The entire group rushes their masters into the infirmary.

"PROMETHEUS!!! CAN YOU HEAR ME!?!?" asked Miguel.

Happy pushes their beds into the hospital, growling.

Anna, Jedan, Lord, Gerard, and Fred all follow after.

Athena grabs Prometheus' finger. "Pro..." she said, worried.

The nurses appear to handle him.

"What happened?" asked one nurse.

"Duel," said Miguel.

"*sigh...* I'm not surprised..." said the nurse. "Use one of those weird machines this man gave to our worlds."

"Can we stay with them when it happens?" asked Miguel. 295

The nurse stops them as the pair are charged into the rooms. "Patients cannot walk beyond this line," she points to the line on their feet and shuts the door. She enters the room and shuts it with metal doors.

"O.A. much?" asked Anna.

"I hope they're okay..."

3 weeks... later...

Miguel meditates beside the Reaper, who is in bed asleep.

Prometheus is in the bed across the Reaper's.

Prometheus... wakes up. "*GASP!!!* OH MY SHIT!!!" he roared. He gasped for his breath and stood up, shaking. "Where am I? Are my kidneys still-? Oh... They are. I could still wriggle them around in there. Miguel! ANNA!!! WIVES!!! CHILDREN!!! I'M A TERRIBLE FAAAADUUUUH!!!"

"Chill, Pro. The others are at home holding the fort down," said Miguel.

"Oh, thank God..." said Prometheus, tucking himself in. "Wake me up when somethin' important happens."

"Thank God he's awake now..." sighed Miguel.

Suddenly, the Reaper opens his eyes.

"Mr. Reaper? You're okay! Thank God as well..." said Miguel.

The Reaper ominously stares and looks forward. He slowly stands up. "YARGH!!! I BE FINALLY HAVE TAKEN OVER THIS BODY ONCE MORE!!!"

"Uh..." said Miguel. "Reaps?"

"Huh? Ah! You must be the Reaper's boatswain!"

"You're acting weird..."

"NAY, SONNY!!! IT IS I, CAPTAIN MORBIUS MORRBEARD!!! DEADLIEST JUDGE OF THE SEVEN SEAS!!! WARRIOR OF DARKNESS!!! YARRRGGGHH!!!"

"Uh... Okay..." said Miguel. "Wait... Didn't Reaps say he had another personality? Are you one of his identities?" he smiled.

"Yes, Sonny."

"Wow! Uhm... Nice to meet you, S-... I mean! Captain... When may I meet Mr. Reaper?"

"HmhmhmhmHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Oh, you don't get it, do ya, boy? He's NEVER COMIN' BACK!!!"

Miguel's eyes widen in horror.

"YARHARAHARHARHARHARHARHAR!!!"

Let's take a step back... 296

Back then, the Reaper lost his parents to an Aswang. Remember? Miguel's father. His parents were actually eaten right in front of him: Mauled to death and turning the Reaper slightly insane. Growing up from the age of 8 to 12, Reaps had no parents and was essentially under foster care, where he would be hurt and touched by the headmaster. Well... let's just say all that hurting and touching caused the Reaper to gain a defensive mechanism.
