The Crisis Begins Arc: Chapter 1: Times in Paradise

Sun Shadow's Base: 12:31 P.M Tuesday, December 15th 2013 Three Months After Arriving

Despite the sun rising it was still a gray day, gray and white clouds littered the sky blocking out anything that was in the sky. A common sight in the winters of Chicago. Snow fall lasted for two days straight making mounds of snow that blocked off nearly every entrance that was on street level but soldiers and workers made why by mowing down the snow and despite the still high level of snow it was a normal day just a lot more colder to the newcomers and long time residents of Chicago.

Even in the zombie apocalypse things were just as normal as it use to, just with a few additions. People walked the streets covered head to toe in heavy winter coats, gloves, scarfs, and boots. Kids stuck next to their parents covered like the adults all around. Merchants yelled from their stalls offering discount prices for Christmas gifts while many flocked over to get the good items for their love ones. Just a normal before Christmas time which brings us to our heroes returning from another successful mission.

'' This sucks! Why the hell did we take that job?'' Eddy asked his breath clearly shown in the winter air rudely dressed finely in the Sun Shadower uniform for his fighter type. Dark blue pants and boots and black long sleeve shirt. Over that was a black bullet proof vest and had bendable knee and elbow pads. Due to the cold he wore a yellow jacket throwing off the color.

His weapons was on both his sides which was two different sub-machine guns, one was the M-12 Locust which was used for stealth and assault fights and was Eddy's favorite. Low clip, Medium damage, high fire rate and accuracy. On the right was his full on assault SMG which was the MP7 Eddy's favorite with Extended Mags and Red Dot Sight. He had gotten his first two yo-yos from Cori at the cost of melting down his blades and making them into said yo-yos. There completely metal and four blades stuck out when he pressed the button on the side There was green dollar signs on them with black on the rest of the yo-yo.

'' I agree with Eddy, I did not come with all my weapons to handle a small band of Townies.'' Ed said his voice slightly deeper. He wore a bulkier form than the other two, just a standard custom made bulletproof armor from the military, dark blue and purple camouflage. Under all the protection was a light blue shirt, olive green pants, and jade colored boots. He gave up his jacket after the Event. On one of the belt straps that was on him was a silver skull mask. The material helped keep him warm.

His weapons consists of a PKP Pecheneg with a US Holographic Sight, three C4 packs, a SPAS-12 with Buckshot bullets, and a 44. Magnum for his sidearm. On his back was a case of ammo for explosives, rocket launchers, and guns. His Heavy Cestus which was silver and had spiked knuckles nearly doubled his already superhuman strength. All of the weapons and the ammo case made it heavy for even Ed to keep up.

'' At least the credits was good, four hundred more to my savings and Eddy, I think we should consider ourselves lucky to even get a job in this cold and just ten days away from Christmas.'' Double D remarked checking his card with his scanner to see how much money he had. Edd wore black gloves with metal plating on the back and fingers with slits at the finger joints so bend. He had on a bulletproof vest and that was pretty much it for his protection. He wore a black shirt under the vest and black pants and boots. Around his neck was a theM.P.V.G(Multiple Purpose Vision Goggles) a new tech goggles made by the Tech Division back at their base that was just like the goggles Dante made but improved.

Double D had only three weapons. Two G18 Suppressed and his own special weapons: the M98B Bravo with a Bipod. On his back was a small back pack which contained his Cloak that blends in to the environment around him so basically he was invisible as long as his entire body was covered by the Cloak.

'' So I rather be at the Coffee Bar than be here.'' Eddy muttered.

'' Ah yes I keep forgetting your drinking problem,'' Edd said sarcastically,'' you know spending your time drinking isn't a good way for you to continue your life. God knows why the government would say that kids after the age of fourteen can join a Guild and that makes them an adult. Besides that Lee wouldn't want you to live this way.'' Edd said.

Eddy stopped dead in his tracks making the others stop as well. Eddy turned pulling out his MP7 and aiming it directly at the teen's head and Edd stood still his face emotionless as he and Eddy stared down. Ed stood by sweating.

