Chapter 63 The Musician and the Warrior's Tale Part 2

Disclaimer: I do not own anything, expect the OCs. This is just a story for fun.

The Fight King sat on a massive stone throne, with his massive golden sword by his side as he looked down at his arena. The evil being still resembled a corpse with dark black skin wearing a loincloth, bandages, and a small floating red crown. The Fight King's lost arm and missing eye had been returned to him once he landed in the Underworld. The Fight King was first furious about dying at the hands of Finn, but after exploring the Underworld a little, the warrior found out that the afterlife was crawling with restless spirits. The Underworld would be the perfect spot for a new arena. Fight King teamed up with an evil fire elemental called Flame Duke and together they hustled up some skeleton slaves and they built a new arena made out of bones and stones.

The new arena was a big success and the villains had traveled around snatching up souls from the Underworld and various Dead Worlds forcing them to fight in the arena. The arena was packed with warriors of various races and time periods. There were knights, ninjas, samurai, vikings, pirates, thieve, SWAT team police officers, mobsters, clowns, cowboys, indians, cowgirls, masked wrestlers, fire elementals, candy people, slime people, Martians, sumo warriors, wizards, gnomes, goblins, fairies, disgruntle postal workers, and other various warriors and monsters.

Fight King was pleased with his work. Flame Duke stood by equally pleased with a chained up Sartana standing nearby with a tray. Fight King turned to a large bronze statue of War, which he had created and placed near his throne.

"Behold War, I have created all this for you in your name! Fighting is everything and you shouldn't stop fighting even if your dead. I have created this arena of endless fighting and soon everyone will know the true purpose of existing! It is to fight!" Declared Fight King as he waved his big sword in the air.

A bunch of the skeleton servants beat the butt of their spears on the floor in agreement. Several of the captive souls just rolled their eyes or glared at the fight loving being.

In the center of the arena five spirits were fending off skeletons and other various warriors, who jumped into the arena to fight.

The first two spirits were a couple who went by the names Clarence and Warrior Princess. The two of them had once been lovers during their time back on Earth, but due to a feud between their kingdoms they were forced to fight each other. Clarence stabbed Warrior Princess in the chest killing her. Clarence became grief stricken and guilty about what he did. The young man became broken and drowned himself in despair and Softy Cheese, until he overdose himself at a Squeez-E-Mart and his body exploded killing him! Clarence wondered around Ooo as a ghost unable to remember his past life and unable to go into the afterlife. A few years later Finn and Jake were trying to help out a dead royal figure out her past. The dead royal was named Ghost Princess and she wanted to know who she was so she could go to the afterlife. The group encountered Clarence, who agreed to help them out. Clarence became attracted to Ghost Princess and they hung out.

Finn and Jake did some digging in the local graveyard where Ghost Princess's mortal body and after checking some graves they managed to figure out Ghost Princess's identity and how she died. Ghost Princess was revealed to be Warrior Princess and it was Clarence that killed her! Ghost Princess started to ascend into the sky to Dead World 50. Clarence was heartbroken because he couldn't remember who he was and how he died. Clarence declared his life was like a fart and this caused Jake to remember the day he was at the Squeez-E-Mart where by chance he saw Clarence say the exact same phrase right before he overdose and killed himself with Softy Cheese. This caused Clarence to remember and ascend into the sky with Ghost Princess to Dead World 50.

The two reunited lovers began to rekindle their love for each other and Ghost Princess changed her name back to Warrior Princess. Clarence and Warrior Princess had been enjoying themselves in Dead World 50, when a bunch of skeletons had broken into the realm and started snatching up the inhabitants, which included Clarence and Warrior Princess, who now stood in the arena holding swords.

Next to them were a couple of wizards. The first wizard was Huntress Wizard's old boyfriend Hunter Wizard. Hunter Wizard had light brown skin, with brown leaf like hair, and brown antlers, he was dressed in a green shirt and pants, along with a brown cloak. Hunter Wizard fought with a bow and some arrows. The second wizard was Ash. The grey skinned wizard had just been minding his own business, when he had been captured and forced to fight in the arena. Ash cursed his misfortune as he fired some fireballs at some ghost warriors.

In the center of the group leading them was Elizabeth. The mother of Gearga was dressed in military clothes fighting with a rapier.

