Welcome back. Let get going.
Again thank you AdventureGuy for the help.
Chapter 2: A new Power and New Adventures
"Shut up." Grim mumble.
"I'm just saying at this point you should be more aware of Billy idiocy." Mandy said in a matter of fact way.
Those two was having an argument about Grim putting a magic lock of some kind on his trunk to keep Billy out.
"Of course I'm aware!" Grim yelled frustrated at her telling him what to do with his stuff.
"I don't cause I know ONE day mon. I'm gonna end up forgetting the code and be locked out of my stuff forever." he said.
Mandy only replied with. "Why don't you write it down then?"
"Because then Billy or someone else will still get a hold of it."
Meanwhile, our mystery man from the skull box was over there doing stretches. The creaks of his bones echo in the background of Grim and Mandy's argument.
"Oh damn. Been awhile since I could move." he said as he moved his neck around grunting a bit.
Billy, who just stared at the man during this. Became bored and started talking to him.
"So do you know where my copy of Rogue One is?" he asked hopeful.
"Sorry kid, no idea." the man said.
Billy frown at this. "Hey you said you could help me! You lied didn't you?" Billy accused.
"Yup, sorry kid. But hey, thanks for letting me out of there. It real boring in that thing." he said thanking him.
"Now me Dimeos, and my brothers and sisters can rule this world with our army. Conquer the underworld. And set our place as rulers of all creation." the man now name Dimeos said in a deep evil voice.
Billy sat there rubbing his head while the two others argued in the background.
"But in that case. Why is it just you?" Billy asks confused.
The demon man eyes widened. "What!"
He turn around behind him to see that the skull box was still there but for some reason still close as well.
"Oh. I guess it closed it self automatically as soon as I was out. Probably designed it to do that so not everyone got out. Clever." Dimeos said impres.
Dimeos then proceed to walked towards the box.
Meanwhile.
"And I have you know that-."
"Um Grim that guy getting away." Mandy said interrupting their discussion.
Grim turn to the scene and gasped. "Quick stop him! He going to unleash all of the other demons!" Grim yelled.
Mandy sighed, since this was pretty common, and begin running at the demon man.
Dimeos either didn't seem phase by this or didn't notice and continue his path.
When she was close enough she jump up and did a perfect spin in mid air. About to deliver a roundhouse kick to the side of his head.
But Dimeos didn't even try to dodge and took the hit right on.
But when she connected, instead of breaking his head, there was a flash of some purple electricity. Like a sort of discharge at where she kick and around her foot.
Which resulted with Mandy being bounce back away from him.
Being a badass, she landed right on her feet next to Billy. But her right foot, the one she tried to kick him with. The shoe on it was smoking and you can a part of it been brunt.
"Ow! What the hell was that?" she said feeling her foot making sure it was still attached to her.
Billy being worried ask. "Are you okay Mandy?"
"Yeah." she replied and look up to Dimeos who was picking up the box. "But it didn't even feel like I touch him. Or anything. All I felt was a quick pain there and something bounce me back. Like a invisible wall or whatever."
Meanwhile Grim who saw the whole thing. Had wide eyes….err, umm...eyeholes more like. You know because he doesn't really have eyes.
"Wh...was tha...it couldn't be….that energy,...KYE?" he said in a low voice so no one head him.
Dimeos only look at Mandy with a smirk and said with his voice in a debauchery tone.
''ohh ain't that cute? the little human teenage girl thinks she can beat me up. go home kid and be next to your mommy and daddy where is your place'' he said bored.
Mandy begin to growl and stand back up. "Why you arrogant piece of-"
"Mandy stop!"
Mandy and Billy looked back at Grim who yelled. He had his trusty scythe in his hands. Then just like a hoverbike he jumped on it.
"Come on kids! We're getting out of here." he said and flew over to scoped them both up and head upstairs.
''Man i thought you were going to use your supernatural powers and your huge knife to epic battle him away'' Billy says disappointed.
Grim just shakes his head. "No Billy. That is not someone that my normal powers would work on." he said.
In seconds they were right outside of Billy's house, in his yard. Everyone hop off of Grim's scythe. That when Mandy decided to ask. "Well Grim, you gonna tell us who that was."
"To be honest. I'm not fully sure myself. But I can tell you that he can kill us. If he want to of course." Grim said.
Before she can ask anymore, a great beam of light burst out of Billy's house making a hole in it and in the clouds. The group could see a brunch of black things moving in the light and into a black portal in the sky.
The most notable were some light purple numbers, consist of 1 through 10 moving of Billy's house and into the sky.
"ahhhhhhhh! Math is attacking us, i know this day would come sooner or later" he said hiding.
"How the hell are you in high school mon?" Grim asks.
"Easy. I just say to my teachers. If you fail me, you get me again next year." Billy said.
Grim was kinda shocked by that.
"That's...wow." was all he said to that. Unable to think of anything else.
"Sounds legit. Who would like to have you again next year? " Mandy said.
"Cmon we need to hide and think of a plan to stop another thing to destroy the world...again" Grim said tired.
"Let go to my house. We'll take my car." Mandy said. She had gotten her license awhile ago and was able to get a car too.
