AN: So here's where the story actually begins! You'll learn a bit more about Alyx and her role in this predicament, I also want to apologize if a few characters get OOC I didn't mean to make that happen, I'm going by the Four Swords Plus manga and I was never good at matching characters to their personalities well unless their my characters

Alyx's P.O.V

I sat aside silently listening to Siren explain the mess in our village. Most of which I zoned out on as I looked over at my quiver, it was kind of tough keeping up with the fighting when you know that at any time or second you could run out of arrows. Any minute and I'd be helpless. Useless. "I need to learn to fight with other weapons." I mumbled interrupting whatever previous conversation had been going on. I looked at Siren, who simply smiled back at me, and I sighed, "I'll be right back, I need to head home and get something." I said getting up, I glanced at the others as Siren nodded "be safe" she said and without another word I left.

Vio's P.O.V

I sat back away from the others while they talked and I read, so far we'd learned that Shadow Alyx had been here first, somehow she was past the black mirror and didn't need it exist. The same problems lasted, she couldn't be in sunlight she hated it. "So why is it that her Shadow form can exist?" I asked finally looking up at Siren. She seemed to look a little scared and worried, "Alyx has been…..in a way different. She never really spent time with others." Siren explained sighing. "Different how?" Green asked. "Alyx had been a gifted archer since she was little, but nobody taught her, she was just able to fight. She knows the legends, her father taught them to her before he disappeared. Alyx has been known too do things that others find strange." "Like what?" I asked frowning slightly. Siren never answered that and Alyx returned holding a sword and a shield, only thing was that she seemed bothered by something, or possibly someone.

Alyx's P.O.V

I wasn't telling them, not now. They were the only ones to actually care about me, they were my friends, at least I think, but either way I couldn't tell them, it'd ruin things. Not if they knew about this. When I'd left I hadn't been expecting much, but Shade had shown up and she had promised to stay hidden, promised to help me, but only if I could deliver her the four swords. I wasn't even sure why I had even agreed, but I did and it may be a danger, but I can't help it now and I certainly can't change it. Besides there's more that I'm missing and Siren won't tell me, somehow I just…I get the idea I have to help Shade, at least for Shadow's sake. Long as he is there I'm positive everything will be fine, okay not completely fine, but it shouldn't turn out to be a disaster. Okay at least I can hope on that. I shook my head finally to shake away the thoughts that were bothering me.

"Hey Green." I mumbled not really looking at any of the links, "What is it?" he asked glancing at me and I shrugged focusing on the ground "I want to fight you!" okay not best to blurt it out, but I did anyway, "I mean as like a friendly fight, too help me, with using a sword, cause I might not have arrows for this and I need to learn to be able to fight with a sword." I clarified still worried on how he'd react, but Green just smiled and nodded, "Sure." "Why not just ask Vio, he's a lot stronger." Blue said, obviously seeming to be joking about something that I didn't even know about. I glanced at Vio who glanced up from his book to glare at Blue, "Blue that was a while back, lose the past." He said and I sighed, "Well I mean, Greens less likely to go easy on me….or kill me for that matter." I said looking at Blue as I said that. "Alright no arguing, you may all stay here. Alyx you're going to need that shield if you're fighting." Siren said quickly diverting what would have soon been made into an argument before she smiled, I laughed, "Well yes I thought so, and I'm not able to use a sword too well." I said shrugging as I glanced at the others and smiled before I let Siren show the links too their rooms and I started to walk home; mostly because I had to speak to Shade again.

Shadow Alyx's P.O.V

"Night stroll?" I asked appearing at Alyx's side and watching her with a smile. "No going home." Alyx said glaring and I frowned looking back, "Tag along." I warned and sure enough the blue one had showed up. I frowned and kept mostly from Blue's sight, while I took the sword Alyx had with her. "I'll watch from your shadow." I whispered to Alyx before leaving her with Blue. I didn't like the thought of being a mere shadow, but I wasn't slipping up again, with one link down and a four sword to show to Lord Vaati. I'd be praised; I'd be more then just a little shadow. For once I'd show them what I was really able to do. I frowned not bothering to listen into the conversation as I followed them, but after a while things were looking up, I smirked and saw the right chance and I gripped the sword tightly. Okay so I wasn't good with swords, but it'd be useful to get the Blue one down and how hard can it be to stab someone? I smiled and moved slightly closer to him and n a quick movement I drove the blade into his shoulder. I would have killed him too, but Alyx decided to take that chance then to look at him so I quickly disappeared.

Alyx's P.O.V

"Blue?" I asked glancing back when I realized he'd been a little too silent. I blinked when I saw he had stopped and was knealing on the ground, frowning I studied him for the moment and gasped when I noticed the blood that now coated his shoulder. I ran to him and brushed his hand aside to look at the new wound. I wasn't even sure how he got it, I blinked when I realized that Shade was no longer with us and the sword that I had been carrying was now gone. I frowned and glared, "Shade…" I mumbled to myself, the anger flaring inside me. "Come on we have get you help." I said and helped steady Blue. I was surprised he didn't seem to protest, must be blood loss. I wasn't sure which was closer, the castle or my house, so I just picked one and after a few minutes, we reached my house, I was more thankful to find my brother waiting outside since I'm almost pretty sure Blue was out of it and in need of major medical care. "Okay what did you do!?" Braedon said frowning as he studied us before letting us inside.

Edit: I have added a bit and fixed some pieces of it so I hope it is a little better. I am finally hoping to bring this story back immediately after I have finished Unwanted. (Unless it goes further then I thought then I will go to this one and update them both hopefully. That is the plan. I also have been hitting a dead end on my Next Gen Bakugan story so bear with me it is going to be finished. I promise.
