Here is chapter two! I know that I'll have some mistakes while I write this and I will miss them, how? I've no idea... XD
So, why don't we get this... Oh, you know what, I'm just going to say it! Why don't we get this show on the road! :D
Volt flicked his ear, the smile still on his muzzle as he stared at his old friend. She hasn't changed one bit, He thought, a smirk now grazing his mouth. I wonder... Volt glanced back at the other four shadow wielders, mostly two of the taller boys. Volt chuckled softly. I guess I can have some fun with this. Turning his attention back to Kluke Volt asked, "Have you found yourself a boyfriend yet?"
This caused Dark to sigh and the other fox and the yellow bird to chuckle. Kluke on the other hand, had a blush across her face and she stuttered with her words.
"Wh-what!? You have changed one bit, have you?" She asked, once she got herself composed, except the blush was still there. Volt turned around and shrugged his shoulders sheepishly.
"I guess I haven't changed one bit, but you're the one talkin', not me." Volt placed his paws in his pants pockets and closed one eye, a smirk on his face. Dark flicked his ear and turned his attention on the other four shadow wielders, seeing their confused and surprised faces. Marumaro turned his attention towards Shu and poked the brown-haired boy's arm. Shu looked over at the devee and saw that he was pointing over at the four animals.
"Do you know who they are, maro," he asked and Shu blinked, scratching the back of his head as he stared over at the four animals, with Kluke and Phoenix standing in front of them, and with Bouquet (who he just noticed), standing behind Kluke, Hippo already summoned.
"I... Really don't know any of them," he finally replied, moving his head towards the right a little as he gave a sheepish grin. Jiro sighed and shook his head. Dark could easily tell that the other boy was pretty annoyed with the two of them. Dark flicked one of his ears and he started glowing with blue-and-black power.
"Black Fox, finish this up," he shouted turning around and pointing one claw towards Kluke's and Phoenix's direction.
"You got it," Black Fox replied, charging towards the two. Kluke held her arms out and she started glowing blue-and-pink.
"Feather Protect!" Phoenix followed her user's stance and a blue barrier formed in front of them. Black Fox and Dark smirked, which hadn't gone unnoticed to Kluke, who wasn't too far from the black-eyed fox. Black Fox suddenly halted in front of the barrier, fist raised for a punch.
"Marumaro, now!" Zola shouted and Marumaro powered up his shadow. Saber Tiger sped towards Kluke's direction, but was stopped by a punch to the cheek, sending both him and Marumaro towards the left. The yellow bird smirked, as well as the green bird that was behind him, one fist was outstretched in front of him.
"Don't let you're guard down!" The yellow bird said, raising one feather as he wagged it. Marumaro got to his feet and glared at the yellow bird, who was at his height.
"Maro! Saber Tiger, let's go, Blitz Claw!" Saber Tiger roared and pulled his fist back, speeding towards the green bird shadow. The yellow bird's smirked disappeared and he started glowing blue-and-green.
"Green Bird, block it, quick!" Green Bird nodded and sped towards Saber Tiger, at the same speed, which shocked Marumaro and Saber Tiger. Green Bird pulled one fist back, the fist glowing green. Saber Tiger and Green Bird punched each other at the same time, both fist colliding with one another. Shu watched and he clenched his fists.
"That bird's shadow is at the same speed as Saber Tiger," Zola stated, her eyes focused on two battles. "Marumaro and Saber Tiger may have some difficulties in beating them." Shu gritted his teeth and shook his head.
"Hang on, Marumaro, I'm coming!" Shu began running towards Marumaro, but was stopped by the third fox, the one wearing blue shoes and a blue bandanna around his forehead. The fox held up one claw and wagged it, as well as shaking his head.
"We're trying to even out the team, but..." The fox trailed off and shrugged his shoulders. He got himself into a battle stance and he glowed blue, and his shadow transformed into a fox, a blue fox to be exact. Blue Dragon glared at the shadow, who had his arms cross, and pointed a claw at the blue fox.
"You expect me to fight you, you must be joking?" He huffed, while Shu glared at the fox.
"Why don't you tell me you're name?" He asked and the fox shrugged his shoulders.
"The name's Fang, and this guy behind me is Blue Fox, we're basically opposites of you and you're shadow... I think you can say that." Fang scratched the back of his head, eyes trained on the sky, while Shu lowered his arms, confused. Blue Dragon snorted.
"This is a joke, then." Blue Dragon crossed his arms and closed his eyes, angered by the fact that his enemy was a complete and totally idiot, to him. Blue Fox crossed his arms and raised a brow at Blue Dragon.
"Why're you so grumpy all the time, mister dragon?" He asked, his tone sounding childish and innocence. Blue Dragon narrowed his eyes at Blue Fox.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Shu blinked his eyes in confusion and pointed at Blue Fox, while looking at Fang.
"Is your shadow like a kid or something?" He asked and Fang shrugged his shoulders.
"He's different from other shadows, that's all I can say." Fang replied, getting into a battle stance. Blue Dragon snorted and looked at Shu, eyes narrowed menacingly.
"Oi, Shu, let's get rid of these guys!" Shu nodded his head and started powering up his shadow. Blue Dragon flew towards Blue Fox, his fist flowing blue and pulled back for a punch. Blue Fox uncrossed his arms and headed towards Blue Dragon. Blue Dragon pushed his fist forward, but Blue Fox blocked it with his paw. Blue Dragon growled and pulled his other fist for another punch, but Blue Fox blocked that one with his other paw. Blue Fox smiled.
