Two scythes away from hell.

The large bridge on the way to the tower began to rise, making way for a ship to pass by. "Perfect." Krion commented as he saw his chance. He quickly rode his motorbike full speed ahead and began picking up speed. Jumping from the tilted bridge, he fired two grapling hooks from his motorbike which managed to get a hook on to the tower ahead. Swinging to the other side, he landed vertically on to the tower and began his asend. However as he was half way there, the ropes that were connected to the hooks were suddenly cut. Causing him to fall from his asend. Trying to salvage the situation, he used his back wheel to try to reduce the impact by crashing it against the wall and pulling on the reverse. Soon he landed safetly back on the ground, in front of the entrance of the tower.
"Welcome, GodSlayer...we are the twin guardians of the gate to hell. Are you ready to enter? If so, prepare to face the blades of our scythes!"
Krion looked back and saw twin human like reapers standing face to face with him. They wore a black hood which covered their eyes and unlike the other reapers he had faced, these wore proper foot wear! In one hand was their scythes and in the other was a chain which connected to their scythes. Pointing his guns at their stomachs, he replied. "Try me." And quickly pulled the trigger. However the twin reapers both dodge the bullets by taking a step back so as their arms were facing Krion. "Precise, very precise. Now, how about we have some fun shall we?" Krion commented as he leaped into the air and fired a series of shots at them. The twin reapers dodged the bullets by dashing to a different direction with each shot. They then leaped into the air as well, and spun their scythes like a lasso before throwing them at Krion. Krion defended himself by releasing the blades from his guns and catching the two scythes with them. He then pulled himself forward and as he fell towards the reapers, he let go of his guns to draw his swords. However before he could slash any of the reapers, they both pulled back their scythes towards Krion. Sensing the blades of the scythes drawing closer Krion spun back in mid air and used his twin swords to clash against the approaching scythes. Krion's back now facing the reapers as they tried their hardest to pull their scythes closer to him. Just as when it looks like it was going to be a stalemate, the two reapers dash forward to stab Krion with the finger nails from their claws. "Gotcha!" Krion exclamied as he turned back just in time to slash of a hand from each reaper. And then stabbing them in their stomachs, before they had a chance to attack him again. "Just one question before you guys leave, I thought the three headed dog, 'Cerebus' was supose to guard the gate of hell...so..."
One of the reapers grinned before he said, "That's our pet, she's on medical leave right now so we had to quit slacking again to guard this lousy door. To think after over three thousand vaccine infections, she still falls sick over a common cold!"
"Oh...I see, wait a minute! It's a she?! O_o' ", but before Krion could get a response the twin reapers dissappeared into shades of dark smoke.
"Don't worry, we'll meet again soon. Then we'll talk." a voice from out of nowhere replied.

[ Oh yeah and one last thing, my numbering of the chapters might come from the first word of the title. Eg. 'Two scythes away from hell' Not certain if it'll continue like this though. *Imagines chapter 20+* 'Die!']
