Walking into the light, I blinked and found myself lying on the ground outside the tree.

Aw man, I just took a shower. And why do I keep wakin up in strange places? At least I was still wearing my new outfit.

War was stood nearby, appearing to be lost in thought.

I got up with a groan and joined him, "So, like your present?"

He just grunted and I took it as a maybe.

"Learn anythin new?" I asked as we made our way back through Eden.

"Abaddon is the Destroyer and the Council betrayed me." He growled out.

"Ouch, that's harsh dude."

"What did you learn from the Tree?"

"Death himself chose me ta come back and I'm supposed ta be the second Eve."

War stopped in his tracks and after a few more paces I stopped to and looked back at him.

"Wazzup?"

"Death chose you?"

"Geez, don't look so surprised. But yeah, that's what I was told."

"Why you?"

"I dunno man. He said that there must've been somethin he liked bout me."

"He?"

"Yeah, the um… the Creator dude."

We resumed our walking, "You spoke to the Creator?"

"Sure, I guess. He offered me the choice o' knowledge er stayin in the Tree. He said I could live on as if the Endwar had never happened."

"Why didn't you?"

Because a lie is a lie no matter how beautiful it is. "Well, I've stuck with ya this far, might as well see it on through. But whatever, it's nice ta be rid o' that annoyance, if only fer a little bit." Who else could I be talking about but the Watcher?

"It is." He agreed.

I smiled up at him when I realized something, "Hey, you're talkin ta me more."

He didn't say anything and kept walking.

"Ugh, you're such a loser." I scoffed.

Anyway, we made it back to and across the bridge where the sprite greeted us with a "Well?"

Whale what?

"Abaddon is the Destroyer." Big Red answered.

"The Archangel?" he asked, sounding pretty surprised.

No, the potato.

"He was betrayed. He is only a pawn in some greater game." War continued, looking between the Stalker and the angel.

The game o' Life?

"You must… bring him peace…" Azzy said.

The Watcher floated back over to the angel, "Peace? Abaddon is the Destroyer! I'm pretty sure peace is off the table."

He kinda has a point… Much as I hate ta admit it.

Azrael just almost sighed, "Did you find any clues among the visions? A way to stop—him?"

"There was a sword—one which broke the seals." The Horseman answered.

Ya mean the one Hammer betrayed his hammer fer? He was such a nice guy, I never pictured 'im fer a weapons cheater.

"The Armageddon Blade. But… after the seals were broken, Abaddon ordered the blade destroyed, on the very anvil of its creation. Horseman… I fear the blade is lost to us now."

Bummer. I want another sammich…

Big Red pulled out a hilt to a sword from Jeebus knows where and held it up, "It will be made again."

Azzy nodded and looked as if was about to say something else but the little bastard butted in, "What else did you see?"

"Abaddon guards the Seventh Seal. He plots with others to storm the White Gates. Uriel will lead the Hellguard against him… and fail."

As much as I really don't like her, Aen's part o' the Hellguard and I do like him so I guess we cain't let 'em die.

"What else did you see?" he asked again.

"I saw nothing else."

Oh, so we're keepin the whole Council betrayin ya thing a secret? Gotcha.

"And you Hope?" Azzy asked me.

I drew my attention away from the many waterfalls, "I ate a sammich and took a shower."

"Ah… I see."

"Useless human." The Watcher muttered.

"At least I'm more useful than you." I sang.

Out of nowhere, a yellow light swallowed one of Azzy's hands, "I will open a gate to return us. Once it is closed, the Garden and its secrets will be lost forever. When you are ready, I will begin." He summoned more of that yellow light and opened up an orange portal on the ground, ready when we were.

"This way, make it quick." The Watcher said as soon as the portal was open.

"Whoa calm down there not-buddy, it's not every day ya get ta spend time in Eden."

"Time is wasting."

"Maybe, but fer once we can relax without worryin bout bein attacked."

War and Azrael stood by and watched this little exchange with something close to amusement. I guess Azzy didn't like the Stalker too much either.

"You're starting to irritate me."

"Startin ta? Damn I really am loosin my touch if it's taken this long."

"Let's go."

I ignored him and turned to the Horseman, unable to keep the grin off my face, "Hey Big Red, did you hear somethin? What bout you Azzy? The wind must be makin me hear annoyin voices."

The angel just chuckled.

The Stalker also turned to War, "Remember who holds the leash, Horseman."

