“So who do we have here. Rex Silverthorn... No.. Anubis... No.. Both?”.

A man in a nice black suit with a white tie was typing, what looked like an old-fashioned typewriter with a long strip of paper hanging off of it leading down to the side behind his wooden desk. the man was average build but most women would consider him a model from Earth. he was contemplating what Rex Silverthorn and Anubis soul was. he had irregularities before but not as interesting as this one.

“Hmmm, I see now. He was from beyond and such interesting events happened. One is a dead god of death, and another a dead soldier of death. How ironic. Skill in both fighting, commanding and killing in both. The same soul yet different lives which are so similar yet different”.

The man at the desk started laughing. As an ancient being in the universe meant to guide the wandering souls, he had rarely seen such a special case.

“Interesting… really interesting. Oh and a little helper I see that was the cause. Pfft. HA HA HA! Oh man, what an interesting event. I'm just gonna go to the restroom and say a soul accidentally snuck past me if anyone asks. I want to see just what will happen. It’s not like it’s not fun to spice things up”.

The man started tapping his chin with his elbow on his desk. he was looking at the soul that was floating in front of him and trying to decide what he should do with it.

“Now where to drop you. Hmm, I think I know just the place. Let the tides of the universe guide you to your future. I will be watching you, little one.

The man clapped his hands then he typed A few things on his typewriter. He grabbed the small glass orb filled with grey gas, with his right hand he twirled it on his finger like a basketball and then threw it down the hallway in which he stayed. The hallways seemed never-ending, Rex's soul flew through the hallway for what seemed like an hour or two. A portal of what seemed like it was made of stars Then swallowed the soul.

Rex’s POV(After Death):

I saw my body in a 3rd person view, it was the weirdest thing I've ever seen, however, it felt natural at the same time. My emotions seem to have left me as I don’t feel anything after seeing my own death. All I can think was If my A.I, Sam, was online then I would have been able to last possibly twice as long and get more kills. I saw a flashing light on the temple on the head of my body, of course of soon as I die Sam comes back online, I would laugh but I don’t seem to have a mouth on whatever I am. I started to drift slowly up, rising through the bottom floor and passing through towards the sky that was a conglomerate of clouds and fire from flak fire. However just before I was about to pass through the clouds I was tugged beneath me. A pain like I have never felt went through me. I would’ve screamed if I had a mouth. It was as if a billion searing hot needles were driving into me from all directions. Then it stopped and I felt as if I had something back in my body that has been there before.

...

[Host’s “A.I.” has been implanted onto: “Soul”]

Rex saw the message on the top of his view, it was a series of words that left him flabbergasted. He tried to organize his thoughts but all he could think was, I don’t think that was supposed to happen.

Rex then just mentally talked asking, “Zero?”

Zero was the first product of the experimental A.I. by the western robotics and A.I. company in the United Merchants Coalition gifted him for his “dedication”, which was the countless experiments that were performed on his body either by himself or the company. Being a guinea pig saved his life more than he can count after his countless battles.

[Hello, Master]

Rex heard Zero in his British monotone voice. It was then he breathed a sigh of relief as he knew he was less lonely now. He then thought where will he be going next?

Rex floated under the clouds for a few more seconds then started drifting higher again through the clouds.

[Master, I took what is called “A leap of faith” and decided I tried to implant into your soul to complete my primary directive: Become your most loyal companion. In order to serve you to my utmost ability]

Rex said, “Well shit buddy, thanks for coming along for the ride”.

[No problem master, I also took the liberty to find your previous life’s memories and thought patterns in storage, his identity is known as, Anubis, The God of Death]

Rex was stunned speechless, what the hell is going on with my death it seems like I just had a birthday and I'm getting all these gifts from my rich uncle. He knew of Anubis, the Egyptian Ruler of Death, one of his favorite mythological characters. He even used “Anubis” as his alias for secret meetings, VRMMO’s in the past before he enlisted the Reaper’s Company, and he even had a backup fake passport under that name, albeit a weird name in this time and age.

