Death

A figure comes out of the shadows, it is a man. He is dressed in all black from head to toe, he turns into an alleyway.

"So anyways," said a white guy wearing a black bandanna around his head, "I say,'Bitch' if you want me to stick around, get on your knees and put your mouth where it needs to go!"

"So did she do it?" asked a second white man in a black bandanna.

"Yeah, eventually!" said the first guy "Had to slap her around like a ho first!"

"I hear that shit!" said the second guy. He then sees the figure dressed in black walk down the alley. "Well look at this stupid motherfucker! Thinking he can enter our alleyway" he pulls out a handgun.

"Yeah!" said the first guy, as he pulls out a combat knife "Let's get that motherfucker!" The two men walk towards the figure in black, the figure stops in front of them.

"Listen asshole!" said the guy with the gun "I suggest you get the fuck out of our alley!" The man in black doesn't move. "Oh that's it!" yelled the guy with the gun, he aims it at the guys chest and pulls the trigger. The man in black just stands there. He walks up to the two men, grabs them by the neck and lifts them into the air. He tightens his grip on their necks, they try to struggle, both their bodies spasm and go limp. The man in black drops them to the ground and walks out of the alley.

"Ah come on, you fucking piece of shit!" yelled James as he hit the radio.

"What's wrong?" asked Laura

"Stereo isn't working!" said Jabo, as he turned the steering wheel and they entered a city.

"Please don't kill me!" cried a woman as she was thrown against a wall. "I'll give you anything, just don't kill me!" The figure in black picked the woman up by her neck, and slammed her against the wall. He tightened his grip, the woman made a choking sound and went limp. The person dropped the womans lifeless body, and began walking away from it. The Hummer drove by, as it passed the person took notice of Laura, as she came in full view, and disappeared.

***

Laura was walking through a dark alleyway, when she heard a noise. She turned around, and saw nothing. She continued walking when all of a sudden, a black cloaked figure jumped in front of her.

"What do you want?" yelled Laura. The figure said nothing, and continued coming closer to her. She tried to run, but found that she had no use of her legs. She pulled out a gun, and began firing at the figure. The figure brought its arms out of the cloak, there was no flesh on the

arm, just bone. In its hands, it held a sickle. It stood right in front of Laura, and raised the sickle into the air. Laura let out a scream as the blade came down....

She sat up in a cold sweat, she looked to her side and saw an alarm clock. The time was 2:00 AM.

Laura realized that she was in the hotel, she went to sleep.

"That's a pretty fucked up dream!" said Jabo

"Yeah, I know!" said Laura "it seemed so real!" The group decided to take a walk through the city. As they were leaving the hotel, Jabo picked up a copy of the paper that was sitting on a table. The headline read 3 MORE PEOPLE FOUND DEAD FROM UNKNOWN CAUSES. Jabo continued reading the

paper, and found that there were no suspicions of foul play, or the deaths being gang related.

"Damn!" said Jabo "This city has its share of problems." The group exited the hotel and started walking down the street. As they passed, a figure peaked its head out from the side of the wall. The figure was the man in black, he once again watched Laura until he could no longer

see her.

"Alright motherfucker!" yelled a guy in a black bandanna holding up a gun. "I don't know how you killed two members of my crew, but I'm gonna make sure you don't leave here alive!" The guy brought his gun up to Jabos head, and pulled back the hammer. James, Gordon, and Laura were

preparing to attack, when Jabo held his hand up.

"No!" Jabo said to the group "Let me take care of this." The group backed off, and stood by. "Now," said Jabo to the gang member "I really think you should take this damn

gun away from my face."

"No," yelled the gang member "I ain't gonna motherfucker, what are you going to do about it?" With a free hand, Jabo quickly pulled out his Samurai sword, and cut the guys hand off. The gang member fell to the ground, holding onto his bloody stump. "You cocksucker!" yelled the

gang member "When I get up, I'm gonna get my crew after ya, they're gonna fuck you up!"

"Shut the fuck up!" said Gordon, as he kicked the gang member in the chest, breaking his ribs. The gang member, yelled out in pain.

"Time to end this!" said James, as he pulled out a handgun, and brought it up to the gang members temples. "Oh!" said James "Say hello to Biggie for me!" James pulled the trigger, and the gang member fell to the ground with a puddle of blood surrounding him. As the group left, the figure in black walked up to the dying gang member.

"Oh thank god you're here man!" said the gang member, as he looked up. "Some people, just beat me, and shot me leaving me for death, ya gotta stop them!" The figure in black knelt down, and wrapped his hand around the gang members neck. "Hey, what the fuck ya doing?" yelled the gang

member in a choking voice. The figure in black tightened his grip and the gang members body shook and then went limp. The figure in black let go of the gang members neck, stood up, and walked away. After a while of walking, James pulled out a joint, lit it, and began smoking it.

"Ah!" said James "That's the shit I needed."

"Jeez!" said Gordon "Why do you bother smoking that shit, it smells like a fucking skunk!"

"The shit just be calling me! I gotta answer it!" said James. He took another puff, and looked up to see a figure dressed all in black standing in front of them. James looked over at Gordon "Who the fuck is this guy?" he asked. Gordon shrugged his shoulders. The man in black walked up to them. The man in black stopped right in front of Laura, and stared at her. Laura became frightened, as the man in black continued staring at her. Jabo moved in front of Laura, and met eye to eye with the man in black.