"Tch, just ruin all the fun with a threat why don'tcha? The little bitch cain't take a joke it seems."

Big Red stepped onto the portal and disappeared and I followed him with a shrug.

We ended up in that dimension between dimensions again with Azzy leading the way. Every time we got close to him, he would teleport to another spot farther down the path. Finally we made it out of there.

And ended up back in the Ashlands.

"Seek Ulthane." Azzy said, "He will help you. He MUST help you… Abaddon will have scattered the sword's remains. Hidden them where none that walk in the light could find them."

Great, this should be fun. At least we get ta see Hammer again.

"The Shadow Realm." War said.

"Yes. Use the Mask of Shadows. Assemble the broken blade. Then, return it to the forge of the Black Hammer. When this is done, return to me. Perhaps I can serve you one last time before the end."

"Before the end"? End o' what?

Big Red started to walk off but turned back, "Azrael… at any time you could have left me to my fate. Dead in the Tower. Lost among the ashes of Eden. Why do you help me now? When this is over, the Council will see that justice is done. I will kill Abaddon. And all who schemed with him…"

Ya had ta threaten the one angel who is actually helpin us.

"We all must answer for our sins, Horseman. When the hour of my judgment comes, I will embrace it. Whatever the light decides… Go! Waste no more time on me. And tell Ulthane… he is the last hope of an old fool."

So he's okay with bein killed? Says somethin bout his mental state I suppose. Er the guilt he feels.

"The blade was scattered all over this ruined world. Find the pieces – forge them at the hand of the Black Hammer then return. Use the mask and seek the shattered blade." He added as we started back on our way.

"Azrael said you've got to use the Mask of Shadows to find the pieces of the broken blade." The Watcher said as we crossed another shadow bridge thingy.

"Thank you fer that unhelpful and repetitive advice." I told him from Big Red's back.

He went back in though when we got to the other side where a yellow light was hovering in the air.

Putting on the Mask, War grabbed the light and an anvil appeared out of nowhere in front of him.

"Sooo, I'm guessin that's one down?"

He nodded, "We need six more pieces."

I faked a gasp, "We? Aw, you're so sweet ta include me in things now."

He gave another one of those "you're crazy" looks. Meaning his face pretty much stayed the same but I got the impression.

"What? Despite what I told Azzy in the Tower - since I was a little mad then - I consider you a friend. And as my friend, I've gotta give ya Hell sometimes. It's a requirement."

"What did you tell Azrael?"

Oops. I pretended to think back, "Ya know, I cain't quite remember. But whatever, we best get movin. Where to next?"

"To see Ulthane."

"Oooh yay, I can finally thank 'im fer Severance."

So we jumped down the cliff to find ourselves back where War fought the King Garden Worm. Summoning our mounts, we rode across the mostly empty space and to Vulgrim's spot on the other side.

"So—the final battle is before you! You are wise to seek help from old Vulgrim!" the demon said as we got closer.

"Sorry man, we just wanna use the Serpent Holes." I told him.

He didn't say anything but let us through. I think I may have offended him a little. Oh well.

We made our way down the curving path and out the other side. There we passed through tunnel back into the Hammer's yard. It was a lot cleaner than the last time we were here and the hammer was gone.

War used his gauntlet thingy to shove open Ulthane's heavy door and we went inside.

I ran ahead of him, excited to see the giant, "Hammer! We're back! Sorry ta intrude!"

Stepping over what looked like the broken remains of a door, we entered the next room where the Old One was hammering away at something on an anvil.

"Lassie." He said, then he saw Big Red, "Good to see you again, Horseman."

I ran across the room to see that he was working on a sword, "Thanks fer the ax, Hammer. I named it Severance."

"You're welcome little missy. That's a fine name." He said, patting my head with his huge hand before going back to work on the sword.

"Well, I've said all I needed ta say. Big Red?"

"I know the truth." War told Ulthane.

The Old One stopped hammering again and laid his equipment on a table, "Angels with ambition 'ave always fouled up things fer the rest of us."

"Abaddon is the Destroyer."

Hammer turned, knocking his hammer off the table, "Impossible!"

Apparently not.

"In Eden, I stood with Azrael before the Tree. It showed me the weapon that will stop him."

Wait, Azzy wasn't at the Tree with us.

"My forge is yours, Horseman."

Aw, thank ya! You're so nice Hammer.

"You have forged it already. The Armageddon Blade."

"It's gone."

It's okay buddy, don't look so dejected.

