At the hospital, Rigby is lying dead on a stretcher, and (Y/n), Mordecai, Pops, Skips and Benson are standing around him. (Y/n) was close to having a breakdown so Mordecai was doing everything he could to comfort her. "I'm sorry. There was nothing we could do." The doctor said. That's when (Y/n) lost it and began sobbing uncontrollably. Mordecai hugs her for comfort and she hugs him back.

Pops and Benson bow their heads. Mordecai looks at Skips. "You couldn't let it go. Well, I hope you got what you wanted." Mordecai said spitefully. "Let's go, (Y/n)." Mordecai said, walking towards the door. "Wait," she said, and they both look at her. "I need some more time, I... just let me stay with Rigby for a bit longer, please..." she said, as tears well up in her eyes. Neither of them could stand to see her like this. Mordecai sighs and choose not to argue. "Okay, meet me outside once you're done." He then glares at Skips one last time before leaving. Skips looks over at (Y/n) who was staring at Rigby with a mourning expression.

~Flashback~

The park gang are all at McHooligan's together. "Hey. Let me tell you guys something. This guy, this guy right here is so strong. He could take any one of you out in arm wrestling." Benson said. "Nah nah." Skips  laughs modestly. "Skips, Skips. I am your boss, and as your boss, I order you to arm wrestle me." Benson said. Everyone chants his name. "Alright, alright, if you insist." He slams Benson's arm. "OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Everyone said. "What did I tell you, what did I tell you?" Benson asked. "Oh, oh, me, me!" Skips slams Pops' arm and Pops giggles. "Set 'em up Skips, you can't take none of this. Yeah, yeah yeah yeah!" Mordecai said. Skips slams Mordecai's arm.

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Everyone said again. "Oh, now me! Now me!" (Y/n) said. Skips' eyes widened a little. "Look kid, I don't want to hurt you, okay?" He asked, but she only smirks. "What? Don't think I can handle a little arm wrestling just cause I'm a girl?" She asked teasingly. Skips smirks a bit as well. "Well, if you want me to." He said. The two arm wrestle, and so far (Y/n) was able to keep him at bay the longest, but Skips slams her arm down like everyone else. "OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Everyone says again. "I gotta say, you got some skills, kid." Skips said. "Eh, you're the one who beat me." (Y/n) shrugs.

"Yeah, but you lasted longer than everyone else so far." Skips said, sounding a little impressed, and (Y/n) smirks. "I have my ways." She said. Everyone chants as Skips slams Hi Five Ghost. Skips slams Muscle Man. Everyone chants his name again. "Now me." Rigby said, and everyone laughs. "C'mon Skips, set 'em up." Rigby said. "Okay, I'll go easy on you." Skips clasps Rigby's hand. "This is gonna be hilarious. Okay, ready, go!" Benson said. Rigby slams Skips, and everyone looks shocked. "Enough! We're going again, I wasn't ready." Skips said. "Maybe. Or maybe you're just getting weak in your old age, gramps." Rigby said.

Skips and Rigby clasp hands. "Okay, ready, go!" Everyone chants 'go' and Rigby slams Skips. "Yeah, yeah yeah! Who's the strongest now? Two in a row!" Rigby said. Everyone cheers and leaves. Skips stays behind. "That was awesome, man." Mordecai said. "Yeah, how'd you do it?" (Y/n) asked. "It's all in the wrist. And also it's in the muscles. Maybe you and I should go next sometime, (Y/n)." Rigby said, and she smiles. "Sure." Later Skips is sitting on the front steps. "Hi, Skips. You sure did a bang up job at arm wrestling yesterday. You were beating everyone." Pops said, but when Skips didn't answer (Y/n) became concerned.  "Skips, what's wrong?" She asked softly. "I didn't beat Rigby." He said. "So? You're still the greatest arm wrestler I know." (Y/n) said. "I'm not the strongest anymore." He replied.

"Balderdash! You are the strongest person I know. You were just having a bad day." Pops said. "Maybe he's right, Skips. Maybe try asking Rigby for a rematch." (Y/n) said. "Yeah! Then you'll see who the strongest is." Pops giggles and walks away. "Skips," he turns to look at (Y/n). "Don't take this thing too hard, okay?" She asked. "It pains me to see you so down on yourself over one match." She said. Skips sighs. I''ll try." Later the trio are inside playing Guitar Dudes Reunion Tour. "Here comes the power move!" Mordecai presses a button on the guitar. The character on screen starts shredding his guitar and Mordecai laughs. "Guys, this is just like playing real guitar!" He said. "Check this out!" Rigby plays guitar behind his head. A buzzing sound plays. "No!" Rigby shouted.

