Here is chapter two!
And here are a few reviews I want to answer quick:
AnonyMoose94: Wow that IS A coincidence. And it is good to see one of my loyal readers checking out my other stories as well. Thank you man.
animefan29: Junior is still jealous about that. Minnie, in this time frame, dragged NargleJr away all the timke to do things she wanted when she was trying to join in with him and Junior. She wanted to join in, but got too me, I got a younger sister and when we where kids she did that kinda stuff by accident a few times.
Oh! And this is something I should say, which I had forgotten to say before. This fic is co-written by Yugiohfan163

Grim Tales My Way
Chapter 2: The Love of Evil and Death
The four young kids sat there, ready to start the story
"Hem hem hem." Junior coughed before he started reading in an impersonation of his dad "I... am Death. The Grim Reaper. And... I have lost to children. Dat itself sounds silly and foolish, but it's da truth. And to think, it all began over a game of limbo. But I'm getting a BIT ahead of myself here. I was once the most feared creature in the underworld. That position is now held by my beautiful wife Mandy. Ah Mandy... she has been a large factor of my after live. When she was a child, I went to collect the soul of a hamster from a boy called Billy. And boy was he stupid. He'd make most cavemen I've met look like Albert Einstein. And it seemed like Mandy hung out with him to use that stupidity to her advantage or enjoyment. Probably both to be honest. I was forced to do battle for the hamsters soul, by Mandy's challenge, in a game of Limbo. And... I lost. So I was forced to be their 'best friend forever'... a fact I hated. And it made Mandy's normally emotionless or angry face twist into a grin."
"Wait... so the rumors where true?!" Lock gasped
"The Grim Reaper... a servant of human children?" Bareel gaped
"So uncool." Shock muttered, only to get a glair from Junior that made them all shut up
"Sorry." they all muttered
"During my stay with them, we encountered all kinds of crazy adventures, somehow always making it out alive. And those adventures... they felt like they would never end. Which I was both happy and sad about. But I knew that was a stupid thought. Everything dies. Everything has it's time. And eventually, so would this. One day, I found myself adding sand to their hourglasses. Extending their lives. t seemed silly. Death himself trying to keep two kids alive for this long. And I admit, it did seem silly. But he just couldn't help it. And then... Mandy started asking hard questions..."
*flashback*
It was a bright, sunny day in Endsville. It was on this day we see Mandy and Billy grabbing some ice cream with Grim buying of course.
"Grim?" Mandy asked, taking a Strawberry ice-cream cone from the Grim Reaper as Billy ran around screaming about 'Brain Freeze' as he held large chunks of ice in his mouth
"What is it?" he responded.
"I've been doing some thinking."
"And?"
"I was thinking... we've been through a lot. Haven't we?"
"... more than I care to recall." Grim muttered"And we've been through a lot of deadly events recently."
"A few, yes."
"Sixteen in the last two 'n a half weeks to be precise."
"What's your point?" he asked.
"Grim. I had a nail shoved through my head the other day." Mandy dead-paned
"You did have a portal between your ears last Thursday I believe."
"There was no portal Grim."
"Blame it on the spoon."
"Spoon? There was no spoon. Grim, be serious. Is it my time?"
"Eh?"
"My time, Grim, don't play stupid with me." warned Mandy with a dark shadow behind her.
"What in heck are you talking about? What would ever posses you to say such a ting?"
"We are getting ripped apart more and more. And not magically. Savage wounds, and terrible pain."
"Oh..well, no trouble, 'den, since we're all alive and everything is hunk-ee-do-ry!"
Mandy looked deep into my eye sockets before walking away. I sighed, looking down sadly
*flashback end*
"Mandy did not speak to me for the rest of the day. And she had continued to ask me those questions for the rest of the week until... one day..."
*flashback*
I was trying to relax by the pull when Mandy started bugging me.
"Grim. We need to talk."
"Not now Mandy. I'm simply not in the moo..."
