"These things came from the afterlife, did they?" He thought before letting out a laugh. This couldn't be easier for him. He thought that Barbara must be lucky that he had came along. Not too many could have an experience with such out of body movements. The afterlife, however. Well, it was a different place. After all the times he had been there, where were the Hoodlums. He had never noticed any. The bugger buzzed off to do something the reaper was not entirely prepared for causing him to take a step back. Nothing of this scale had challenged him in a long time. He was sure going to enjoy this. And if he survived this, he could always go visit them in the afterlife, and relive the experience over and over again...

Taking hold of his scythe, he spun it around a few times in his left hand before slamming the end of it into the ground and pointing forward with his right, advancing towards the beast.

"I'll be sure you are put where you belong!"

Hood Sickle took charge, running straight for the beast, wanting to get first strike.  His thirst for mayhem was strong.  Strong as the fires of the Underworld as they were burning, telling Hood Sickle to "Bring them back" in an intoxicating tone.  The red eyes of the reaper trailed off into the cave like a train rolling through a tunnel.  Approaching the foot of the beast, he pulled back his scythe with it exploding into flames.  "Time to cut you down to size."  He taunted before slicing the air in two.

Not satisfied yet, he pulled back again.  The scythe was swung at the root of the beast again.  He wanted to see this monstrosity fall before him.

Just before the monster could lay a monstrous hand on the duo, Hood Sickle managed to do a good enough attack on the monster, causing it to yell in pain, which is the only thing it could do now on this form. "Wow, it's so powerful the hoodlums lost there power to speak, talk about creepy." Barbara said as the monster summoned two orbs and threw them down to the duo exploding on impact.

"Incoming orb!"

"Argh!" Barbara said as she was launched to the nearby wall and hit face first before falling on the ground, the monster soon summoned a dark lazer and shot it at the duo.

This time however Barbara managed to get out of the way and launched herself towards the monster, planning to swing her axe at it.

That's what he liked to see.  He drew his weapon back and listened to the sweet scream of pain.  "Hehehe," he laughed, "that all you got?"  He question was answered in the from of an orb.

Hood Sickle stumbled back from the explosion.  He kept his weapon firmly in both hands and waited for the smoke to clear.  The haunting laugh of the reaper continued.

The reaper was prepared and teleported away from the laser.  He leapt towards the monster and slashed at it again.

The monster dodged both attacks from Hood Sickle, unaware that Barbara was about to fire back with her own attacks with her axe. "Your almost down Andre, hopefully this will finish your off!" Barbara said as she jumped towards the monster and tried to finish it off with her axe.

"Face the mighty viking!"

Barbara managed to land a good hit on the hoodlum, however he managed to dodge two of her attacks. The monster roared and made a charge towards Hood Sickle, planning to grab him while Barbara chased after the monster. "Hood Sickle, lookout!" Barbara said as the monster turned and tried to slash her twice.

Hood Sickle wasn't prepared for the monster's sudden swift hands.  The monstrous appendage managed to wrap itself around the reaper, constraining the executioner as if his claws were a prison.  Hood Sickle did not like prisons.  Not at all. 

His scythe was bent back against him, pressing his arm into an uncomfortable position against his chest, causing his jolt in the monster's claws.  He growled, thrashed, and kicked, doing anything he could to get loose from his current prison.  It was of no use.  The grip was too much for his own strength, as strong as he may be.  Refusing to believe that he could be held down by such a brute of the Underworld, he continued to bark and growl, jerking his body quickly as he could as if he were a bat out of hell. 

"Grah!  You mind cutting me loose!?"  The reaper yelled, his voicing posing the question to both.

"NO!, DHBIWGWVSGHALOS!" The Creature said as his hands slowly closed in on Hood Sickle, however before anything could happen Barbara stood on top of a rock. "I guess it's time to use my everlasting power!" Barbara said as she charged towards Andre. "Time for you to meet your maker hoodlum!" Barbara said as the creature was confused. "Whatbut---However before it could finish, Barbara punched it up into the air before jumping towards it, the creature let go of Hood Sickle before Barbara started her final smash.

