Verse 2:

*Ring…Ring* the phone rang as Ryu woke up from his dream.

Ryu: "Aww man, I was gonna have ice-cream…wait…was I dreaming??"

Ashura: "No, you were singing Christmas songs…What do ya think you're doing?

Ashura replied while Ryu picked up the phone.

Ryu: "Rise?? Isn't it to early to be calling me?"

Rise: "Sorry Ryu but we need your help~! Yosuke, Kanji and Chie are trying to save a girl which been captured by a shadow."

Ryu: "Oh for the love of fish and chips flavored ice-cream, can't you call someone else?"

Rise: "I could… but, didn't you say you're the strongest among all of us? Hmph and I thought you were that great."

Ryu: "Hey, hey, hey, no one said I'm not coming O.k.? Jeez…"

Rise: "Come here ASAP O.k.? Don't keep us waiting."

Ryu: "I got it, I got it." Rise hung up after he said that.

Ryu: "Let's go Ashura, I don't wanna be late…C'mon… C'mon."

Ashura: "How am I supposed to get there if you don't pick me up?"

Ryu: "Awh, can't you float around like the swords on TV??

Ashura: "No. But at least I can sing Christmas songs and the ones from TV can't."

Ryu: "They don't have to, now let's go already." He spoke while grabbing Ashura from the desk.


Outskirts of the Shelter


Ryu: "Just look at this place…"

Ashura: "After you broke the glass, the whole world started turning into the dark hour. And mysteriously, they manage to create special walls to block out shadows…although the shadows still penetrate it and gets in sometime."

Ryu: "There they are! C'mon, let run over there while sticking our tongues out and waving our hands in the sky like idiots."

Ashura: "What is wrong with you…?" He complained as Ryu walk towards Rise.

Ryu: "Mely Kismas (merry Christmas actually)."

Rise: "Aah~! An idiot is trying to rape me!"

Ryu: "It's me you little rat!"

Rise: "Ugh, jeez, don't act like an idiot and startle me like tha…!" When she finishes talking, Ryu was already ahead of her.

Kanji: "What took you so long?"

Ryu: "I was having ice-cream till Rise called me."

Ashura: "Liar."

Kanji: "Huh? What did your sword just…?" Ryu: "Oh pianos, organs, and electric guitars, just kick some shadow ass already."


The four of them continued to fight against the shadows, but there were too many of them and the shadow with the kidnapped girl is escaping. When all hope seems lost, a person jumped down from a building…….and died. But a true hero dashes towards the shadow. He casted an azure colored flame out of his own hands rapidly. The shadow deflected it and kept on running. The mysterious character was injured and followed slowly while he watches Ryu and the others chase the shadow from behind. Ryu and the others caught up with the shadow and started to battle it. The result was clear, the shadow has lost but it seem like it remains victorious, then, it turned in to a form that resembles a human, a form that looks much like the one in the black robe – Jet – .


Ryu: "Jet! You look black all over, what happened to you!?!?"

Jet: "I'm behind you, stupid. And that is just a shadow of me."

Ryu: "Oh great, one Jet is enough, now two of them!?"

Jet: "Stand aside while I do something." He spoke while walking to the bushes nearby and unzip the zippers of his pants to do "You obviously know what"

Ryu: "There's a toilet nearby, mind you."

Jet: "Why didn't you say so? I'm done anyway." He replied while walking towards the shadow.

Ryu: "So this is your shadow…. I never thought it would look like you…"

Rise: "It's his shadow, bonehead, it SUPPOSES to look like him."

Jet: "AHEM!" Everyone looks towards Jet when he did that. The shadow and Jet stared at each other for awhile, and breaking the silence, Jet shouted out at the shadow….:

"Come…"
