Hello everyone! Time to begin with the story. This is the first chapter of my first fic so I expect you to help me improve my style with your reviews. Before we start there is something I want to tell you. I will try my best to update this story or add something new at least once a week, but I 'm sure that sometimes I won't be able to do so alright? I hope you enjoy this chapter. I do NOT own hero factory it belongs to LEGO.
IMPORTANT:
Update: I know it isn't so good in the beginning but it gets better later on. If you want any hero factory to appear PM me and I will make sure to put him/her in my story and guess what: I decided to start accepting OCs! Every OC will appear in at least one chapter but it is may even be a permanent addition to the story. If you want your OC to appear, send me a PM with his/hers bio. I can't wait to see them!
Third person POV
It was another normal night in Tree City. Most of the citizens were in clubs or in their homes watching TV or playing games. But not all of them. If one looked at the rooftops they would see someone. A figure in black armor and red eyes with two horns at the sides of his head. The figure's size was a little above average and its sight seemed to be able to see right into your soul. If one was new to the city he would think it was a villain. Wrong. It was Shadow, the Black Lightning.
Shadow's POV
Great. Just great. I'm stuck patrolling the city while the others have one of their meetings (quite a strange way to tell me they will be watching movies). Well… it could have been worse. For example, I could be assigned to take care of Blades so that he doesn't blow anything up… again). It's not that I don't like protecting the city from criminals but tonight I have only arrested a gang that was robbing a citizen and a weird guy who called himself Firelord. Quite boring. I wonder what the others are doing.
Shade's POV
"Shade?" I turned around and I saw a muscular teenager in black and grey armor. He had the drawing of a fire on his left hand and ice was drawn on his right hand. He had to big horns at the sides of his head. He had a troubled look on his face so I instantly knew that he didn't bring good news. "What is it Overlord?". "I just checked our monitor. I picked up some strange energy readings from the east side.". "Oh god, criminals don't have any respect for me. Every time I have a day off something like that happens" Blade said (he was sitting upside-down on his seat). "Do you even know what respect means?" Overlord asked. "Yeah. It means to treat me like the king of this meaningless universe while I make you dance on a Waspix.". "That doesn't make any sense!" Overlord shouted. Blades was a professional when it came to angering my friend. "What? Of course it does! You see-".
I thought it would be a good idea to remind them of my presence and to stop Blades, before he could destroy our sanity. So I did what every woman in my position would have done. I gave both of then a nice punch. It was really effective as they immediately stopped and looked at me. "So what were you saying Overlord?" "Well I picked some weird energy signals. They are like Shadow's energy patterns but there is something weird about them" "What to do you mean?" "It like someone took Shadow's energy output and tripled it." "What?!" It was obvious that I was worried. "Should I tell Shadow to check it out?" "Fine. But tell him that if anything weird happens he must contact us." "All right."
Shadow's POV
I heard a beeping noise. Someone was calling me. I activated the transmission device and I heard Overlord's voice. "Hey man. I picked up some strange energy patterns at the east side. Could you check it out? Also, if anything strange happens contact us immediately." "Roger". Finally some action. I rushed to the site. When I arrived I saw something that send chills down my spine. There was only one person there. It was a male. He was looking towards me. His eyes were like two red fires. He was wearing a black cloak with blue marks on it and he wielded a black sword. The whole area felt like it was completely devoid of life. Then the figure spoke. It told one word in a deep demonic voice. "Soul." "What? Who are you?" "The world will share our pain". Could he even hear me? I then remembered what Overlord has told me earlier and activated my alarm signal. Then the figure attacked.
Overlord's POV
The computers screen turned red. Shadow was sending an alarm signal. "Shade!" "What is it?" "Shadow is in trouble!" "… I'm on it." I turned to Blades but he was asleep (I once tried to wake him up. I spent five weeks in the hospital with bruises covering my whole body). So it was just Shade. I had to make sure Blades didn't kill anyone while sleeping.
Shade's POV
I rushed to Shadow's last known location. As soon as I arrived, I noticed that the street was destroyed and that someone or something was sent flying through a wall. Every building around me had damage that only someone with tremendous strength could have caused. And in the middle of this whole mess I saw Shadow lying unconscious in the middle of a large crater. For an instant I thought I saw a figure above him but it vanished the next second. But this wasn't my main concern. I had to help my friend.
And this concludes the chapter. Who was this mysterious figure? Why did it attack Shadow? What time is it? Why am I asking so many meaningless questions? Stay tuned for the next chapter in less than a week.
Shadow: Why am I injured from the first chapter?
BoF: It is important for the plot.
Shadow: Yeah right...