Mandy threw a wire around my neck, ripping my skull around wildly before slamming it into my body "Now you are." She growled before she stormed off
"For a hundred 'tirty-five dollars, dat better be some darn good stuff. What is it?" I asked taking the cucumber slices off my face.
"Show me my hourglass."
"Why da hell would you want that?"
"Because.""No Mandy. No mortal should know how much time they 'ave lef..."
"Grim. Just show me." She glared. I was stunned at the sudden demand and had no other option but to do what she said. So I showed her the ago"Just as I thought?" Mandy hummed"Happy?""Am I ever?" Mandy countered"Was dat a trick question?"
"So how long has it been empty?" she asked holding the hourglass.
"... a... a while." I muttered. I had forgotten to refill it last week and...
"So, why haven't you claimed my soul yet?" she asked.
"I... er... you see..." I muttered, unsure how to answer that
"Don't tell me it's something sappy like friendship. You never wanted to be our friend in the first place." remarked Mandy walking into the house.
"No."
"So what's the excuse?"
"I'm a man of my word. I said I would be your friend forever."
"Wow Grim. You've truly lost it. Talk about falling to the lowest level of worthless." she remarked.
"DO NOT ANGER ME CHILD!" He roared in anger, fire blazing around him
"Or what? You'll kill me? Don't make me laugh Grim. You're DEATH Grim." Mandy glared, her voice sounding almost breathy as she said that "You are letting a TEN YEAR OLD GIRL dictate your life. Heck, you don't even have the guts to KILL me."
"Honestly, it's just not your to... w... what are you doing Mandy?"
"What's it look like, bonehead?" responded Mandy as the knife she had grabbed soon sliced through her neck, causing her eyes to widen and blood to spray out.
"MAAAANDDDYYY!" I screamed, feeling something in my soul act strangely to the sight. Amazingly though, the blood began to quickly stop and Mandy seemed to still moving.
She brought her hand to her neck as the wound slowly healed "Interesting. It seems I'm immortal."
"Not exactly. You just won't die until I say so." I explained as I knelt next to her
"TAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"What about stupid?" asked Mandy as a streaking Billy ran into the kitchen.
"You mean Billy? That is the confusing thing." I said before I pulled out the strangest hourglass ever. There where lots of large bumps and extra passages and many other things, making it very confusing to tell where it starts and where it ends. But there WAS still sand in it "Considering you and Billy are tied together by the threads of fate, he will most likely die slightly before or after you do."
"Take me home Grim. I need to freshen up." ordered Mandy, looking down at her bloodied one-peace swimsuit that looked like her normal dress.
"Okay." I nodded, pulling out my scythe and opening a portal to her room before they passed through. They were soon in Mandy's room where she went behind the folded cover and began to change."So when are you gonna go though with it?" she asked.
I'll get to it when I am good and ready!" I snapped
Behind the curtain, Mandy had put on a variation of her old dress. However, instead of pink it was black. She also let her hair down, now looking like a downwards crescent moon. And, what I will not know for many years to come, she saw a glimpse of her future-self in the mirror. Long flowing hair, dress, red eyes and all.
"And when will that be?"
"Why must you constantly ask me such questions?"
"The sooner I get to hell, the sooner I can take over. That IS where I'm going right?" Mandy asked, looking at her future-self. When Mandy spoke to me about it years later she said she forced Clockwork to make the link and she did it was her making sure her past self knew where she would be going and where, although subconsciously, who would 'steal her small black heart'. Did I mention she was drunk when she told me dis? Ah I love dat woman.
"Well... yea I guess..."
"What's the difference between now and twenty years?"
What was the difference? Why was I holding back? I couldn't keep refilling her hourglass forever? Eventually, people would start getting suspicious.
"Grimmmmmmm." Mandy growled in annoyance
"We'll... we'll talk later Mandy. I've got a lot of chores to do. Maybe while Billy is making a fool of himself again?"
"I just want to tell you something in case you're afraid of doing the job." Mandy said turning around and looking at Grim.
"And dat is?"