"Looks like you can't attack anymore~!" Blue Fox sang and Blue Dragon looked over at Shu.
"What're you doing, Shu," he yelled, causing his wielder to look at him in surprise. "Get serious! If this is as much power as you got, then how are we going to defeat Nene!" Shu narrowed his eyes and started glowing more with power.
"Here ya go!" Blue Dragon tried pushing Blue Fox back, but Fang was going the same as Shu: powering up Blue Fox. Shu had beads of sweat rolling down the side of his head. This isn't good, Shu thought. We're evenly matched...
Jiro watched Shu's and Fang's fight, as well as Marumaro's and the yellow bird's fight. He knew that both Shu and Marumaro were going to have a hard time trying to win their fights, and Kluke... He looked over towards Kluke's battle and saw that she still had Feather Protect up, Black Fox trying to break it down, which was going good, because Jiro could see a few cracks on the shield.
"Oi!" Jiro looked a little bit to the left and saw Volt, standing with his paws folded behind his head. His tail was flicking irritably. Jiro blinked and got to a battle stance, Minotaur following.
"You come here to fight, too?" Jiro asked, eyes glaring daggers with Volt's calm ones. Volt closed his eyes and shook his head, unfolding his paws from his head and raising them up in the air.
"Eh." Was all the fox's reply was.
Jiro blinked his eyes and looked at his shadow, Minotaur doing the same. The two nodded their heads and looked back Volt, still in a battle stance.
"Why don't you just summon your shadow so we can get this over with?" Volt opened one eye and then the other, shrugging his shoulders as he went.
"Alright then." Volt started glowing red-and-blue and his shadow formed into a fox, a red-and-dark red fox. The shadow's red eyes were glowing with such an intensity that Jiro flinched. As the shadow's gaze rested on Jiro, one of the sides of the shadow's mouth moved upward, making a lopsided smirk. Pointing a claw at Jiro, the fox shadow's eyes rested on his shadow wielder.
"Oi, Volt," the shadow's voice sounded rather smooth, but rough. "Are we going to kill this guy and his pet bull?" Volt shook his head.
"Can't," he replied, placing one paw on his hip while scratching his ear with the other. The shadow's lopsided smirk disappeared and was replaced with a frown, one of pure anger.
"Oh? And why not?" Volt closed his eyes and a sigh broke out of his muzzle.
"'Cause an old friend of mine will be very upset if we did." The shadow snorted and glared over at Minotaur and Jiro, mostly the user. Crossing both of his arms, the fox shadow said in an angered tone, "You've just got lucky today, but next time's going to be different." Jiro didn't know why, but something about the way the red shadow stared at him and how his voice was dripping with venom, scared him. He's never met this guy and his shadow until now, but the shadow was staring at him with so much hate that it was making him tremble a little.
Minotaur, feeling his user's fear, glanced at him and whispered, "Don't let this guy get to ya. He's just a little grumpy is all." Grumpy? Since when was a shadow, filled with so much hatred to someone it just met, grumpy? Jiro thought angrily. Volt flicked his ears and raised one paw, flicking it as he did so.
"Go ahead and make the first move. You seem to be jumpy at the moment." Jiro glared at Volt and clenched his fist. Raising them, he shouted, as well as powering up his shadow, "Waves of Rage!" Minotaur charged towards Red Fox, pulling his fists back and then pushing them forward, punching the shadow simultaneously.
Red Fox blocked each of the fists with the palms of his paws, and on the last attack, Red Fox gripped his paw around Minotaur's fist, smirking at the shadow.
"It's easy to predict your movements, idiot." He said, amusement in his tone. Jiro found that agitating. He started powering up his shadow, eyes glaring at Red Fox, who was now smirking at him. Minotaur pulled back his other fist and slammed it towards Red Fox's face, but it was stopped by Red Fox's other paw. Minotaur glared at the red shadow, while Jiro gritted his teeth.
"Hornet Assassin!"
Volt turned his head so he was looking over his shoulder, eyes widen in surprise. Killer Bat's attack hit Red Fox right on the back, causing the shadow to grunt in pain as well as loosing his grip on Minotaur's fist.
"Quick Minotaur, while he's distracted!" Jiro shouted. Minotaur pulled back, moving himself right behind his wielder as he glared at Red Fox.
"This guy's tough," Minotaur said, clenching one of his fists. "If he's able to predict our attacks..."
"Yeah I know," Jiro sighed. "We have to try and figure out another way to beat him, then." Minotaur looked at his wielder and then back at Red Fox, whose attention was now turned to Zola and Killer Bat, as well as Volt's.
"What's the plan?" Jiro had a few beads a sweat rolling down his forehead, but he wiped it off with the sleeve of his sweater.
"I haven't thought of one yet." He was still a little shaken up from Red Fox and the look in his eyes. Minotaur saw this and narrowed his eyes.
"You shouldn't be thinking about that guy, except on how to beat him, leave the thinking on why he's so bloodthirsty to some one who cares about that guy's well being." Jiro looked at his shadow and nodded his head, glancing back at Red Fox and Volt.
This is going to be one tough battle.
Whew. This took longer than I thought...
Dark&Jiro: Hoped you liked it... (unenthusiastic voices)
Me: We rehearsed this and... You know what, nevermind. We hoped you enjoyed the story! :D
