"Mr. Reaper! Where's Miguel!?" asked Anna, seeing the Reaper walk into the sandy beach. "And WHY is the sand gone?"
"He's fine..." said the Reaper, walking away.
"Oh no! Did you guys FIGHT!?!?" roared Anna.
"Calm down..." Prometheus lands next to Anna. "We just had a little chat."
Miguel sighs. "Mr. Reaper, wait!"
"Reaps! Come on! You can't blame me! I mean... You can blame me! You can't blame the kid for his Dad's mistake!" yelled Prometheus.
"'MISTAKE!?!?'" asked the Reaper, walking back.
"What the hell happened!?" asked Anna.
"My Dad killed Reaper's Dad... And Mom..." said Miguel.
Anna, Jedan, Lord, Gerard, Fred, Athena, and Happy all gasp.
"HWAT!?!?" asked Jedan.
"GODDAMN IT, MIGUEL!!! STOP FUCKING TELLING PEOPLE!!!" roared Prometheus.
"Sorry..." Miguel bowed his head.
"Listen here, old man. You may have raised me... Turned me into the weapon I am now... But if you think that what they did to me was just an ordinary mistake-!" roared the Reaper.
"Listen. The real enemy is out there. I don't know who, but he's out there SOMEWHERE!!!"
"Oh, yeah? What if it's you? Hm?"
"Fucking EXCUSE YOU, BOY!?!?" roared Prometheus.
"What if YOU had my parents killed to create me!?" asked the Reaper.
"WHAT!?!? NO!!! THAT'S A TERRIBLE IDEA-!!! Well-... I'm not NOT considering it-..."
"UGH!!!" The Reaper claws his head and walks away.
"Kid. Wait. I love you, alright? But your parents were killed by someone very fucking powerful. Someone not even I know anything about. If you do something rash now, you could die!"
The Reaper flips him off and rockets away with flames from his fists.
"I THINK I KNOW WHO DID IT!!!" roared Prometheus.
The Reaper stops.
"I don't know his name, alright? But... He's a guy who can travel around mirrors... Dangerous guy. Could control water," said Prometheus.
"The Aswang King..." said the Reaper, landing before him. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"Reaps. Your ability is Eyes of Fire. His Kulam can not only beat even me. He could KILL you. I suggest we just don't touch him."
"Wait... The Aswang King is REAL!?!?" asked Miguel.
"Yes. He ordered your father to take his parents out or you die. I've been investigating him for years, Reaps. I was making sure he doesn't hurt you," said Prometheus.
"Why didn't you tell me!?" roared the Reaper, blasting flames all over his fire-proof armor.
"Because of that. Anger. You're too angry. I suggest we calm down and think before your head begins smoking up like a chimney."
"I'M CALM!!!" he roared so loud a shockwave occurred.
"No, you're not. Please. Do not touch him. He's something YOU DON'T... FUCK WITH..." said Prometheus. "Look... I'm sorry for lying to you-..."
"Did you have ANYTHING to do with this!?" roared the Reaper.
"WHY WOULD I KILL THE ALTERS OF MY PARENTS!?!?" asked Prometheus.
