Did you wonder what happened before/during The Shadow's origin? Well now your about to find out in this short fanfic adaptation of the film that started our cinematic universe. The movie this fic is based on, is on youtube if your impatient. I can't wait to make more of these stories for all of you. Thank you

In the year 2014, somewhere in space:

There is an unknown brown planet, home to an strange alien race called the doominoids. The planet was in a very weak state, and the doominoids were forced to evacuate before it exploded.

They flew away in an octahedron-shaped ship, and adventured to find a new home.

The first planet that their ship approached was the moon, where Canadian astronauts were searching for new discoveries.

"Find anything?" one of the astronauts asked.

"Nope." the other one answered.

"Okay," the first one said, "let's keep looking!"

They proceeded to another area on the moon, when one of them noticed something falling from the atmosphere.

"Hey, what's that?" an astronaut asked.

It was a strange pole with a red light flashing on the top.

"Oh my lord, you did it!" the other astronaut cheered, "We found something mysterious!"

Their communicators started vibrating,"Mr. Carlton, do you copy? Over!"

"Yes, we copy, over!" one of them answered.

"We're getting some weird readings here, over!" the other answered.

"Hand over the data, over!" the voice on the communicator ordered.

"We're on our way to collect it, over!" one of the astronauts responded.

They got closer to the landing sight. "That must be it!" an astronaut said.

"Be careful, Alpha team, over!" the man on the communicator said, "Team Alpha, do you copy?"

All of a sudden, everything went dark and there were static noises. "Alpha team, are you alright?" asked the communicator guy.

A loud scream was all that could be heard, "OH MY GOD, WE LOST THEM!" he said

Later, Back on Earth:

The news was showing a report about capturing superheroes

The news anchor said, "Breaking news, the latest of the so-called superheroes, known only as 'Halem', has been arrested and transferred to an isolated holding facility, awaiting trial for crimes against humanity."

Halem had a purple helmet with 4 red spike on the front, a purple outfit with a giant yellow 'V' on the front, and arm armour.

He was being forced outside of a building by a police officer, with many people taking pictures.

"You guys have no idea what your doing!" Halem yelled, "You'd be nothing without us!"

"Yeah, yeah, whatever, tell it to the judge!" The cop said back to him, "We were fine until YOU FREAKS came along!"

It then cut back to the news anchor, "And a series of crackdowns on superhero activity sent by the president of the United Nations, all whom have said superheroes have been charged with numerous crimes, including destruction of Earth's oil supplies, disturbing the peace, and terrorist activities. And now, our man on the street, James Fadiro. Hello James, what do the people think of the latest development?"

"Hi there," James said, "I actually had to sit down with some locals of the city, and here's what they had to say."

The first citizen that James talked to said, "Those superheroes have been nothing but trouble, and I for one...am glad their getting the punishment they deserve!"

The second one said, "I don't even know where these heroes came from. Do they pay taxes?"

The third one said, "It's just great that we don't have to deal with them anymore. My children could have been in serious danger with their reckless activities."

The forth one said, "Superheroes are awesome, their only here to help. Who's gonna help us now?"

Back in space, the doominoids' ship was approaching earth.

Inside was the control deck, which had a huge map of the galaxy. When it read earth, a list of stats appeared on screen:

Name: Earth

Species: Human

Population: 7 Billion

Atmosphere:

78% Nitrogen

21% Oxygen

2% Water

2% Argon

2% Carbon

"What a beautiful planet we have here!" said a menacing deep voice, "And soon it will be ours for the taking!"

That voice belonged to the doominoids' despicable leader, the evil Lord Doomer. Doomer had long, pointy ears, red face marks, red teeth, long hair, and eyes as empty as his soul. He was wearing a black jacket.

"Indeed, sir." said Viktor, Doomer's right hand man. He wore a big silver helmet that covered his eyes, and nothing but black clothing.

The computer spoke, "The temperature and climate has nearly ideal for our species' survival!"

"Tell me more," Doomer demanded, "is it inhabited?"

The computer showed pictures of different living creatures, "There are a wide variety of lifeforms on this planet, which will be very useful for our species." it said, "However, there is one problem."

"Is it the humans?" Viktor asked.

"Wait!" Doomer interrupted, "I'll ask the questions! Is it the humans?"