"You can reforge it, if I bring you the broken fragments."

Well we gotta find 'em first.

"But… they're scattered… Lost."

War started to walk off, I guess eager to find the pieces, "Make preparations. I will bring them."

Hammer looked like he wanted to say something else but turned around and slammed his fist onto his anvil, causing sparks to fly.

I looked between the Horseman and the Black Hammer, "See ya later Hammer. Don't worry, we'll find all the pieces."

"Come back when you've got the rest of it." He sounded so sad.

I hated to just leave him like that but what choice did I have? I ran after War, "So where to next."

"The Crossroads."

I stared at him for a second, not really comprehending, "Where?"

"The place where we met."

"Oooooh, shit dude, I didn't know these places have names. Well, except fer the Ashlands and the Iron Canopy. Wait, how do you know their names?"

He kept silent and walked on.

"Fine." I huffed, "Keep your secrets. I don't care. I'll keep mine."

He looked almost amused by the thought that I could have secrets, "What secrets?"

I stuck my tongue out at him, blew a raspberry, and ran ahead and into Vulgrim's Serpent Hole.

"Hm, I could go on ahead o' 'im. As long as there ain't no big demons like one o' those Flamin Jerks er Mr. Buttons I can handle myself. Plus I've got Mayhem but I don't wanna make 'im fight 'em. Also, I don't really know how these Serpent Holes work…" In case you couldn't tell, I'm debating with myself whether or not to go ahead of the Horseman.

As I made my through the weird dimension, I tried to think of how Big Red knew the names. Then it came to me. "He's got a frikkin map!" I'd never seen him pull out a map before though but it's the only thing that really fit. It's just one of the minor things that bothered me. Like how everything fits in his gauntlet and whether or not he has pockets…

I made it out the other side and looked around to see red Fallen Pansies on one side and Fuglies on the other. They were both pretty far away so they hadn't noticed me yet.

I decided to go after the Fuglies. I might be able to take on a Pansy but only one or two. Five of them at the same time? I know my limits.

By the time I was done with the Fuglies, and the few zombies that showed up, War had finally arrived.

I strolled over to greet him, my ax resting on my shoulder. For once, I didn't get injured. "What took ya so long Big Red? I've already started without cha."

"You haven't done much." He said, looking at the Pansies. Well, who knew he could be so sassy?

"Excuse you? I was workin my way ta them and I already took out some zombies and demons. So ha."

"Here he is!" one of the Fallen Pansies yelled, finally noticing us. Only two of the five came over though but once they did, more Fuglies popped up out of the ground and came running at us too. Suffice to say they won't be running - or flying, in the Pansies' case - anymore.

So we ran around finding more zombies, Pansies, and Fuglies until the only things left alive were the crows and us. And Vulgrim I guess since he had a spot here.

Can't exactly look for a piece of a sword with everything trying to kill you, can ya? Terrible inconvenience.

"Hey Big Red, we make a pretty good team huh?" I told him as we made our way back to Vulgrim's spot. "Too bad all this is almost over. Well, good cause ya finally get ta punish those responsible but too bad cause it was kinda fun."

"How was it fun?"

"Well, it was an adventure! It broke the monotony! Fightin demons and stuff, travelin around, meetin new people, solvin a mystery, punchin the Watcher, life er death situations. C'mon man, ya cain't say that wasn't fun. Then again, maybe you're just used ta it."

"You have an odd sense of fun."

"I've been told that before."

Once we made it back close to the merchant's spot, War put on the mask, ran over to one of the buildings, and jumped on something. Since he flew up after he opened his wings, I guess it was another windy orb thing. Using it, he landed on the building then jumped to another orb, swung across two buildings using a grappling spot, and finally landed on the platform thingy hanging over the road. But he wasn't done there! I guess there was another orb and he used it to fly up even higher where he finally found the sword piece, I guess. He jumped down from there and we moved on back to Vulgrim's spot and the SH, or Serpent Hole.

"Next on the agenda is…?" I asked once we were inside.

"The Choking Grounds."

I tried to remember the way we had gone, Let's see… after the Crossroads is was the library then Sammy's prison but since we're not just walkin there so that cain't be it. After that we went to the… "The graveyard!"

We made it there only to be attacked by green Mr. Bones and some dude who had a hammer and a shield. He kinda looked like Crystal but with upgraded stuff.

"Diiiie." He died, we left, killed everything else in sight including some skanks.

