After continuing down towards the base of Purgatory for what seemed
for him to be hours he finally reached a large chamber, filled with
millions of tiny robots working on a much larger machine. He gaped for a
moment at the monstrous titan that the machines were creating, then
suddenly there was a red flash and before him stood an old man wearing a
hooded-cloak. He tripped back a moment in surprise then regained
equilibrium.
"Who are you?" he inquired to the man.
"Do you not recognize me?" he said with a devilish smirk as he pulled back his hood.
Zane stared for a moment trying to analyze that this was, then it hit him, "Satan! What are you doing down here. And what happened to you?"
"Not that it's any business of yours but I had a bad little run-in with Nox and so I'm down here trying to work up a remedy for this damn old age I obtained." As he finished speaking the red beast appeared from nowhere and Satan lifted his hand up the creature's trunk and grabbed a handful of souls. "With these spare souls I will be able to rejuvenate myself to my former state. Here I will demonstrate." Satan took one of the souls in his hand and swallowed it whole. In that instant Satan looked at least 4 or 5 years younger than he had a minute ago.
"So it was you who has been interrupting my schedule. But what did the Purgatory main frame have to do with any of your plans?" He asked becoming quite curious.
"By corrupting the Main Frame I was able to find a remedy and locate this fine creature called the Soul Reaver. I call him Shreaver for short. Isn't he adorable," he said while patting the monsters gargantuan foaming mouth, "With him I'll be able to be back to normal in no time."
The thought of Satan eating souls appalled Zane, "There must be another way to regain your stolen youth besides stealing my souls."
"Of course but this was the easiest most efficient way of getting it back so I figured I'd just do it this way." Satan said while swallowing yet another soul and becoming a few more years younger.
What was the other way?"
"Oh it was fairly simple. It was to gather some rare ingredients found only in the five elemental regions. Nothing too big, I just chose the souls for convenience."
"Return those souls to me now!" Zane yelled stamping a foot on the ground.
"Very well, but only under on condition."
"What might that be?"
"Simple I thought you could've even guessed by now. I want you to retrieve the five items I need." Satan smirked for a moment as he talked, "They are a flask of frozen lava, a feather from a roc's wing, the never ending flame, the shoe of quake, and the vial of Chaos." As he finished his last word he vanished into thin air.
Great now he had to travel all through Purgatory and the world collecting normal souls and items. What a job the office of Thanatos was. What a job indeed.
"Who are you?" he inquired to the man.
"Do you not recognize me?" he said with a devilish smirk as he pulled back his hood.