[I knew you were interested in such a mythological entity, However you were incapacitated at the time so I copied the information. Would you like to combine with “Anubis”?][Y/N]

Rex didn’t even think for longer than one second, and just said, “Yes”.

The host has Accepted combination… beginning combination, estimated time until completion: 5000 years

Rex read the information pouring across his vision then looked at the time till completion and his imaginary eyes bulged... He started screaming, “FUUUUUUUUUUUU”.

Pain shot through his body as if he was being constantly stabbed with burning hot needles and he lost his consciousness.

…

It was an unknown amount of time later when Rex awakened but it wasn’t what he was expecting when he opened his imaginary eyes. What he saw made him speechless and his jaw was dropped.

An ancient being was sitting on a throne made of black stone, with gold outlining. The throne was sleek and looked study with a majestic ancient presence. Most would kneel in front of the being however Rex instinctively knew they weren’t two separate creatures. They were one and the same.

The surrounding was barren it was if a stone platform with a thorn and a majestic creature was in the middle of a desert at night time. The stars were all showing with great clarity and the night sky would have made anyone want to stay star-gazing for countless years. The sand surrounding the stone platform and the throne was grey in color. Black trees with grey leaves could be seen in the far off distance. A broken scale was laying on the ground next to the throne, it was simple yet completely made of gold. A staff could be seen leaning against the throne in what looked like a shattered state.

The ancient being looked right into Rex’s eyes and smiled. He stood and slowly walked on towards Rex. His feet were Paws that looked like they belonged to a panther, but every time he walked the grey sand nearby would jump as if to make a rhythm of a beat. He was 10 feet tall and towered over Rex, his golden eyes looked straight into Rex’s dark brown.

Anubis smiled and said, “Congratulations Reaper of Death for making your way here. As we both know, death is not the end for us. Let me tell you a story of an ancient being that was smithing his soul into the ultimate and most supreme soul of all. I used ancient sorcery to meld my soul and used the ambient energy of the deathscape as fuel”. He spread out his grey hands with long fingers and sharp nails to point out the surroundings. “This place was supposed to be my ticket to immortality, and it succeeded in a way I guess. However, the cost was to wait for thousands of years for you. My soul was split into two and I had to wait for our reunion”.

Rex was nodding his head in understanding, he thought to himself, I see where my ability to create death came from. Many would-be scared to combine with such an entity and feel like they were going to no lose their sense of self however Rex had a feeling he wasn’t losing anything. If anything he will be gaining much much more.

Both Anubis and Rex had an instinctive feeling that they needed to combine to become one. They would then be considered as “Whole”. They knew what they had to do and Anubis knew how to do it. They clasped each other's arm in a roman-like grab, each grabbing the others arm and closed their eyes.

The deathscape, started to shake and rumble as if to cheer, it started to vibrate sand faster and faster then a sandstorm of grey was spinning around the two. Flames of Cyan colors began to combine into the sand storm and turn it into a blue and greenish sand tornado with Anubis and Rex in the eye of the storm. They stood there for a few minutes and then a bolt of lightning that was black in color and had streaks of cyan throughout stuck the two.

…

Anubis awoke in his soul peering out into the universe in which his and Rex’s soul was flying through. When they combined souls their consciousness was turned into one and “they” decided to use the name Anubis as the main name. Anubis knew souls drifted into a cycle to be reincarnated. However, he also knew it could take countless years until such an event completed.

[Welcome back master, I have changed the host’s name from Rex to Anubis in my database. There is an estimated time of 4300 years left until the soul will reach its destination. I will begin the memory combination process, it will take an estimated 300 years until it is seamlessly implemented into one consciousness. Are you ready to begin?][Y/N].

Anubis mentally smiled as he knew there was so much information that will have to be taken care of carefully and sifted through to combine his pasts. He is no longer Rex or Anubis, but something completely different, something completely new.

Anubis mentally said to his trusty A.I Zero, “Yes”.