A bunch of skeletons and ghost warriors charged the group trying to rip them apart. Elizabeth, Clarence, and Warrior Princess charged forward slashing a bunch of skeletons to bits. A pirate with a peg leg charged at Elizabeth swinging his sword, the solider ducked underneath the swing and sliced the peg leg off causing the pirate to lose his balance and fall onto his back, where Elizabeth finished him off with a stab making the pirate vanish in a puff of smoke. Before Elizabeth could rest a clown carrying a chainsaw came charging at her. The female warrior dodge to the side, but was grabbed from behind by a masked wrestler. The clown saw the pinned Elizabeth and charged out her laughing as he held his chainsaw up high. Elizabeth quickly slammed the back of her head into the wrestler's face forcing him to let go. The clown reached her and swung his chainsaw at her, but the solider had dropped to her knees and instead of hitting her with the chainsaw, the clown hit the wrestler instead! The wrestler let out a scream as his head was sliced in half and his body vanished in a puff of smoke. The clown just starred off into space shocked, which gave Elizabeth the change to ram her sword through the clown's chest making him vanish in a puff of smoke. Elizabeth took her sword up and charged forward to continue fighting.

Hunter Wizard was taking out a group of ninjas with his arrows, when he saw a postal worker reach into his carrying bag and pull out a grenade. The postal worker pulled out the pin and prepared to hurl the explosive at Ash, when a arrow flew through the air and knocked the grenade from his hand. The grenade hit the ground and rolled towards the feet of a large group of samurai and knights. The warriors starred down at the grenade in confusion, before it exploded taking them all out. Ash hit the postal worker with a fireball and he vanished also. A group of fire elementals began to launch fireballs at Hunter Wizard and his allies. Hunter Wizard fired a magic arrow into the air creating a rain cloud that began to rain arrows down upon the fire elementals and the rest of the warriors taking them out and disappear in a puff of smoke.

Fight King looked down at the arena with a grin.

"Well done my champions! You managed to survive another wave of enemies!"

Elizabeth just glared up at Fight King and pointed her sword up at him.

"Enough of this! You kidnapped us and forced us to fight for your entertainment! I demand you release use and all those you have kidnapped and forced to fight in your arena!"

"Foolish woman, you dare make demands of me! How ungrateful you are! I have given you miserable afterlives purpose! Fighting is the only thing worth existing for! I created this arena of endless fighting for the Great War himself! You should be honored to be here!" Declared Fight King.

"It is you who are foolish! I was married to War and I had a child with him. We had different opinions about warfare and fighting, but we both agreed that people needed an actual reason to fight. It could be an disagreement or just simply to have a little fun and blow off some steam. What your doing is senseless fighting for your own sick twisted amusement! You kidnap and force people to fight each other, for only the sake of fighting. There is no honor in what you are doing!" Said Elizabeth.

Everybody looked at Fight King wondering how he would react to the insult. The old warrior just grinned and laugh.

"So your the wife of War, we'll let me tell you something. Your dear husband gave me this magic sword as a gift for the fights I had in my arena back on earth. For several thousand years I waged battle upon battle in my arena, until a couple of young warriors destroyed my sword and killed me. But in that entire time War didn't lift a finger to stop me or tell me to stop. He approved of what I was doing!"

Elizabeth's jaw dropped in disbelief at this news, her four comrades looked at her not sure what to say. There were a few puffs of smoke from the stands and all the recently defeated warriors appeared ready to thrown themselves back into the arena.

"You see my dear, everyone has that primal desire to fight no matter what! They will fight for anything, just to simply feel the thrill of the action. Who needs a reason to fight? Fighting is what everyone desires and you all keep fighting till then end of time and then some!" Shouted Fight King.

The crowd of warriors cheered in agreement as they prepared to launch another all out brawl into the arena. At that moment one of the arena doors exploded and out from the destroyed doorway came Django and Gearga ready to fight.

Django Flashback 1,020 years ago

Django awoke in a dark room confused, he remembered being shot and loosing consciousness, but he had no idea how he got here. Then he heard movement and turned to see his mother standing a few feet away from him with a look of concern.

"Mom...what happened?" Asked Django as he reached a hand out to his mother.

It was then that Django noticed his hand was completely different. Django's hand no longer had any skin on it! Instead it was claw like and skeletal. Django let out a startled shout as he sat up and noticed his other hand was the same way.

"What...is happening to me?!" Shouted Django.

"Django it's ok, I'm here for you and so is your father." Said Sartana as she wrapped her arms around her son trying to comfort him.