'' Don't you ever fucking say what Lee would have want for me. You didn't know her the way I did.'' Eddy said the venom nearly visible.

'' We were friends and I know that she wouldn't want you mopping around. Its nearly been three months since it happened and Ed has move on, he even went on dating again. At best Lee would be disappointed in what you are doing.'' Edd said knowing he was in dangerous territory and he saw Eddy's trigger finger twitch and his hands slowly moved to his pistols in their holsters. Before anything could happen Eddy huffed and turned putting his weapon away and walking from the two Eds. Edd moved his hands back to his side watching his friend's back as he walked away from them.

'' You think that was a good idea making Eddy mad?'' Ed asked.

'' No, but he needs to grow up its been three months since their deaths I thought he would man up and move on.'' Double D stated.

'' Well Double D I think you were wrong for what you said. You still have Marie while Eddy and I lost Lee and May. Unless you experience the same lose you will never see Eddy's perspective on the matter. I may have moved on but my heart still belongs to May and forever will be no matter how many times I fall in love.'' Ed told to the smart-Ed and with that walked away from Edd.

'' When did I become the bad guy.'' Double D sighed as he was left alone and made way to catch up to them his boots crunching on the snow covered sidewalk as he did so.

Nearly three months has pass since the Group arrived to their new home called New Chicago, one of the three strongholds that was all that was left of civilization. The others were Washington D.C and L.A, there was small colonies but had no near importance as the strongholds, who steel black walls kept the citizens safe inside and for life to continue as if the virus never happened, just different. After coming to the city and joining Jon Capler's assassin order called the Sun Shadows.

In agreement they were assign trainers that taught them their deadly arts and became stronger by the day. A week later, Jon' strategy, to many in the order considered genius and perfect, which was to capture a base to restart the Sun Shadows, which was destroyed decades ago by corruption and betrayals. In the process ranks were made among the Shadowers. Jon was considered the Leader and Alpha Shadow, those who was high rank but lower than Jon was called Elites and consists of Cori, Brunzo, La, June, Antony, and four new Elites joined, Techlin, Kasumi Goto, Oron S. Valk, and Corvo Attano.(Yes I added these guys.)

Techlin was already strong enough to able to take on a small army. Kasumi Goto was a middle age Asian woman who wore black clothing similar to a medieval thief and who identity was unknown to all but Jon who promised not to say a word. She was the one who brung the Cloaking technology to them and was considered the best thief in the world, though her enemies were many, they all didn't know what she looked like or her name. Her skills included primary stealth and since it was a thing everyone needed in the Sun Shadows she taught everyone on her expertise but not all and few were given the Cloak

Oron S. Valk, as he said last time with his encounter with the group, was an expert medical soldier whose skills were unmatched by many. He taught the medics of each platoon. Finally was Corvo Attano, a strong man, who was a bodyguard to late wife, Jessamine Kaldwin, in L.A and barely escaped with his and his daughter's life who was heir to a successful company with millions of dollars. He was set on revenge and killed nearly everyone in his quest up into the point of getting to the one in charge but he slipped away and so he and his daughter ran. He was much like Kasumi, but was more of stealth attack than reconnaissance like Kasumi, Jon said to evaluate him he asked to clear a small base of Jackals, twenty-three bandits in all, and he did so with one blade, and without alerting anyone. It was apparent that his daughter, Emily Kaldwin, lived in the base and helped out when she could.

Lower rank than the Elites was the 1st and 2nd Lieutenants, with some Elites having one not two. The 1st Lieutenants was the Ed under Brunzo, Eddy under Cori and La, and Double D under June and Kasumi, Kevin under Antony, Rolf under Frantz, Dante under Jon. The 2nd lieutenants was Sarah under Brunzo, Marie under Antony, the deceased Lee was under June, and Double D under Jon.