"You are no longer my friend. Our deal is off." Mandy said, looking me dead in the eye-sockets "You can't be who you are suppose to be like this." I know I am the only one who really understands Mandy. Her parents are scared of her, Billy is brainless and I spend most of my time with her. That is why... I knew she was sad and that inside this WAS causing her some pain "You are DEATH. Go out and go on a killing spree."
"Mandy... I... it... it doesn't matter. Bet or not, you are still my friend." I argued back after taking several seconds to calm myself and get my thoughts working properly
"Get outta here." Mandy hissed, and suddenly I felt like an animal. And this was some Disney-esk BS scene
"What about Billy?" I squeaked after a few seconds
"He won't even notice you're gone." she replied.
I hung my head a bit and walked through another portal, leaving Mandy's services...
*flashback end*
"And she wasn't wrong. Billy didn't noticed that I was gone. A simple broom with a black cloak was enough to fool him. And, if that broom had a soul, it would beg me to kill it. And so, time passed. Because of his stupidity, Billy was technically sin less. So less than a year after Mandy's glass ran out, Billy entered the golden gates of Heaven... and he was kicked out less than a week later when everyone had enough with his stupidity, the fool kicked into purgatory. We tried sending him to Heck, but everyone soon learned to fear his stupidity. So it seemed like we would continue to have adventures like we use to. But it was different with Mandy. She had created a neighborhood watch. Well... more like a Nazi force. And she ruled the neighborhood. And I expected no less, I was actually very proud. She would sometimes see me on the job and she would ask the same questions, not that I minded. It was just great to see her again. She would ask 'Has Billy escaped again' and... 'Is it time'? I would just reply with 'Soon.' Although, I REALLY got to spend some time with her years later. After a while, I had finally saw how much Mandy had grown up...
*flashback*
I slowly crept from a portal, grinning as I walked towards a hamster cage. This was nice and easy, I am happy about that. Hamsters always made me think back to...
"Grim?" A female voice asked behind me, and I froze. And slowly turned around. If I had eyeballs, they would have shoot out of my head
Standing before me was none other than a teenage Mandy with a developed body that would turn heads, like me. She seemed to have a body sculpted from pure marble as she had curves in all the right places and had a pair of breasts that seemed the perfect size and shape. Did I also forget to mention she had on purple lingerie. She looked at me with those blue eyes being wide in shock. I noticed her peach skin was slightly wet, I am guessing from a recent shower as her hair was also wet, and it was also slightly redder as she seemed to have a full body blush
"M... Mandy?!" I gasped. She bite her lip for a second as I saw her rub her thighs together for a second
"W... Why are you here, Bonehead?" she asked, stuttering as she flushed a bit "T... To see me? Is it time?"
"... Hamster..." I said, pointing to said pet
I SWEAR she pouted for a second. And Mandy told me years later, from a childish crush she gained from our time apart, that she was upset that he 'Hadn't come to see HER and she felt jealous and disappointed'. No, seriously. She told me dat... she was drunk again.
But anyway, teen Mandy just stood there was an awkward silence surrounded us before she gained a smile and began to walk towards me "I'm happy to see you, Grim." purred Mandy with what sounded like lust of all things in her tone just before she tackled me and we landed on her bed.
"M... Mandy?! W... What are you doing?" I had gasped, Mandy having my hands pinned on the bed as she hovered over me, her now longer hair fanning along her back and some of it draping onto my shoulders
"Quiet, bonehead." she whispered seductively as her face got closer to mine, I could feel the hormones rolling off her and I realized what was going on with Mandy. Fucking Puberty! The hormonal overload, the boost in her... physical appearance. Plus, this was MANDY! If ANYTHING in the UNIVERSE could even HOPE to get her horny, it would be incredibly powerful beings and death. So of COURSE
That was the stepping stone to a crazy night that I hadn't thought would happen, but didn't regret.
It was a wild, crazy night. I had never known that Mandy had been holding back such a crazy, wild side to her that I honestly REALLY appropriated. Her skin was so soft, her pants and moans where like music to the ears that I did not have.