Grim nodded and grab Billy.
"What about my house!?" Billy screamed.
"Don't worry. We go back as soon as they leave." Grim said.
"And my mom and dad?" he asked.
"Oh please who would want them anyway?" Mandy said and Grim agreeing with an. "She's right you know."
Mandy car was park right next to them. It was a black cameo. Look really nice too. They all hop in with Mandy in the driver seat, Grim ridin shotgun, and Billy in the back.
Before they took off Bill had to ask something. "Uh Mandy? How did you buy this car?" he ask. To which she replied with, "Don't asks stupid question Billy." and started driving away.
Billy looked back at his house through the back window. ''ohhh man! i hope mommy is ok...she still has to clean my room.''
After a while driving Mandy has arrived in her house and put her car in the garage.
They all went in her living room and sat on the couch.
Billy being the first to say anything asks. "Soooo what now?"
"Nothing." Mandy said while grabbing a can of soda from the fridge. "We just wait till Underfist gets word of this and they'll take care of this." she said taking a slip of her drink.
Ever sent the Halloween insistent, Underfist has continued keeper Endsville safe from any bigger threats like this one.
Grim shook his head. "I'm afraid they won't be able to stop this foe." he said.
Both of the teens like at their bony friend with eyes full of questions.
Grim sighed and took a seat in a chair and began speaking.
"I couldn't tell at first but I know now who we are dealing with." he paused and took a deep breath.
"The empire of the dark abyss!" he said all for boarding like.
''Such cool name'' Billy said.
''ok, and how much of a big deal this guy is?'' Mandy asks.
Grim gave her a confused face and said. "Guy? Ahahahah! You must not have heard me right." Grim laughed at her.
"I said EMPIRE. And it not just one guy in charge either." he said.
He took a second to get his act up and continue. "They are called the 10 dark knights and they are not to be mess with. They come from the age of...KYE." Grim said.
"i hate lessons of history. It's boring stories about people who are dead now." Billy yanw.
''Respect the dead you stupid fool.'' Grim says angry.
Mandy sigh at her so called friends bickering. "As you were saying Grim. What is or where is this Kye place?" she said wanting to get back on track.
Grim turn to her and continued.
"Kye is not a place or a thing. It is..a type of energy so to speak." he said.
"Energy?" Mandy asks.
"Yes, an energy that every living being, or...non-living being, has inside their souls waiting to be unlock." the reaper said.
Mandy and surprisingly Billy was now giving Grim their full attention. Billy even raise his hand quietly waiting to be pick to be speak. Which Grim did.
"Soooo you mean magic like you, Irwin, or that one time Mindy had some." Billy ask and to which Grim shock his head. "It pre-dates even things like magic or science. In fact those two things got it from Kye." Grim told.
"Well kinda. I mean in a way all magic is connected to Kye. But raw Kye is a lot more powerful. Especially when you mix both of them together." Grim said.
"So why haven't we heard anything this till now." Mandy asked.
"Because it teachings were lost a long time ago and made forbidden to teach it to anyone. A rule made by the Reaper before me was in charge." Grim answered.
Both of the teens looked at each other and almost reading each other's minds turn to Grim and said the same thing. "Why was is it forbidden?" both of them asks.
Grim sigh. "Because it's the only thing that can kill immortal beings like me." he said. "And it can also turn anyone immoral." he finished.
After hearing him finished that last part Mandy eyes with wide as her brain begin thinking of so many ways i can be useful to her and her future plans.
Seeing the look in her eyes Grim knew he mess up. "I mean not really immortal! Just slow down aging...to basically nothing. I mean sure there also some other thing like super powers, control of the elements, controlling people's minds, maybe a little body changing..." by before he know it. Instead of trying to throw Mandy off. He just got her more excited.
"Shooting energy blasts out you hands." Grim keep on going till.
''Do you think guys like Irwin who is a human,vampire and mummy can have a powerful badass kye?'' Billy says.
''I mean a normal human with magical powers can kill an immortal being? it makes no sense'' mandy says.
To Billy question Grim shrugged his shoulders and said. "Maybe. I not sure if it's genetic that determine how powerful you are. But I think if he was born in the time he would be consider powerful. With enough training of course." he said. And to Mandy's, Grim just look at her with a tilted head saying. "Woman, you know how many crazy adventures we been through? You think that makes no sense?"
''Whatever, now is the world burning yet or is it sunshine out there?'' she asks.
"Good question. I'll go check." Grim said. But before he could get up Mandy pulled on his robe. Grim looked at her and watch as she point to Billy. Smiling and getting the idea he then said. "Hey Billy I uh drop my keys out there. Could you be a pal and get for me? I'll bake you a cake and have a slumber party if you do."
Hearing his friend problem and being the dumb kind kid he was. He wasted no time and ran to the door. "No problem Grim old pal, old friend of mine." Meanwhile both Grim and Mandy hid behind the couch for safely.
They heard the door open and close. Then open and close again. "Here you go Grim."
They both looked up over the couch and to both of their surprise. There was Billy without a scratch on him, holding a pair of keys.
"Man, you two should came outside. The weather perfect." he said.
