The End is Near Without You “I will never let you get away with this! Armageddon will be upon us and you of all people will pay for what you have done.”
Bishop strikes with his sword to the chest of Stank Gum. Stank Gum blocks and returns a strike to Bishop’s leg.
“Muahahahah, you’re weak and slow just like your father! I enjoyed killing him by the way. His blood was mighty tasty too.” Bishop never knew the potential he had, or what he was capable of doing. Everyday Bishop was cleaning stables for his father. Until one day he was working and heard...“Bishop! Someone’s here to see you.”
Bishop made his way to the front door of his home and opened the door.
“May I ask what you’re doing hear stranger?” Bishop asked.
“Pardon my interruption. I am Mifune. I’m looking for Bishop Amarta. Is he here or am I at the wrong house?”
“I’m here, what seems to be the problem sir?” Bishop replied.
“The world is in danger from the notorious ruler Stank Gum and our legion is in need of your help. Come with me and I can show you, trust me, the end is near without you,” explained Mifune.
“Alright, just for this one time, but I am not a hero.”
Bishop joined Mifune on the ride to check out his Legion. As Bishop and Mifune arrived, Bishop saw a bunch of other people training in obstacle courses.
“Woah! What is this place?” asked Bishop.
“This is The Legion of Kishin, the best warriors from all across the world come here to train to defeat the army of Stank Gum and himself. I’ve gathered you here to recruit you.”
“Me? Why me? I’m nothing compared to any of these guys! You think I’m going to risk my life, all for some war that is being taken care of!” said Bishop angrily.
“It’s destiny Bishop, you see?” Everyone around Bishop and Mifune started staring. Bishop heard whispering all around them. He was curious about what was going on.
“Why are they staring?” asked Bishop.
“Because you are destiny Bishop. All these people know the prophecy, and believe in what you can do for all us,” replied Mifune.
“No! That can’t be possible!”
“Armageddon will be upon us without your help. Stank Gum is winning and we can’t let that happen. You are our only hope.”
“No, I can’t,” sadly answered Bishop.
Bishop returned home to his father. Entering his home, calling for his dad, only to hear the echoes of his own voice. Suddenly Bishop hears screaming coming from the stables. It sounded like his father. Bishop quickly dashed to the stables as fast as he could. Bishop was hoping he was alright, Bishop was worried.
“Dad! You’re bleeding! What happened!?” Bishop said anxiously.
“It.. was… Stank.. Gu..,”
Bishop’s father took his last breath. He smelt smoke coming from his house. Bishop turns around and sees Stank Gum holding up a torch chanting. Suddenly, Bishop’s whole world collapsed into nothing but a void. He was lost and had nothing left. There was still hope for him.
“Aaaaaaahhhhh!!!” shouts Bishop.
Bishop hurries over to meet Mifune. Something had to be done. Bishop needed to get payback for his father. It needed be done.
“Mifune!” angrily said Bishop.
“Yes?” answered Mifune.
“I want in, teach me how to fight.”
Mifune grins and lightly chuckles at Bishop “About time, I knew those giant arms would come in handy, come to my cabana in the morning. Your training begins then.”
The next morning Bishop headed straight to Mifune’s cabana without hesitation. Bishop was filled with hatred. His eyes were smoldering like lava, just to get revenge on Stank Gum.
“Are you ready to start your training today?” asked Mifune.
“Yes, more than ever, I can’t deal with this kind of pain any longer than I have to.”
Mifune handed Bishop a sword.
“Attack me, I need to see what you could do first.”
Bishop dashes toward Mifune as hard as he could, but missed him. One attack after another you could tell Bishop was getting annoyed. Mifune kept dodging attacks like it was nothing.
“Stop,” said Mifune.
“What’s the problem?” answered Bishop
“Look at me, you are fighting out of anger, you can’t do damage that way, think of your father and how much you loved him, that should do the trick.”
Bishop tries his hardest to think what his father did for him all his life. He loved him more than anyone
“Now strike at me again,” says Mifune.