Something really weird popped up though. War pushed an above-ground casket thingy out of the way, revealing stairs leading to a hidden room. In the room we found a zombie. He wasn't normal, not even by zombie standards. He still looked like one of them but he wore black pants, a top hat, fought with a cane, and was even smoking a cigarette.

Taking off his hat, he bowed, "Enchanted to make your acquaintance, War. Terribly sorry, but I'll have to kill you now…" he said to War. He bowed again in my direction, "My lady."

What the frikkin Hell! Shit the zombies are evolvin!

"Gentleman's rules; no low shots or foul language!"

No foul language? That's no fun. Guess I better keep my mouth shut.

I watched as Big Red attacked him, though the zombie seemed to block them all. In retaliation, he took off his hat and threw it at the Horseman. Who dodged it, thankfully.

"I shall throttle you about the face and ears!"

The exchange continued, the zombie actually managing to hit War with his cane a few times.

"The burning!" he shouted before jumping into a top hat that appeared on the ground and disappearing.

I joined War in the middle of the room, "What… the fuck… was that?"

"A Wicked."

"A Wicked? Whatever, I thought zombies couldn't talk."

"I… don't know."

"Let's just move on and try ta forget 'im."

So we did and ended up down a hole and in a sorta hidden room. After killing the Mr. Bones there, we used the blue orb to fly up to the next level where the Horseman used the Crossblade to transfer fire from a broken pipe to an inactive bomb and blow up the red rocks blocking our way farther up. We climbed the icky vines, killed the skeletons, climbed up more vines - with help from our grappling hooks - and made it to where and upgraded Crystals was waiting.

"Who daresss?"

We dared. He died. Big Red used the Mask and another orb to jump up to the next level where I could hear him fighting some Skanks.

On a side note. I really want some pancakes.

Once he was done with them and had gotten the next piece, he jumped back down and we continued on. Instead of going back to the SH, we went thought the tunnel Rock Man was blocking once upon a time. We only ran into a few little Batsies here and there but made it to the other side.

"So what's this place called?" I asked him.

"The Broken Stair."

"Hm, I can see that."

Then we were attacked by angels.

"Don't these guys ever give up?!" I wondered out loud.

"We will not yield!" one of them shouted.

"Well, guess that answers that."

War took care of them by himself, even the one with the golden wings and the cannon. What? I've got a friends who's an angel, I'm not gonna fight his comrades. And I told Big Red as much when he asked why I didn't help.

"Who?" he asked after I told him.

"Nuh-uh. Remember, you keep your secrets and I'll keep mine." I smiled at him before skipping ahead into the building we had to pass through before. Yeah, I know. I'm a brat. Don'tcha love me and my silly antics?

Anyway, inside the building we were greeted by a butt load of zombies. Luckily, none of them talked or used a cane and were easier to deal with.

We jumped out of the building and to the blue orb. Where we were shot at by an angel. The Horseman killed him, took his cannon, and used it to shoot more angels farther on down. I think he likes using cannons. Too bad he had to drop it so he could jump to the next section of road. Then more angels appeared! Yay. You can pretty much guess what happened next. Then more angels came to join the party! Point is, we made it inside the building at the end of the broken road and onto the roof where the next sword piece was.

"Whoo! Three more ta go!"

"The Drowned Pass is next."

"Description sounds familiar."

He started to speak again but I held up a hand to stop him, "Don't tell me, I wanna try and guess. Mmm, it cain't be the Bat Bitch's place, unless you're talking about drowned in lava so it must be… that pretty place we passed through to find Hammer."

So we made our way back to the SH and to the Drowned Pass where we were attacked by Fluffies and the like. We also found the piece on top of one of the buildings. Meaning Big Red went for a swim.

I met him at the tunnel leading to Hammer's place, where it was easier to get onto dry land.

"Five down, two ta go. Where next?" I only ask where next so that I can learn the names to all these places.

"The Dry Road."

"Let's see… that would be-"

"The area you went to find… Mayhem."

"…I knew that." Or I would've figured it out anyway.

In any case, we made it to and through the SH and to the Dry Road. We'd just gotten up the slope, heading to the ruins to our right, when something crashed down behind us.

Why do I got a bad feelin bout this?

"This is no ambush, Horseman. I come alone." Said a female voice.

Oh, it's just the annoyin stalker angel.

We turned around as she summoned her sword in a flash of light and stabbed it into the ground, kneeling as she did so.