As she began her attack on the creature.

After finishing her attack, Barbara grabbed the creature and threw it into the ground below, the creature exploded causing an army of lums to fly out of the newly created smoke and out of the cave they were in, the only hoodlum who remained was Andre who stared up to Hood Sickle. "What, you think i'm scared of you, I don't think so!" Andre said as Barbara replied.

"No, BUT YOUR SCARED OF ME!"

And thus Barbara landed above Andre, crushing him and finishing him off as she looked back at Hood Sickle. "Welp, we finally killed Andre and prevented mass destruction and a third outbreak of Hoodlum madness, even if I killed an innocent lum in the process." Barbara said as she started to walk out of the cave.

"Let's go, friendly reaper."

However upon leaving the cave, Barbara would witness dozens of Pokemons looking at her before bowing down to her as she scratched her head.

"This is weird."

The reaper met the ground with a heavy thud.  His weapon clanked down not far from him.  He looked over at it.  The dead pole laid quiet without its master's touch.  He turned his hood back to watch the beating the creature was receiving from Barbara.  A laugh left him as he found every hit she made impressive.  That thing was at the mercy of her now. 

"Heh heh..." He snickered, enjoying the sight before him.

And like the saying went, the Hoodlum monstrosity fell hard, breaking the ground beneath it.  Hood Sickle didn't move an inch as he remained quiet before giving a small hand, applauding her while a shower of devil bugs littered the area.  The last, the one named Andre, spat an insult at him which he returned back with a piercing glare.  A shift of the eyes revealed Barbara crashing down in front of him, crushing the bug beneath her heel. 

"Hood job."  He snickered again, standing himself up right and setting his gaze upon her. 

He didn't feel quite satisfied with hearing that, although his lack of facial features would most likely leave that expression absent.  "So... That's it?  Just one of these things and a plague is gone?"  He crossed his arms.  Andre didn't seem so innocent to begin with and  sheesh, back where he was from, there were wars fought before darkness could be cleared.  Then again, he wasn't quite sure where the darkness could be now that everything had exploded.  The job's done at least.  He made sure to grab his scythe on the way out.

The over-abundance of lively critters was a slight bother to him.  Here as he was still ready to brawl and there was plenty of punt-worthy material standing before him.  He couldn't do that though as these Pokemon things were hiding out here and didn't want to get hit with an onslaught of fire blasts and thunder bolts.  The darn things packed a punch from what he heard.  He quietly observed them, bowing towards Barbara.  Yeah, yeah.  Big woop.  She did good-- for a mortal.

"Thanks, your not as bad as I thought too Reaper." Barbara said to Hood Sickle as she looked at the pokemon bowing down to the duo. "We should go now...To that weird bubble thing over there." Barbara said as she looked towards it before looking back at Hood Sickle. "I'm going to check it out, now that Andre's dealt with, I won't have to worry about Hoodlums taking over this strange planet." Barbara said as she spoke to Hood Sickle again.

"But I guess we'll see each other again Reaper!" Barbara said as she started to run off from the cove, as she kept running she turned back towards Hood Sickle.

"SEEYA!"

END OF MISSION!

He listened while watching over the weird critters still worshiping them.  He might as well head back to the Sphere too.  Nothing else to do here than maybe go back to the hot springs inside.  Looking back towards the gaping black maw of the cave, he wasn't quite sure of it now.  The threat was gone and shouldn't be dangerous to hang out inside seeing as the Pokemon had been hanging out here for the longest time but being alone at this point didn't sound too safe.  This place was far from the Sphere and who knows what could happen if he stayed out here too long.

Hood Sickle watched as she ran off towards the bubble in distance.  The reaper didn't respond but instead watched as she shrunk, vanishing from his vision.  He glanced down at the critters once more as they watched the two leave, soon to go back to the cave.  For moment, he paused, tightening his grip on his scythe before heading back home, a heavy foot each step of the way, where he could reap his reward then dive back down into the familiar shadows.