Django looked around in confusion wondering where his father was, then his eyes landed on a figure sitting in the shadows. The only part of the figure's head and face Django could make out were two white eyes.

"Hello son." Said the figure.

"So...your my dad. Ok, so can you tell me what's happening to me?" Said Django as he stood up and faced the figure.

"Well first off, you died. Normally that would be the end of a person, but your not exactly one hundred precent human." Said Django's father.

Django was confused. Sartana pulled out a mirror and handed it to Django, he looked at the mirror and gasped! Instead of seeing a normal face with hair, Django saw a skull with white eyes.

"I know this is a lot to take in, but I'm here to help. You see Django, I am Death." Said the figure as he stood up and stepped out of the shadows.

Django saw that his father was dressed in farmer clothes and he had the skull of a horse for a head. Django gasped. Death gave off a little smile as he looked at his son.

"I'm...the son of Death?" Said Django.

"You are. As to what happened, your human half got killed and your Death half kicked in and transformed you." Explained Death.

"So...are you here to take me with you...to wherever you live?" Asked Django.

"Only if you want to. I do however have a present for that I think will come in handy." Said Death as he pulled out a golden guitar and handed it to Django. "This guitar has a bunch of mystical abilities that will disguise you and help you defend yourself."

Django strummed one of the strings and there was a flash of light. The young man looked down out himself and saw that he looked fully human again. Django strummed the guitar again and he changed back into his skeleton form.

"So what happens now?" Asked Django.

"Well you can either come with me or stay here. The choice is yours." Said Death as he stood up.

"Um...thanks dad. This will really help me out." Said Django as he held up the guitar.

"Your welcome son and feel free to drop by the Underworld anytime you want to visit." Said Death.

"So...your not going to show me what this guitar can do?" Asked Django.

"No. Your smart and very talented, I'm sure you can figure out the power of that guitar real quick." Said Death as a portal to the Underworld opened up before him.

Death waved goodbye as he stepped through the portal and vanished. Django and Sartana sat in the room quietly looking at the guitar.

"So what should we do?" Asked Sartana.

"I need to go pay Roberto a little visit." Said Django as he strummed his guitar and took on his human disguise.

Django went to the big house Roberto lived in and snuck in through the window. He made his way to Roberto's study and saw Roberto smoking some cigars with the man that shot him. Django grinned as he dramatically kicked the door in. Roberto and the other man turned around to see Django and their jaws dropped open in shock and disbelief, making the cigars drop to the floor.

"Hey Roberto, I'm back." Greeted Django.

"But...how?! I shot you dead!" Exclaimed the skinny man.

"Oh I did die, but my spirit refused to go to the afterlife, until I make you both face justice for your crimes." Said Django as he advanced towards the two men.

Robert managed to regain his composure and he just stared at Django with a smirk.

"Do you honestly take me for a superstitious fool? You just got lucky and survived, will soon fix that!" Said Roberto as he pulled out a pistol and pointed it at Django.

The skinny henchman also pulled out his pistol and pointed it at a Django. The son of Death just smirked.

"I think you'll be changing your minds pretty soon." He said as he strummed his guitar and revealed his skeletal form.

Both Roberto and the skinny man starred at Django in horror. Then Roberto screamed as he fired his pistol at the skeleton. The shot missed Django, who advanced on the two men. The henchman fired his pistol and the bullet went through Django's rib cage, but didn't cause him any harm. Django continued to advance as he strummed his guitar changing it into a scythe. Roberto and the henchman continued to fire at Django, until both their guns clicked empty. Django raised his scythe up as if to attack.

"The monster wants my SOUL!" Screamed the henchman before he fainted with fright.

Roberto desperately tried to reload his, but Django knocked it from his hands with a swing from his scythe. The undead man grabbed Roberto by the shirt and pressed him against his office chair.

"PLEASE HAVE MERCY! I'll do anything, just please don't kill me!" Sobbed Roberto.

"You will confess to what you did and you will confess all your crimes to the sherif. If you do not, then I will come back for your soul!" Declared Django.

"I'll do it!" Cried Roberto.

Django released Roberto and then jumped out through the office window returning to his human appearance as he made his way home. Days later Roberto confessed to every crime he ever committed and he was arrested. However nobody believed Roberto killed Django, because they saw the young man walking around town. The sight of Django walking around drove Roberto crazy and he was sent to an insane asylum.