"I, Uriel of the Hellguard, Champion of the White City - call you, Horseman to Nex Sacramentum."

Nex what now?

"Fool…" War muttered.

She paid no attention and went on, "I lay claim to your life before the Creator… will you dishonor this law as well?"

He hasn't dishonored any laws ta begin with! Would this bitch listen fer once?!

War walked over, stabbed Chaoseater into the ground, and knelt as well. It was almost comical how much the Horseman and his sword dwarfed the angel and hers.

"Why?" he asked.

Don't tell me he's actually doin this? Is it against their laws er whatever ta refuse a challenge? And what exactly is this Nex Sacramentum?

"Because Abaddon said you understood honor… and because… he was the best of us."

And yet he still ended up dead and on the dark side. If he's the best o' ya, I'd hate ta see the worst.

They stood and grabbed their weapons, "The Death Oath cannot be broken… Until one falls by the hand of the other… I accept." Big Red said.

Excuse me? Death Oath? Baiser cette merde…

They pulled their swords out of the ground and the fight began. And I got out of the way.

Out of nowhere, Aeneas landed beside me, "Hello again Hope."

"Sup Aen. What're you doin here?"

"I heard Uriel was coming to fight the Horseman again."

"And ya came ta stop her?"

"No, I came to stop you."

I was only half paying attention to the fight but I could tell War was kicking some angelic ass, "Hm?"

"From interfering in the fight and getting yourself injured again."

"Aw, you're good angel peoples."

"What?"

"Just accept the compliment. But in any case, ya ain't gotta worry bout me jumpin in."

"Why not?"

I turned my attention back to the fight. The skank was in the air, summoning phantom replicas of her sword and trying to hit War. And he was dodging all of them.

"Well just look. Sorry, but Big Red's gonna win."

"Do not be so sure."

Uriel actually managed to lift the Horseman off the ground before throwing him back down. When he landed, she stabbed her sword into his shoulder then ripped it out. Big Red immediately got back to his feet and back to slashing at the angel, acting as if the stab wound didn't even hurt.

"Nah, he's still gonna win. He's Big Red, he cain't lose. Not now anyway. Not since he's come so far."

"Why do you have so much faith in him?"

"I wouldn't say it's faith exactly, more like confidence."

"You didn't answer my question."

"Just call it blind confidence." I shrugged. "Cause honestly, I ain't sure why."

And just like that the fight was over.

War knocked the swords from the angel's grasp before punching her, making her stumble back closer to the ruins. As she was kneeling, he grabbed her head and slammed her into the wall where she stayed.

As usual, the sprite came out at the worst time, "Yes… YESsss! What are you waiting for?" Flying over to the angel, he grabbed her face, pulled her from the wall, and dropped her to the ground, "Harvest this wench!"

Big Red ignored him and started to walk away.

The Watcher didn't like this, "War?! Don't you dare walk away from me!" He made some black mist cover the Horseman's gauntlet, stopping him.

"The Nex Sacramentum is MINE. I decide when the angel dies. Not YOU." He told the Stalker, snatching his hand away from him.

Yay! Good job standin up fer yourself Big Red!

"You swore an oath to me." Uriel jumped in, somehow making her sword fly back to her.

"Abaddon is The Destroyer."

Well that's one way ta get her off your back.

"Liar!"

"To protect you, he kept you from the truth. You pledged to follow your Lord into Hell, never knowing what awaited you. Or what he would become."

The skank lowered her sword, "…Abaddon…"

"He was betrayed, and became the enemy of all creation." He continued as the Watcher dived back into his gauntlet. "I've been to the Tree. Its gift, was truth. And I share it with you now. Remember the Death Oath… Soon, it must be fulfilled."

Without another word, Uriel took to the air and sped off.

I smiled up at Aen, "Told ya he'd win. Gotta go, be careful and all that!" I ran off to join the Horseman at the ruins as Aeneas flew after the skank.

Big Red had already gotten the next piece by the time I made it to him, "Yo, your shoulder okay? Ya know, where the bitch stabbed ya?"

"It's fine. Uriel said she came alone…"

"Ah, that was Aen. He followed her ta make sure I wouldn't jump in again."

"You know an angel?"

"Oh totally, I met 'im the first time we went through the Drowned Pass and healed his arm."

"Humans cannot heal others."

"Doctors could though that was just sorta regular healin. So where's the last piece?"

He ignored the fact that I changed the subject and went with it, "The Ashlands."

