Chapter 11: The great ninja knockout!

-Ben's P.o.v-

"Last time on B.s.s.c, Sakura was forced into a confrontation with three sound ninja that were going after that dweeb, sauske uchia. Luckily, Jake stepped in along with Johnny chiro and Sabrina to stop things from escalating to a horrible level. It was a dirty trick they pulled attacking her right after she escaped orochimaru. Luckily reinforcements stepped in before things got to serious.

About a while after that, me, Danny and June were taking a well-deserved break after driving off that snake creep. Even though we did help team seven head to the next round, we were still left without a scroll witch sucked big time! And if that wasn't bad enough, Danny's cousin had decided to pop in for a surprise visit proposing we play some sort of game.

I didn't trust any game she was thinking of playing, but she had put the scroll we needed on the line. So we had no choice but to accept. Though it was only thanks to danny's hunch that got us the scroll.

Danny suggested that Dani would most likely be targeting me in the game so the real deal would be lingering around me. I really didn't know what led him to believe that but it worked. I'm just glad it was her stomach I hit and it wasn't any.. other parts of her body."

"Anyway, now with both scrolls in our hands we can advance to the next round. Though somehow I don't think that things will turn out as easy as I hoped. Call it a hero's hunch, but something tells me her little game is far from done."

-Normal P.o.V-

Danny and june had met back up at the spot they had lunch with their clones torn and scratch marks on their person with them breathing heavily trying to regain their stamina.

"Have I mentioned…. I hate clones?" June asked between breaths.

"Eh… you get used to them. At least I think anyway. Never fought clones that resilient before." Danny answered between breaths.

As danny and june continued to recuperate, ben had jumped down from a nearby tree with battle scars of his own. He seemed to have it worse then the rest of them.

"Hey guys, how you holding up?" Ben smiled as he waved to his team.

"Eh.. we're doing fine. Except that we couldn't find the real Danni. So no scroll." Spoke June.

"How about you, ben? Any luck?" Asked Danny

"Eh, not sure, all I got was this scroll. Does that count for anything?" Ben grinned as he took out a heaven scroll from his bag making both his team jump.

"What the.. how did you get the scroll?!" Asked a surprised june.

"Turns out Danny's hunch was right. She was coming after me. So it would make sense that the real one would be somewhere near me. Ben began as he rubbed the back of his head. Though I actually ended up unintentionally hitting the real one." Ben chuckled.

"Well we got the scroll, now we don't have anything to worry about right?" Asked Juniper

"Not exactly.. ben began getting their attention. Yeah I was able to land a solid hit on her, but it seemed like she gave up to easily. I mean why would she just give up after I landed just one hit? I don't know much about the amazon pirates, but I know that their still girls. And I really don't peg girls as ones to give up on things so easily." Ben explained as he folded his arms.

"So what you're saying is that they still might have something planned even if we have their scroll?" Asked danny.

"In that case we should probably regroup with the others before they make a move. It's not safe being divided like this." June chimed in as she jumped on to a nearby tree branch.

"June's right. I'll contact Sabrina and tell her to meet us near the river bank." Danny said as he had took out his communicator and had begun pressing buttons.

Meanwhile, Sasuke and Naruto had finally awakened from their sleep. As Sabrina was telling them what had happened, ino had been cutting off loose ends of sakura's now short hair.

"You're really getting on my nerves billboard brow!" Sauske's not enough for you so you have to go and make another guy fall under your spell?" Ino asked annoyingly as she resisted the urge to cut off all of sakura's hair.

"What are you getting at Ino pig?" Sakura asked annoyed

"I'm talking about the little guy over there with the orange scarf." Ino whispered as she looked over towards Chiro who was still meditating.

"Just how many people do you have protecting you billboard brow?! Do you ever fight on your own or are you just too scared to do it?" Ino snarled as she cut off another piece of hair.

"For your information they came on their own free will, I can fight on my own. In fact I'd be more worried about you." Sakura grinned as she looked at Ino.

"What are you talking about?!" Ino asked slightly irritated.

"You only got sir munch a lot and duddley do nothing on your team. I'd say you're the one that would need the extra protection. Especially when I kick your but in the next round." Sakura snickered as she looked back at ino as she gave a glare towards sakura.

"Is that a threat billboard brow?!" Ino sneered. "It's a promise ino pig!" Sakura retorted as sparks were already flying between the two of them.

The others were watching as they could already sense a fight about to break out between the two of them.

"Yeesh, do they always fight like that?" Jake asked the blond haired ninja.