I didn't even notice the sun had risen until her alarm clock rang beside my head. I raised my arm and slammed it down on the clock, laying rib-cage down. My mind was still foggy from the night and early morning, slowly noticing the soft peach arm wrapped around the lower half of my ribcage. I was stunned that a beauty like her could look like an angel, yet still have the soul of a demon underneath that skin. I lifted my hand up slowly, and brushed her cheek softly and that seemed to cause her to slowly stir awake as her eyes slowly opened.
And staring into her blue eyes, I felt what I had for my soul twinge. And all of my time with Mandy flashed before my eye-sockets. From when she challenged me to that limbo contest, and to now. In a flash I had realized something I didn't want to admit.I didn't see her as a mere child. I had begun to see her as a grown woman who could instill great fear into anyone, myself included. The rage and anger, the hate and power. The pure darkness. Oh... so beautiful. More beautiful than anything I had ever seen. More than a million tortured souls. No, a BILLION tortured souls. Oh... oh no... oh crap... I.. I have...
"Grim." came her voice.
"Yea Mandy?" I asked, my thoughts still swirling in my head
"We won't discuss what happened last night. Got it?" she glared into my eye sockets to get her point across.
"G... Got it." I muttered in shock and fear
"Good." she muttered before holding me tighter to her.
"... fancy a game of limbo before I go?" I joked after a second, wrapping an arm around her. Mandy slapped me head, but I did notice a tiny smirk she had on her face. An hour later Mandy had put her underwear back on, and I had put my cloak on once again, before walking over to the Hamster and pulled the soul out of it
Mandy watched out of the corner of her eye and, years later, she told me that at that moment she decided that she wouldn't sleep with anyone else. Grim had several traits she would never find again in any other man. The pure power of death, no matter how powerful any other guy was like a gnat compared to the power of life and death. And, I am Death himself. She was drunk again when she told me this, its amazing how she gets when she has too much wine.
And I then walked through a portal, this being the last time I see her for more than a few seconds at a time. Because I could not bare being around her for too long. Because, I had fallen in love with her...
*flashback over*
"Oh how romantic!" Shock interrupted
"Wait, it's not over yet." said Junior continuing the reading. "Mandy surprised me a bit, for she never took advantage of her immortality for a LONG time. Some said she was cursed, although she was technically. And eventually, her left wing politics soon reached new levels and she easily became mayor. That's when I chose to arrive in a human form I had created years ago. To fulfill a promise I had given her a few weeks ago. She eventually DID take advantage of her immortality. Becoming an assassin. Killer by night, mayor by day. And this caused me to see her after every job she did, and I tried my best to not look at her every time. In fact, I never spoke to her much. She would always ask if it was her time, except I never spoke to her. Eventually she lost patience...
*flashback*
I appeared from a portal, the scythe I am famous for held tightly in my hand. Looking around I saw a beautiful sight. Mandy standing there with smoking sub-machine guns in her hand, body's laying all over the floor and blood splattered all over the place. Mandy's long blonde hair and beautiful face splattered by shinning red blood, She noticed me, but didn't say anything and continued on her job so I also got to work, collecting the souls of those she killed as I saw her basically DANCING around her personal battlefield. Flipping, spinning and blasting. She was beautiful, an angelic demon. A monster, yet a peace of art. An ultimate oxymoron.
And within minutes, she was finished and lowered her gun.
"Is it time yet?" Mandy asked. I ignored her. "Grim. Is. It. Time?" Again, I ignored her. She was clearly getting time she got me in a headlock thanks to her training. "GRIM! Is. It. Time. Yet." she spoke each word softer while gripping my head tighter, threatening to try and shatter it.
And I couldn't help but smile, my hood hiding it "You know... you're cute when you're mad." I shot, catching her off guard
Mandy didn't expect a compliment, and I swear by all the levels of hell I saw her with a pink tint around her cheeks. She loosened her grip and and I slid out "I am not cute." I heard her mutter
I just smiled at her as she returned to the job at hand. "Three weeks." I said after several seconds, catching her attention
"What?" she turned to me, a look of confusion in her blue eyes
"In three weeks I will appear to you as Joe Black." I said "I will ask you a question. That will determine what I do with you."