Under the lieutenants was Shadows, Shadows has the option of choosing who to train under the Elites and Lieutenants. Since Elites were busy with other Clan affairs the Lieutenants was the one in charge of a Platoon. Each Platoon had at least one from each Elite Class as to be effective in all situations and to cover teammates weaknesses. For example someone under Jon's teaching will be effective at technological means and recons and are usually the strategist of the group and in battle was not as good as any other person, to cover that weakness those under Brunzo's or Cori's teaching will be able to cover for that with their attack styles.

But in the following month that they arrived the good went bad, on a mission to take down a small band of Townies Lee was headshot by a sniper, just like that in front of Eddy. A clean headshot and she was gone, the first thing Eddy did was give in to shock until anger consumed him and he charged in taking down the Townies in a bloody massacre, and taking it real slow with the sniper. They all grieved her death and Eddy reacted in his own vice. Through himself into training for days on end once even staying up an entire week training using pure determination to energize him and when they stopped him he slept for two days straight and ate enough to make Ed look weak. He went back to training but to a lesser extent.

But another vice came when a law passed that teenagers could register under a Guild or Faction name at the age of fourteen and made them legally adults meaning everything that an adult can do the kids could do. That including drinking, Eddy went to bars and drunk his sorrows away. Ed, Sarah and reunited with their mom after a few week of looking, opened the Coffee shop that they wanted and was a hit after two months of opening, but at night it changed to a bar for the more rough up men. Eddy usually spend his time there now. The shop was called a simple name: The Lane's Coffee Bar whose slogan was ''Coffee at day, Beer at Night''.

The reunion was not one of specially like in the movies, there was no crying, no sunshine, Ed and Sarah was shopping through the market scouring the stalls for stuff needed to start the Coffee Bar, and they just bumped into her looking for supplies to look for them, they just hugged and talked and that was it. They were reunited and that was all that mattered, they talked of their plans and she agreed to help and the Lane's Coffee Bar was born.

May's death came soon after, she and Ed were taking a Courier job to La Crosse taking some packages to help them rebuild. On their way there they were ambushed by Gearheads and though they were successful in protecting their cargo, but May was fatally wounded and they rushed to La Crosse, the wound was infected and to large and the doctors tried but she was declared dead on October 16, 2013 at 2:49 A.M.

Ed was a wreck and was emotionally damaged, it took a month but he, with the support of all his friends and family, moved on. He started dating after another month.

To everyone it was a sad revelation that no matter how strong or good they get, their was always the chance of death happening to anyone closest to them or themselves. Even Jon stated that the high ranking List Agents are able to be killed by even the weakest of people, but they were always ready for any conflict. List Agents are chosen for war means, but another is to do the dirty work of the governments. They are chosen for unparalleled skills such as his bio-synthetic research and advancement or Techlin being some of the few people in the world to tap into spiritual energy that empowers him to do outstanding feats its a combination of spiritual and physical energy known as Kido and is even fewer in masters of Kido.

Edd looked behind as he could have sworn to have saw someone following him but dismissed it, his sniper training made him more jumpy lately. He soon caught up to Ed and after two minutes later to Eddy. Eddy still fumed from what Double D said and said boy was now feeling guilty for what he said.

' Maybe I was out of line...' The sniper thought.'' Eddy?'' He called out his name and received no answer.'' Eddy?'' This time he heard a grunt in response. ' At least he'll hear me out.'

'' Look Eddy...I was out of line for wha-'' '' Save it Sockhead, I already know you didn't mean it.'' Eddy interrupted the surprised Double D.

'' How I didn't-'' '' Sockhead I know you well enough to know that after a few minutes of saying something bad you'll feel guilty and try to apologize. The only reason I stopped you was because I bet it would sound cheesy.'' Eddy said punching Edd's arm.

'' I don't sound cheesy!'' Eddward said to his short friend.

'' Sure you don't.'' Ed responded.

'' I don't!'' Edd exclaimed.

'' Yeah, yeah. I need to get me a drink.'' Eddy said making a turn around the corner.