"You're asking the wrong guy. All I know is whenever they fight it's about sauske or something. I suggest you keep your distance when they go at it or you never know what might happen if your caught in the crossfire." Naruto chuckled.

"I'll make sure to remember that." Jake said as he looked over to Sasuke who was giving Sabrina a dirty look. It didn't take long for her to notice. But before she had said something about it, she was getting a call on her communicator.

"Talk to me." Sabrina said answering the phone.

"Hey Sabrina, we just got our second scroll! It's time we headed to the tower. Danny began. Meet us at the riverbank. And hurry. We've only got a couple of hourrs remaining before this phase ends." Danny told her.

"Wait what? That's great. I'll be there as soon as I can." Sabrina said as the transmission ended. But as soon as she put away the communicator, she noticed that sasuke was still shooting her dirty looks.

"What are you looking at?" Sabrina asked coldly. Sasuke didn't respond. He only continued to look at her with that ugly face. He knew that she was the one that saved his butt, and he despised the thought of having to have someone else save him.

He also wondered why she was able to block of orochimaru's attack so easily. This only proved that he was even farther away from his goal from getting revenge on his older brother. But he had dismissed his thoughts as he heard Sabrina trying to talk to him and turned his head.

This only made Sabrina mad as he was staring at her and didn't even say anything.

"You know it's rude to stare. But I guess the uchia clan wasn't known for it's manners." Sabrina spoke slightly ticking sauske off.

"Don't you talk bad about the uchia clan!" Spat sauske.

"Then don't stare at me and not answer!" Sabrina retorted.

As they had continued squabbling, chiro was meditating drowning out all the noises that served as a distraction. He had learned that meditation helps him focus most of the time.

But something was wrong. As he continued meditating he could feel the presence of two people approaching their position. When he saw two faceless figures, chiro had stopped meditating and quickly shot up from his position.

"Someone's coming.." chiro spoke as he quickly checked around the area.

"What? Someone's coming this way?" asked naruto as he quickly got up along with sauske and johnny.

"Let's not get carried away. Maybe their friendly." Noted johnny.

"No, whosever coming is far from friendly." Chiro confirmed as he narrowed his sights in the west direction.

"It's about time, it was getting boring here without anything to do." Sabrina said as she jumped up already in fighting stance.

It fell quiet for a moment as they awaited for something to jump out at them. But they were relieved when they saw that it was ben and danny had arrived at their area. Everyone else was relieved except chiro.

"So here you guys were. We were worried that something may have happened to you." Ben spoke as he held his hands behind his back.

"It doesn't seem like the pirates have found you guys yet. That's good." Danny chimmed in as he looked at the scrolls Sabrina was holding.

"Oh hi ben. It seems like you guys made it back safe ok." Spoke Sakura.

"Well of course, you didn't think a bunch of dumb girls could take us down did you?" Ben chuckled.

But ben became concerned when he saw chiro glaring at him.

"What's up chiro? Something wrong?" Asked ben

"Ben…where's June?" Chiro asked bluntly.

"Juniper? Oh she said she would catch up. She said she had a few things left to take care of before she would come and find us. But I'm sure she's fine." Said ben.

But chiro still wasn't convinced.

"Ok, then what did you have to do before you came here? Surely you must have encountered some trouble on your way here."

"Trouble? Oh yeah we did run into dannielle back before we came here. She made us play some stupid game to fight for a scroll." Explained Danny.

"But of course we had managed to win of course. Dannielle's cute but she didn't stand a chance against us." Chimmed in ben. After that sentence chiro had narrowed his glare as if he just confirmed something.

"I see.." Chiro said as he walked up to ben.

"Is there something wrong?" Ben asked with an innocent tone.

Chiro only responded by quickly taking out a kunai knife and slashing it against ben's face sending everyone in shock.

"Hey! What the hell man? I thought he was your friend!" naruto shouted

"He is. But that isn't ben! That isin't Danny either!" Chiro exclaimed shocking everybody.

"What are you talking about? of course it's us!" Danny argued as ben was trying to recover from the attack.

"You can't fool me. Your transformation jutsu is almost flawless except for a couple of things. One of those things being that you can copy a person's clothing, but not their technology. So if you are the real ben then would you please explain where the omnitrix is?" Chiro asked causing Ben(?) to flinch.

Also if there's one thing I know about ben he'd never admit a girl is cute. At least not out loud anyway." chiro continued as Ben(?) and danny(?) took a step back.

