Reaper stands up straight from a leaning position. He is disgusted by the way things were with him. The only thing on his mind now, is to kill Calypso and to get rid of his old self.

"That's my story but that story is about to start anew with the death of Calypso Hart!"

Reaper jumps off a building and into a shadow. Civilians gather around the shadow wondering what was the thing that went into the shadow. One person steps into the shadow but nothing happens. The civilians let out a sigh of relief. Reaper's voice came out of the shadow he just went into. His voice sounded like it was salivating.

"I smell the darkness in you!"

The guy that stepped on the shadow where Reaper was looked down as Reaper's hand comes out of the shadow and grabs him by the head. Reaper pulls the guy halfway into the shadow as the guy screams. The guy stops screaming as his body goes limp. More people gather around the shadow wondering what had just happened. Reaper jumps out of the shadow. He lands on the sidewalk and looks over at the people looking back at him. They saw the blood around Reaper's mouth. The people ran in terror not wanting to stick around anymore. Reaper wipes the blood off his mouth. A police car pulls up and two cops comes out of it with their weapons drawn. Their hands were shaking but kept most of their composure as one of the police men says.

"FREEZE!"

Reaper just glares at the police daring them to do something. He turns away from them and starts to walk away from them. He wanted nothing to do with the police. One of the shoots near Reaper on the ground.

"He said 'freeze', motherfucker!

The other cop looks at the cop that shot at Reaper in horror. He couldn't believe that he shot at someone again. He couldn't handle another investigation about his partner again.

"You need to stop doing that. I don't want to get investigated again."

"Yeah, so what? You aren't going to-"

Reaper grabs the cop by the throat and lifts him in the air. He could smell the darkness in his heart. His mouth was almost watering from the amount of darkness lurking inside of this cop. It was almost poetic that he found this cop, or this cop found him.

"There's a darkness in you... I most have it!"

Reaper rips out the cops heart and takes a bite to absorb the darkness. The darkness was absorb through his mouth like before. The other cop shoots Reaper in a panic thinking that he too was going to suffer the same fate as his partner, well, ex-partner. Reaper grabs his throat. Reaper looks into his eyes. He then sniffed the cop and shook his head. He seemed almost disappointed.

"No... There's no darkness in you."

Reaper lets go of the cop's throat. The cop falls on the ground. Reaper walks away from the cop. The cop calls for back up in a sputtering mess which the dispatcher asked the cop to repeat his radio traffic. Reaper goes into a shadow undetected as he could hear more police sirens on the way. It seemed like other cops understood the sputtering mess of a cop over the radio and was on their way. Calypso is seen meditating. It seemed like he was trying to locate Reaper. From all the darkness Reaper was absorbing, he finally found him. Calypso opens his eyes from the revelation. They were purple, and he smiles. He can finally get his "pride and joy" back.

"There you are... I finally found your ass... Dark Storm!"

The sound of electricity is heard as it gets louder until it reaches Calypso. The electronics and lights in Calypso's office start to flicker and almost losing power. Thunder is heard as Dark Storm shows up in a lightning bolt but kneeling. Calypso rolled his eyes. Why was he always like this? Always so flashy and trying too hard to impress others.

"Yes, master?"

"I found your 'friend', Reaper."

Dark Storm looks up as red lightning covers his eyes as he clinches his fist. He was pissed. How dare Calypso say such a thing to him. He hated Reaper for what he did to him months ago.

"Don't you dare call him my 'friend'!"

Calypso gets up and looks at Dark Storm evilly. This was the first time in a while Calypso could feel such power coming from Dark Storm. He was almost happy that there was still a spark in him.

"Or what? You going to abandon your master like you close 'friend'?"

Dark Storm's demeanor changed quickly. He was reminded who was the person in charge.

"No, master... I didn't mean..."

"Mean to what!? Question me!? Defy me!? Or..."

Calypso morphs into Heart of Darkness. He unleashed his power as black fog start to fill the room. Dark Storm's eye widen at the sheer power that Heart of Darkness was displaying before Dark Storm.

