'How many months has it been?' I thought, having been buried under a lot of rubble. I had a spike going through my neck, my upper body was pinned down from rocks and my legs were under the dirt. The expedition I had tracked, killed a few others or treasure. I killed all six hundred of them, with me getting trapped at the same time. So many explosions, so many bullets, so little time. My crown, long since destroyed from the explosions.

I could hear voices every now and then, but the spike prevented me from speaking. I could feel the movement, but I could not move. When I hungered, I fed from the forest around me. I went days without food and water, feeling the insanity building up inside me. Clawing from the inside of my skin to destroy me from the inside out.

Seeing fingers going through the rocks, I saw yellow fingers reaching through the rock. Only one mutant I knew had this power, the power to phase through anything. Getting grabbed by my collar, I was then lifted up out of the rocks. It took a while, but I was finally lifted out of the rocks.

"Here we go!" She said, pulling me completely out of the rocks and laying me down. I rolled over and spat up a huge wad of blood that had built up over the months, followed by my throat healing. "Gross!" She said, jumping up in disgust.

"Good to see you too, Kitty." I said, looking up at her and reaching up, pulling a chunk of the crown out of my face and tossing it aside. "How have you been?" I asked, standing up a she crossed her arms.

"Well, I was on my way to Japan when my plane crashed." She said, looking off in the distance. "Pilot had a heart attack." She said, looking back at me. "Then I heard rumors of a angered god feeding off of the forest from the locals, and when I investigated, I found bodies littered around and knew that you were here because of this crown piece." She said, showing me the half crown.

"Neat." I said, taking it from her and tossing it behind me. "I'm hungry for real food, arnt you?" I asked, with her nodding her head.

"Ya, I'm tired of bug soup." She said, making me laugh at her. "ITS NOT FUNNY, ITS DISGUSTING?!" She yelled, with me grabbing her as I took my Decay form and started flying off into the distance, heading in the direction of Japan to get us out of there.

Three weeks later

"The person you sent in, are you sure that he saw a wild beast?" Kitty asked as I stood just behind her, looking board. She was in a normal suit, while I was dressed a bit more normal. I wore a black coat with a white button up shirt with black pants. She wore a blue over shirt with a white button up shirt and blue pants, her hair done in a pony tail. My hair had gotten longer, going down to my shoulders.

'The way things sound, it could be Rahne, seeing as she, Sam and Roberto, as well as another mutant who I don't know, went missing a week after I died.' I thought, looking at Kitty, who nodded her head as she was thinking the same thing. 'But at the same time, the description doesn't match, its completely off.' I thought, thinking about it.

A group had formed here in Japan after a man survived an attack. He brings back footage of him and his friends almost getting killed, but not everyone sees the same thing. They see the sky, or them getting bombed, shot and nearly killed him. Then there is the rumors and body's that are showing up left and right, all members of this guys church, so to speak.

"You look like you've started to put everything together, care to fill me in?" The detective we were talking to asked, with me looking at them.

"He's not on the case, he's just here to make sure that everything goes the way its supposed to." Kitty said, hitting me in the back, with me looking down at her. "Still, I'm going to need to get a one on one with this person to find out more." She said, with the detective nodding and leading the way, with us following.

'Tenchi, Ugaki.' I thought, placing my hands behind my back as I gave followed after them, grinning. 'I cant wait to meet the one whos playing God.' I thought, laughing inside.

Later

Only the two of us are allowed to enter, and that's just how it went. Following after the followers, they led us to a large room, with me recognizing it as the worship room. Walking across the water stones, we reached the center, where the one known as Ugaki waited for us. "So, the X-Men sent you two." He said, with Kitty looking at me. The X-Men had became a well known organization to settle maters for piece. But things started getting hazy ever since the thing with Rogue in LA.

"Not me!" I said, smiling at him as I pointed at my face with a large grin and wide eyes. "I am the one who was sent from Lady Death herself, just to make sure that everything isn't what it seems to be. After all, I've already figured you out." I said, with him narrowing his eyes. "Tell me, Kitty." I said, looking at her as she looked at me in confusion. "What do you see?" I asked, confusing her even more.

"I see a injured man standing across from me." She said, with me nodding.

"Looks just like that picture, doesn't it?" I asked, with her nodding. "Want to know what I see?" I asked, confusing her. "I see a man with long black hair and similar clothing to mine." I said, looking back at them as they flinched once I said that. "You're a mutant who has the power of word." I said, making him laugh.

"So, you have the power to see reality, when in fact, my word is reality." He said, with me shrugging.

"Sorry, but you're far off." I said, looking around the room and then back at him. "I'm neither Mutant nor human, I'm something beyond the both of them." I said, with Kitty crossing her arms. "I'm Deaths Champion, I'm Decay." I said, with him holding his hand out to me.

"You are nothing but a child." He said, with me hearing Kitty gasp.

Turning around, I saw her looking down at my feet. "You're so cute?!" She yelled, with me laughing.

"Words of Illusions." I said, turning back to the man. "Well then, looks like I was right, anyone you speak to will see what you want them to see." I said, stepping forward, grinning even more. "Where was it that you told everyone where you had gotten attacked at? Oh, right, the Zhangjiajie Forest in China. What was it that you were doing there? Right, you weren't because everything happened four months ago, the same time I was there killing a bunch of murderers, poachers and thieves." I said, with his followers grabbing me as I got in his face. Spinning around, I tossed them off me, with me grabbing his head. "You just don't see the picture, do you?" I said, his eyes wide in fear. "I am your death! I said, spinning his head around and breaking it.

Kitty screamed, with me looking at her, with me knowing what she was screaming about. The body's of everyone who he had killed. There was no water, but a pool of blood. "What the hell is this?" She asked, freaking out.

"This is reality, mutants are just as bad as humans. Its my right, my job, to correct their mistakes." I said, walking over to her. "I'm hungry, lets go eat." I said, skipping past her, with her following me.

Later

"You found all of them in the main room, with their blood as the water, their body's just sitting there and you killed Ugaki." The detective said, with me nodding my head as I ate, with Kitty sitting next to me. "So, there was never a monster, but illusions that Ugaki used to kill people." He said, with me nodding.

"A wired mutant he was, but balance has been restored!" I said, with him looking at me weirdly.

"He works for the Goddess of Death and once she tells him that there's a murder that wasn't supposed to happen, he's supposed to go out and kill them as punishment. He also cant die." Kitty said, looking at me with a blank expression.

"I swear, he will be the death of us." The detective said, drinking his saki as I laughed at him.
