My name is Alex, or at least in this new life my name is Alex. As you can already tell by now I have somehow cheated death and have been reborn in some way or fashion. Only instead of being reborn again with no memories and most importantly reborn in MY EARTH! I've been reborn in a kids show I watched as a child looooooong ago and with very little recollection as to how the story went. Sigh welp I've had time to adjust to this strange world and lucky or unlucky in this case I have made friends with the two main characters as far as my memory serves. Well, for now, Mandy has asked me to accompany her to Billy's house and for some reason, something tells me it's not gonna be a normal visit. Welp, here we go lads!

It all began with a Hamster

I sighed as it was all I could really do at this point. Mandy just fried one of billy's army men toys with her magnifying glass. Honestly, it was at times like this I question how these two ever became friends and now she just fried the baby army man Billy bought not two days ago, just great.

"How are you today Mandy? Alex?" Mandy Responded with her usual stare as far as I could tell and I decided to give a simple shrug in response. What can i say it's been an uneventful evening.

"You will take me to see Mr. Snuggles."

"Mr. Snuggles?"

Billy seemed confused with Mandy's demand and to be honest I don't blame him. The kids got a few working brains cells as it is.

"Oh, it's his tenth birthday today!" Billy realized excitingly, "That's like a jillion in hamster years." He whispered to us before making his way to his front door.

"You should really remember simple things like this Billy' i stated as we made our way into his house and up the stairs. A few seconds later we were now in billy's room where we could now see Mr. Snuggles in all of his glory and let me tell ya he's not looking too good.

"He looks like he's about ready to kick the bucket," Mandy stated with some concern in her voice. And yeah I have to agree, I can see him huffing and puffing from back here. Not even that far away just within touching distance of his glass box.

"Hey, Mr. Snuggles Happy Birthday!" Billy declared while poking aggressively on his glass box, "Hey wanna see him do a trick?"

"No" was our simple reply but Billy took him out anyway.

"Mr. Snuggles kiss kiss."

Mr. Snuggles let loose some snarls and what was obvious physical anger show itself before it did the unthinkable. It went right for billy's nose and comped onto it. Needless to say, me and Mandy was flabbergasted.

"Good boy!" Billy proudly stated before literally ripping him off and putting him back in the glass box.

"That was more of a bite than a kiss Billy" I stated

"It's how he really shows his love!"

"Well looks like all that love tired him out" Mandy pointed out as Mr. Snuggles was heaving and wheezing more aggressive. Honestly, it made me I could express my worry a sudden sound caused us all to turn around and see what was a ball of green like energy start to form around it.

I could feel the immense power that emitted from this green source. My body was put on guard I was ready to spring into action if need be. Dammit, this chill is making my body lock up! I focused what little control I had left to step forward only to shot myself into the wall as the force weakened and plummeted to the floor creating this sort of green vortex.

"Gah!" I screamed as I flew right into the vortex and straight into the wall. Dammit, that hurt! "Dammit, that hurt!" I was now face down with my back towards the wall.

"What's that?" Billy asked

Mandy moved towards and did something unbelievable! She stuck her finger in it!

"Hey don't do that!" I yelled.

"Quiet. You already jumped into it already anyways." She then put her finger in her mouth with the strange green substance.

"HEY!"

"Shutup. It seems to be a swirling vortex of pure evil coming out of your floor Billy."

"AND YOU STICK IT IN YOUR MOUTH!" i yelled as i straightened myself. I was about to say more but Mandy wasn't having it. She gave me that look! The look that clearly promised very very bad things if i didn't claim it. It was hard i tell you it was very hard to clamp my teeth close and have them stay that way. My only resort was to give her a dissatisfied look and a "hmph" her way before making my way over to them

Clearly satisfied she continued her observation of the vortex of evil. Well she didn't get far as it suddenly pulled down into itself and seemed to form into something else, something more… sinister.

I felt it again only this time i was prepared. The Vortex on the floor seemed to shake and ooze upward seemingly forming some strange type of figure. It slithered its way towards Mr. Snuggles and loomed over him. It was after Mr. Snuggles?

"OH OH IT'S SANTA CLAUS ITS SANTA CLAUS!" Billy yelled

The heavy atmosphere disappeared completely. Leave it to billy to ignore the mood and do whatever he wants.

"Thats not Santa you stooge." she chastised him, "That's the Grim Reaper"

Mandy was correct from the far reaches of my memory this was indeed in fact the Grim Reaper in all his death and suffering.

"Do i still get presents?"

"Goddammit Billy…" i sighed.

The Reaper clearly didn't know how to properly answer Billy's question as far as his facial structure let on and surprisingly it's very emotive.

"Uh… um… well no. I'm here for the hamster." The reaper stated as he held him in his hand.

"You brought presents for Mr. Snuggles!" Billy excitingly squealed as he jumped and clinged onto the robe of Mr. Reaper. I was afraid Billy might have died at that moment.

