reencarnated (book one)

I don't want to die... again!! (-Mr. E)

I looked at the strange man, my eyes were still fuzzy.

"...what did you say?" I asked. I could hear him kick something in anger.

Ow, I think it was me.

Only a few seconds ago I thought I was dead, but here I was, alive.

"I said, your name is STUPID!" He roared.

That was rude.

"You don't even know my name!" I said, my words stumbled.

"Yeah you did, idiot." He said. "You said your name is mr. E."

"Yeah put that's not my name." I said.

My thoughts were a bit scrambled. I didn't know what was going on.

"Well who the hell are you?" He said. I shook out of my daze.

"Oof... my head." I muttered, sitting up.

I rubbed my eyes and looked around. I was in a dump, and standing in front of me was... Cryptor! Cryptor of the overlords evil nindroid army! Wasn't he dead..?!

Wait... wasn't I dead too?

"Is this the departed realm..?" I wondered.

"What? No?" He replied.

"Is this... hell?" I asked.

"No, it's-"

"Wait, there's no way this is heaven, not with you here." I thought aloud.

"YOU'RE NOT DEAD!!" He yelled. "I just revived you!"

I was taken aback.

"What..? Why!?" I asked.

"Well I was planning on gathering my army back up, starting with you, but you aren't one of my soldiers. You look like Zane." Cryptor said. "Who are you, then?"

"Uh, sorry. Just Mr. E." I replied. 

I looked down at his feet. My helmet! I jumped and rolled to grab it. I swiftly put it onto my head.

"!?ees uoy did hcum woH" I said. He glared at me, but took a step back.

"Oh, you speak backwards..?" General Cryptor muttered "See what? Also, can you just talk normal?"

I coughed and hit the side of the helmet, it fizzed for a bit.

"Can you hear me properly?" I asked. He nodded.

"It's got a weird voice changer." He muttered. "But it's better."

I sighed.

"Okay, listen, I'm not Zane. But I was made based on his design." I said.

"Ha! Me too." He said. "Uh... continue."

"Well anyway, I'm actually Zane's rival. But I was destroyed by my boss when I made the mistake of letting someone get away." I said. He kicked me, knocking me over.

"Really? Zane's rival..?" He laughed. He pressed a stiff foot down on my chest, threatening to break me. "Boy, do you have big shoes to fill. And I don't take too kindly to being replaced either."

"Wait, I'm not anymore!" I said. He was made of much stronger material, it was hard to keep him from bashing my chest in. "I'm not anymore, anyways. Maybe I can help you take revenge on Zane, h-he-... he killed you right..?"

He scowled.

"True. Fine, help me get back to my feet and I'll spare you." He smiled, removing his foot.

He held out a hand, I went to grab it but he pulled away.

"Haha!" He laughed to himself. He then grabbed my shoulder and pulled me up himself.

"So what's a nindroid got to do to bring back his army?" He asked.