"Since it's pretty close, shall we walk?"

He just nodded and we set off.

"Ya know, I'm still wonderin how ya already know where the pieces are and the names o' all these places."

He didn't answer and kept walking.

"Fine. Whatever."

We continued on in silence. Well, until I couldn't take it anymore.

"So what're ya gonna do after ya beat the Big Boss Dude?"

"Go after the Council."

"Ooooh, big goal. Good luck."

"What will you do?"

"Mmm, I might travel around a bit. I've never seen Niagara Falls before. I wonder if it's still the same…"

"There will still be demons around."

"Yeah, I got it. I'll be careful."

So I guess that settled it then. After all this was over, we were going our separate ways. I guess I expected it but it was still kinda sad.

"Mmm, so how'd ya do that sword trick?" I asked as we walked.

"Sword trick?"

"Yeah, ya know, back in the Ashlands we were fightin some Skanks and demons and ya stabbed Chaoseater inta the ground and a buncha replicas shot up."

"Blade Geyser, it is a wrath ability."

"A what?"

"Wrath ability. Chaoseater feeds off the havoc and carnage of battle and transfers it to me."

"And that lets ya use a wrath ability?"

He nodded and I had my answer.

"Ya got any other abilities besides Blade Geyser?"

"Stone Skin, Immolation, and Affliction."

"Why come ya haven't used those?"

"They are last resorts."

"Oooh, well what about when ya turn inta that huge fiery demon-lookin thing?"

"Also a last resort."

"Not what I meant."

"It is my Chaos Form."

"Do all the Horsemen have one?"

"Yes."

"Interestin... What're their names anyway? The Horsemen, I mean."

"Death, Fury, and Strife."

"Are you the oldest?"

"No, Death is. I am the youngest."

I stepped away so I could look at him better, "Ya gotta be kiddin me."

"I am not."

"Well hot damn. Ya learn somethin amazin every day I suppose."

Once we got to the Ashlands, we summoned our mounts and headed to the left. We had to use Ruin and Mayhem to jump up onto the ledge. From there, we climbed up onto another ledge and went through a tunnel directly in front of us that led to a room. War put on the Mask and shot the Abyssal Chain at the wall. When it retracted, there was an inactive bomb attached. He threw it at the red rocks high up on the wall and used the Crossblade to transfer the fire from a nearby torch to the bomb making it and the red rocks to explode. We backtracked and took the path to the right which led up, up, up. Unfortunately, we got stuck at a gap in the path. No orb, no grapple spot, nothing.

"So how do we get across?"

He put the Mask back on then crouched down to where I could climb on his back. He shot the Chain at some unseen spot and we went flying through the air and landed on the other side of the gap. I dropped down from his back and we could continue on to where War could get the final piece.

Just like that, we had them all.

"That's it… the last piece of that accursed blade. Now, get back to Ulthane and finish this business." Said the Watcher but we ignored him.

"Well that's all o' 'em, ain't it?"

"This is the final piece."

"So I guess all that's left is ta get Hammer ta fix the sword and go beat the Destroyer fucker."

"Take the broken blade to Ulthane. He'll help you, or you'll forge a sword on his face." The sprite went on.

"I just said that. Plus, how exactly are ya supposed ta forge a sword on someone's face?"

The sprite didn't respond and we just stood there and glared at each other until Big Red walked between us, stopping the glaring contest, "Let's go."

So we traded the Ashlands for Anvil's Ford - Big Red told me the name - via the Serpent Hole.

Once the Horseman gave him the pieces, Hammer laid them out on the table in the shape of a sword.

"My greatest work…" Ulthane said, picking up the hilt.

"Until now." War added.

So piece by piece the Black Hammer re-forged the sword.

With nothing better to do, I went outside and played with Mayhem. Though I had to get Big Red to open the door for me. We chased crows, splashed in the water, climbed the buildings, and even took a nap in the shade.

I'm not sure how long it was but eventually Big Red came out of Hammer's place with a different sword on his back.

I got up to join him, Mayhem right behind me, "So, I assume this is the Armageddon Blade?"

"Yes."

"Goody. If I asked what happened to Chaoseater, would ya tell me?"

He didn't say anything and went ahead into the tunnel leading to the closest SH.

"Guess he's got a lot on his mind." I told Mayhem before banishing him and running after the Horseman and towards the final battle.

I hope he's ready for this cause I sure ain't. And I'm not even the one fighting.

Obviously not ready for this,

Hope