Plus the disguise would have been more believable if you were able to hide your chakra better. You can pull of transformations well, but your skills at hiding chakra are rookie level at best." Said chiro.

"Your saying there fakes?" Asked naruto. "But if there not Your friends then who are they?" asked ino as Ben(?) and Danny(?) grew smirks on their faces.

"Shit.. I guess I should have guessed that the monkey boy would have seen through our disguise." Spoke ben in Dark nymph's voice creeping everyone out.

"It seems like we'll have to approach the situation with a different tactic." Spoke Danny in maya's voice.

Soon a cloud of smoke had covered them as they had dismissed their transformation jutsu and reverted back into dark nymph and maya. Yet dark nymph still had the slash mark on chest shocking everybody.

"I must say, your perception skills have greatly improved since we last used it on you. I still can't believe you thought I was that little girl you had a crush on." Dark nymph spoke already angering chiro.

"Who – who are these guys? And what the heck is up with their chakra?" Asked Ino

"Those crazy bitches are the ones responsible for taking over our homes! The one with the evil twisted look on her face is Dark nymph. Sabrina's counterpart. And the other one is… Johnny trailed off when he looked at Maya. I don't remember her." Johnny spoke quickly angering the pirate.

"You incompetent little child! How can you not remember me? Do you need a beating to refresh your memory?" Maya threatened as she clenched her fist in anger.

"So this is the so called dark nymph Sabrina was talking about? She doesn't look all that impressive. Sauske bragged as he scanned the enemy.

"Yeah, it'd be really helpful if you can the smug attitude for now. These two are dangerous. Well, at least Dark nymph anyway." Sabrina spoke irritating maya again.

"What is it with you brats and disrespecting my power? You'll all get what's coming to you! I can assure you that!" Maya shouted as she got in battle position.

"Don't let them antagonize you so quickly maya. Were suppose to be the one's with the mental advantage here." Dark nymph spoke as she looked back at the ninja against her.

"And your metal advantage is what?" Sabrina asked in a monotone fashion.

"Never you mind. We let you escape earlier, but not this time. We're going to finish what we started." Said dark nymph as she got into battle position.

"My thoughts exactly, you skinny witch! Let's end this! Sabrina said as she got into battle position.

"You guys, we can't waste time here! Did you forget we only have a few hours left before we run out of time! shouted chiro once again shocking everyone.

"What? You gotta be kidding! It can't be that close to the deadline already!" Shouted naruto as he began moving around frantically.

"I'm afraid not. If we don't hurry were not going to make it to the next round." Spoke chiro as he raised his fists.

"I don't see why you're worried. You guys came here to stop us in the first place right? So what's it to you if you miss a silly little competition." Maya snickered .

"Our business here is none of your concern!" Spoke chiro.

"We could say the same thing about us with our plans but you guys show up anyway so what's the difference?" asked Dark nymph.

"We're wasting time here! Can we quit it with the chit chat and just get to the fighting already?" Johnny asked itching to punch something.

"I agree. Let's show them just who them who they're messing with, I haven't paid them back after last time." Naruto said as he cracked his knuckles.

"I heard that!" Jake shouted in agreement as he had assumed a familiar pose. DRAGON UP!

After uttering his catchphrase, In a blaze of blue flames, Jake had transformed into his dragon form.

"Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, you guys get out of here and get to the tower! We'll take care of them." Chiro said as he had stood in front of team seven in a defensive position.

"What?! No way!" Said Naruto. We're staying here to fight.

"Look, we don't have much time left before this part of the exams end. We've already got them outnumbered four to two so no problem." Jake added.

"And besides. The last thing we need is for them to get ahold of the nine-tails'! Just go! We'll be fine." Said Sabrina.

"But…" Naruto begun.

'"Oh no, you aren't going anywhere!" Said Dark Nymph as she had fired a dark lightning bolt at team seven. But just as they were ready to get out of the way, Sabrina had jumped in the way and directed the foul lightning back at it' caster. Maya and D.n. had moved out of the way.

"Now, while there's still time!" Shouted chiro as he charged a Monkey fu attack at Maya. She had jumped in the air to dodge the blast, but it served well as a good distraction as jake was able to give a swift dragon punch knocking her back to the ground. Although still unsure to let them fight on their own, the three ninja decided to leave it to them.

'We've only got two hours left before this phase is over. D.n. told her opposite. You sure you can take me down and get to the tower in time?"

"Please, two hours? I'll only need five minutes to deal with you! Sabrina finished before she and her evil clone had once again engaged in an Ariel battle.

