Chapter 303: The Dark Pethrow (2)

Richard grabs his chest and his wound starts bleeding again. Antonio goes to him and says "Don't move too much, my healing is not nearly as good as Michael's you know?" Richard says "That's what i was gonna ask, where's Michael?" Antonio says "he said he wanted to stop fighting for some time, i guess him having to fight with Saa Jo'oh again really traumatized him." Richard says "Oh well. After all he was really upset after Future Antonio's sacrifice" 

Richard lays down on the bed and Antonio starts asking him questions. Antonio says "Ok Xavier, tell me how are you alive" Xavier says "5 years ago when Richard fired that massive energy blast at me in the tournament i thought i was for sure dead, and it turned out so, but before i knew it i was in a really strange place with orange skies and harsh weather." Antonio says "Mhm, continue" Xavier says "I immediately realized i was in the Otherworld. That dimension where you either fight for your freedom or go straight to hell, also known as the Netherrealm."

Xavier continues "i wanted to fight for my freedom, so a man named Ryan showed up and made me go through the Undead Trials, it's basically a series of intense challenges that almost no one has ever completed, if you complete it you regain your freedom and you are brought back to life, it was different for me though." Antonio says "How so?" Xavier says "I could not complete them, i was sure i would be sent to hell but Ryan made a deal that i couldn't refuse."

Xavier continues "He told me that he can resurrect me on one occasion. Only if i agreed to become a warrior in his army for eternity. I was so desperate back then that i agreed, and i learned one thing in those 5 years... I should have stayed dead"