'' I'll go with you, I used up all my lunch time. Plus Eddy, we still need the money that is on your tab, or do you want it to build up more until your in debt to us forever?'' Ed asked and Eddy sighed as they continued to walk in the direction of the coffee shop.

'' I'll head back to base, I need to check on somethings!'' Double D shouted out to them and received backward waves. Eddward headed into the direction of the gate.

Over time the base was always the way it was when they got it. But once Jon and Antony trained more in their art, they started to upgrade the base. The first month there was scaffolds and noisy construction everywhere and the personal construction team consisting of the Eds, Dante and everyone that worked under Bronzo. It took a month but it was soon made into like a more livable place. Floors was clean, walls was painted, their insignia was on the walls that guarded them, the gates received an upgrade. And much more.

Two months passed and it was truly their base. The computer lab along with a few other rooms became the technical support where research and security was ran. A workout room in the gym for everyone to use. The lunch room stayed that way for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and was where big announcements were made. The last rooms of the floor was for mechanics and where they worked on vehicles and traps which took a lot of reconstruction to make a garage door. The top floor was the med bay and lounge that everyone used. It had a 90 inch flat screen T.V that came from Jon's personal funds and Cori told them that there wasn't even a dent in his savings when he made the purchase. A bar, some purple couches and recliners. The walls separated the rooms was removed as a result of that.

It was called Purgatory to the Shadowers. There was always relaxing there, no troubles, just fun and fun. There was no need to be serious or anything. Even Jon once was there and everyone's perspective of their uptight leader changed, he finished winning blackjack.

The teen boy sighed as he shook the memories away. He was now walking down the street to the base, since they were making constant trips back and forth the gates were always open and walkers were a lot less frequent. Plus Edd knew he was now more than capable of taking care of himself, having taken many solo missions.

'' At least my skills are better, not the greatest or best, but still at least good.'' Edd noticed that everyone was improving but at a faster rate. Determination filled them all to the brim and each day their strengths in their skills grew.

As he walked by, he heard a screech to his right and looked and saw a group of Sprinters heading his way. At first he would had ran to try and find a hiding spot, but instead he pulled out his GI8 Suppressed and waited, as soon as they were a few feet in front of his he released the volley of bullets as the automatic pistols lay the ammo on them killer all but one who was shot in the gut and arms, bleeding greatly and launched at Double D who side stepped it and pulled a knife out of his shoe and dived for the down zombie as it was getting up, his boot slammed on the back, and he plunged his knife deep through it's head and it stopped moving.

Double D removed his knife, hearing the family sound of bone and brain meat making that sickening squelching. He grabbed a cloth in his pocket and wiped the blood off his Ballistic Knife. As he did so he heard a slow clapping and immediately got out his pistols and pointing in the direction of the sound which was on the roof of a building on the left of him. On the ledge was a boy about his age and dressed in a fully back cloak that covered everything but his clapping hands and crossed feet. Double D tried to get a look under the hood and was met with blue eyes shaped like sunglasses.

Double D started to sweat as he stopped clapping and just stared.'' You gotten tougher in my absence, Eddward, I wonder if everyone else is just as skilled.''

' Wait that voice is familiar.' Edd thought as the mystery man stood up and jumped off the ledge landing in a crouch and standing up like he didn't drop from three stories. On his back in a cross was two staffs, half the size of a usual staff and on their end was scythes, one had a dark, dangerous, look and was dark purple and black. The other had a silver look and was bended a little for grip and had black eccentric designs and looked a lot less dangerous than the other(As Always look it up on my Profile.)

'' Hmm do you really think you ca kill me with those puny weapons? Come on Double D it'll take a hundred times that to even scratch me.'' The mysterious boy continued and Edd eyes widen before he put his weapons back in their holsters a small grin graced his lips.

'' Techlin! You are back, I guess your mission was successful?'' Double D said now remembering his friend who was gone for nearly two months.

Techlin pulled back his hood, showing his slightly longer and wilder hair. The sunglasses he had on was taken off showing his dark blue eyes. Techlin barely changed in anything but hair over his time gone.

