Reaper lands on the ground and then stands up. He looks up at Calypso's building. It's distorted and a purple fire circles at the top of the building. He walks towards the building with a purpose and a goal, to kill the monster who kidnapped his daughter. A projection pops up on the side of the building, and Heart of Darkness is seen in it.

"Welcome to my humble home, Reaper! I hope you like the view! I created it just like I created you!"

"You're still not my master."

"What the hell is wrong with you!? You used to be so loyal to me! You would do anything for the company!"

Reaper just stared at the project with a sneer on his face.

"I guess my 'heart' isn't in it anymore."

"Oh! Another heart joke! So original..."

Heart of Darkness rolled his eyes as Reaper can hear Jessica's voice in the background of the projection.

"Mommy! Mommy!"

"Shut up, you brat! God, I hate kids! Anyways, if you want to save your daughter-"

Reaper jumps up and uses his powers to reach the top of the building. He goes through the window of Heart of Darkness' office. Heart of Darkness turns around and sees Reaper. He shook his head at Reaper.

"Well, I so didn't see this happening!"

"Where's my daughter!?"

"Now, hold on! You didn't follow the rules of the game!"

Reaper was already sick of Heart of Darkness' bullshit. He's done with it, and he wanted him dead, now.

"I'm not here to play games. I'm here to kick your ass!"

"Nope! You have to climb the building before you can fight your master!"

Reaper looks at the window and back at Heart of Darkness. He gestured at the window.

"I just did..."

Heart of Darkness glares at Reaper. He shook his head.

"Touche, Mr. Jacobson; however, you have to climb the building the right way this time."

"Like hell I will!"

"Oh, you will."

Heart of Darkness snaps his finger, and Reaper gets teleported just outside of the building. Another projection pops up.

"Now, be a good minion and climb the building properly and pass the tests and then you can 'kick my ass'!"

Reaper jumps up to get back to where he was. As soon as his feet left the ground, he gets slammed to the ground.

"This is my world! You will obey my rules! Now, climb the goddamn building!"

"Fuck your rules!"

Reaper gets up and sneers at the projection. Reaper creates a large purple lightning orb. He throws it at the front door with all his might and destroys the door. He also destroyed most of the front lobby.

"So violent! I love it! That's why I like this guy!"

Reaper enters the building and looks around the lobby. He walks over to the elevator and pushes the button. The elevator opens up, and he enters it. The elevator goes up one floor and opens up. It was a dry land. Reaper shakes his head and pushes the elevator button but nothing happens. He clicks it a few more times until Heart of Darkness' voice rings through the speakers.

"Remember, you got to play the game to get to me."

"So, you expect me to climb a hundred story building with rooms like this? You know it'll take me a year to do so and do you really want Jesse with you that long?"

There was a long pause before Heart of Darkness replied to Reaper.

"Good point..."

The elevator starts back, and it stops on a floor. The door opens to a urban area that almost reminded Reaper of downtown where Luigi's is.

"But you will have to fight my generals before me though!"

"It'll be a good warm up before I kick you ass."

"Whatever floats your boat."

Reaper steps out of the elevator into an urban area. Reaper walks around the area.

"Once you defeat them, well if you do, just go to my my building. I will be waiting for you."

"Whatever."

Reaper continues to walk as three figures watches him from afar. Reaper knows they are there but acts like he does not know. One of them attacks from behind, but Reaper blocks the attach with his scythe. It was Shadow Blade, a very distorted Shadow Blade. It was like he was a hologram or if he was in a CRT tv. He was glitching and had the tv static look on him. Shadow Blade growls at Reaper. Reaper shoves him off and deflects a lightning orb. He looks up to see a distorted Dark Storm and Black Rose.

"Oh, this is going to be fun."

All three attack Reaper. Reaper attacks as well in a smooth flowing matter blocking and dodging the attacks. Reaper defeats Black Rose first. He holds the fake Magan in the air and crushes her neck. She dissipates into a black fog. He looks over to the distorted Dark Storm and Shadow Blade. He taunts the two of them to attack him. They attack him but they were no match. They were a much weaker form of their counterparts. Reaper slices Dark Storm in half vertically. Dark Storm stops for a second. He slowly starts to split in two and turns into ash before completely splitting into two pieces. Reaper looks at Shadow Blade. Shadow Blade turns and runs away. Reaper shakes his head. This distortion is like the original. He goes into a shadow and appears in front of Shadow Blade. He turns around to run away again, but Reaper cuts his head off. He catches the head and turns it to look at him. He smiles at the head before it disintegrates. Reaper puts away his scythe and walks towards Calypso's building. Six figures stand in the way of Reaper. there was two of Dark Storm, Black Rose, and Black Rose. Reaper looks up at the building.