Mandy didn't say anything. Whether it was because of the shock; being immortal for years and then suddenly finding out how little time she has left would be a big one, or because she had a job to finish. Either way, she didn't seem like she wanted to keep talking. So I looked her up and down, taking in her form. Her hair had gotten longer since last time and her curved body was hugged in a combat special suit that protected her while also being light enough to not hinder her movement. Her combat suit was a grey material with several red straps, red fingerless gloves and on her chest was an image of a light grey skull. But not any skull... it was MY skull!
I couldn't help but smile when I said that. "You should probably say good bye to your boyfriend." I shrugged, bluffing
"I don't have a boyfriend Grim." Mandy deadpanned
"Oh? Girlfriend?"
"No." Mandy glared lightly
"Fiance? Husband? Wife?"
"Do you want me to blow your head up?" she asked pointing her weapon at me.
"Sore subject?" I asked, now feeling sad for her suddenly. She didn't reply and merely turned her back on me. "Mandy?" I whispered softly, being her friend again
"See you in three weeks Grim." Mandy said simply as she walked away
I didn't try to stop her and merely sighed before opening a portal and walking through it.
*three weeks later*
Three weeks later Mandy was sitting in her office when a grown man with blonde hair and blue eyes, a man who COULD pass as her twin, with a black suit walking into the her office and up to her desk. This was Joe Black.
"Mandy?" He asked her, silently amazed by how she looked in her suit. Her white button-up blouse hugged her chest more than it needed to, her black jacket being cut enough to not make any difference and her legs with that skirt and those heels... Oh hubba.
"Yes?" responded Mandy looking the man over. 'This must be Joe.'
"Mandy we have know each other for a long time now and..." the man named Joe was now blushing as he looked at his feet
"And?" replied Mandy who didn't like it when people beat around the bush.
Joe then dropped to one knee, pulling out a red box. And Mandy froze. "Will you marry me?" asked Joe getting right to the point. And he opened the box, revealing a gold ring with a large flat cut diamond in the shape of my skull. The ring cost $3,467. Mandy's expression? Priceless.
"What did you say?" she asked.
"Would you, Mandy: the living embodiment of evil, marry me?" Joe asked again, and I know Mandy was blushing lightly even if it was barely noticeable. But she quickly fought it down and glared at him
"Don't give me that wishy-washy mamby-pamby make you a better person kind of thing." scoffed Mandy.
"No. Far from it." Joe muttered as he stood up and grabbed Mandy's shoulders tightly, shadows falling over his eyes "You have driven me insane! Humiliated me! I envy the dark aura that is excluded through every pore of your body!You have driven me to loathing, hatred, and dread. And you don't make me a better person. You make me a worst being. And because of that..."
"Because of that...?"
"Because of that... you reminded me who I am." Joe glared before he grabbed his face, the skin squishing under his grip, as well as his neck. And he PULLED. The skin ripped from his body like paper, leaving no blood. No gore. The fake skin was dropped to the floor revealing me in all my cloaked glory, my power causing flames and darkness to dance around me "I AM! THE GRIM REAPER! You have ten seconds to make up your mind before I kill you." warned Grim.
"Grim..." Mandy muttered in shock, trembling for half a second. I could have SWORN I saw her rubbing her thighs together briefly
Ten seconds.
It sounded short, but to me it felt like an eternity as Mandy looked away with a thoughtful expression on her face.
Nine seconds had passed as I sharpened my scythe, nearing that final second. And I couldn't help it. "Five seconds left Mandy." I warned, giving her more time
"Will I turn into a hideous creature the likes of which the world has never seen, like before?" Mandy asked, putting a cigarette into her mouth
"No, you are already scary enough as is." I replied. 'Plus, I would not want you to loose that spectacular beauty.' I had then thought to myself as she lit the cigarette and took a few small drags of it "Tree, two...Mandy?"
Mandy just stood there, continuing smoking "I'm thinking." she said with her eyes now closed
"Oh for the love of..ONE!" I yelled bringing my scythe towards her.