"No. I'm taking him away." He pushed Billy off with the opposite end of his scythe causing him to fall flat on his back. Only for billy to hop right back onto his feet seemingly undaunted by the current events.

'To the north pole!?"

I slammed my palm into my face so hard a loud smack was heard and seemed to gather everyone's attention. Welp no time like the pressnt.

"Listen Billy." I started as i grabbed him by the shoulders, "What our pal Mr. Reaper here is trying to get at is that it's time for Mr Snuggles to go night night. You following me here?" Billy nodded, "So you 100% Understand the situation?" Billy nodded faster. "Okay good" i sighed as i let go of billy's shoulders.

"So you're taking him to a slumber party?"

I give up! Mr Snuggles also used this opportunity to bite Mr. Reapers had causing him a lot of pain and his escape into billy's shirt… goddammit Billy.

"Look I'll put it simply kid it's "Curtains" for Mr. Snuggles" Mr. Reaper stated evilly.

"You got him curtains?" was Billy's perfect reply.

Clearly i wasn't so for the Grim Reaper as he held his head clearly with some sort of headache for him. I Honestly feel for the guy.

"Youll have to forgive Billy… he's and idiot." Mandy elaborated for our dear guest.

"Look aren't you three afraid of me?" He asked followed by some "Scary" noises, "Oh come on i'm a walking skeleton for crying out loud! Isn't that scary?!"

"Hey can i see your hockey stick?" Billy ignored everything he said as he swiped the Grim Reaper's scythe right from his hands. He proceeded to play golf of all things and after calling it a hockey stick. "Fore!" A quick swipe and he nailed the Grim reaper right in the head with one of his robot toys.

Clearly whatever is going on i could determine one absolute thing. This Mr. Reaper was a pushover. Already i can see mandy is already getting him to play into her hands as they talk over something over tea. Seeing as that's not my department i opted to keep billy from being well… billy. It only took him a few seconds and he already destroyed most of his furniture… and now that table. I made my way over catching the last bit of conversation

"We will play a game with you. If you win you get to have Mr. Snuggles however if we win we keep Mr. Snuggles."

"Hahahahaha" Mr. Reaper started to laugh at Mandy's bold challenge. "I love games and i never lose." He stated Proudly.

"Neither do i." Mandy retorted. Clearly it struck a nerve with him.

"Hmmm well if you win. Which you won't! I'll be your bestest friend forever." He tore into the air as he laughed maniacally clearly showing how cocky he felt with that statement. "Follow me." were his simple words before we were all pulled into the rip.

"I believe the purpose of insides is to stay inside, oh boy." I wobbled a bit as i got my bearings.

"Welcome to limbo where we will play, you guessed it limbo!" He tapped into the ground turning it into a pole where there was some skulls placed further away were we were gonna play limbo. "It's my favorite and best! Game." He placed the pole on the top teeth. "How low can you go?" He demonstrated by completely going at a 90 degree angle giving off his laugh again while doing it. "Your turn. Hahahahaha!"

Mandly simply walked under it as it was way taller than her… no words can explain the sheer stupidity of this situation. We're playing limbo with DEATH ITSELF!

"Sigh… I'll take dealing with my dad then doing this." i mumbled.

"I think we need to make a slight adjustment." Grim Said placing the bat halfway down. "Your turn." he pointed to billy again doing his "I'm so great and evil" laugh. It was completely stopped as billy perfectly made it through without a struggle. Grim frustrated placed the pole almost all the way down and then set his eyes on… me! "Your turn now"

"It's practically touching the floor you cheater!"

"Ah ah ah." He waved his finger "You must attempt it or else if I make this one it's my win! HAAHAHAHAHA"

"Grrrrr fine! I'll do it" Not like I have a choice. I made my way a few distance away from the pole. I focused my breathing remembering only the core principles my dad has taught/beaten into me. "Image is key… breath is key… a serene and calm heart is key!" I dashed my way towards the pole clearly shocking grim as i can see the slow smile forming on that bone face of his. Time to wipe that grin off his face! "Tempest style! Windless Grace!" Pushing all the air out of my body i focused on the image of paper as i steeled my heart for the pain. I performed a sliding tackle keeping the distance in check so no debris would knock the pole. "Hit!" I started with the last of my breath.

"That was over the top don't you think Alex."

My only answer to that… was to pass out.

I wrote this last night with no sleep for the past two days and i think it shows everywhere especially the end haha! Well i just got into Kenichi Historys Strongest Disciple again and then started watching this show as well (i know mixed bag right XD) So i was like yeah i can add a character with Martial arts into here of course! I'M A GENIUS! Now i do have a plan somewhat and not all episodes will be done because Alex won't need to be there for all of them plus as you can see the start took wayyyyy longer than i thought lol also i might fuk up info and change things to fit my whims of deemed right. Slow start so not a lot of changes can be made as this chapter can testify. Anyways thx for reading and wait for next chapter

Ka chow!