Techlin came forward and shook hands with his pal.'' I say Techlin, you sure are looking more stronger than ever, may I ask what weapons you are now wielding?'' Double D asked looking at the two scythes.

'' While I was gone, I wanted to live my dream weapon: Dual Wielding Scythes. So I took my staff and my blades and got a master blacksmith. He crafted these weapons for me and I thanked him well for it. The dark one is called Oblivion and the silver is Oathkepper.''(Yes Kingdom Hearts Fans, I shall be heard!)

'' I'm guessing you would show me and the others your new style soon?'' Double D asked ad Techlin nodded. Edd continued his walking to the base, and Techlin joined him.

'' When did you get back?'' Edd asked.

'' A hour ago, just got done with debrief and was heading for the base until I saw you and decided to watch.'' Techlin replied.

'' How you like the show?'' Edd jokingly asked.

'' You got stronger, but you're still weak in my eyes.'' Techlin said.

'' What is that suppose to me, I'll have you know that I have improved drastically in my marksmen ship, agility, my technological skills, and strategies!'' Edd exclaimed feeling a little offended.

'' Sorry, but I compare anyone and anything with my own strength and in the few minutes we have been talking, I could have killed you in over twenty ways.'' Techlin said chuckling, some of the kills he thought of was hilarious.

'' Are you in amusement of varying ways of my demise? That is just cruel.'' Edd told the boy and Techlin shrugged the toothy grin on him showing.

'' Sorry, sometimes my little demon can make the funniest deaths. The real funny one wa-''

'' I don't want to know the sick way of deaths that you envision of me.'' Double D interrupted him.

'' Okay, okay.'' Techlin said and the walk was in silence for a few minutes the walls of the base was in view from the distance.'' How is Ed and Eddy doing after Lee and May's deaths?''

''(Sigh) Ed is doing fine and is trying to move on, he even started going out with some of the teens his age, and he went into his training even harder than before. Eddy on the other hand took up in training as well, but more harder than Ed, he took up to drinking, I'm sure you heard of the law of teens joining a guild at fourteen and becoming an adult and I don't need to say no more.'' Edd explained rubbing the bridge of his nose.

'' That's good I guess, how about my little Chi training I left for you guys? You didn't even give it a chance didn't you?'' Techlin asked quickly.

'' Oh that, well a lot of people tried it and have improved somewhat, I just don't have the time for it.'' Edd told the scythe wielder.

'' Oh come on, its not like Aura. Chi is more of spiritual peace and whatnot. Its just boost your brain into improving yourself both mentally and sometimes physically. How you think I'm still sane?'' Techlin said.

'' Okay I'll give it a try, but not promises.'' Double D said as they reached the gate which showed the insignia. A man called out to them from the gate and the two looked up to see an African-American woman with black hair and the heavy set, just like Ed though with one arm guard missing.

'' Please state your business here.'' The woman said in boredom not wanting to be there. Double D couldn't blame her, gate duty was the least liked job of the entire clan.

'' Tana you know me.'' Double D said confused.

'' My statement was not directed to you Lieutenant Eddward, but to the stranger next to you.'' Tana explained.

'' Its me, Elite Techlin David Gates, reporting from duty after two month absence!'' Techlin shouted up not knowing she could hear him at normal volume. But her surprise was easily shown on her face.

'' Oh Elite Techlin! I'm sorry I didn't recognize you! I'll contact Alpha Shadow Jon of your arrival!'' Tana yelled back and she disappeared from their view, the door opened a second with a slight creaking noise being heard as it opened and the two moved in and when they were pass them the gates closed behind them.

'' Well Eddward, I'll see you later, tell the others I said hi!'' Techlin said running from Double D with a backward wave.

'' Bye!'' Double D yelled to the running boy. Edd turned and walked in the direction of the Yard, the school area where kids used to play for recess, now turned into a training field for weapons, the playground parts were disassemble and made into practice dummies all lined up at varying ranges.