"Yes it is," The computer answered, "apparently there are billions of them on this planet. We will need to send the ground forces to prepare for our species' invasion."

"But sir, we lost one of the crystals in the explosion." Viktor disclaimed, "Without it, we can't access the transporting device."

"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME ABOUT THIS SOONER!?" Doomer aggressively asked.

"Sorry sir, I kinda forgot." Viktor answered.

Doomer grabbed Hektor by the neck and chocked him.

"I don't want to hear anymore excuses!" he said, "YOU HEAR ME! NO. MORE EXCUSES!"

He then threw Viktor onto the floor.

"Excuse me sire," the computer said, "I hate to interrupt, but I have located a missing crystal. It is located on the surface of this planet."

"It seems like this planet has everything we need." said Viktor.

"Excellent!" Doomer said, "Give me the location, I'll take care of this personally!"

Back on Earth, at the Montreal Holding Facility:

A man in a suit and hat walked down a hallway to meet with one of the guards.

"Hi, I was sent here by the office to guard this door." the man said.

"Oh yeah, someone told me a noob was coming in." said the security guard, "Is this your first day?"

"Yup." he answered.

"Well not much to do here, kid." the guard told him, "All you have to do is stand here an look good. Nothing good happens around here anyways."

"Gee, thanks..." the man said sarcastically.

Something caught the guard's attention, "That's quite a fancy necklace you've got there."

"Oh, this?" the man asked as he grabbed his necklace, "My Dad gave it to me when I was a little boy. He told me to keep it around my neck for good luck."

"Well, your gonna need all the luck you can get around here rookie." the guard told the man.

"yeah, seems like it." he responded.

The guard walked away from the cell and smirked, "Heh, luck."

Inside the Cell:

"Someone let me out of this place," Halem yelled, "This is unethical!"

"Save your breath, Halem!" said Solarus, one of the other superheroes that were arrested. He had a buzzcut, and he was wearing a red outfit and cape. His powers were fire themed.

"Save your breath? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!" laughed The Illusionist, another arrested hero. He is a strange magician with a top hat, an opera mask, a red bowtie, a white shirt, a black cape and a crazy laugh. His powers are...well his name says it all.

"I pity the fool who got me arrested, no cell can hold me!" said Zunder, another arrested hero. However, Zunder wasn't a meta human like the others, he was a demigod from another world. He wore a white shirt, had wrist guards, a bow with arrows, and wings.

"C'mon guys, what's the point? They really don't want us anyway." said Azure Striker, the last of the arrested heroes in this cell. He had a blue suit with white armour and a blaster. Very similar to that of a fully armoured Mega man X.

Zunder got up from his chair, pointed and yelled, "This is your fault, Striker!"

Striker got up from his chair and asked, "Why is it my fault!?"

Solarus broke the two up, "Alright, enough!" he yelled, "Why do you guys keep doing that?!"

The Illusionist began laughing.

"Shut up, Illusionist!" Solarus yelled.

He got up from his chair and comedically said to his face, "You can't tell me what to do, Lucas."

"NEVER...CALL ME...LUCAS, GARRETT!" Solarus said back.

"Oh, so you want to go there, huh? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!" Illusionist asked.

Back on the Doominoid ship:

"Alright sir, stay still," Viktor told Doomer, "we only have enough energy to do this once."

"Yeah, yeah, I hear ya!" Doomer said.

"Alright, let's get ready to find this gem!" Viktor said, "I've packed a kit including a gem locator, a communicator, and a teleportation beacon to get you back safely."

"Good," Doomer said, "Let's get down there!"

"Remember sir," Viktor reminded, "once you get that gem, our energy will increase. Stick to the schedule."

"Let's go already!" Doomer yelled.

"Activation sequence commenced, in 3, 2, 1!" Viktor called out as he pulled the switch. "See you soon, sir."

Doomer teleported to Earth.

"Data, I have a feeling that this might not work." Viktor said, "Do you really think we need to exterminate the humans in order to inhabit this planet?"

"Well, Doomer has me programmed to destroy first and ask questions later." it answered.

"I see..." Viktor said, "I'm just not sure if I completely trust him."

"Viktor, what is trust?" the computer asked.

"Oh I don't have time for this!" he sighed.