Once more, Bishop tried to attack Mifune the best he could. The shiny steel blade striking through the rain slicing through everything in its path. Mifune hardly had any reaction time for it. With him barely dodging it, Bishop, put a long bloody wound on the chest of Mifune.
“Mifune! I’m so sorry!” cried Bishop.
“It’s ok, it happens a lot. I’m impressed, you’re learning fast.”
As time went by, Bishop had grown far more than he had thought. He was now a superior swordsman.
While Stank Gum is close to causing the end of the world. Bishop arrived at one of Stank Gum’s camps. Silently perched on a hillside he quickly spots his target. thought Bishop. As he´s thinking up a way to sneak in he saw a very deadly snake, it was a Viking Albino King Snake and it jumped at him he slipped and slid down the hill exposing himself.
All the troops of the camp seemed puzzled. It didn’t take long for all of them to start laughing at such a foolish and dumb “assassin”. With all the soldiers being well entertained, they had no idea Bishop disappeared from the hillside. “Ahhhhhhh,” cried a group of troopers. Bishop was killing one after another, he dominated all of his opponents. Bishop takes his saber and drove it right into the rough flesh of a foe. Then turning his blade, slicing through all of the enemy’s organs. Blood splattered everywhere. With the rivals intestines horrifically falling out of his torso. Bishop turns and strikes fear into the eyes of all the others. They then looked at Bishop and at all the carnage he had caused. They all turned and walked away, except one. This soldier was like no other. He was and it. A colossal mutant, more so a beast. Bishop himself was astonished of the figure. The beast took one step and bolted straight towards Bishop. Charging at him with intense speed, Bishop had no room for hesitation on this one, he was like a deer caught in headlights. thought Bishop.
The Beast knocked Bishop off his feet and he soared through the air like a baby bird falling from its nest. All you could hear was the solid thud of Bishops figure hitting the ground. The beast walked up to Bishop’s body once more and grabbed him. Palming Bishop’s head, the beast took him and started hammering his face right into the earth. One after another until Bishop’s face was brutally crushed. Blood gushed everywhere, Bishop was down but not out. The beast dropped Bishop and walked away. He was clueless, the mutant felt like it's job was done, but it wasn’t. Bishop stumbled to his feet, his eyes that were once blue turned black like he was not in control. Bishop yelled, alerting the beast. Coming at it with incredible speed, Bishop took his blade and sliced it right through its body. The beast’s upper body was completely severed from the other half. Descending onto the dirt, the beasts build was no more than a carcass for the vultures. It was now time to interrogate and terminate the target. Bishop needed answers of Stank Gum’s whereabouts. It didn’t take long for Bishop to find a bright red beret. As a matter of fact, Bishop could clearly see him quivering in a corner like a wee baby. “Stank Gum, where is he! Tell me or I’ll take my sword and jam it as far down your throat as I can” Furiously yelled Bishop. “He... He... He…” Cried the the twerp “Now! I want answers!” Bishop raises his sword in the air about to strike down the little sucker. “Wait, No you Can’t,” weeped a voice. Bishop strangely looks back as he see’s one of the most lovely women he’s ever seen. “Whoooh, She’s hot!!” said the twerp. Bishop let’s go of the “soldier” and pays more attention to the young lady. “Get out of here, unless you want me to slaughter you to bits too,” yelled Bishop. “I’m sorry to bother you, I’m Arachne, I heard you were looking for Stank Gum, is that correct?” “What do you know about him?” asked Bishop “Stank Gum is located not far north of here, if you want I can take you there,” exclaimed Arachne. “Take me you will, but if you try to make one slick move I’ll tear you to shreds.” “Will Do.”

Arachne and Bishop make their way to the camp of the notorious Stank Gum. Mifune greets them on the way to tell them something very urgent.
“Bishop! Be careful in there. He’ll be unleashing a dangerous chemical in the air that’ll make everyone, but his empire, wither into nothing but bone. I barely got out of there without getting caught. You have about 30 minutes until it goes off. If you don’t reach it in time we will all be dead,” exclaimed Mifune.
