Ch. 7 Shadow Manipulator's base

The two figures moved in the darkness silently. The only sound was the rustling of the night wind. Suddenly the two figures were behind a bush staring at a large building. Two statues were in the front; their appearance was of a person and its shadow taking control of it.

"I see many sensors," May said, the white tiger mask covering her appearance. "We have to be extra careful if we want to be able to penetrate the base."

Drew looked at her. "Yeah, I guess. So how are we going to approach the base?"

May used her X-ray gene, and scanned the area. She noticed there weren't many body guards inside the building. That's funny. There's usually a swarm of guards inside the building. Where could they be? May thought, as she continued to scan the area. "I think it's a trap." May told Drew who was just staring at the building.

Drew shrugged his shoulders. "Maybe, with these guys it's unpredictable." Both May and Drew entered the building both on their best guard. It was quiet, and it seemed like nobody had been there for years. May coughed from the some of the dust that had collected into her mouth. Weird, where could they be? Drew thought as he walked down the deserted hallways.

May looked around for the information they had to find in the building, but it seemed every room she entered looked the same. It was like an illusion, soon May realized what it was and she instantly ran to where Drew was. Drew looked at her, May whispered to Drew to create a ring of fire. Drew did as he was told, and May snapped her finger and suddenly the room started to spin.

Guards were surrounding them now, their guns in their hands aiming at Drew and May. May shouted at Drew to make the ring bigger, but a one of the guys came up behind her and tried to grab her. May dodged his grasp and kicked him, causing the guy to kneel on the ground. Drew came near and whispered to her and asked what happened.

May whispered to Drew, "It was an illusion. I noticed it when I went into the rooms, and they were all the same. They wanted us to get the impression that it was deserted so we'd let our guards down." Drew nodded and continued to fight the guards. Guns started to be shot, and May got hit with one of them. It hit her left shoulder and caused May to gasp, and hold her left shoulder. Drew tried to reach her, but was blocked by more of the Shadow Manipulator's guards.

May touched her left shoulder and soon the wound was healed. Drew watched in amazement, but soon he turned his attentions to the guards. He created a fire tornado and it caught a couple of the guards. Suddenly, vines started to come out of the ground and they slowly wrapped their vines around the guards. The guards started to panic. They started to struggle and scream. May covered her ears and decided to silence them. She clapped her hands and suddenly everything went silent. Drew looked at the screaming guards, and noticed there was no noise.

"What'd you do?" He asked looking at May who was healing the wounds she had gotten.

May shrugged her shoulders. "They were being noisy so I decided to shut them up, by using the sound gene. Which allows me to control sound, I can amplify it, or I can silent out. Sometimes I can have just one person hearing the sound, like inside their head. It drives people crazy."

Drew nodded and looked at her. He noticed that all of her wounds were gone, and it now seemed like she hadn't even been hit at all. May felt someone looking at her, she looked up and noticed it was Drew. "We'd better head back to the academy." Drew nodded and May hurried into one of the rooms and grabbed the information. Meanwhile someone had been watching the whole thing.

"You will be ours White Tiger," the figure whispered and disappeared into the darkness.

The morning May was up early training with Mr. Takeda and Drew as usual, but a new person was added to their training, Devan. Devan was actually pretty good, he was able to keep with Drew and May. He was also great at combat fighting with Drew. They both were evenly matched. May watched them and had this weird feeling. I wonder if he's showing his true powers; it doesn't look like it. May thought as she gazed at the swift fighters.

Mr. Takeda had complimented the two of them. He motioned for May to face Devan next. They both took fighting stances and stared each other down. Drew was watching in amusement when he noticed how swift May was. May dodged all of Devan's attack and kicked him back; Devan ducked under the kick and punched May in the stomach. May held her stomach, but quickly recovered.

May hit Devan in the stomach and then in the head. Drew watched May's style closely. That style she's using resembles White Tiger's style a lot. May read Drew's thought and instantly started to change her style of fighting by dodging the attacks and using another form. Mr. Takeda had stopped them and gave May some advice to improve her fighting; though he knew why she changed her style as he had read Drew's thought as well.

Devan grabbed a towel he had in his bag, and wiped away his sweat. Drew grabbed a drink from his water and watched May perform another training exercise. Mr. Takeda closed the training and told them to meet him in the same area tomorrow morning. May grabbed her bag and started to walk away when Drew caught up to her. Devan had left the opposite the direction and watched Drew and May walk away.

Devan whispered into the morning air. "The mission is going according to plan." Devan walked away with his hands stuffed into his pocket.

Meanwhile, a girl with black hair stood outside the entrance; her brown eyes scanning the various designs on the gate. A voice interrupted her observation, "Welcome Zhen Koh to Dark Shadow Academy." The gates opened and Zhen entered the tall gates.
