19.) Aiyama.

ZeeArc, a tall God whose origins were based around Annihilation and its sub abilities. He was pretty ripped with a bulky frame that was slimmed down through skills and technique training. His hair was blonde and spiked up in a wild manner. He had a layed back look that was used as a facade to hide his bloodlust. He liked to wear his family's famed Annihilative trench coat. Which covered a pretty long yet plain white t-shirt. His black pants were baggy and suited for combat of the highest degree. He carried a fan that had his family crest etched into its center. 

ZeeArc: "Aiyama, huh? Well, idk what the stance is on it yet. Because Tristan is family, he's allowed to at least assist in his revival. But NO ONE is allowed to interrupt Death and Haydes' rematch. NO ONE!"

Kishin: "I'm well knowing of that brother Zee. What I want to know is, is Aiyama getting a family pass as well considering Amiyama's goal?"

ZeeArc: "Not too sure, Zenki wouldn't tell me what him and the rest of the Four had decided. All I do know is that Aiyama's presence completely shifts the tide of battle heavily. He's an Annihilo Sect member who was once a top-class assassin. As well as being the next King of the Grand Phoenix Empire. He's definitely trouble all around."

Dwayne: "Wait, wait, wait… Aiyama? As in, the original partner of The Serpent Killer!?"

ZeeArc: "Yes. He was the partner of the Slith Sirpentosh. Slith is most known for his betrayal of the Serpent Sect of the Assassin Corps. He went about killing 6 generations of that same sect before Lady Meenahs, the current leader, had taken over."

Zo'Elgor: "I never understood why he had done such a thing when it had seemed as though he'd be picked to lead."

Kishin: "Aiyama told me the story. I'll tell y'all a little about Aiyama and Slith's past together. It's quite the story, honestly."

While Kishin says this, he begins to emit an ominous face that says it's truly the tale to behold. As if the story itself is pure evil from what unfolds. 

Dwayne: *GULP* 

ZeeArc: "Do tell us the tale, Sir Kishin."

Kishin: "Well, it was a little more than 6,000 years ago when Aiyama and Slith were first partnered up to begin their missions. *FFFFFWISH* Aiyama was only 2 years into being an assassin, and he had already gained top class within the Serpent Sector. At the same time, Slith was barely on, his third week. Just a newby finally joining the front lines. But what better partner to have than the prodigy himself. Slith was in great hands."

Slith: "So just what kind of mission will we be taking on first, Sir Morg."

Morg(Aiyama): "We've been assigned the mission of eliminating a mass murderer known as KinJoe The Galaxy Smasher."

Slith: "Ah, I've heard of that one. He's quite the destructive force, but back when I first heard of 'em, he was only a solar system buster. Quite the improvement."

Morg: "He'll still die like all the others. Please try not to hurt, and I'd prefer you kept up. 5 minutes or less, no more than that."

Slith: "Ah, ok, I understand Sir.(Did this bastard just say 5 minutes to finish off THE Kinjoe?! He's crazy.)"

Later on in universe 32, on a planet known as Gohdra III. That planet, nor its solar system, exists in today's time.

Slith: "Haaaaaaa!!!"

Kinjoe: "N-ngh! You bastard!!!"

Slith: "Your blows mean nothing when they're this goddamn slow Kinjoe!"

Kinjoe: "Oh? Do you think so, do yaaa!?"

Morg: "No. We know so."

Kinjoe: "Huh!? (When did this brat get behind me!?)"

*STAB*

Kinjoe: *Gahck* "Y-you… BASTAAAARRD!!!

Slith: "Drop the bravado, you're done for! Venom: Body Destroyer."

Kinjoe: "Gyaaaaaaaa!!!"

Morg: "Hmmph!"

Morg uses a fire engulfed fist to rip through Kinjoe's stomach as he pulls out his hand. Then Slith proceeds to sever all of Kinjoe's limbs. Yet Kinjoe still lives.

Kinjoe: "You bastards don't know!? I can… REGENERAAAAATE!!!"

Slith: "What!?"

Kinjoe: "I can be ripped to shreds and gushing blood as I am now! And it wouldn't mean a damn thi-

Morg: "I know you can regenerate. You're so confident in it that you didn't notice i placed a flame blessing on your eternal cell."

Kinjoe: "Huh… what? When did you…?"

Slith: "Ah, I'm a fool. I didn't even notice."

Kinjoe: "What!?"

Slith: "You haven't been regenerating even a little bit, you fool."

Kinjoe: "NGH!{Th-that bitch is right. My eternal cell is completely burned and my life force is draining fast as shit!)"

Slith: "Guess I shoufd…"

Kinjoe: "Huh!?"

Morg: "Ahh…"

Slith within that of a centisecond, rips both Kinjoe's heart and brain out. Crushing them as he pulls out. Kinjoe goes black right after as the rest of his body's blood is flooded out. 

Morg: "I'm highly impressed with your performance Slith. Let's dispose of this scum's remains, shall we?"