A few weeks later Django decided to do some traveling and see the world. He said goodbye to his mother and headed out.

Present Day

Django and Gearga made their way to the center of the arena. Gearga exchanged a smile with her mother before standing next to each other prepared to fight. Django glanced up at the stands and saw his mother chained up next to Flame Duke. He shot a small smile up to her and she returned it. Fight King looked down at the two newcomers.

"Who are you?" He demanded.

"Django son of Death!" Declared Django.

"Gearga daughter of War!" Declared Gearga.

"We're here to put a stop to you and sick arena. You've upset the balance of the afterlife and you've disrespected the dead!" Said Django as he turned his guitar into a scythe.

"Ah fresh meat. It looks like we have a couple of celebrities fighting now, this'll be interesting." Said Fight King as he turned to look at Gearga. "So, your a child of War, you don't look that impressive."

"At least I don't look like a decaying corpse." Replied Gearga.

"Oh touchy! That may be true, but I bet you father never gave you a magnificent magic sword." Said Fight King as he held his sword up high.

Gearga just glared at Fight King. Flame Duke then decided to take charge of the situation.

"All of you attack!" He shouted at all the warriors.

All the ghost warriors leaped into the arena to attack. Gearga and the others prepared to fight, but Django raised a hand.

"I'll handle this. Just get ready to duck." Said Django as his scythe glowed with red energy.

Gearga and the others quickly ducked as Django spun around, swinging his scythe and unleashed a wave of energy that crashed into all the charging warriors making them vanish in a puff of smoke. Flame Duke gasped in shock, Sartana smiled with pride, and Fight King just glared down with annoyance. All the defeated warriors reappeared in the stands looking a little freaked out about their quick defeat. Fight King stood up and raised his sword up high summoning a bunch of his skeleton servants to the arena.

"I'll admit you are strong, but you are facing a loosing battle. You might overcome one wave of warriors, but they'll just return to fight again and again. You cannot win." Said Fight King as the skeletons closed in on the heroes and their allies.

Django just smirked.

"That's not as true as you think. You see I have some allies who are going to turn the tide of this battle." Said Django as he put a couple of his fingers I his mouth and whistled loudly.

At first nothing happened, but then the arena started to shake a little as something big started to make it's way to the arena. Gearga looked at Django and wondered what kind of allies he had summoned.

Gearga Flashback 1,020 years ago

Gearga was off from military school and hanging with her father at a local club. The two of them were sitting at a table drinking some soda, while a young man dressed as a cowboy played a gold color guitar on stage. Gearga sensed that there was something on her father's mind.

"What's up dad?" She asked.

"Gearga there's something...important I need to tell you."

"What's that?" Asked Gearga.

"Well...your not exactly completely human."

"What do you mean?" Asked Gearga.

"Gearga...I'm one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. I'm...War."

Gearga starred at her father not sure if he was joking or not. There was a serious look in his eyes. The cowboy on stage stopped playing and got off the stage. War saw him and signaled him over to the table.

"Sup." asked the cowboy.

"I know your Death's name is Django." Said War.

Django blinked his eyes in confusion not sure how to take this.

"Relax I'm a friend of your dad. I'm War and this is my daughter Gearga."

"Hi." Said Gearga.

War lead Gearga and Django outside where he had Django reveal his skeleton form. Gearga was shocked and she realized her father was telling the truth. A few weeks later War took Gearga to a strange place know as the Timezone, it was a strange realm where time ran differently. War explained that Elizabeth had a bad feeling about the recent events between America and Russia and she thought it best if Gearga was taken to a safe place away from Earth. Gearga spent the next few years training, while nearly a thousand years passed by on Earth. After a while, War deemed it was safe for Gearga to return to Earth. Gearga appeared on Earth surprised to find it in ruin, but it appeared that new lifeforms were beginning to take shape on the planet. The daughter of War vowed to use her military training to create a special force to protect the new world from all harm. Gearga went out looking for allies to join her team.

Present Day

The arena shook as a huge black haired creature smashed through one of the walls. It was a massive three headed dog know as Cerberus being ridden by the King of Mars and flying behind him was Flame Queen. All the Martians and fire elementals saw the two rulers of their people and bowed to them. A panicked look appeared on Flame Duke's face as he saw his sister in law.

"Warriors and people it is time to put a stop to this violence and become peaceful. This is the afterlife, there is no need to fight. This is a place of peace and rest." Said Flame Queen.

