Loiterer stormed throught the palace, " Die, Die Die ! " He Screamed as he slashed another Darksider in half , the bones of the darkiders he had found littered the ground .hey had killed so many people, they where all dead, C, Jigen, Ridler , Anna , Caitlin. All of them, he had killed all of them. The Bastard, he would find him and tear him apart. He lifted his scyth up and brought it down on the head of another Darksider. He should have come quicker, but the amount of dark energy , the amout of death, it had made the transition difficult. And Now he had failed them. All Of them, he planned to make up for that.
The new throne room
a small Darksider ran hurridly to the New Kings side. Joe now towered over everyone, his wings had grown , his horns too. He Glanced downwards, his black souless eyes examining the terrified creature "Speak "
" There is someone in the palace slaughtering our soldiers my lord, he is very powerfulll " Said The cowering servant
" Tell me, what weapon does he carry "
" A Scyth my lord, and he ears a hoded cloak "
" Loiterer, finally you decide to show yourself " Said Joe Grinning " Send out the word, he is too be left alone, I shall deal with him personally "
Loiterer roared as he summoned a Red beam of energy that tore through the bodies of several of the massed Darksiders. " Where are you !" He yelled turning around " Show yourself ! "
" alright then my friend, enough shouting"
Loiterer spun round to see Joe's towering figure walk out from the shadows, he was taken aback by his friends appearance " Joe, what the hell ha..."
Joe's fist smashed into his face, sending him flying backwars, He slammed into the wall , regaining his sense he barely had time to dodge Joe's frantic energy Blast.
" I was wondering when you'd show up" Said Joe walking forward throwing another bolt at him. " I mean While I was tearing apart the rest of the crew I thought about why you weren't their defending them, They where so easy to kill, you where the only one who could stand up to me " He said Smashing his fist into the wall, where Loiterer's head had been moments ago
Loiterer had ducked , he blasted Joe in his chest sending her flying backwards. " How could you do this, why, what happened happened to you, Why did they have to die ! " He screamed as he threw a beam of dark eneregy into his shoulder. He lifted the scyth up and was about to bring it down onto his head, when Joe's hand wrapped around his throat, he tightened his grip and kicked him in the chest, shatering some of his ribs. " I did it because it was fun, and they hated me, and I wanted to fight " He said laughing and brining his fist down on his head. Loiterer stumbled back, before a dark bolt slammed into his chest sending him flying backwards. " Now I'm going to kill you, and then , I'm going to bring city after city down, and they will all bow to me, " He said Lifting Loiterer up . the reaper tightened his grip on his scyth,
" Scream for me " Said Joe Bringin loiterer up to his face
" Fucking Die! " Screamed Loitere, and a screaming chill wind tore into Joe, The scales where peeled off of his skin as the wind burned and disintegrated them. Loiterer stood up Lifting his scyth up " Your a mad dog , Your not Joe anymore, And I'm gonna put you down, I'm sorry for this " He said bringing the scyth up, and slading the scyth across Joe's chest.
Nothing happened.
" What, why arn't you dead, that should hav..." A dark bolt tore through Loiterer's chest, Joe Grabbed the sycth and tore it out of his hand.
" How in hell, you can't hold it, no human can.. "
" Exatly. the darkness, it's made me more than that, deep in my heart I knew you'd be he hardest to kill, but now that I have this" He said drawing his finger across the scyth's blade
Loiterer growled and tried to throw a red energy bolt at him, But Joe's reptilian hand clamped around it, crushing it. " Goodbye old friend , enjoy Oblivion " He lifted up the scyth and brought it down across his chest.
The wind in the palace picked up, Loiterer let out a wail as his soul was rend from the scyth blade , his corporial form was torn apart , Joe simply watched and grinned as loiterer's soul burned " I'll see you in hell old Friend , Now Die ! " He said , The scyth obeyed, obliterating anything that remained of him.
Joe began to laugh, " It's over, one more city then it's over." He said returning to the throne room.