Slith: "Yeah. I can dispose of the body if you can dispel the soul."

Morg: "Hmm. Flames…"

Slith: "Dominator's...""

Slith & Morg: "MENACE!!! 

Kinjoe's body instantly burned to a crisp as his soul was trapped in a sphere of domination particles. Slowly suppressing the soul as its cinged if it dares try and burst through. The sphere is sent to Death directly.

Kishin: "From that mission on. They were the perfect pair. Never failing a mission and never taking longer than 5 minutes to complete one."

Dwayne: "Seems as though those legends were true. So where did the depravity start?"

Kishin: "It began when Slith was bitten by the Cosmic World Serpent by chance during a mission in universe 300."

Zo'Elgor: "That's the Serpent Kingdom's domain."

ZeeArc: "Yeah. That'd explain the Appearance of such a rare and powerful Versatian Beast."

Kishin: "Yeah, but after that mission was completed…. Slith began to changed drastically and fast. His actions became fueled by malice and the most vile of thoughts."

Morg: "Slith! What is this about buddy!? What happened to you!?"

Slith: "I've been bitten by the damn Cosmic World Snake!"

Morg: "Whaaat!?"

Slith: "My mind is corrupt Sir. I can no longer fight it. The creature that bit me is far above me Sir, my mind and soul couldn't fight the venom from the get go. I'm sorry. I couldn't stop this."

Morg: "N-ngh! I didn't know all this time. *SOB* But this is…. This is too much! Damn!! I'll kill that damn serpeeeeent!!!"

Morg, with tears in his eyes screamed at the top of his lungs. As he kneeled before the fallen bodies of his faction's comrades and a beaten Slith who had just retreated. 

Kishin: "Morg couldn't bring himself to bring down his pupil Slith. They'd become best friends and with the fall of t more generations of his sect. He couldn't hold the guilt ans retired. He's vowed to either kill the snake or kill Slith. Whoever crosses his path first."

ZeeArc: "So that's why Aiyama acts that way now. That's pretty tragic to hear. I've fought Slith before… the guy's pretty damn powerful. Aiyama is still above him though."

Kishin: "Right. Aiyama's gotten close to killing Slith quite a few times. Slith is just… fucking good at escaping. A true snake through and through."

Dwayne: "No kiddin'."

ZeeArc: "I wouldn't be surprised if he gets the family pass since her cause is so righteous. She's speeding up the natural rebirth of Death."

Zo'Elgor: "What do you mean "speed up the rebirth"?"

ZeeArc: "You see, Death's 2 halves are naturally resonating with one another. At the rate its increasing, they'll be fused back into death by the time 25 days pass. But if Amiyama can remind them of who they are. Then they'll return to Death right then and there. She attacks in 2 days, and I'm hoping she succeeds."

Kishin: "Well Amiyama is damn near a 14.5 on the scale now. My brother's still only a 12 for now. Her skill has always been on par with the likes of me, Death and ZeeArc."

ZeeArc: "Yeah and if it's sped up im that fashion then the gates will gather quicker than ever before."

Zo'Elgor: "What gates do you refer to?"

Zeearc: "Well they are referred to as the gates of Morzick. There's Vashjai The Famine, Kishin The Plague, Haydes Of War, the 2nd generation Strife Morpheus and Death. They make up the 5 gates of Morzick."

Dwayne: "I'm guessing this'll be the first time they're all together since Morpheus was born during Death's disappearance."

Kishin: "Yeah, you're correct. It'll be quite the spectacle to behold indeed."

Zo'Elgor: "I guess there's no way to stop Death from meeting Zoshen."

ZeeArc: "Why would you say that… no. What makes you say that?"

Zo'Elgor: "Well that's simple really. You see, Zoshen is quite good friends with that of Morpheus. They've been friends since they were 5 and they're both 15 now. It would be hard to imagine Zoshen letting Morpheus go to the battle alone. Especially considering it's his first day at D Drag Academy tomorrow."

Kishin: "Damn. That's right, it's your nephew Silvio's first day at Warren War-men's Academy tomorrow. Tch! I think he might be right ZeeArc."

ZeeArc: "God-dammit. What bad timing this is. Death is very persistent when it comes to things like this. He'll convince Zo no matter what."

Zo'Elgor: "I'm having trouble understanding why Death would want my younger brother so badly."

ZeeArc: "Because Zo'Elgor. That boy, your younger brother Zoshen…. Has that rare study that possessed him upon birth."

Zo'Elgor: "But ho-"

ZeeArc: "No need to worry how we know. The sudden change in stature amongst we gods shifted when it possessed him. With a body made of dragon scales of royal stature, that study has found the perfect host."

Zo'Elgor: *Gulp*

It seems as though the meeting they dred will come to pass. As Amiyama and her forces prepare to move, everyone prepares for a sped up rebirth of their beloved Death! 25 or fewer days remain until Death's revival!!!
