"This is rumble "Death&039;s not a person It can&039;t react"

"It can now," Raz disagrees "It constructed a body Prior to Bec, beings died and souls passed on But the new Death has the power to harness souls It can deny thee, shadowy body out of-"

"The Shadow!" I cry, co with horror

I&039; It all ht-the Shadow is the greatest threat we&039;ve ever faced Only it&039;s far worse than he iined You can&039;t cheat death and you can&039;t hide fros, Death knohere all things are The body of Death can only thrive in an area of ic, so it resides in the deuide the De for the noise "This is speculation, but we believe the Deoal-the restoration of the Kah-Gash If they achieve it, the lifeforms of this universe will cease to exist The Demonata will return to their i sadly And Death&039;s task will be vastly lessened"

"What task?" I frown

"The harvesting of souls Death&039;s job is far harder now than it was before the Big Bang-so many souls to process It see to-as you huhten its workload"

"We have to stop it," I gasp "We have to find the Shadow and destroy it If Death has a body, it can be attacked If we kill it, maybe its mind will unravel"

"We do not think it is possible to kill Death," Raz ether There will never be a shortage of souls"

"The Kah-Gash," I snap "We can use that"

Raz makes a face "The Kah-Gash never had power over death Also, as I said, it rant Death consciousness in the first place The Kah-Gash has changed In the past, the pieces cut randoh the universes But since Bec defied death, the other parts have worked their way to your planet They both cropped up there shortly after she died We could do nothing about Bec&039;s piece-she was beyond our grasp-but we directed the other pair into for and sent them far away

"They escaped and returned to Earth, in Grubitsch Grady and you"

"You think the Kah-Gash wants to reunite?" I frown

"It looks that way Perhaps the Kah-Gash wishes to fight Death, to preserve the universes OrDeath to achieve its goal We don&039;t know We can only fear"

"I guess there&039;s only one way to find out," I grunt "We have to go back I&039;ll join with Bec and Grubbs, try to control the Kah-Gash, and hope for the best There&039;s no other way, is there?"

"Actually," Raz coughs, "there is But you&039;re not going to like it"