"It's time to overthrown your oppressors!" Declared the King of Mars.

All the warriors looked at one another, then they looked at the skeletons and started to attack them, soon a all out brawl had started, but this time there was an actual reason for it. Various warriors were smashing skeletons, while Cerberus went about crushed the undead warriors with his paws and teeth. Up in the stands Flame Duke was trying to sneak away, but Sartana hit him in the head with a tray stunning him. Flame Queen arrived and confronted Flame Duke. The evil fire elemental starred nervously at Flame Queen.

"Hey..Sarah...um long time no see." Said Flame Duke as he got up.

"I know what you tried to do to my daughter and my husband." Said Flame Queen.

"Um...ok. Look...I'm sorry! Have mercy!" Said Flame Duke as he looked desperately for mercy from Flame Queen.

"There is no redemption for someone who tried to kill an infant for power!" Declared Flame Queen.

Flame Duke looked like, he was surrendering, but then he threw a punch at Flame Queen's face, but she easily caught it and stopped it with her hand. Flame Queen just glared at Flame Duke, who starred back at her with a panicked look in his eyes as he realized he was done for.

"Your just a glutton for punishment." Said Flame Queen as she slammed a powerful punch into Flame Duke's face!

Flame Duke flew through the air and crashed into the other side of the arena with several of his teeth missing and groaning in pain. Flame Queen blew some smoke from her hand and went off to continue the battle.

Gearga and Elizabeth were running up the stairs to face Fight King. The evil warrior stood before them with his sword raised high to fight. Gearga told her mom to stand back as she charged forward to fight Fight King. Fight King swung his sword and Gearga blocked it with her own. Sparks flew as the swords pressed against each other. Fight King knocked Gearga back with a kick to her chest. The fight loving madman charged at Gearga swinging his sword from the side, Gearga ducked and slammed the hilt of her sword into Fight King's gut knocking him back. Gearga charged forward with a downward swing, but Fight King blocked it and punched Gearga in the face. The warrior women staggered back as Fight King charged forward slashing his sword down at Gearga. Gearga tried to block the attack, but Fight King's sword smashed right through it knocking Gearga to the ground. The daughter of War tried to raise what was left of her sword up, but Fight King just knocked it away.

"You played with the big boys and failed! Now you shall die!" Declared Fight King as he raised his sword high and swung down at Gearga ready to finish her off.

Gearga shot her hands up and caught the sword between her hands! Fight King tried to press down, but Gearga refused to budge. With a mighty burst of strength, Gearga managed to stand up and wrestled the blade from Fight King's hands. The evil warrior stared in shock as his sword hit the ground with a thud.

"The fight is over." Said Gearga as she punched Fight King in the face sending him falling down the stairs and crashing into the arena below.

Gearga picked up Fight King's sword and raised it up high in victory. The battle was won.

Django Flashback 1,020 years ago

Django was sitting in a cemetery reading a newspaper about the threat of war between America and Russia. The undead musician decided, he was going to go to sleep and wait till the war ended. Using his powers he constructed a coffin and created a hole for him and the coffin to go into. Django used his powers to bury himself and then he went to sleep.

Present Day

The arena laid in ruins as the heroes hung out with their mothers. All the other souls had returned to the various Dead World's where they belonged. Django was petting Cerberus, when Death and War appeared. They saw Fight King and Flame Duke chained up and they were pleased.

"Good job you two. The balance of the afterlife has been restored." Said Death.

Gearga walked up to her father holding Fight King's sword. War raised his hand and shook his head.

"You keep it, you've earned it."

"Thank you father." Said Gearga.

War touched a finger to the sword and it changed from gold to silver. Gearga admired the blade with awe.

Death and War turned their attention to Fight King and Flame Duke. It was time to give out some punishment. War decided to go first, he glared at Fight King with intense hate.

"Fight King I strip you of your sword, your crown, and your title." Said War as he yanked the small crown from Fight King's head.

Death went next.

"For your crimes against the souls of the afterlife I hereby banish you two to the deepest, darkest, and most isolated place in the Underworld!" Declared Death as he opened up a portal beneath the two criminals.

Fight King and Flame Duke screamed as they fell through the portal and vanished. The two villains found themselves deep within a cave surrounded by miles and miles of rock and darkness.

Gearga and Django hung out with their parents a little while longer before heading back to Ooo. It had been a hard fight fight, but peace had returned to Ooo.

To be continued.