Meanwhile, as the two side started, the other half of the group was still trying to reach them.

"Hello, chiro? Chiro are you there?" June asked as she had activated her communicator.

"June? Is that you? Chiro said as sounds of a struggle could be heard from her side of the phone.

"Is everything all right? What's going on?" She asked.

"We got jumped by Maya and Dark Nymph trying to pose as our allies! Thankfully, we've got them outnumbered so we may be able to finish them off before time runs out. Chiro responded. Don't worry about us, just get to the tower before-Whoa!" Chiro shouted as an exsplosion could be heard before the transmission ended.

"Dark Nymph and Maya huh?" Asked Danny.

"Yeah. I wouldn't be worried if it were somebody else. But then, after seeing what dark nymph can do…." June trailed off.

"Don't worry, they can handle it. Said Ben who was sitting on a tree branch above.

"What makes you so sure?" Danny asked cocking an eyebrow.

"Come on. Sure Dark nymph may be a serious problem, but the odd are four to two. I'm pretty sure we don't have to worry about her. Ben said rather calmly as he had stood up."

"C'mon, let's get moving." Ben said as he had dashed ahead in front of the trees.

"Do you think it's safe to let them deal with them by themselves?" June asked concerned. Just as Danny was about to answer, a large explosion sounded in the far distance. Upon closer inspection, there was a short flash of white light before the explosion.

"I think they'll be okay." Danny said with an assuring smile as he had dashed into the trees headed for the finishing tower.

"Meanwhile, the area that the battle took place had been severely damaged. Most of the thickest trees were either cut down or burnt to a crisp as a result. The collective unit of Jake, Johnny, Chiro and Sabrina seemed to be slightly exhausted with burn marks and cuts on their person. But they were looking far better than d.n. and Maya at the moment. Dark nymph was exhaling In and out as she had stared down Sabrina. Maya however was struggling, just to get up. Yet even though it seemed like Dark nymph took one heck of a beating, She still found the energy to smile.

'What are you….so happy about?" Sabrina asked.

"As much as I hate to admit it, I'm impressed. Said Dark Nymph. I see you haven't been slacking off. That's good.

"It is?" She asked slightly surprised.

"Yes. Because when I defeat you, I want to drain every last ounce of will you have. And then when you're reduced to only a grain of energy left, I'll leave you to rot in the nightmare realm just as you left me to do. But now, it's time we made our exit. Dark nymph said as a dark circle had appeared under her and the nearly unconscious Maya. In a matter of seconds, The circle had turned into a Dark tornado which had enveloped both of them.

When the tornado finally subsided, they were gone. Vanished without a trace.

"Heh, she wasn't so tough." Johnny said confidently. I probably could have taken her myself."

"No, she was holding back." Sabrina spoke as she had begun healing herself.

"Huh? No way! Chiro disagreed. It took about three of us to take her down."

"Well it's true. She said in a matter of fact tone."

"What exactly aren't you telling us, Sabrina? Asked chiro.

"Dark nymph doesn't usually partake in physical combat. Not this much. She continued. But, let's save that for after we've made it to the tower. She said quickly changing the subject.

"She's right! We don't have time to be telling stories right now!" Johnny said as he had zoomed off already getting head start.

"Yo, race ya to the tower!" Jake said as he had flew off still in his dragon form. Everyone had soon left the battle-scarred area. After about three minutes, the two divided groups of the heroes had reunited.

"There you are. We were worried something may have happened to you." June began.

"Please, they didn't stand a ghost of a chance." Sabrina joked.

"Was that supposed to be a joke?" Danny asked a bit irritated from the joke.

"It had to be, because I'm laughing!" Sabrina laughed as she had flown ahead. Well come on! We've only got a few minutes left! With the group whole again, they had begun to advance towards the tower where the third and final phase of the chunin exams would begin. Soon, after a short trek through the trees, their destination was finally in sight.

'There's the tower!" Said ben as he had jumped faster than the others but couldn't get pass the flyers. But ben had suddenly stopped when he had noticed Danny, Jake and Sabrina stop right when they were about to make it to the tower.

"Hey, what's up? Ben asked curiously."

"Take a look down there." Danny said pointing to the ground below. Following Danny's finger, ben's eyes had widened in shock as he had saw Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke along with the white-haired ninja they had met during the beginning of the exams. Kabuto! That was his name! The four were surrounded by a large group of ninja that looked the same. It had to be an army of clones.

