As The Grim Reaper Zombie came at me with death in his eyes. I was not sure what to do. For I had doubts that my armor would stop the scythe in its intended mission of removing souls. For I look at armor as protection of the physical body. A Grim Reaper was neither man nor god and was a creation all its own…

That creation was out for my soul and death of me…

I barely dodged the scythe as it cut a deep slice into the wall behind me. I realized that it was of the same power as my sword and for that I had to be careful. I swung my sword at his leg and as it passed through his leg he simply healed and smiled at me. The sword grabbed a little morsel of blood and that was that. The sword did not work the same on him as other creatures. My sword screamed a murderous howl and that started the duel to the death. He next caught me with his scythe and I felt the armor scream under the load and pressure of the power of the scythe. It left a huge gouge down my back and was slow to heal. This was going to be a rough day…

Next experience that stunned us both, was the meeting of the sword and scythe. Neither he nor I was prepared for what happened. There was a repulsion, that smashed us both back from each other and we ended up embedded in the walls of the base. As we extracted ourselves from our tombs, he smiled at me and said you have a Reaper weapon…

Then he charged as I just extracted myself from the wall just in time. Then we fought as we tried to find weaknesses in the other. We were equally matched and the battle raged for hours. His scythe screamed an unholy howl and my sword howled an unholy scream. When they met we had to brace for the explosion and as we fought I could feel the base start to gather toward a collapse. The base complex was getting very weak and it was starting to moan and groan under the weakness…

I could no tell if he could feel it or not and I am not sure that he would have cared. I myself did not want to be buried alive down here. Then it happened, The whole floor collapsed and we were crushed under 19 floors from above. I pushed the armor to its limits and felt the strain and popping noises for the joints as I ripped my way through to the next level, level 19…

I was met with a swiping blow from a scythe and felt like my body had been cut in half. I actually had to check to see if I was in one piece and my hand touched my sword and shield. I got the shield up just in time to stop another scythe swing and then I was back in the game again…

We fought like this for hours and hours more. We would fight until a floor would collapse and then start again on the floor above us. Neither one having the advantage as we leveled one floor at a time. The base slid downwards on top of us as we fought. After what seemed like an eternity we finally reached the top floor…

I saw the door that I had melted and ran for the opening. I came out in a huge hole and leaped straight up to the surface of the ground. I screamed for Dogg, Ben and Girl to run. Do not fight him, for he is too powerful and will take their soul. Beware the scythe, was my last words to them as he smacked me with that scythe like a baseball bat and I flew 100 meters…

I rolled and got up and found that my shield and sword were gone. He did not give me time to think as he attacked and all I could do was to get in close and grapple with him one on one. Out in the open his size advantage became very noticeable. OMG he was huge and he was powerful…

It was everything that my armor could do to stop the crushing blows that he kept pounding me with. I finally got hold of his scythe and an idea came to me. My suit has extraordinary powers and it can absorb energies. As he was concentrating on killing me bare handed, as his right fist smashed me into pulp. I started to absorb his scythe energy. It took him a few minutes to realize what I was doing. Then he roared and tried to take it from my grasp. I held on and then got my other hand on to the shaft also. Then it turned into a matter of life and death. The Reaper was going to do what it took to remove me from the shaft of the scythe…

Then my gang stepped into the picture. They saw and felt what I was trying to do and knew that I needed help. So against my wishes they threw themselves into the fire. Dogg was a huge bear and he was wrapped around the Grim Reapers Zombie head. Just slashing and biting as only a bear can. Ben had stabbed the Reaper in the back and was hanging on to his sword as he was tossed around. Girl was hanging onto his leg and trying to trip him…

The Reaper roared and smashed me against the ground. He tried to pull Bear/Dogg off and that just made Bear/Dogg more determined to hang on. Ben was too far down his back to reach and Girl was too fast. So he just smashed me time and time again against the ground. But with the Reaper having only one hand to use to kill me, because the other was busy with Bear/Dogg, I was able to keep holding on for dear life…

Then it happened…

My suit reached overload s it drained the scythe of power and when I though my armor would melt and implode. The scythe turned to dust in my hands. The Reaper screamed with a roar of total death and we all ended up on the ground. I told everyone to run and do not stop to look back. I said run now or die…

Ben realized that I was serious and they all took off. Girl and Ben grabbed onto Bear/Dogg’s back fur and he ran like a bear going after a honey tree… 🙂

I turned and faced a very very very pissed off Grim Reaper Zombie and knew it was now or never. As my suit of armor reached critical mass. I called my sword and it snapped to my hand. Then I jumped with only the energy of an overly active power source could and sliced the Zombie down the middle. As I sliced I released the energy overload and let the sword use the full power. My sword finally had the energy it needed and after a few seconds, the Grim Reaper realized that he was the lessor of the two and died a very terrible death…

With his death came my rewards and these rewards I could do with out. For I absorbed a Grim Reaper Soul and I preyed as it hit me that my buddies were far enough away. For the explosion was like a atomic bomb went off…

When all calmed down, I stood and as far as the eye could see the earth was barren and flat. Mountains had disappeared, yes the Rocky Mountains as far as I could see had disappeared from sight. The energy was beyond any atomic weapon and I am sure that the gods took notice of what just happened on earth…

I put my sword back into its sheathe and it purred like a happy kitty. My shield was trying to heal from the destruction and my armor looked like it would take days to heal this time. The damage was very sever, but I saw that I would survive…

Then I heard a yell and saw a gang of the best buddies in the world, running toward me. They survived, but how?

Ben explained that Bear/Dogg dug a deep hole as fast as he could. They crawled into the hole and he pulled the dirt over top. The blast it seems while extremely powerful, did not go downwards in direction. It went out and away from the blast center…

But happiness was not to be had just yet…

I then was knocked to my knees as my head tried to explode with pain, as the soul of the Grim Reaper Zombie inside of me, decided to try to take me over…
