Cody the Guardian of Hell

Chapter 5

The prizes consisted of a wide variety of prizes, from furniture, appliances, electronics, video game and arcade game consoles, video game and anime collectibles like figures or mint condition items, high-value weapons, musical instruments belonging to past musicians, and even vehicles.

"Uh, who wants to go first?" Cody asked.

"You're the golden boy, you should go first," Vortex said.

"I don't know, I think the girls should go. You know, ladies first and all that."

"Always the sweetheart and gentleman," Crymini complimented as she tickled Cody's nose with her nose and Loona rustled his hair.

"Let's see. Uh . . . oh man everything looks nice. Um," Loona spoke.

Blitzo was hollering for Loona to pick the demonic horse while Moxxie was yelling for her to pick a vehicle.

"Ok, I'll take the convertible car, the red and black one," Loona pointed.

The car was a demonic and badass version of a 1959 Cadillac Series 62 convertible painted in black with red flames.

"Ooh, excellent pick. That car is actually almost indestructible as it's bullet-proof, fire-proof, and can reach a top speed of 330 miles per hour. It has multiple gadgets like machine guns, rocket & missile launchers, turbo, grappling hooks, and a big electric zap gun. Makes James Bond's car look like child's play," Lucifer explained.

Loona picked a new smartphone and a demonic Kusari-Gama. Crymini picked a new bass guitar, wrist flame throwers, and a demonic dual sport motorcycle that had turbo like Loona's car, but only had machine guns like the Lawmaster bike in Judge Dredd, no rockets or missiles. It was still badass though. Vortex picked a homemade moonshine still kit, demonic gauntlets, and an autographed guitar sighed by Dimebag Darrell himself. Vortex was really happy with his third prize.

"And now finally, the boy of the hour. You pick three prizes of your own and you'll receive an additional prize from yours truly!" Lucifer announced.

"Okay, let's see," Cody hummed.

There was a nice refrigerator and Cody knew that I.M.P. needed a new one. Being the humble and selfless person he was, he picked that first.

"Okay, I'll take that big nice frig there for my friends at I.M.P.," Cody pointed.

"Thank you, Cody!" Blitzo and Moxxie praised.

"Really? BBBoooorrrrrriinnnngg," Lucifer sang.

"Alright, alright, for my second prize I'll pick that jet board over there," Cody said.

Lucifer looked and saw the one he was pointing to. It was a sweet round metal board similar to the one in Jak II & 3, but it could go fast and higher in altitude. However, since it was made for adults, it was the size of a big shield to Cody.

"That's much better. Now, last pick and make it a juicy pick my boy," Lucifer insisted.

"Hmm," Cody hummed while tapping his fingers on his chin.

As he browsed and eyeballed all the items, one of them caught his eye. A scythe. The blade was flawless and sharper than a dagger. The wooden staff was slightly curved with a small handle in the middle and a metal cap at the other end of the staff.

"Uh hey, what's with that scythe there?" Cody asked.

"Ooh, now that is a very interesting item. This, my dear boy, is the scythe of the Grim Reaper himself!" Lucifer answered.

"Whoa, wait, what?!"

"Yes, you see my good friend Azrael up in Heaven is one the few cool—" Lucifer gagged a cough, "angels. His the archangel of death. However, because there are so many people he can't be everywhere at once. So, he has a whole legion of grim reapers. This scythe once belonged to the head Grim Reaper himself."
