RISE OF THE SHADOW KING

HOME:

Dante looked into the endless night sky wishing that this particular moment would last forever. It was to quiet for Dante so he grabbed his earphones and turned on his ipod to his favorite song. Watching the moon move across the sky Dante got up and just stood with is eyes locked to the moon.

"As always I find you looking at the moon." A soft voice said behind him.

"And every time you are getting better at sneaking up on me with those on Tess" said Dante while turning around.

In front of him stood Tess who had brown hair and soft blue eyes. She wore a tight pair of jeans with a tight shirt that stretched across her breasts with words saying YOUR DROOLING. Reaching up to her face he put the palm of his hand against her cheek. Dante said each word with care.

"My Dad has gotten his final orders from the military. He is being transferred to Japan. We are leaving two days from now."

"What about our team that we were going to start."

"You'll just have to do it without me…I have to go help pack. I'll talk to you later hopefully."

Jumping down off of the roof and into the street Dante knew somewhere deep down inside his core he would never see her again. Pulling up onto the side walk Dante heard a pair of sirens start up right beside him.

'Shit, I really don't need this right now'

Quickly, before the cops saw his face Dante threw up his hood so that the shadows covered his face.

"Stop or we will shoot!"

"You'll have to catch me first."

Dante then shot up into the sky and onto a roof of a building. On the roof Dante looked up into the sky and saw a cloud partially cover the moon suddenly two blue streaks appeared and landed 20 feet away from Dante.

"Stay were you are kid"

"So cops are now using ATs too, huh? By the looks of it those are top of the line too. Well to bad they are not good enough."

"You'll see kid how fast these are."

"Oh, I'm not saying that they aren't fast I'm just saying that they were probably made for you not by you. Look at the moon see how beautiful it is only a shame that people don't look at it more. They cover it up by having all these lights on, its like everyone is afraid of the dark and in doing so they cover up the moons radiance. Tell me gentlemen are you afraid of the dark?"

The cops looked at Dante in disbelief. Asking a question like that.

"Only a chicken would be afraid of the dark."

Dante's mouth suddenly turned into a menacing smile "You will be…You will be." Suddenly Dante launched himself at the cops. Two feet from the cops the cloud shifted so that the cloud blocked the moon's light. The cops tensed waiting for the kid to come and attack but it never came instead a deep chill spread through them and both of them heard a single menacing voice saying

"Welcome to true darkness."

Twenty seconds after the darkness came Dante was casually riding away from the roof top.

Upon reaching his house Dante took off his ATs and placed on his own shoes on. Right as he placed his ATs in a bush the front door of his house suddenly opened and his dad poked his head out and said

"Bring them in"

Debating on whether to attempt to run for it Dante decided against it and followed the orders. Walking into his house Dante kicked off his shoes and dropped his ATs down to the ground by his shoes. Stepping into the living room Dante noticed how most of the stuff was packed except the TV which was playing a news reel about a dog gone missing.

"What did I do now."

"Just wait."

Just then the news switched stories. The reporter in the TV said "We now bring you an important news story. Two police officers were found on a roof top today. Both were in shock and when woken by the hospitial had only remembered one thing about the incident and they have been repeating it ever since. The word was….Darkness. It has been confirmed that this incident has been connected with the new popular trend amoung kids and young adults called ATs. The TV went blank and Dante's Dad said. "You did this didn't you. Yes I thought so…Your leaving tomorrow mourning for Tokyo then."

"What, why!?!"

"You are causing a mayhem one time you are going to go to far one time and you will kill somebody."

"Fine, I'll start to pack."

Turning around Dante left the living room, and picked up his ATs from the floor when a hand shot out and grabbed them from him.

"You'll be going to Japan without your ATs, its time you start getting some responsibility for one you are going to get a job and start earning money for yourself."

Without a word Dante went upstairs to his room where he grabbed his suitcases and started packing his essentials like change of clothes, CDs, laptop and other things. When he was done Dante had 3 suitcases filled that were piled at the door. Grabbing his bedside book which was on how to speak Japanesse.

'Thank God that I started speaking Japanese early on, or else I would be F***ed.' Thought Dante as he laid down and promptly fell asleep.
