Chapter 2

When he stopped falling he found himself in front of a desk with a black cloaked man with flaming hair behind it.

'Hey Nightmare, I'm your biggest fan I love the work you did, it brought me a load of corpses, but I would have liked souls better.'

Nightmare surveyed his surroundings it would seem he was in the underworld.

'Ah I see Cervantes is closing in on the soul edge.'

'What I thought I had stopped all that evil.'

'No my friend you may have died but the soul edge is still there in that rock. See for yourself.'

Nightmare looked at the flaming TV as he saw the blade there in the rock and Cervantes on the horizon.

'You must send me back.'

'Now hold on a second here you can go through that portal over there but I must warn you...'

But Nightmare wasn't listening he just strode over to the rift and stepped through it.

'Damn that hollow headed knob end I couldn't warn him about what will happen if he stepped through it. Oh well.'

Nightmare felt himself flying upwards as he returned to where he died. As he returned to the spot he died realised why Hades had tried to warn him.

The soul edge had felt Nightmare come back to the world and as it didn't want to absorb its host an evil plot formed in its mind.

A FEW HOURS LATER

Nightmare woke up with a throbbing head ache but he was alive so he let out a laugh that he did live and it wasn't a dream. He looked at his newly formed body but as he looked down at his right hand he screamed. For where his hand used to be there was a clump of flesh around the hilt of the soul edge.

In the underworld

'Damn I tried to warn him this might happen. Man I don't want to get in trouble with god and Zeus again I only just recovered from the burns. I know I'll send him to another universe. Yeah let them deal with him.'

As Nightmare walked he thought as he was stuck like this he might as well have a bit of fun, when a portal appeared around him like the rift he stepped through. He felt his feet leave the ground as he flew forward.

In Jump town

It was one of those nice sunny days in jump town families were picnicking and there were two boys playing marbles on a metal sheet. One boy hit all the other boys marbles out of the ring in one hit. 'Ha I win.'

'No you didn't you cheated,' said the other boy. 'I'm going of to tell mum.'

Before the kid could run off a black portal appeared with lightning around it and as it faded a man was seen crouching down, it was Nightmare.

'Oh crap, now I have to pay royalties thanks a lot ahole,' shouted Nightmare to the narrator.

'How's it my fault, I won't be able to afford it either.'

'You know how hard it is for me to get a job?'

Cheesy flash back music

At the Evil inc. job centre

'So Mr Nightmare what sort of job were you looking for?'

'Anything involving killing people.'

'Well all the assassin and hit man jobs are taken how about working for Hades?'

'Ok but My sword absorbs the souls.'

'No sorry it says in the job description no soul eaters sorry. How about a desk job?'

'You insolent human retch.'

Nightmare got up from his seat and drew his sword stabbing the poor job seeker assistant in the throat spraying blood all over the walls. Nightmare then proceeds to leave.

'See not very good at getting a job.'

'Fine we'll change it.'

Nightmare appears out of the rift. He stands up and looks around. As he does so a one of the kids comes up to him and says 'Cool sword dude.'

Nightmare looks down at him and cocks his head thinks for a moment and slices off the child's head and blood splatters all over him and the floor. The other child craps himself and the shit dribbles down his leg. Nightmare then walks up to the child picks him up and head butts him which breaks the child's neck.

A few yards away Cyborg watches in horror.....
