It was 3:12 am in the glass desert that once was the Sadiabria desert, till a nuke glassed it for a hundred miles. In that dangerous hazardous land, after twenty years with the war still ragging on. The Japanese and Russian government's best soldiers were stationed in a base awaiting their target.
Normally these two nations wouldn't dare work together, but they had one common enemy. America's "Grim Reaper," a special operations operative that has killed all targets for the past forty years, even an army of forty thousand, with one hundred percent success.
They had reached an agreement with the Americans; they'll cease the fighting if they can finally kill the Grim Reaper as they've suffered the most from the damned soldier than anything else. They thought they could handle him but all the smaller countries would be used as fodder to do it. Their fodder surrendered the moment the damned Reaper was even sighted.
He was just a lone man, yet he caused so much trouble by just getting deployed. It was honestly baffling to leaders of countries where America found the man. It's as if he just appeared from the ashes with a thirst for blood. His attire was a battered cloak over a worn special operatives combat suit, but he wore a smiling skull mask that glowed an eerie purple within the cracks.
The Russians and Japanese had been waiting a week for the Reaper to appear. They never suspected he was amongst them... Watching and smiling as he sabotaged everything in the base. They had only realized too late when everything was destroyed by an explosion followed by an outlawed gas. Sixty million men and women were gone in an instant as a man walked away wearing a JDF uniform smiling.
"Mission completed, time for my own exit... They'll be here soon."
As if on cue vehicles of Russian, Japanese, and American origin surrounded him as they suddenly "materialized". From an American stealth helicopter called the Mantis a voice spoke to the man.
"General Dakota Carrion of the criminal special operations battalion "Manticore". You must stand down and die for the sake of the world to meet a peaceful resolution. This is an order by the president of the nation, DO NOT RESIST!"
"Oh suck a dick General Yang you guys captured me while I assassinated people from our own country. Then forced me to lead a special operations battalion of war criminals to carry out the dirty work.
You got everyone else killed but me so bravo! But I must tell you something Yang~ wanna hear?"
"What scum..."
The voice sounded indifferent but weary as this was a monster shaped by their hands.
The man known as the Reaper, General Carrion pulled out a small black cube from his military vest. Everyone who saw it froze in mock fear, before them in the hands of the target was the weapon the world deemed unfit for warfare. It was developed by a German and French scientists duo calling themselves the Gifters.
The cube before them wiped Greenland from the world map and ate most of Canada and Ireland. That cube was called the "Eraser" as it simply erased everything in its radius... Land, animals, humans, plants... Nothing remains, only a massive hole devoid of life up till three hundred feet into the ground.
"OUR COUNTRY IS SHIT YOU WANT ME TO DIE PEACEFULLY?! SEE YOUR CORRUPTED ASSES IN HELL! WE'RE ALL TO MEET THE DEVIL! SO FOR OUR SINS TODAY, YOU WANT ME? I WANT HALF OF ALL LIFE TO JOIN ME!"
"""STOP THAT PSYCHO!!!" All the three countries' leaders screamed as the Reaper activated the cube.
"Bye~ Yang you always were on my rape with a spiked morning star up the ass list."
Then, smiling widely the greatest assassin accepted his death as he took millions into his forced suicide pact.
Everyone raced to stop the cube, even as they turned the Reaper into red vapor with their weapons. The world went black and 437,908,900,994 lives were erased both human and animal. The one who did so died smiling, the world marked that moment in time as the "Reapers Retribution".
The mass amount of life lost was pinned on America, Russia, and Japan as the main forces last detected heading to the epicenter. After reports of the Reaper being deployed were proven along with the deal made. The rest of the world condemned them for pushing a historical figure of world war three to the brink of a suicide pact.
Meanwhile the Reaper came face to face with a god of Genocide smiling brightly at him.
