Thy Name Is Shadow

        Elena made her way to the table and sat down. "So, Elena, see 
anything interesting,"asked Ryudo.
"No, not really, just looked around." Elena then looked over at Becky and 
Brandan. They were playing some kind of
game. Both had their left hand cupped with each other and they were moving 
their right hands. "What are you guys 
doing?" Brandan looked up. "Oh, hi, Elena. We're just playing Rooster to pass 
the time. It's real fun." "How do you
play,"asked Elena. Becky looked up this time. "It's easy. You know how to 
play Rock, Paper, Scissors, right?" "Yeah,
but that's not what your playing, is it?" "Kinda. You see, Rooster has Rock, 
Paper, Scissors in it. First, you and a 
partner cup hands, like so....,"Becky and Brandan lift up their cupped 
hands,"..then, using your free hand, play Rock,
Paper, Scissors. Whoever loses, the other player hits the losers hand. And, 
that's pretty much it. Here, watch." 
Becky and Brandan begin to play. Brandan does Paper and Becky does Rock. 
Brandan puts on a smirk and slaps 
Becky's hand. "OOOOOOOOWWWW, that really hurt. You said you weren't going to 
do it hard you jerk!" "Hahaha,
Becky, your such a weakling."Becky took back her hand and began to shake and 
blow on it. ''Elena, you want to try?
It's a really fun and abusive game." "No thank you." Ryudo turned to Brandan. 
"I'm up. The real challange is right 
here." "Ha, all right, here we go." Brandan and Ryudo get ready. Jim and 
Flash watch Becky blow on her red hand 
and begin to laugh and diss Becky out. Elena watches as Ryudo and Brandan 
start. "Rock,Paper,Scissors says....
SHOOT!"Both do Rock, so they do it again. They also do Scissors together and 
try again. This time, Brandan gets
Rock and Ryudo gets Scissors. Brandan slaps Ryudo's hand really hard. "Ah! 
Aw, man. That fricken hurt." The two 
play again. This time, Ryudo does Paper and Brandan does Rock. Ryudo smirks 
and slaps Brandan's hand. Brandan
pulls back him hand and rubs it. "Ow,Ow,Ow! That hurts, man! Fudge, you son 
of a biscut!" Elena laughs at two.
The waiter then comes over and gives them their food. "All, right. I'm 
starved!,"says Brandan. Everyone then digs 
into their meals each talking and making eye-contact with eachother.
    After everyone was done, the gang went back to the van. Flash ran in 
first and jumped up on the couch, 
where Brandan joined him. Jim ran to his room and came back with his laptop. 
He parked himself in a nearby chair.
He took a pair of goggles that were attached to the computer by a wire and 
slipped them around his head. The 
moment he turned on the screen, the goggles lit up as well. Jim began to type 
really fast and different windows kept
appearing on the screen. becky walked past him and went to take a shower. 
Elena just sat in her usual seat by the 
drivers seat. Ryudo just sits on the counter and watches Jim type away. "Say, 
Jim. What are you doing?" 
"Nothing really, just break some codes here and there, delete wasted file, 
and other such stuff." Ryudo lifted his
eyebrow a bit. "Wow, is that what all hackers do?" Jim gives a slight nod. 
Brandan looks at Jim, then Ryudo. "This
is what he does in his spare time. CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK. It's so 
annoying." Brandan then looks over at Elena
who is staring into space. "Hey, Elena. You're real quiet. What's up? 
Something bothering you?" Elena snaps out
of her stare. "Huh? Oh, I'm just thinking about something, nothing 
important." Becky walks out of the bathroom and
heads for her room. Ryudo watches her. "Becky, you going to bed already? It's 
only 9 o'clock." Becky just nods and
walks into her room and closes the door. A few hours pass, everyone gets real 
bored and decides to hit the sack. 
Everyone gets to their spot and fall asleep. Unknown to anyone, a dark figure 
moves along the shadows to 
enterance to the deep fissure in the rear of the town. The figure looks to 
see if anyone is watching, the coast is clear
so he rushes inside. The figure makes his way to the center of the fissure. 
All the monsters in the fissure watch him
and cower in fear as they sense his immense power. The figure then comes to 
the seal where the Eye of Valmar was 
kept. "Here is the seal, but where is the.....ah!'' The figure spots a door 
blended in with the wall next to the seal. The 
figure goes over to it and places his hand on the door. It glows a dark red 
and opens. The figure smiles and proceeds
in. The room is covered in dust and have paintings all over the walls. This 
doesn't concern the figure much. He looks
around and spots what he's after. A large, black capsule is in the center of 
the room. The figure walks up to it.  
"Ah, I haven't seen you in over 10,000 years my friend. I've been waiting for 
you. It is time to join forces and take 
back the world which is ours for the taking. HAHAHAHA! 
Now......AWAKEN......SHADOW!!!!!!!" Two eyes begin
to glow in the capsule. The capsule glows red and a figure all curled up 
inside can be seen. The glass of the capsule
crackes, then shatters and water sprays out of the tank. When the dust 
settles, an automata stands in the center of
the tank. He's very tall and has all black clothes. The automata's skin is a 
very light shade of grey and he has black
hair. On his arms, sharp, metal claws and on his face are black markings 
under his eyes. On his back-side, there is a
long, metal tail that is covered with electro-magnetic waves. The dark figure 
walkes over to the automata. "It's been
a long time, hasn't it, Shadow." Shadow's red eyes glow and he kneels before 
the figure. "Still my loyal friend. This
world is ours now. But first, we must find the Key Of Granas and awaken 
Gaia." Shadow nods and makes a low sort
of growl. "Yes, my friend, we must prepare. To celebrate our reunion, let's 
hae some fun with the villagers of Mirumu,
what do you think, Shadow?" Shadow made a kind of sound like Flash, only much 
deeper.