"... Challenge me!?"

"No, master! Nothing like that! I would never do such a thing!"

Dark Storm was shaking. He was terrified at what he was seeing. He did not want to challenge Heart of Darkness.

"You better not... Anyways, I found Reaper. Go and get him. And don't fail me like Shadow Blade."

"Never..."

In a flash of light, Dark Storm vanishes as there was a thunder clap heard from his departure. Heart of Darkness looks out his window. Without turning around he says. His voice sounded annoyed like he had this conversation from before. He clinched his fist. He hated people sitting at his desk.

"What have I told you about sitting at my desk?"

The figure turns the chair around. It was Black Rose. She had a smile on her face. She just loved to tease Heart of Darkness. She liked to see his expressions when she did that. She always wondered how far she could push her teasing.

"You know that you love it when a woman sits at your desk. A sexy woman at least."

"Not when it's MY desk!"

Black Rose clicked her tongue. He was always a spoiled sport when he was this pissed. She waved her hand at Heart of Darkness.

"Babe, you are no fun at all."

Black Rose walks up to Heart of Darkness. She ran her index finger in circles on his cloak trying to be alluring.

"Why don't you let me kill Reaper?"

"Because I don't want him dead. I want him reprogrammed. He's the key to my success!"

"What are you planning, big boy?"

She starts rubbing Heart of Darkness' cloak trying to seduce him further. He pushes her away. He knew what she was trying to do. She was a tease after all. He smiles at her.

"I will never kiss and tell."

Black Rose leans up to Heart of Darkness and almost kisses him. She stops inches from his monstrous maw. She seductively says.

"You sure about that?"

Heart of Darkness kicks her away and laughs at her. He was getting tired of her trying to get her way with him.

"Oh, I am very sure! I cannot be seduced by a succubus like..."

Black Rose stomps her foot to interrupt Heart of Darkness. She wasn't having none of that. She hated being called a "succubus". She wasn't a whore.

"Don't you dare!"

"Oh? Someone a little touchy on the subject?"

Black Rose tears up. Even though she hated being called a "succubus", there was only one person that could get away with calling her that but he was dead. She couldn't bare to be reminded of the fact that he was dead now.

"Shut up!"

"It's not my fault what happened. I mean, it was a freak 'accident'."

"I said SHUT UP!!!"

Black Rose screams as she turns into black rose petals and flies away. The black rose petals looked like that had water on them signifying the sorrow and pain Black rose was feeling at the time. Heart of Darkness chuckles. He won this little battle of theirs.

"Women... They are so easy to manipulate."

"Oh, we are, are we?"

A voice called out to Heart of Darkness. He turned around and saw a feminine figure sitting at his desk. He clinches his fist again.

"Why does everyone want to sit at my desk! It's MY desk!"

The feminine figure giggled at Heart of Darkness. She loved it when he was pissed. It arouses her. She loved giving all kinds of pain to other people whether it be physical or psychological. The one person that she wants to inflict the most pain was Reaper himself. She gave Heart of Darkness a coy smile.

"Oh, I want him so badly Hearty. Can I please have him?"

Heart of Darkness' eye twitch. He hated when she called him that. It was disrespectful and demeaning.

"I have no time for games Twilight Mistress."

The feminine figure stood up from the chair and came into the light. She had purple hair with a streak of blonde hair in it. Her eyes were cold as ice. Despite her dark demeanor, her eyes were bright but lifeless. She stretched her fingers. Her nails were sharp as razors that could slice through skin and bones with a single swipe. Her outfit was barely there hinting at an alluring body that had thorns that came with it. A man would be a fool to be enticed by her body and words. She's like a black widow after all.

"Oh, you have plenty of time with me. Why don't you let me have some fun with Reapy?"

"It's not the time for that yet."

She lets out a fake pout and purses her lips. She crosses her arms.

"Don't make me wait too long, or I might have to use that one employee for my pleasure."