His character on screen starts being pelted with bottles. "Dude, dodge the bottles! Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right!" (Y/n) said. Skips blocks the television. "Aww, what?" Mordecai said. "Come on!" Rigby said. "Rigby! Me, you, rematch." Skips said. "No." Rigby said. "I said I want a rematch!" Skips said. "I'm busy." Skips rages and breaks the console in half then exits. "Dude, not cool." Mordecai said, and (Y/n) just sighs. "Eh. He'll get over it." Rigby said. Later Skips is working out in his room. Benson knocks. "Come in." (Y/n), Mordecai, Rigby and Benson enter. "Skips? Skips did you break their video game?" Benson asked. "Yes, yes he did! I already told you!" Rigby said.

"I want to hear it from him." Benson said. "Grrrr!" Rigby growls. "Yeah." Skips said bluntly. "What? Wow, uh, I'm sorry Skips, but, you're gonna have to pay for it." Benson said. "Hmm, hmm." Rigby said. "Oh I'll pay for it. After Rigby gives me a rematch." Skips said. "What? That's what this is about?" Benson asked. "You wouldn't understand." Skips said, and Benson scoffs. "Yeah, I guess I wouldn't understand." Benson said. "I understand. You just want to lose again. Let's go." Skips sets down a chest and puts his arm on it. "Set 'em up." Rigby clasps his hand with Skips'.

"Ready? Go." Rigby slams Skips' arm. Skips makes a noise of surprise. "Make sure you pay him by the end of the week." Benson said. "Yeah, I will." Skips said. "What was that? I couldn't understand you. I don't speak second place. Make sure you pay me by the end of the week." Rigby said. (Y/n), Mordecai, Rigby, and Benson leave. Skips smashes the chest. Later that night, everyone is about to leave for McHooligan's. "Aww, yeah! McHooligan's, round two!" Muscle Man slides down the banister. Hi Five Ghost goes with Muscle Man. "Shotgun!" He said. Benson walks down stairs. "I hope you guys got your drink tickets 'cause the drinks are on me! Up to a dollar fifty value!" He said.

Pops walks down stairs. "Splendid, I can't wait to get an adjuration!" Pops said. (Y/n) and Rigby walk down. "I'm gonna get me an ice on the rocks, woo!" Rigby said. "Aww, man, my drink ticket!" Mordecai said. "Hey, Mordecai, let's hustle!" Benson urged. "I'll be back in a sec, guys." Mordecai said. In Mordecai and Rigby's room, Skips is going through Rigby's drawer. "Aww, what, Skips? What are you doing?" Mordecai asked. "Uh, nothing. Uh, going through Rigby's stuff. Rigby, the strongest. There's gotta be a trick." Skips said. "Dude, Skips, I can't stand to see you like this. Listen. Don't tell him I told you this, but Rigby's been pranking you." Mordecai said. "What? Does (Y/n) know?" Skips asked, and Mordecai shook his head. "I didn't tell her, cause I knew that she'd get pissed off. Trust me, you don't want to know what she's like when she's angry." Mordecai said. "I think she may already have her suspicions though." He rubs the back of his neck nervously, then picks up his drink ticket. "Two words: "Playco Arm boy" he exits the room. "Look it up."

Later Skips was using the computer. He watches the Playco Arm boy commercial. A father and his son are arm wrestling. "So, you think you can take on your old man?" The father slams his son and laughs. "Easy!" The son frowns, Playco Arm boy appears and the son smiles. "How to use Playco Arm boy! First, put on Playco Arm boy, Second, conceal Playco Arm boy, Third, sign our legal Playco Arm boy waver!" The father and son are arm wrestling again. "Ready for round two, eh?" SMASH! The father yelps. "Aww! That really hurt, son..." "A subsidiary of Yoshimoto Cybernetics!" The commercial ends, and Skips becomes furious. Skips trains himself, then leaves his room.

