Now, I can finally bring forth my originally planned story upon the world. "Souls of Death" continues from where "When Jenny Met Kyo" left off. Review, but no flamers. I think that's enough of the formalities. Now let's get this show on the road!!
Jenny sat on the top of a tall office building in Tremorton. Her legs were crossed, dangling off the edge of the building. Beneath her, people went on with their average lives, walking around the sidewalks and streets of her small, yet cozy, city. Jenny looked up at the clouds filled with snow above her, smiling. Her CPU was at optimum performance, and Jenny felt like she hadn't a worry in the world. But now, she sat and waited for Kyo, her new boyfriend, whom she cherished with all her heart. She had been feeling jubilant ever since they made their promises to each other just 1 year ago. Since that day, that glorious, beautiful autumn day 1 year ago, autumn had fallen upon the city once again. Jenny was eagerly anticipating Christmas, only 1 month away, when she and Kyo would take long, romantic walks in the snow-covered forest where he lived. She daydreamed of his comfortable Japanese-style home, filled with happy, bustling little robots known as servbots who lived to serve Kyo, and Jenny, since he had told them to do whatever she wanted them to do. He treated her so well, that Jenny waited for one day to come when he would finally give her an engagement ring, so that they could be bonded in holy matrimony. Yes, she considered her life perfect ever since she met him. And now she could see the man she loved in the distance.
"That was fast," Jenny said to herself. She got up and started waving at Kyo so as to alert him to her position. He kept coming in faster and faster, and stopped just in front of her, suspending himself in midair with his jet boots. Jenny stared at him for a few moments, with a romantic expression on her face, and he did the same.
"Hey, Jen," he said to her as he landed on the building, embracing her. Every time he saw her, he would greet her with a warm hug. After a few moments, Jenny activated her jet boots and waited in midair until Kyo was ready. The two flew off at a blazing speed.
"Kyo, have you found anything yet?" Jenny asked him curiously.
"No, nothing yet. I've been searching in every nook and cranny, high and low. I've asked everyone on the street today if they knew anything, but without any success whatsoever."
Beginning three weeks ago, the death toll in Tremorton had been steadily increasing for no apparent reason. Under the mayor's request, Jenny and Kyo had been tasked with the responsibility of whom or what was the cause. During the three-week period, both had found nothing. Not the tiniest scrap of info. No clues, no possible culprits. But they had considered Vexus a likely suspect for a while, but realized that she hadn't bothered them for a while. Jenny and Kyo were becoming desperate. But their predicament would soon change.
The inseparable duo flew high above the city, keeping a sharp eye out for even the slightest hint of suspicious activity. Rather than something interesting, they found only normal people performing normal tasks in a semi-normal city.
"Kyo, nothing's happening. We have no leads. We've looked everywhere and asked just about everyone in the city. And yet we've still found nothing," Jenny said dully. "I'm ready to give…" A loud roar could be heard from behind them, some distance away.
"What in the HELL was that?" Kyo inquired. He turned around and saw a small black dot in the distance flying rapidly towards them. It had a rather thin and bony appearance, as if it was anorexic.
"Whatever it is," Jenny said anxiously, "I'll bet it's responsible for what's been happening! I'll scan it and see if I can't tell what it is." Jenny fixed her gaze upon the approaching object. "My God! What is this damn thing?"
"Is something wrong?" Kyo asked nervously, keeping his look upon the thing.
"Yes. VERY wrong," Jenny replied. "It's an organic life form, but the vitals…the vital signs…are completely nonexistent! How is it alive?!"
Kyo's head began racing with thoughts as to what it might be. He dismissed every possible answer, but came upon one that horrified him. "How in the hell…I thought it was a made-up entity that you would only hear about in stories! But now…this creature is a calamity to mankind!" Kyo thought frantically. He looked at Jenny with frightened eyes. "Jenny!" he yelled, "That creature…that monster…is Death itself!"