"I accept." she said, as if she had been waiting for me to say that with her eyes still closed uncaring for what was going on around her. It was so close. By the time I stopped my swing, momentum can be a bitch, with the tip of the blade inches from her heart After taking my blade away, she reached down and began to look through a magazine with Hawaii on the cover. he then pressed a button on her intercom and spoke calmly "Book me in for the honeymoon sweet for the 626 Ohana Hotel, for tomorrow." she ordered
"Yes mam." her secretary instantly answered
"Wha..." I gaped
"Our honeymoon." she answered without turning around.
"Honeymoon?"
"Yes. Is that a problem?" she turned towards me with a look that dared me to say something.
"...What about the wedding?" I asked lamely
"You have the ring. And I said I accept. What else do we need?" asked Mandy taking a drag from her cigarette.
"Chapel, preparations, dress." I muttered, still shocked "You said yes?"
"Does this answer your question?" she threw the cigarette away and pulled me to her where our lips met in a kiss. I just stood there before pulling her closer.
We soon separated and I joked "So... Vegas for the wedding?"
Count on it." replied Mandy before we moved in for another kiss.
And... well... it seems my display mad her 'exited'... and it was better than I remembered...
*flashback end*
"And then they got married... evil and death... OH! So romantic!" Shock squealed
"Girls." Lock scoffed as he rolled his eyes
"This thing is also a makeshift photo-album Dad made." Junior grinned
"Hubba hubba! Is that your mom?" asked Barrel pointing to a pic of Mandy wearing a small pink colored robe that showed off her legs and partially her breasts. In the picture she was laying on a bed, on her side as she read a magazine, although she was looking up with a look that looked like a cross between bordom and seduction with her hair covering one of her eyes. And next to the picture where words written in red ink reading 'This is one of my most prized possessions. I never thought Mandy could look more beautiful but... wow'
Barrel was then slammed around the dead hard by Shock
'This is our new home.' the pic was of a large head with horns and a castle right on top of it.
"Wow... you live in a CASTLE?! AWESOME!" Lock cheered
'My goodness, my gracious. When will this day be done? Will I have a boy or will I have a son?' this showed Grim pacing in front of an abortion room
"What's this?" Shock asked in confusion
"Hmmm, I'm not really sure what this one's about..." remarked Junior But check out the other pa..." Junior continued before his eye sockets widened. It was a picture of himself as a baby. 'Crap. I knew I forgot about something.' It showed Junior as a baby with a blue binkie in his mouth and with a small strand of his hair.
The three child monsters burst out laughing for a while, before finally calming down
"Who's that?" the question was directed at a figure with a white face that was in a wheelchair with baby Junior sitting on his lap.
"That's my Great, Great Grandfather John. He went and helped teach a bunch of people to appreciate life. And he's REALLY cool! We went fishing once." Junior explained "And over here are my godparents." said Junior referring to a blue skinned couple. One with a monocle and the other a female eating a sandwich with her feet.
"Wow, they look weird." Barrel laughed
"Hey!" Junior glared, defending his God Parents
"Speaking of that. Did I mention my special godfather?"
"Who?"
"Here! This mu godfather! My Uncle Nargal!" He grinned, showing a picture of said man The man had glowing green eyes as his hair looked to actually be made out of sharp teeth filled mouths with a few tongues. "He's the COOLEST! One of the underworlds greatest fighters!" He gushed "I heard he once fought one hundred demons at once!"
"Isn't that your sister?" Lock asked, the three ignoring him. The pic was of Minnie sucking her thumb while having a pink shirt on with a yellow flower in the middle of it. She also had a pink bow in her hair with the same colored booties on her feet.
"Oh... her. Yea. What about her?" Junior muttered in annoyance
"You REALLY seem to hate her." Shock muttered
"Yea, and why does she talk funny to." Lock added
"That's cause she spends most of her time with Miss Helga."
"Who?"
