Chapter 7

Skipper arrived at the ngome where everything was flipped upside down. Instead of being on the floor, he was on the cleaning, and everything was on was the floor was now above Skipper. He was still in the kiti cha enzi room so he will have to figure out a way to get to the dark priest. But then he saw a penguin, auk with the same outfit he was wearing. Skipper ran to the penguin, and when he got closer he saw his face. It was his face. It was Skipper! A clone of Skipper has been made, obviously to take the real Skipper’s place and be evil. Skipper took out his sword, and the evil Skipper took out his sword and shield. The real Skipper’s eyes widen as he saw the sword and shield his clone was holding. It was his family sword and shield!

Skipper knew this battle wouldn’t be easy, especially since he didn’t have his shield. He had to leave it behind due to the fact it was too badly damaged. Clone Skipper’s eyes glowed red in evil, ready for battle. Both Skippers’ charged at each other, attacking one another with their swords. Both Skippers’ hacked their swords at each other at the same time, both countering one another. They both found themselves in a test of strength, both Skippers’ having their swords collide with each other and trying to push the other one back. The real Skipper was struggling since his evil clone was his using family sword. Evil Skipper pushed Skipper to the floor, easily overpowering the real Skipper.

Evil Skipper raised up his sword to finish Skipper with one final stab. But the real Skipper did a sweep kick to make evil Skipper fall down. The real Skipper quickly got back up and sliced off of the evil Skipper’s flippers. The real Skipper quickly took back his family shield and had defense again the evil clone. But evil Skipper still wasn’t stopped; with his one flipper he held up his sword and rushed in for an attack. Real Skipper used his shield to black the attack and used the sword in his other flipper to cut off evil Skipper’s other flipper. The real Skipper dropped the sword he held, and picked up his family sword. With his real sword in flipper, he cut his evil clone’s body through the middle, cut his neck where his body was no longer attached to his body, and kicked him where evil Skipper’s body came apart. His head was in the air and real Skipper cut his clone’s head in half. He killed his evil clone.

Suddenly, an evil sprit came out of the dead clone, and he relived himself, it was Death! Skipper fallowed him as Death was flying away from the vampire penguin. Death flew up into the Underground Caverns, and now Skipper had to find a way to get up there. Skipper alisema the word ‘vespertilionem,’ which was Latin for ‘bat’ (A/N: I know, its very weird.) And Skipper transformed himself into a bat, flew up to the Underground Caverns to do battle with Death. He made it, and waiting for him, was Death himself.

“So, you’ve made it this far,” alisema Death. “In the name of your father, cease your foolishness!”

“Not while there is a breath in my body.” Skipper said.

“Then for the Master, I will feast on your soul this night!”

The battle begun as Death summoned mini scythes that were thrown at the vampire penguin. Skipper took out his shield and blocked them all. Skipper jumped up to attack Death, but his attack was blocked at well from Death’s giant scythe. Death with all his might, slashing and slicing, trying to cut off Skipper’s neck, but all of them were blocked either kwa his sword au his shield. Skipper landed a hit on Death but had no effect. Everything apart of death was just bones, no flesh, no organs, nothing to damage expect his face. Death’s face, the only part of him that had any kind of flesh, and that’s Skipper’s target. Skipper attacked Death in the face with his sword, which left Death scarred. In rage, Death took his scythe and stabbed Skipper in the back, raising him up, and slamming him hard into the ground.

Skipper was slow to get up, all of the battle he had in this ngome were finally catching up to him. Death floated to him, sticking the dull back part of his scythe on Skipper’s neck, chocking him.

“Tell me Skipper. Do wewe fear the sight of death when it looks wewe in the face?” asked Death.

Skipper couldn’t answer as he was trying to gasp for air. Death chucked, as he lift his scythe ready to chop off Skipper’s head. But then, Skipper reached into his the inside of his vazi, pazia and pulled out a blue liquid potion, it was labeled ‘Max Potion.’ (Video game logic my friends.) Skipper drank the whole thing and was starting to glow. As Death came in for the final strike, Skipper raised his sword and blocked the attack. Death was in shocked, as Skipper came up to his feet and started to fight once again, with all of his strength back. Skipper jumped up and stabbed Death right in his face, dead on!

But Death wasn’t stopped yet. He transformed into his final form, a lemur skeleton monster with only the juu part of the body, no bottom half. He held two boomerang shaped scythes in his bone hands and started to throw them at Skipper, then come back to them. Skipper attacked but had little affect, Death was still all bone and even if he gotten his Bones broken they can easily fix each other. He had to think of a way to defeat Death. Skipper remembered something, when any head gets cut off kwa the Grim Reaper’s scythe, their head will stay off forever. Skipper had to use Death’s scythe to cut off his head. Death threw one of his boomerang scythe at Skipper, and at the right moment, the vampire penguin, auk grabbed the handle and threw it right back at Death. And then, slice! Death was decapitated.

Skipper has defeated death, but he wasn’t done yet. He still had to hurry to defeat the dark priest before it was too late. The one place he knew where he would be doing such a thing is back in the secret room in the Clock Tower. That’s was his inayofuata destination.