"Look buddy!" said Jabo "You got a fucking problem?" The man said nothing. "Look," said Jabo "stop staring at her and get the fuck out of here, or else I'm gonna take my sword and slice ya a new asshole!" The man in black put his hand on Jabos head, and threw him against a wall. He then

picked up Laura, and began running with her over his shoulder. James and Gordon picked up Jabo, and they started chasing after the man in black. They chased him through the streets until they reached a dead end alleyway.

"Looks like yer fucked now!" said Gordon, as he pumped on the shotgun. Jabo pulled out his Samurai sword, and stood in front of everyone.

"Let her go!" demanded Jabo. The man in black, wrapped his hand around Lauras throat and began choking her. Her body began shaking then went limp, the figure in black dropped her body. "LAURA!" yelled Jabo. The figure stood in front of Lauras lifeless body, and a smile crept across his face. "YOU MOTHERFUCKER!" yelled Jabo, as he ran towards the figure in black, sword in the air. When he got to him, he made a downward swipe with the sword slicing the figure at an angle. The flesh of the figure in black, fell to the ground, it being nothing more then a costume. Jabo looked up to see a figure wearing a black cloak, covering all its body. Two skeletal hands came out from under the cloak, the hands pointed at Jabo, then pointed at Laura, and finally pointed at himself. The cloaked figure, brought its hands down, and disappeared into thin air. Jabo and Gordon were speechless, when all of a sudden James spoke up.

"Man!" said James "This is some heavy shit!"

"What the fuck was that?" asked Jabo

"Well," said Gordon "it I didn't know any better, I'd think that was Death!" Jabo walked over, and knelt in front of Lauras lifeless body. He picked her up in his arms and walked back over to James and Gordon.

"So what the fuck are we supposed to do?" asked Jabo

"Not much we can do!" said Gordon "You can't very well kill Death!"

"Well, is there a way to get Laura back?" asked Jabo

"We could do that shit that Bill and Ted did in the sequel to their first movie." said James. Jabo looked over at James with a confused look on his face.

"WHAT?" said Jabo

"Bill and Teds Bogus Journey" said Gordon "they beat Death at some games, so he had to do what they told him."

"Well I ain't going to play any games with this motherfucker," said Jabo "If I find him, I'm gonna fucking kill him!"

"Jabo!" said Gordon

"What?" asked Jabo

"Didn't I just finish saying you can't kill Death?"

"Oh yeah!" said Jabo. He than brought his head up high. "DEATH!" yelled Jabo "IF YOU CAN HEAR ME, I CHALLENGE YOU!" The street where Jabo, James, and Gordon were standing went

dark. they then found themselves surrounded by death.

"Nice touch!" said Jabo

Jabo, James, and Gordon began walking around their new surroundings.

"Where the fuck are we?" asked James

"I think we're in purgatory." said Jabo

"Oh!" said James with a confused look on his face. As they continued walking, until finally they saw a figure standing there, waiting for them.

"Alright asshole!" said Jabo as he pulled out his Samurai sword. "This ends now!" Jabo lifted the sword in the air, and began running at Death. Death brought his hands out from under the cloak, he was holding a sickle. Death took a swipe at Jabo with his sickle, Jabo dodged it.

"Why is this happening?" asked James

"Power!" said Gordon

"Power?"

"Yeah," said Gordon "for centuries, Death has been taking peoples souls and bringing them to either Heaven or Hell. Now If you had that power, wouldn't you want to take and keep the souls of people, even if it isn't their time?"

"I guess..." said James as he watched the battle rage on between Jabo and Death. The battle became faster, with the clanging of sharp metal, occurring more frequently. Death would swipe his sickle downwards and Jabo would block it with the Samurai sword.

***

After close to two hours of battling, Jabo was showing signs of major fatigue. Death took a swipe at Jabos hand, and the sword and Jabos hand both came off. Jabo let out a painful yell, he stood up and made a dash for the sword and his severed hand. Death took a side swipe at Jabo, Jabo dodged it, and rolled right in front of his hand and sword. With his other hand, he removed the sword from his severed hand and got into a battle position. He made a mad dash towards Death, and stabbed the sword right through Deaths chest. Death fell to the ground.

"HOLY FUCK!" yelled James "Jabo did it, he fucking killed Death!"

"That's impossible!" said Gordon. Jabo pulled his sword out of Deaths chest, and began walking towards James and Gordon.

"WHAT THE FUCK GORDON?" yelled Jabo "I defeated and killed Death, why the fuck isn't Laura back?"

"Uh Jabo?" said James as he pointed at the area behind Jabo.

"What?" asked Jabo, as he turned his head and saw Death standing up. "Fuck!" said Jabo, he ran at Death and this time cut Deaths hand off. Death, with the loss of his hand and sickle, knelt down in front of Jabo. "Now," said Jabo "two things, number one, I want my hand back, and number two, I want Laura back!" Death nodded, and the whole place went black. When the darkness was gone, Jabo, James and Gordon were back in the street they were before. Jabo looked down, and saw that his hand was back. A small smile crept across his face. He heard moaning, and looked up. He then saw Laura walking towards him, a small tear rolled down his cheek.

"Man!" said Laura "What the fuck happened?"

"Long story," said Jabo "A long story!" They all walked over to the Hummer, and got in. Jabo started it up, and he turned on the radio. The deep voice of Johnny Cash could be heard through the speakers. The song "Man In Black" could be heard as the group exited the city, and drove

towards their next adventure.

The End
