did he die?

Let me tell you as I look around at a hundred dead Zombie Gods. Let me tell you how the Zombie gods tried to stop me today. They have succeeded in one thing today, they have woke me up and now I will bring the war to them. God with me I hope…

Hours ago earlier today. Woewebegone and I finished what he said was the last lesson, or at least the last lesson that I would get and even though I was a miserable student of Kung Fu and he had seen a 5 year old with more promise than me. He had to admit that I was as helpless and proficient at the same time in Kung Fu, as I would ever be and nothing anyone, even a god could do anything to change that…

Other words, I plain sucked at Kung Fu but I knew enough to be dangerous and Woewebegone hoped that was enough, because he could not change a sows ear into something pretty…

So we had a party to celebrate that I only sucked half as bad at Kung Fu as I did a year ago. Yes a whole year has gone by and Karate made no sense to me, Kung Fu was more dangerous to me than my enemies and Woewebegone grew to love me anyway…

As Woewebegone and I sat and enjoyed life under a cherry tree that he transplanted for me, from earth. I had my eyes closed and was dreaming of getting back to earth, Dogg and Girl. Woewebegone was half way through a paragraph of telling me about how to get back to earth now and Dogg and Girl would never know that I was gone. Time travel is a interesting concept and you have to have a special god that can do it or otherwise time travel just does not happen. Woewebegone was one of those gods. He gave me a icon of a cross and with this icon I could transverse the heavens alone as I needed, to get to one place or another. Forward or backward in time. But it only worked in very rare occasions and would not work if I was trying to alter history. Other words it worked the best going forward in time, but going back in time it was not so reliable. History was the issue…

As my eyes were closed I heard an abrupt stopping of words from Woewebegone and then he started to gurgle and blood came out of his mouth. Then I noticed a huge spear sticking out of his chest from is backside. The spear was from a god as I recognized the etchings on it from my teachings. I looked around and dodged a spear that was thrown at me. It grazed my cheek and left a faint line of blood. That was close…

Woewebegone slumped against the cherry tree and I thought he was dead. I also knew that thinking would mean I would be killed also. I fueled that rage in me at seeing my friend die and then I fueled it some more and bellowed it into a roaring firer as I thought that everyone dies around me, sooner or later…

I saw no one around me as I stood and walked calmly into the cave that we were staying in. We had moved many times over the years to keep Zombie gods from finding us and we thought that this cave would be a very safe spot. Arrows hit the ground around me and spears flew past me. I could feel the shafts and knew that they would not hit me. As I did not plan on staying still at this point and Zombies gods or not are terrible at aiming and I was skilled in perception now. I was sue that they would not get me with simple arrows and spears at this point…

As I stepped into the cave entrance my sword and shield leaped to my hands. Shield in the left hand and sword in the right. The sword was literally screaming a high pitched hiss and I felt the blood lust it so desired. The sword has waited patiently since its inception and has waited for the first battle. The shield took o a gold fleck metallic maroon color and my armor surrounded me in full. I have not had time to tell you about my armor from the planet called Xcices. It was a field trip that we took a few months ago after the sword field trip and I was fitted in a special armor for the gods. I will have to tell you about that next time…

I stepped out of the cave entrance and what stood before me should have scared me to death. The had to have been a hundred Zombie gods and they were ready to rumble. There was no regular Zombies, these were Zombie gods and were fully armored and weaponized. I was too mad to care and I glanced at Woewebegone and knew he was gone…

They charged at me and I heard my heart sing in tune with the sword and as I screamed that I would kill every last one of the bastards. My sword took a life of its own and I felt as well as saw the blade cut clean through armor that up until this day had never know its defeat. Ever blow upon a Zombie and the blade grew stronger and stronger and stronger. It consumed Zombie blood like a dry sponge in hot water…

My shield returned the same force of the blow back to the attacker and repealed then meters away as they attacked. My armor never once gave away, but I could feel the blows and I am covered in many many bruises…

The Zombie gods kept coming and I just kept killing. I was so mad that I was an inferno of hate and destruction. When there was about 20 Zombie gods left. They broke and ran. They gathered away from me. It looked as though they were in communication and right then I wished that I had Ben the Zombie to tell me what they were thinking. (Ben from the last book!)

Then they broke up and all transported back to were they came from. I am not sure how they did it and it looked as if it was a mechanical transportation. just like on Star Trek, except real transportation…

I put the sword up and shield away. The armor went back to its hidden state. I then ran to Woewebegone and saw that he was verily alive. I held him in my arms and he whispered some last words to me.

He said, “When I die hold me tight and do not let go until you know when it is right! For I will send a jolt to you, that will grow as a child grows inside your soul! My death is not in vain and is only the beginning, For you my son is the new King of the realm! Take me now and hold me tight for I die a strong death!” Then he said, “I name you “Stryker the Conqueror!””

Then he died and as I was realizing that he called me Stryker, I was hit with a bolt of lightning that tore my soul out and then slammed it back inside of me. I felt his power go into me and all that he had became mine. Then as I thought that was bad enough and the pain was overpowering at that. I felt all the power of the gods I had just killed slam me into the ground and around a hundred Zombie gods power of their souls entered me. It was a huge struggle for possession of my soul and my sword which is attached to my soul also was there to fight with me. I won and tamed all other energies and felt a power rush like no other in the universe…

I guess this is going to become the norm for me. Kill a god and gain their power. Ouch, I am getting to old for this…

Next stop home to earth, hug Dogg and Girl, then find the underground bomb shelter and then kick some Zombie ass. Oh yea and next time I will talk about my armor and I will try to write down some of what Woewebegone wanted to tell everyone…

“Stryker the Conqueror!” I like it but I will stick with Stryker. Dogg/Bear might kick my butt if I get too big of a head! 🙂