"You didn't think it was that easy, did you?"

Reaper suddenly attacks the all and kills them gracefully. Reaper yawned a little before answering him.

"In fact, I do think it is easy."

"Devour! Attack!"

Reaper hears a deep growl. He turns his head towards the growl and sees a pair of purple glowing eyes. This creature looked like a hybrid of a Rottweiler and a Tiger. It was black with purple stripes on its body. Its fangs reminded Reaper of a Sabertooth Tiger but serrated. Devour lunges after Reaper, and Reaper slams it to the ground. It gets up and shakes off the slam. Reaper smiles at Devour.

"You're stronger than you look, Devour."

Devour growls and bares its teeth at Reaper. Reaper form dark purple lightning orbs and starts throwing them at Devour. Devour dodges the orbs thrown at it and pounces on Reaper. Reaper hold Devour at bay and keeps it from biting him. Reaper flips Devour off of him and forms his scythe in his hands. Devour lunges after Reaper again, and Reaper stabs it in midair and slams it to the ground. Devour lets out a yipe as it was slammed into the ground hard. Reaper's scythe disappears, and he looks up at the building with a smirk.

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

"Worthless animal!"

Reaper starts to walk away but stops himself. He turns towards Devour as it barely moves and breaths. Reaper looks at the tower. He groans as he walks to Devour. He was always a sucker for animals in need, even if they were trying to kill him. Devour barely growls at Reaper.

"Shut the hell up if you want to live!"

Devour falls silent as it pulls its ears back. Reaper heals Devour's wounds with his powers. Reaper stands up when he finishes healing Devour. Devour slowly gets up and looks at Reaper. Devour growls at Reaper and runs off into a dark alley.

"Yeah, you're welcome! Crazy animal..."

Reaper arrives at the building and looks up at it and back down at the front door. Reaper enters the building. Reaper finds himself in his own home. He looks around and sees in the mirror that he was his old self. He touches his face and where the scar was. It was weird not seeing it anymore.

"What the hell?"

Magan walks into the room and sees Reaper. She rushes towards him and kisses him.

"Welcome home, honey!"

"Honey?"

Reaper was in shock. What the hell is going on? Why was home and why was Magan here?

"Yes, silly! There's someone that's been waiting for you all day!"

Jessica peeks around the corner. Reaper cannot help but to smile. It was almost instinct that he did that. He just couldn't help but smile at Jessica. He kneels and opens his arms to her. She rushes to him and hugs him.

"Yeah, poor little Jamie's been waiting for you this whole time!"

"Jamie?"

Reaper asks cautiously. He definitely knows this is some Calypso fuckery here. Magan smiles at him warmly.

"Yes, Jamie. You know, your daughter?"

Reaper stands up and looks at "Jamie" and then at Magan. His voice turns back into Reaper's. His eyes turn into a purple flame and his scar forms back on his face. Magan grabs "Jamie" and hides her face.

"Stop, Asher! You're scaring Jamie!""

"I don't have a daughter named, Jamie. My daughter's name is... JESSICA!!!

As Reaper yells, the whole house shakes and eventually falls apart. Reaper breaths deeply as Magan and "Jamie" disappear. Heart of Darkness appears cursing at himself for the mistake.

"Shit, I knew that didn't sound right, but oh well."

Reaper suddenly grabs Heart of Darkness' throat with blinding speed. Heart of Darkness looks at Reaper as his eyes burn a purple flame and his scar glowing. Reaper squeezes tighter on Heart of Darkness' throat.

"Playing with my emotions!?"

"It's all part of the game!"

"I'm done playing your games!"

Reaper pulls back his arm and stabs his hand into Heart of Darkness' chest. Heart of Darkness acts in pain but then smiles at Reaper.

"What's the matter? Can't find something?"

Heart of Darkness disappears. Reaper looks at his hand.

"No... No heart?"

Heart of Darkness reappears and floats in front of Reaper.

"That's right! I gave up that old thing a long time ago! You see, for me to have all this power. I needed to get rid of the only thing that would hold me back...

"Your heart?"

"That's right! Smart lad!"

"Then why you call yourself "Heart of Darkness" if you don't have a heart?"

Heart of Darkness laughs at Reaper knowing that Reaper's main source of darkness absorption won't work on him.

"I do, but I don't! I have a heart but it's the darkness that's my heart. That's what I wanted from Asmodeus.

"Asmodeus?"

"Not important... Now, I have all this power! That's why I was able to create this tower and you! Plus, the generals that I made as well. And all I needed was that smart brain of yours to fix my formula to create my super soldiers! That's why I gave you most of my powers because of your loyalty!"

