Only one thing can surpas both time and fate... it is the binding force which keeps humans saine and those without it lose touch with reality. It keeps us warm inside it is what makes up the soul... it is the feelings which we have for one another... it is...

Chapter 4:The Third Master Of Reality...

Death sat up from the couch... yet another set of arms was around him, he slipped out of alice's death grip like a serpant and then nabed the shower while he still could... stepping out he dried his wet red hair and then proceeded to sort through his inventory...

The others were starting to wake up as well, each took their turn in the shower and then Kima stepped up behind him..

"So what're you doing?"

"I never could trust my own inventory, I only carry the bare necesities with me..."

"So then where's the rest of your inventory? Like weapons and stuff?"

"Where do you store you're extra stuff..."

"I have it all in a bank in Farlis... why?"

"Well I have a bank too..."

Death stepped out into the afternoon daylight... "I love sleeping in late.. I never rerally get to sleep at all heh..."

He stretched a bit, waving his heavy coat in the wind...

"alright, I'm going to travel to my bank... its across a great body of water onto a small island... I'm afraid that you can't come with me, i'll bring gifts [img]smile.gif[/img] I just hope the island is still there... Ok ladies, gent... Have fun will ya? Oh and feel free to accept my reward money for me... I'm outta here..."

The tubby mayor burst from his office and started running toward death..

"WAIT! WAIT YOUNG MAN! DON'T GO! I WANT TO THANK YO...ueeew..." Steam already burst from Death's metalic boots and he leapt so far into the sky he disseapeared form sight...

"wha-what did he have for breakfast this morning?"

"Nothing... maybe that's why he was so light hehe..."

"is your freind a dragoon?"

"Nope, he claims to be a ranger and he uses a bow, sometimes he uses a spear though like a lancer, we aren't quite certain as to what he is...."

"his eyes were of necromancy blood"

"Excuse me?"

The three turned and looked at the mayor...

"he knew that I knew, that's why he distanced his view from me... it was obviouse, but then i turned and saw those angry red eyes... the whites of his eyes turned navy blue... that had to be him...."

"Is he of a special race or something?"

"We don't know... they train in the east and spread to the west, avoiding the sea..."

"he just said he was going to cross a sea to get to an island..."

"HE SAID WHAT?"

"Yeah something about a bank of his being over there..."

"so maybe they go in all directions... that means that threats may be to the west as well!"

"but Death seems like a nice guy..."

"DEATH was his name? How is that the name of a nice person?"

"OH no no NO wait his name was Deathkiller... don't tell him I told you..." flare said embarrasingly...

"AHA so that's it is it.. he's a descendant of legerndary blood..."

"he's WHAT?" everyone asked at once...

"oh he hasn't told you? then perhaps you should ask him yourself..."

"wait couldn't you just tell us?"

"*sigh* fine.... I don't know for sure, but there is a type of good necromancy out there... though your freind didn't seem to be a dedicated member, that's because of his line... a type of person who was highly educated and dedicated to no class existed a long time ago.. they were in hundreds of thousands... some amongst them weren't native to the previouse world though from which our ancestors came..."

"you mean... aliens?"
"Or... or DEMONS?"

"Both or neither, I cannot be sure... all we know is they took a liking to the dark arts, it is said that the last generation of them spawned three brothers..."

"their names?"

"Cannot be spoken by human lips... it would draw them so close to us that we would be smitten on the spot..."

"was Death one of those brothers?"

"he may have been.. that name could have been given to him by his father because he exhibited good atributes rather than bad... could've taken to his mother...

"Ma' always used to say never to travel light!"

... "You sure know you're good and bad mercenaries mister mayor..."

"hehe... more than you know dear... more than you know..."

The chubby figure started walking away, his orange tail waving as he walked...

"wait a minute..." kimagure spoke up...

"That hair of yours is a DYE JOB!"

The silver haired figure turned and stared at the three who's tails corresponded to their hair color..