''Hey what you know,he is not on flames.'' Grim said surprise'
''What a shame.'' Mandy said disappointed
They both walked out through the door and saw that everything was normal. The sky was blue, the birds were singing and flying. There was no tarn in the sky unleashing hordes of demons and monsters apron the earth.
"Huh well you look at that." Grim said all happily.
"I don't get it. Wasn't there suppose to be demons, blood, gore, hell even some rape out here?" Mandy asked confused. But Grim shrugged his shoulders and smile. "Maybe they just left and decided to conquer another world or city. Not that I'm complaining. Less work for us and by us I mean me."
''What is rape?'' billy asks
''Something beyond your peanut brain can understand.'' Mandy says.
In that moment a little bath covered in bandages appears flying around them and it was using...glasses?
''Hey look at that little fella.'' Billy points it out.
Mandy looked up and already knowing who it was she slap it out of the air making it cash down. The bat turn into a puff of smoke and when it clear away it reveal no other then Irwin. Billy's, beside Grim and Mandy, best friend, and Mandy annoying starker. In his Underfist outfit. He been working there ever since the team form. Now the origination was widely know for handling supernatural actives, other than what the three of them did.
He still want to school though but is able to miss some days and classes thanks to his job. He hadn't changed all that much except like Billy and Mandy he was taller. A little less fat but you can still make out his belly a bit.
''I got some wicked powers yo, like turning into a bat and i think i am slowly gaining the powers of a high quality vampire...also mummy.'' he said.
"Great...so what are you doing here?" Mandy asked.
"Well baby I was just over here because our scanners was picking up some weird monster vibes yo. But all of the sudden they disappeared. Did something happen? Need me to...stick around?" he said that last part while looking at Mandy.
Grim decided to try and explain it to him."Well it just so-"
"NO! Nothing at all!" said Mandy interrupting Grim by wrapping a hand around his mouth and Billy's. "We were just about to bake a cake and have a...slumber party." she said.
'Oh that sounds nice yo,can i participate?'' he ask.
''No! it's not for irwins'' Mandy said.
"Oh come-" but at that moment a vibrating come on in Irwin's suit. "Oh shoot. One minute." he said and peassed something on his suit and started talking.
"Hello? Yep. That right. Nope nothing." he said as if he was talking to himself.
"Uhhh, should I call a doctor? Because he's talking to himself." Billy asked. But just as he asks Irwin ended the call.
"Sorry guys I got to go. HQ need me back yo." he jump into the air and transform into his small bat self in a puff of smoke. Before he left he wave back and said. "See you guys at school tomorrow."
"I wonder what I would transform if I have that energy you told me guys.'' billy said
''You already are what you are, a waste of space in the universe.'' Mandy says
"Well at least we'll never find out anyway." said Grim. Making Mandy give him the what the hell looked.
"Um, and by what do you mean by that Grim?" she said in a stern voice. Knowing what she wanted Grim look at both of them and listen to her continued. "You are going to teach us this...Kye right?" she said.
Grim sighed. " Well first of all no. Second even if I did wanted to, which I don't, I don't even know how." he said. "As I said it been long forgotten. Nobody use it like in the old days. It just magic and sometimes science these days. Having anyone even you mortals now would spell big trouble. I could get Fired or worst!" he scream that last part out in fear.
Just as the two of them was about to say more Grim push both of them inside saying. "Hey look at it this way. We don't need it anyway, they left or is probably destroying another world instead. So there's nothing to worry about now."
Grim lock the door behind him and close the blinds. "Now Mandy why don't you tell your mother that you have some guests tonight and Billy? I'll get right on that cake for you." Grim said hoping to get them out of his hair.
The second he heard the word cake Billy grab Mandy by her arm pretty much drag her upstairs out of the room.
Leaving Grim all alone.
Once he was alone he reached into his gray robe. Pulling out a box and opening it.
Inside was two rings. Each with a different color jewel of Green, Red. Grim reached inside and pulled out a small note. It read.
Dear future Reaper after me. If you're reading this, I beg you with all my heart don't let anyone take hold of these Kye rings. There are the last thing that remain of Kye. If they are unleash on anyone, be it human or spirit. The use of Kye will come back into our age. And like a plagued it will slowly stead to everyone, no just the ring holders themselves, but everyone. To both the living realm and the underworld. And then there will be chaos everywhere.
That where the note ends.
Grim thought very hard on this. In his hand was a powerful force that could being everything to ruin slowly and he was about to give it up after so many years. For what? Chaos, ruin, more crazy adventures with those blasted kids? Because one of them was dumb enough to unlock an whole army! The more and more he thought about this. The more it starts to appease him more. With him being death and all, seeing more chaos was a nice thing for him.
And the even more he thought about the crazy adventures stick to it. It finally came to him. This was not the most crazy thing he done.
"If those little brats want cool powers." he said. "I will...GIVE IT TO THEM." he finished with a evil voice and begin to laugh.
"Ahahahahah-"
"Grim! Is that Cake coming along or what!?" Mandy called.
"It better be chocolate strawberry!" Billy yelled.
Grim let out a sigh.
