Sam stepped towards Death to defend his friend, but before he'd taken a single step, he was engulfed in a pillar of light. His eyes started glowing, and his hair and clothes floated up as if there were a source of wind rising up from below. When the light dissipated, Sam turned to face Death with a completely different look in his eyes than the usual carefree glimmer. Those were the eyes of someone who didn't fear death; someone who had no reason to.
"Sam...?" asked a female villager Sam had totally scored with while the others were busy fighting the UAA.
"Sam's not home," Death the Kid replied, speaking through Sam's mouth. He reached into his, or rather, Sam's bag and pulled out a gunblade, which he leveled at Death. "You!"
Code:
Ah. You're Shinigami's boy, aren't you?
Death asked, staring past Sam's physical appearance and recognizing Death's soul.
"That I am. And this thing we got going on right here; this is a matter of honour." Death dissapeared in a flash and reappeared behind Death, swinging his gunblade at Death's back. Death moved his scythe to block the blow, but Death kicked out and pinned Death's weapon, then slashed him across his spine. "You see how difficult it is, having two characters with the same name in a work of fiction? It happens in real life all the time, but when you're writing about it things get too confusing!"
Code:
Shut up, asshole! The only reason we have this problem is because you decided to possess Sam's body in order to do battle with me, and if you hadn't done that, we wouldn't need to fight in the first place! You're so stupid!
"No, you're stupid!" Death declared, pulling a small gun out of Sam's pocket and shooting Death in the skull with it, causing it to crack. Death roared and slashed at him with the blade of his scythe, which Death blocked with his arm. Death looked confused, and Death smirked. "I'm immortal, remember? Your scythe won't work against me!"
Code:
It may not work against [i]you[/i]...
Death muttered, grinning in as melevolent a way a skull can,
Code:
But that body of yours, as I recall, isn't quite so immortal...
And sure enough, Sam's body started to decay. Within thirty seconds, there was nothing left but a Sam-sized skeleton. Death's soul rose from the bones and opened his mouth to speak, but before he could say anything he dissipated into the air.
Code:
A worthy warrior, but at the same time, a bloody idiot...
Death murmured. He glanced down at Sam's remains and noticed a golden chain hanging around his neck. Death bent to pick it up, but before he could touch it, a shimmering figure burst out and punched him on the chin, knocking Death unconscious. As time passed, the soul became clearer and more distinct, until the heroes were finally able to make it out as Sam. Sam's soul glanced around for a vessel, and noticed the fresh body of one who'd fallen victim to Death, leaving no noticeable marks on the body. Sam flew into the body, getting to know his knew vessel, and raised himself to his feet. Oddly enough, this new body looked an awful lot like the old Sam, save for one major difference...
"Why the bloody hell am I a girl!?" Samantha G cried, staring down at her shapely new breasts.