"You don't know Helga Pataki?! She is the evilest and most ruthless tutor in HELL! AND shes our Private Tutor!" Junior screamed
"Well, your sister CAN'T be as bad as her." Shock muttered
"SHE IS! She is a teachers pet AND a show off! AND A THIEF! She does WHATEVER she can to make my life a living HELL!"
"Your world IS hell man." Lock deadpanned
"You know what I mean! She always has to be the center of attention! Whenever I do ANYTHING she shows me up! I go and get good on the guitar and skate-bored, along with practice break-dancing? She mas mastered THREE classical instruments, becomes a ballerina and stars in a MUSICAL!" Junior ranted, turning a page with a picture of Minnie dressed up for a play
"I remember!" Shock gasped "Your sister sister is that famous child ballerina everyone talks about! THAT'S why she could dance so well!"
"You mean she's a performer?"
"A dancer?"
"A singer?"
"An Actress?"
"A SHOW OFF!" Junior yelled "All I try and do is try and get someone to even SEE me but they can't because she shoves me in the corner and has the spotlights shine on her and only her! I can't even get a 'well done' by anyone but my parents! And worst of all, she took uncle Nergal from me. She just swooped in and now Uncle Nergal just ignores me for her." Junior frowned as he clenched his fists "I didn't do anything wrong! I helped out as much as I could when she was a baby! And what does she do? She pushes me away! Tries to make it seem like I don't exist! Make everyone forget about me! Take all the attention! Even Uncle Nargal who was always there for me! What did I do to deserve THIS?!"
"Sounds to me like you're jealous." remarked Lock with a teasing grin
"I AM NOT!" Junior snarled "I'm... I'm just tired and angry. I try my best and I'm not even fifth best compared to her according to everyone else."
"Why not show everyone what you can really do?" suggested Shock
"Yeah! Like reap a few souls with your powers." chimed in Barrel
"I... kinda don't know how to use them yet." Junior blushed
"What? You mean you haven't figured them out yet?" asked Lock
"Yea. Dad says I'm too young so he won't show me until they show themselves naturally." Junior admitted
"So you can't reap souls or use a scythe like a real reaper?" asked Barrel.
"Not the souls no, and I don't have my own scythe. But Dad taught me how to use one to defend myself. I'm pretty good." Junior boasted
"Yeah, but it seems like you're just a crybaby." a greenish shadow seemed to slowly rise up behind Junior.
"Wha..." Junior began only for a club to hit him in the face, knocking him out
*later*
Junior began to slowly open his eyes and felt his body tied up. "What in the..." he muttered as he looked down at himself. He was strapped down against a table and saw a large figure in front of him. It was the figure he saw in the moon. The one he heard the people of Halloween town talk about.m... Oogie Boogie! "Let me go! You can't do this to me!" he yelled trying to get out of the binds. He then did what he was told to do in this situation. He took a deep breath and yelled "MOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!"
The yell echoed through the building and out towards Halloween Town.
Flying towards the house of Ooggie Boogie, with wings of darkness, was Minnie "I hope mine brother is okay." She whispered with her heart full of worry... when her ears picked up the sound of Junior's scream "Brother!" cried Minnie in shock as she sped up her flight towards the building.
And in Halloween Town, with the Couple of Evil & Death:
They were drinking some of the punch, but heard the distant yell of their son. The queens red eyes narrowed angrily
"Someone's messing with our son." growled Mandy putting the punch down and getting up.
"Time to Reap some ass den." Grim nodded as he copied his wife
"Hey you two, what's wrong?" Jack asked as he walked over to them
"Someone's messin' with our son." replied Grim materializing his scythe.
"Oh. Okay, I'll help." Jack nodded "I'm sure I know who it is to?"
"Lead the way." ordered Mandy as Grim summoned a skeletal horse for them to ride. Grim and Jack both got on one, Mandy getting on the same one as Grim. She got behind her husband, wrapping an arm around him while she pulled out a sub-me chine gun. And the two took off at high-speed
'Don't worry Junior.' Grim thought angrily
'We're on the way kiddo.' Mandy glared at the land in front of them
And there is Chapter 2. And while there no massive changes, there are additional scenes all over the place. I hope you all liked it.