"er um I ... It's just because I'm getting old and nothing more..." he dashed for the mayors office...

"he ran WAY too fast for a little fat man..."

"I think we'll figure out his secrets soon enough... let's start venturing toward the next down... farlis... I think we can get a better job there..."

Kima sighed... "why do we have to go back there..."

"well you're banks there..."

"But I hate farlis, all the mages there are so snoody toward me for being a mercenary sorcorsess..."

"well who cares what those pitifully weak mages think!"

"PITIFULLY WEAK! I'd like to see you say that on the streets of Farlis and live to tell the tale!"

"wait you guys... will death catch up?"

"He always seems to be able to do what he wants whenever he wants.."

"hrmph..."

"ey i thought you didn't like being snoody Kima-chan MUAHAHA!"

"ILL GET YOU!"

Flare began running for his life as Kima started pursuiting him furriously, Alice smiled and said... "on to Falis I guess!

They began running together...

Elswhere in a small forest the ground was struck by a large. heavy object. The trees vibrated from the earth trembeling shake and then settled...

Death was on one knee, he stood up from the crafter he'd formed and started walking into the jungle, this time only making a small patting noise on the ground as he walked... he stepped through some sand and looked behind him... the tide had risen exponentially!
The waves crashed agains the soil made sand.. death continued into the livid jungle... he came upon an ancient stone carving with the shape of a hand on it... he placed his hand on the sculpture and the island began to shake.... suddenly a plaform shot out from the sand on the beach... death blitzed for the platform and got on just as it shot down through the earth... he was not in a transparent tube,,,

he looked out and saw bizare fish with lights on their heads for better seeing swimming around... some had huge jaws and their size with incredible!

Death licked his lips... "ambrosia..."

the elevator tube stopped, and then turned paralel to the ground, death shot through the islands inner caves sideways and then was righted at the opening to a giant room... Death walked up to a huge gate and placed his hand into another socket, tiny wires shot out and ran up his palm and into his veins, they searched around in the ball of his wrist and then hit something metalic, energy poured fom the lines into the wall, the wall lit up and the giant door next to the switch began sliding open. on the front of it was a three prong symbol that mean "Gods among men"

The doors opened and death stepped in..

there were bright spotlights shining on rubies, gold peices, silver, platinum, a wealth of rare metals and in the center a case that read "DO NOT OPEN! EVER! EVER!!!"

Death walked up to the case and opened it.. he then pulled out a rare-looking red stone that cut to a sphere... he quickly shut the case and latched it with 14 seperate locks that were then hexed to stay closed... he took the red jewl and turned up his left hand... he rolled up his sleeve and then slammed the stone into the palm of his hand... there was a siziling burning noise... death then saw the ball pass through the flesh of his palm and it moved into the ball of his left wrist.. he twisted his hands around... and popped his knuckles... EXCELENT!

he tightened his first and held them out,, both were now glowing with tiny red circles...

Death turned toward another wall and then pressed his wrists together, he began rubbing them... an odd sound was produced and the wall shot open a small door just large enough for him to fit through. Death walked in and down a dark cooridor which seemed to get smaller as he got further down it... finally the hall conformed to the exact shape of his body, it even ran between his legs, he walked through the hall like a glove... then reached a door shaped like him. he said "Rose Bud" and the door slid open, revealing a dark crevice... death leapt down into the darkness and some lights shot on... *insert freaky suprising music here* Death saw feilds.... litteral feilds... of machinary, robotics, planes, jets, spacecraft, death pounded his fists on the ground.... "AND NOT ONE GOD DAMNED QUADROLITHIUM BATTERY TO POWER A SINGLE ONE OF THEM!!!"

Death stood up and walked in between the menacing mecha... he then went up to a melee weapons vault...

"This gold jewlel-incrusted skimitar will do well with Alice... And Kimagure could really use this wand..."