"Whoa, that's a lot of clones!" Ben said surprised by the sheer number.

"The question is, where did they all come from? Asked Sabrina. As far as we know, only naruto has been able to produce that many clones.

"Don't know, but it seems like there intent on stopping them from reaching the tower." Said june.

"I say we go down there and kick those clones butts while there guard is down!" Said johnny as he had prepared to jump down on to the scene.

"Hang on johnny, I don't think that may be a good idea." Danny said as he watched naruto hit one of the clones and his fist went right through him.

"What the heck?! his fist went right through the guy! Like literally!' Excaimed johnny.

"These clones are different from the usual variety we've dealt with. They won't dissaper with just a bop to the face like last time. if we go down there now we'll be in the same situation there in." Said chiro.

"So what can we do? just wait for them to do something? There going to lose their scrolls if we don't do anything."! Ben added as he was ready to jump down on to the battle field as well.

"Just calm down guys. I think the uchia's got this one covered." Danny spoke as everyone had turned their attention to sauske who had just activated his sharingan.

This time he was back up to full energy and there was nothing to stop him from using his sharingan.

"I knew it, there all fakes. So where are the real one's? Sauske thought as he checked his surroundings. he had saw one of the many clones about to throw a kunai knife as something else was coming from the ground.

"Gotcha…" Sauske thought to himself as he narrowed his eyes on the body.

"Naruto! Jump now!" Sauske shouted. "huh? Why?" naruto asked confused.

"You idiot just do it!" Sauske commanded. Naruto wanted to shout something bad at sauske but he decided to just do as he was told and jump instead. When he looked below him he had saw a guy sticking out of the ground.

"What the hey? He's.. coming from the ground?" naruto questioned as he saw the ninja fade back into the ground.

"So that's how they were sneak attacking us! Those dirty rats!" Naruto shouted as he landed back onto the ground.

"Heh, so it looks like you figured out our secret technique too. But that still doesn't mean you're going to beat us. One of the real ninja said hiding behind a shrub.

"After a few minutes of punching through the seemingly endless hoard of clones, the four defending ninja were beginning to look a bit worse for wear.

"Man, these guys just keep popping up out of nowhere!" Naruto said as he had avoided a kunai strike from another ninja. This has to be some sort of genjutsu! As one of the clones were headed for sauske ready to strike, sauske was about to defend. But he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his shoulder and found that he couldn't move.

Ngh….What the hell?! Sauske thought as he was helpless to do anything about the oncoming attack.

"Get down!" Kabuto shouted as he had pushed sauske to the ground avoiding getting cut while kabuto himself took the hit. After Kabuto got up, sauske tried to move, but he found that he was still a bi paralyzed.

"Sauske, are you alright?" Asked Sakura as she had helped him up.

"As the fight raged on, the heroes were beginning to think if it were a wise choice to stay on the side lines when they could help at any moment? Sabrina looked the most worried out of the group.

"I can't just stand here and watch this! Sabrina said as she had prepared to charge onto the battlefield, but before she did, she was held back by Jake and Johnny as they had covered her mouth from spouting anything out.

"Don't give away our positon!" Jake said in a hushed voice. You want to get trapped in that genjutsu?!" As they continued to try to hold her back, Sabrina had stuck out her tounge and licked the palms of their hands nearly making them scream out in disgust.

"Ugh, gross! She's licking my hand!" Johnny exclaimed.

"Move that hand and we're all going to be in trouble!" Said Jake as he had kept his hand where it was despite her coating it in her saliva.

"Man, where's the end to these things?" Naruto asked looking around. He felt like he had been fighting for hours, and yet it didn't even seem like he had made so much as a dent in their numbers. Naruto was opted to strike, but sasuke had stopped him again.

"Hold it naruto! Don't waste your breath. This is definitely genjutsu! Sasuke said still recovering. The real ones are in hiding somewhere!

'So that's it, huh?" Naruto asked with a grin. We'll then let's go find these jerks and-!"

"No! Kabuto protested. Don't you think that's just what they want?! If we try searching around the forest for these guys, then we'll be playing right into their hands! Exhausted and weak while they aim to pick us off one by one.

"Tch, fine then!" Naruto said as he preformed the hand sign needed for the shadow clone Jutsu.

"Naruto don't! That's just what they want!" Shouted Sasuke.

"If we can get rid of all the clones, then there won't be any left to hold the genjustu together. So if we get rid of all the clones, then we'll find those jerks no problem! Shadow clone jutsu! Naruto finished as he had summoned shadow clones which almost equaled to the number of clones surrounding them.