~Time Skip~

"Hey, Mordecai, what ever happened to Skips?" Benson asked. "Uh. He had stuff. To do." Mordecai  said, and (Y/n) sighs. "I hope he's okay..." she said. "Hmm, hmm! Probably resting his old man bones." Rigby said, and (Y/n) glares at him. "Shut up, Rigby." Suddenly the door slams, and Skips appears. "OHHHHH! Look who's back for thirds!" Skips sits down next to (Y/n). "Don't do it, Skips." Benson said, but Skips props his arm up. Rigby props his arm up. "Say goodnight, gramps." Things then run in slow-motion. Skips pulls out Rigby's Playco Armboy and arm wrestles again. He then grabs Rigby's arm, lifts him and smashes him down the table, and (Y/n)'s eyes widen in shock and horror. "RIGBY!"

~Flashback ends~

"I'm sorry, Rigby. I'll make it up to you." Skips said, and (Y/n) turns to him furiously. "How are you going to do that?! He's dead! Rigby is dead! And it's all your fault!" She shouted. Before Skips could reply, they hear laughter. "Well, well, well. If it ain't old Skips. And the famous (Y/n)." A portal appears and Death rides through on his motorcycle and gets off. (Y/n)'s eyes widen by a millimeter. "You haven't changed a bit. So, what's the occasion here, Skips? Is that your buddy there? Finally killed someone, eh?"

Death then looks at (Y/n), giving her a once over. Skips instantly notices this and pushes her behind him protectively. "Gotta say, (Y/n)'s even prettier in person, or chipmunk so to speak." Death smirks, and her eyes widened in surprise. "How do you know my na-" (Y/n) stopped mid sentence when something clicked. 'What did he mean by famous?' "Stay back, kid. I'll handle this." He said. "I want him back. Let's arm wrestle for him. If I win, I keep him. If you win, you can take me instead." (Y/n)'s eyes widen again. "Aww, big old Skips finally coming in for some old fashion arm wrestling, eh? 'bout time. You've been dodging me for years. Now I get to beat you and take your immortal soul?" Skips nods, and (Y/n) watches in horror.

"What?! Skips, no! This isn't the way to help!" But he looks at her sternly. "I said I got this." He said, before looking back at Death. "Deal." Death said. Death and Skips shake hands. A table appears. "I've been waiting for this day." Death takes his jacket off to reveal an arm as muscular as Skips' and kisses it. "Set 'em up." Death said. "Hmm." Death and Skips clasp hands. A referee appears. "Ready? Go!" Death and Skips arm wrestle. Sparks appear from their combined fist and the table rises in the air. A whirlpool appears in the ground. "Your soul is mine!" Death laughs and almost slams Skips' arm. "Any last words, Skips?" He asked.

"Two words! Playco Armboy!" Skips said. "Huh?" Death and (Y/n) asked in sync. Bright white beam emerges. Skips slams Death's arm. The room clears. "No! How is this possible?" Death asked. "Death, I won. Bring Rigby back, and take a hike!" Skips shouted. "Skips! Mark my words." Death gets on a motorbike. "Someday, I will have your immortal soul." He makes a portal in the wall and spits Rigby's soul into Rigby's mouth. Rigby coughs and wakes up. Death rides his motorcycle into the portal. "Rigby!" (Y/n) quickly hugs him and catches him off guard.

"Whoa! What-" "don't leave me ever again!" (Y/n) sobs, and Rigby smiles. "I wasn't really planning on it." He said. "Listen, Rigby, sorry for, you know, killing you back there. It was unprofessional." Skips said. "Huh?" Rigby turns and sees stitches in his back. "Oh... so that's why you're so emotional." Rigby said softly to (Y/n). "You know what? Water under the bridge. So you ended up cheating death, huh?" Rigby asked.

"He did." (Y/n) said. "I learned from the best." Skips lifts up the Playco Armboy. "Ohhhh!" Rigby said, and the trio laugh. "Seriously though, you shouldn't cheat. I only did it to save your life." Skips said. "Yeah Rigby, NEVER do that again." (Y/n) said, and he gulps. "I won't." He said. The trio walk through the hallway together. "So, everybody thinks I'm dead?" Rigby asked. "Yup." Skips said. "Dudes, we gotta prank 'em!" Rigby said. "Uh, you know Rigby, I think I've had enough pranks for today." Skips said.