It was split into three ranges. Short-Range was thirty-six yards, Mid-Range was seventy-two yards, and Long-Range was ninety yards and more. Most snipers practiced on the roofs from varying distances and it was good practice. That was what Eddward Marion Neon needed now, practice and more practice. This time he was going to break the ninety yards line that so many others in the secret society had already done.

With Ed and Eddy at the Coffee Bar

'' Come on Eddy, you have to take a break for Christmas. No one will be at the merchant stalls on that day and you know it.'' Ed said trying to convince his friend.

'' No damn way am I taking a break, I finally selling some of the jewelry I took from that place back at home. This is my chance to make it big and I'm not slowing down!'' Eddy told his big friend. After finding a jewelry store after a few weeks, he was able to confirm that three fourths of the jewelry was real and the others were backups for display leaving him with a lot less than he hoped to sell.

He kept the fake and after a few weeks of waiting for his merchant permit to be pass he bought a stall about a week later and opened up. It took two months but he able to get dozens of customers and sold over five hundred dollars of jewelry, and used much of it on alcohol. He was still successful nonetheless and didn't want to stop.

'' Everyone needs to take a break everyone once in a while.'' Ed told his friend as they walked up to the glass doors of the entrance to the coffee shop. The shop had two glass windows separated by the door showing the inside of the shop. Through the right window there was the counter which held the pastries that were on display and served to the customers. Behind it was the beer that was covered by a black curtain that was pulled to the side at night.

On the left window showed the round tables with comfy chairs. There was fifteen tall glass tables in all with three chairs for each one. There was two, long and brown, sofas, one at the end of the shop and the other with its back to the window. There was long glass, wooden bordered, coffee tables in front of them. The floors was tiled plaid white and brown and the walls painted light coffee color. A steel chandelier was hanging on the ceiling providing a light and relaxing lighting.

There was about thirteen or fifteen customers talking with friends, typing on laptops, or just relaxing with a nice cup of coffee, and staying warm and relax. This was the sight that Ed and Eddy entered in, and behind the wooden and glass counter was the Lane siblings' mom, Ana Lane.

Ana was a light tan woman, and looked like an older Sarah with longer hair, a beautiful face, a nice pair of breast, and stood at six feet. She wore a white apron, round glasses, and dark brown pants with a yellow shirt.

'' Hi mom, where is Sarah wasn't it her shift before I left?'' Ed asked his forty six year old mom.

'' Sarah went to go get some items for me, and Ed, please take off those weapons and give your mom a hand.'' Ana told Ed and the boy complied as he went to the back to change.

Eddy reached and grabbed hold of a chair and pulled, not knowing a customer was sitting, a shout of surprise and a loud crash was heard. Eddy turned around with the chair being held in his hands to see a big and muscular and bald guy, with a dark yellow color and white pants with some winter boots now stained with dark brown coffee stains and a coffee cup on the ground with some coffee still inside but slowly flowing out. His heavy jacket was on the floor with the knocked down table with the glass shattered, some of the pieces of glass on the coat. A few feet away was his laptop with a spider web crack on the screen. The white man stood full height and looked himself over pulling his shirt out to see the stain and then he crumbled the parts of his shirt that he was holding and turned his dark green eyes staring angrily at Eddy.

'' What the fuck is your damage kid!?'' The man shouted his high voice rang easily to everyone in the shop, stopping all whispers and comments of his fall. Eddy stared in boredom at the man with the angry face as he stomped closer til he was bending down and in Eddy's face.

'' You fucked up my four hundred laptop, my jacket and my shirt you small piece of shit! I want insurance for all my stuff right... now!'' The man shouted pointing to all the damaged objects before grabbing the scruff of Eddy's jacket and stood at his full height with Eddy suspended into the air.

'' Oh I'm sorry, I broke your crappy jacket, spilled some coffee on your gay clothes, and broke your laptop with all your child porn on it!'' Eddy burst with laughter at his jokes and the man only got angrier, he drew back his fist, only to stop when he heard the a click, looked down to see a pistol hold at his chest, his surprise eyes stared back to Eddy's mirth filled eyes.