"And your plan is going to backfire on you!"

Reaper forms his scythe and attacks Heart of Darkness. Heart of Darkness dodges his attacks. Reaper cannot land a hit on Heart of Darkness. Heart of Darkness laughs at Reaper.

"What makes you think that you can defeat me in MY world!?"

Reaper slashes at Heart of Darkness, but it only goes right through him.

"I'm god here! You can't touch me! You're a part of me! You can't do shit to me!

"You're right..."

"I know that I'm right!"

Reaper smirks a little when Heart of Darkness. Something clicked in his head.

"You're right about me being part of you, and you're right about this being your world."

"Yes, I am!"

"And since I'm a part of you, that means that this is my world as well..."

A sudden realization hit him. Reaper could control his world as well.

"Yes! Wait... Shit! Don't you dare!"

Reaper give him a shit eating grin.

"Oh, I do dare..."

Reaper's eyes burst into purple flames as the world around them starts to change its form.

"NO!!!"

Reaper continues to alter the world into his favor. Heart of Darkness tries to stop Reaper but a bright light hits Heart of Darkness, and he cowards into the shadows.

"I'm going to kill you!"

"What are you waiting for? I'm right here."

Heart of Darkness charges after Reaper into the light. By the time Heart of Darkness gets to Reaper, he reverts back to Calypso. Calypso punches Reaper. It felt like a weak punch to Reaper. Reaper turns his head back to Calypso. Calypso realizes that he has turned back into his "human" form and looks up at Reaper.

"Oh, shit..."

Reaper smirks at Calypso. He knew that Calypso messed up big time.

"'Oh, shit' are the correct words right now."

Reaper cracks his neck as he starts to punch and kick Calypso. Reaper head butts him to the ground and kicks him back up. Reaper picks him up and slams him to the ground creating a crater in the process. Reaper picks him back up and punches him.

"Where is she!?"

"Go fuck yourself!"

Reaper knees him in the gut. Reaper yells at Calypso in a demanding tone.

"Where's my Jesse!?"

Calypso spits blood on Reaper's helmet.

"I'll never tell!"

"Mommy!"

Reaper glares at Calypso. Calypso rolls his eyes. He knew he should've duct taped that mouth of hers.

"I fucking hate kids..."

Reaper drops Calypso. Calypso falls to the ground on his ass with a loud "thud". Reaper rushes to where he hears Jessica's crying. Reaper rips open the door, pulling it off it's hinges. Jessica is in a dark corner crying. Reaper slowly walks to Jessica carefully trying not to scare her but failed. Jessica hides her face and whimpers as Reaper gets to her.

"It's okay. I won't hurt you, Jesse. I promise."

"No! You're scary like the bad man that smells weird! Go away!"

Reaper looks at his hands and feels his helmet. He takes off his helmet. Jessica looks up at Reaper. She cannot see him well. Reaper sees her squint at him trying to get a better look at him. He realizes that it is too dark so he snaps his finger and a light comes on. She covers her eyes until her eyes focus on Reaper's face. She recognizes him. She smiled widely at him. She couldn't believe that her daddy came to save her.

"D-Daddy?"

Reaper smiles at her. He couldn't help it. It was her for real this time. There was no Calypso fuckery here.

"So, you know me, eh?"

She quickly grabs him and cries on his shoulder. She did not want to let him go.

"Mommy shows me pictures of you everyday!"

"She does, huh?"

"Uh-huh..."

"Okay, well lets get back to mommy."

Reaper picks her up and walks out of the room while putting his mask back on. Calypso tries to ambush Reaper, but Reaper was ready. Reaper punches him in midair and slams him to the ground with one hand. Reaper heads towards the portal and goes halfway into it. Magan sees the two and rushes over to them.

"MOMMY!"

"BABY!"

Reaper gives her to Magan. Magan cries and looks at Reaper holding Jessica tightly.

"Thank you, Asher!"

"Hold that thought. I still got to deal with a 'god'."

"A... 'God'?"

Reaper goes back into the Shadow Realm and sees Calypso breathing heavily with his eyes purple as ever.

"What's wrong, Calypso? Pissed off because things didn't go as planned?"

"I've had enough! No more games! I will control this world and the real world!"

Calypso morphs into a more powerful form of Heart of Darkness. He was more shadowy and his face contorted. His face turned close to that of Validator from Spawn. Black fog oozes out from his maw. Reaper just stands there and watches the transformation.

"I guess the light isn't an issue anymore."

"No... But this world is in my control now!!!"

Heart of Darkness' mouth didn't move as he talked. He turns the Shadow Realm back to what it was before Reaper changed it. Heart of Darkness smiles at his world.