Death pressed a jewel on the center of the head of the black wand and it split into three spikey parts, these started glowing blue and energy began gathering around the points...

"Tritan's phycho wand... and the Skimitars of Attraction... [img]smile.gif[/img] this will make them quite deadly in combat..."

He then looked around and pulled out a dusty spell book... "kima could use this too.." he then pulled out a stealth cloak... "and this can be for Flare..." he also pulled out a haliburt made of energy...

"mmm runs on solar power... yup that'll be fine... UNLIKE THE REST OF YOU!" death's booming voice echoed over his army of 'mechs...

>_<

there was a blaring sound...

"huh?"

A single fighter jet lifted up and flew to him.. it had a one passanger seat.... it was shaped like the letter V and had a gyroscopic cockpit... the menacing plane hovered in wait...

"you run off of oxygene don't you... No wait! now I remember, you're runo off of ATOMS themselves! you harnes any atoms and split them in your core, you have an onboard AI trained to respond to my voice... yes?"

The thing happily nodded in mid air...

"ah yes, my little X fighter... you are equiped for above ground and underwatever capabilites... how are you on space flight?"

The plane hummed cheerily... "FINALLY A WAY OFF THIS ROCK!"

He was about to jump into it and get away when he felt his new freinds ora...

"they miss me... oh my god... they atually are expecting me to come back..."

He started to feel a conflic of interest...

"Say X... are you fit for atmospheric reintry..."

it nodded "NO..." and made a low pitched beep....

"WELL THEN CRAP! there's no point in leaving a world if you can't get back onto it! This idea was worthless!"

The ship turned away disapointed.. "no wait... I realize that I need everything that I can ger..."

Death stashed a broadsword and a few extra things into his many pockets... "Alright! Lets Fly!"

The mayor of willow creek sat at his desk.. he began twidling his thumbs... he retured from his 'work' and then pounded his head against his desk.. "why... WHY... why... WHY..."

his door flew open... the sound of a humming engien was heard, a furriouse breeze from engiens blew into the mayor's office and some papers flew around the room, a shady figure then appeared from the light which was blocking the doorway...

"hello... brother..."

"HOW! Did you know?"

"i can read minds... afterall I know what everyone thinks..."

"your memory... has it returned completley..."

"Not entirely no... but I cetainly recognized you! I can't belive you faked your death just so you could retire from the Berserk-hiring business! look at alice! you've left the poor girl lost and confused..."

"I did the right thing... she is a rambunxiouse girl, though I don't like to admit shes stronger than me now, I didn't want her following my footsteps! She could have gotten herself KILLED if she hadn't seen me die!"

"hmm so then you erased your abilities from your mind, too up a guise as the mayor of a small town and now you sit here all day in a dark shack waiting for your time to run out..."

"I'm already dead... to the world I already am... you cannot raise the..."

"DO NOT MOCK ME!"

"Please, i thought you came to make ammends..."

"I realize that we now have a common foe... but you're no help! all you did was fight him and dissapear from the world, and for that you make me sick!"

"Don't take this battle too far Death-... it will get you killed..."

"...you care too much and do to little... love..."

"I'd like to see you do better, fate..."

"so that's my name... and occupation... well now I can say that all of my memory has returned... Where are my freinds..."

"they said something abotu Farlis, DON'T GO THERE! They don't need to get invoulved!"

"i'm going to ration everything I have, they will be trained, and I will train myself, once it is deemed fit, we willl do what is necessary for ballance to be kept..."

"YOU MUSN'T DO THIS!!!"

"I'm sorry to have to do this to you..."

Death left the mayor there... he flew off in the sleek black aircraft... the mayor looked up in the sky fearing to be shot where he stood... but death only left him there...

"... ugh... " the mayor then realized his fate... his fate was nothing... nothing but to sit there... and wait.... until hell froze over...

"too bad love is forever" death thought to himself as he began searching for the cooradanents of Falis...