“Thank you. Even though we’ve known each other for a couple months, I’m proud to say that I was trained by the greatest sword master in all the land. You may not ever see me again. I could die a heroic death. But I’m not going to die, I’ll whoop his butt, and surpass god right there and then!” replied Bishop.
“Farewell crazy!”
Arachne led Bishop into one of the secret entrances in the camp. Arachne stayed back to avoid any skirmishes. Guards were everywhere. Bishop managed to silently take out the guards one by one. Slicing the throats of the them. Creating distractions to get closer to Stank Gum. Bishop slowly approached, being silent like a cheetah stalking its prey. Bishop had finally caught Stank Gum red handed, alone, laughing like a hyena at his own cause. Bishop was sure that he had and open shot to exterminate him. Bishop grunts trying to decapitate Stank Gum’s head, but it went right through him. Bishop’s face turned white like had just seen a ghost.
“Hahaha,” laughs Stank Gum
Bishop turns around and see’s Stank Gum right behind him swiping with his dual daggers. Bishop barely dodged from his attack.
“I will never let you get away with this! Armageddon will be upon us and you of all people will pay for what you have done.”
Bishop strikes with his sword to the chest of Stank Gum. Stank Gum blocks and returns a strike to Bishop’s leg.
“Muahahahah, you’re weak and slow just like your father! I enjoyed killing him by the way. His blood was mighty tasty too.”
“You’re a sick man. I’m going to take your life for what you’ve done!”
Bishop was blocking hit after hit the best he could, Stank Gum was too fast for him. He was breaking more and more after every hit Stank Gum had thrown. Until one opening left Bishop vulnerable and he was stabbed multiple times in the chest.
“I knew you were weak. Just one minute until everyone, but me and my troops are completely eradicated,” foolishly says Stank Gum.
“You aren’t going to win. I may be completely down but I’m not done with you.”
Bishop’s eyes turned black again and is golden hair was red. Stank Gum was intimidated but it was not enough to scare him off. Bishop attacked as fast as a bolt of lighting and rammed his steel blade right through the flesh and blood of Stank Gum. Stank Gum was finished. Coughing up blood Stank Gum managed to mumble something under his breath…
“Fifteen seconds are left “hero”. What are you gonna do? There’s no way to disable it now.”
Bishop took his steel sword and struck down Stank Gum completely severing his head. Rolling away with his neck gushing immense amounts of blood. Bishop looks up at the clock… 10… 9… 8… 7… He reacted quickly, channeling all of his energy into one giant force to destroy the machine. 4… 3… 2… Cling, the sword hit and caused a ginormous explosion that had shook the ground and everything with it. It was over. Bishop had saved the world from Stank Gum. Everyone was free from his torture. Mifune and Arachne saw the damage and knew Bishop was gone. He had died a hero’s death.
Mifune and Arachne hoisted up the giant golden statue in the middle of the legion. Clearing his throat Mifune addressed the warriors.
“We will miss him. Even for the short time we knew him. He will forever be in our debt. Ladies and Gentleman, I present you with the sculpture of our savior. Bishop Amarta!” The End is Near Without You “I will never let you get away with this! Armageddon will be upon us and you of all people will pay for what you have done.”
Bishop strikes with his sword to the chest of Stank Gum. Stank Gum blocks and returns a strike to Bishop’s leg.

While Stank Gum is close to causing the end of the world. Bishop arrived at one of Stank Gum’s camps. Silently perched on a hillside he quickly spots his target. thought Bishop.
Bishop tried his hardest to create a big entrance. Literally.
“HEY EVERYONE! I’M THE GREATEST ASSASSIN OF ALL TIME! NO ONE CAN STOP ME! I’M BISHOP AND I’M HERE TO KILL YOU ALL! YAHOO!” dumbly yelled Bishop. All the troops of the camp seemed puzzled. It didn’t take long for all of them to start laughing at such a foolish and dumb “assassin”.