"Ah! Much better! Now, where were we?"

"The part where I still kick your ass!"

"Ha! Then go ahead and try to do so, minion!"

The both of them attack each other. They exchange blow after blow but none of them shows fatigue. With each blown made, the Shadow Realm healed the damage inflicted on the both of them. After a constant battle, they stop to catch their breath.

"This isn't working at all!"

"Nope..."

"But I know how to fix it."

Heart of Darkness drop kicks Reaper through the portal. Reaper slams into the wall as Magan and Jessica scream. Reaper looks at the two of them. He yells at them.

"Go! Now!"

Magan and Jessica run out of the room with no hesitation. As Reaper gets up, Heart of Darkness gracefully exits the portal and closes it.

"That was such a bothersome!"

"What was?"

"In the Shadow Realm, we kept on healing from the blows that we were doing that it was a stalemate in there!"

Reaper smirks at Heart of Darkness. He figured out the same thing. Except, he was willing to exchange blows for all eternity if it meant that Magan and Jessica was safe.

"I don't know... It looked like I was kicking your ass."

"ENOUGH!"

Heart of Darkness sends a shock wave that causes Reaper to fly back into a wall. Heart of Darkness walks up to Reaper and picks him up by the throat and squeezes.

"Oh, how the mighty hero has fallen!"

Reaper tries to talk but could not. Heart of Darkness loosens his grip on him.

"I'm sorry, what did you say?"

Reaper coughs before answering. Reaper saw something behind Heart of Darkness. He knew the tides have turned.

"Guess again!"

Heart of Darkness hears a growl. He drops Reaper and turns around to see Devour staring him down.

"How did you survive!?"

Devour attacks with lightning speed and bites Heart of Darkness on the neck. Heart of Darkness throws Devour down and grabs his throat.

"What the fuck!?"

"Yeah, I saved his life when you gave up on him."

Reaper tries to pet Devour, but it snaps at him.

"Okay, never mind... I also gave him some of my power in which gave him Black Rose's ability to poison her enemies."

"You son of a bitch!"

Reaper kicks Heart of Darkness in the ribs.

"I don't think so."

Reaper turns around and starts to walk away. He turns around and sees Devour urinating on Heart of Darkness. Reaper laughs at Heart of Darkness. Heart of Darkness yells out in a rage.

"Stupid fucking animal!"

Reaper and Devour walk out of the room and eventually out of the building. Magan and Jessica rushes to Reaper and hug him.

"Is he dead?"

"Not yet, but Devour poisoned him."

"Who's D-"

Magan screams as she sees Devour. Devour growls at Magan. Jessica runs up to Devour and hugs it.

"Puppy!"

Devour just rolls its eyes and snorts. Reaper glares at Devour. How could this animal let Jessica hug him but not let him pet Devour? He saved its life after all.

"Really? You let her hug you, but you won't let me pet you?"

Devour growls at Reaper. Jessica slaps Devour punishing the animal.

"Bad doggie!"

Devour does a quiet yipe. Reaper laughs.

"Looks like she knows how to tame an animal."

"Just like her mother."

"Like her mother?"

Magan almost kisses Reaper until a figure crashes near them.

"You two, stay here... Devour, protect the ladies."

Devour snorts at Reaper's orders. Reaper walks over to the crater. He looks in it but suddenly gets grabbed by the throat. Heart of Darkness comes out of the crater. Devour charges after Heart of Darkness. Heart of Darkness slams Devour to the ground. Jessica screams. She goes to Devour and lays on it. She starts to cry.

"Puppy, don't die!"

Heart of Darkness laughs at her. He loved it when she screamed. It almost gave him power.

"Poor little baby! Did the Boogie Man hurt your precious 'puppy'?"

Heart of Darkness laughs again but when he stops, he can hear someone else laughing. Reaper was laughing.

"What the hell you laughing for!? I should only be the one laughing!"

"Do you know where you are?"

"Yes! I am at my building! So, what about it!?"

"Look around you."

Heart of Darkness looks around him but does not see what Reaper sees. Heart of Darkness gets annoyed.

"I'm fucking out-"

Heart of Darkness looks around him again as the slow realization hits him.

"I'm out-"

Heart of Darkness turns pale as he sees that he was outside of his building at night and not protected from Asmodeus. He drops Reaper.

"Oh, shit..."

Heart of Darkness rushes towards his building, but a black flame blocks the entrance suddenly.

"NO!!!"

"Oh, yes."

Heart of Darkness quickly turns around to see Moloch standing there with his hands behind his back with a shit eating grin on his face.

"Hello, Calypso..."