"What? The kid can summon clones too?" Asked the ninja surprised.

"Alright Naruto, That's using your head!" Sabrina thought mentally. While they continued to watch, out of nowhere, butterfly had flew into view. The butterfly had flew onto Sabrina's nose making it itch. Sabrina tried wiggling her nose around to shake I off, but no such luck as the thing seemed stuck on her. Soon, her nostrils were having a negative reaction to the butterfly.

"Ah…ah….aaaaah….! Sabrina began as she was about to sneeze. Jake had quickly swatted the butterfly away and covered her nose with her finger.

"Aaah." She said in relief. But after a few seconds passed….

"ACHOO!" She sneezed releasing a large gust of wind from her nostrils blasting through the leaves of the branches that they were hiding in which had got the attention of the hidden ninja.

"What the-? There's more of them?! Asked the second ninja surprised.

"Hmph, good. The more scrolls, the better. Said the ninja as he had performed a hand sign extending the genjutsu as clones had appeared surrounding them.

"Well, so much for our cover." June said as she had cracked her knuckles getting ready for a fight.

"Perfect, just what we needed. And here I thought we'd be done with this part of the test. Ben said at the new obstacle in his path.

"Well, look at it this way, least we can use these clowns as a warm-up. Said Danny as he had jumped down from the tree branch and into the hoard of clones.

'Come on, we've spent at least two days on this part of the test. What's a few more minutes going to hurt?" Sabrina asked as she joined into the fight as well. The others had soon followed. With the extra numbers, the clones were vanishing a lot faster than they were before. Unfortunately, they were still coming. But relatively slower than they did before. Despite the massive number against them, the clones had started dropping like flies. Before they had a chance to regenerate from a kick to the head, they were quickly incinerated by an ecto blast, fire blast, light blast,etc.

"What the heck?! These many clones and they don't even put up a fight! Said Jake as he drop kicked another clone into non-existence. Ben was about to smash another clone as Four arms, but all of a sudden, the clone had disappeared.

"Hey! Where'd ya go?" He asked searching around. Soon, all the clones that were surrounding them had begun vanishing right before their eyes.

"Is it over?" Chiro said as he watched all the clones vanish.

"Let's check back with naruto and the others." Said sabrina who had ran back to the area where naruto's team fought with the others following behind her. Upon arriving, he saw three unknown ninja unconscious at the feet of naruto, sakura, sasuke and kabuto.

"I'm guessing those are the guys who cast the genjutsu earlier huh?" June asked glancing over the comatose bodies of the ninja.

"Yeah, but no worries. Naruto said with a grin. They were a cakewalk thanks to me!"

"Well, now that that's over, can we please go to the tower now?!" Asked Johnny.

As he group finally proceeds towards the tower, dark nymph and maya are found in a spot nearby. Along with the three ninja that had made the multiple clones.

"Well well well. Seems like you were unable to get the job done. Said a disappointed D.n.

'It's not our fault! The first ninja spoke up. We had no idea that nine-tailed brat could make shadow clones as well! Just give us another chance and will…

"Too late. Dark nymph said cutting him off. You had your chance, but now the final round of the chunin exams are about to begin. So I won't have any use for you until later. She continued as she had raised her hand as the three ninja began to glow bright red. The had all howled in agony as their bodies morphed into blackish purple creatures with the same eye color as dark nymph. The three monsters had varying sizes. One was short with bat like wings, the middle was tall and had long arms with sharp claws, and the one to the far right was medium sized with no other identifications.

"So, these are your famed shadow minions? Asked Maya unimpressed. I don't see what's so special about them.

"Dearest Maya, where exactly do you think these minions came from? Dark nymph asked with a malicious smile, The three ninja they were posing as were more than kind enough to surrender their bodies for my use.

"Hmm, okay, I stand corrected. Said maya with a smile. And how exactly do you come by making these creatures?

'Normally, I'd just bring most of them from the nightmare realm that I've been keeping in reserve. However, it always puts an irritating strain on my powers to bring minions from another realm. Thankfully, I can use the shadows of live organisms as suitable replacements." She explained. Once I gain enough power, then we can start the real fun." She finished as she had vanished the three minions to parts unknown.

And we'll end this chapter here. If you're wondering where dexter is, he'll be getting his own chapter. I couldn't quite fit it In with this one. So next time on the bssc,

Chapter 12: The robot riot in suchiru village!