'' You won't get halfway to with that fist before I pull the trigger, not so big now you dumb shit!'' Eddy said lowly in his ear pushing the pistol into his chest to make his point.

'' Go ahead, if I die, I can enjoy watching you from hell as you rot away in prison! There are enough witnesses to see what you did!'' The man exclaimed. By this time many of the people watching were about ready to leave.

Before this could turn to a crime scene, Ed came from the back with a black shirt, pants and gray apron, with his normal shoes. On his apron was a green name tag with his name on it. He saw Eddy and a man and a gun and a fist drawn back. Ed came in between of two, taking the clip out of Eddy's gun and dropping it, pushing back the man and Eddy and asked tiredly.'' What did you do Eddy?''

'' I didn't do nothing!'' Eddy lied.

'' We all saw you pull the man's chair down, break the table and his laptop, plus stain his clothes.'' A random customer called out.

'' Shut the fuck up!'' Eddy shouted to the small crowd pulling out a gun but Eddy took it a second later.

'' Eddy you can't pull guns on customers or anyone else in this stronghold. And you did do it Eddy.'' Ed said plainly.

'' No I didn't, how could you think that of me lumpy?'' Eddy asked.

'' Because its something you would do, plus my mom told me which is why I am here.'' Ed asked and gave a wink to his mom, who winked back.'' I'm sorry sir, we will pay for all of your broken items and the one responsible will make sure to pay for your coffee at our establishment for an entire year.'' Ed said looking to Eddy who huffed and turned his back to Ed.

'' He better, I can't wait to receive my free coffee next time.'' The man grabbed his things and left slamming the door, cracks formed in the two glasses of the door.

'' Eddy Skipper Johnson! Do you have any idea how much you cost us? I hope your parents will hear of this back in L.A, you owe us four-hundred more to your tab, plus eighty-nine for the table, plus the money you owe the man! You better start bringing money in or your banned from the store!'' Ana Lane was furious at Eddy, and was planning on telling his alive parents who were in L.A.

'' Mom!'' Ed cried in protest.

'' No Ed, this is the last straw!'' Ana said to her son and he remained quiet.

'' Oh whatever, I'll find another place for my drinks!'' Eddy angrily said walking out of the Coffee Bar slamming the door behind him and the glass shattered onto the ground.

'' Fucking bitch, telling me to pay up or get ban. Who the fuck she thinks she is, my mom? The guy shouldn't have been sitting there in the first place!'' Eddy muttered his complaints as he stomped away from the shop, not seeing the man that he knocked over on the roof above him.

'' Sir, I have just made contact with one of the Sun Shadows top members, Lieutenant Eddy Skipper Johnson, should I initiate the plan.'' The man said in the ear piece.

'' Good, Eddy Skipper Johnson a.k.a the Blaze, such a talented boy. Too bad he will have to be dealt with. Maybe we can turn his views around? Yes that does sound good, make him our inside man. Try to rub him up to our cause, the little action you did in the Coffee Bar is a good start.'' The disguised voice said in a deep voice.

'' You saw, Apex?'' The man's voice was of surprise as he looked below to see him among the crowd, but he only saw a camera looking straight at him.

'' I see everything in my city, initiate the new plan as soon as you clean up. Buddy him up, make him see his friends in a new light, hmmmm?'' The man known as 'Apex' said and he clicked out.

'' Eddy? Hes close to my other target.'' The mysterious man said as he turned from the ledge and walked away.

And Scene! So after so long, I finally have our little story and the first chapter done. And right off the bat I left a cliffhanger, nice!

Yes people, Chi will be part of this story, not like in the other story no. In a way its like Haki in One Piece. If you want more information I suggest to go on my profile after a few days after I make a proper comparison, but for those who want a sense in what direction I'm going then go to One Piece Wiki and search Haki and just read them.

So my friends here I am to say a good day or night to all.

Next Chapter!
