Hello everyone it's Rainy-Day-Writer and its been a while I know. For some who have read the beginning of my Huntik Story need to understand I love the franchise but finding time to write for it are hard when I go and watch it to try and write it, well things don't always go the way I want. I mean I've got ideas for the story planned but I have other ideas for other stories as well. I will try and get something out for Huntik but it feels like a huge effort to do it due to how much of my free time my actual job demands of me. I also know that when I get through cannon stuff stories become easier to write as they are parts that are generally boring and I will be working on Huntik I might make things quicker or slower than normal but I do want to finish it but I also have ideas that I can't use for that particular story as they would be better as a cross over. Which is why we are now here.

So, I feel as though Huntik is a wonderful world full of unexplored options and the idea I have for what could have been season 3 would involve actually, wait I won't spoil it yet in case I actually get to that point but that is the direction I can see their series taking especially with how they showed the spiral mark still being active. I believe Huntik has a lot to offer but so do other ideas that won't leave me alone when I try and write for my original story. Anyway, this story will be quite unique in its approach at least for the back story.

Now we know the organisation was founded in 1959 with Simon being around 18-19 as Metz still looks fairly young despite being the same age and if we take Huntik season one start date in 2008/9 as the official year we have a man who is about 70 that still has the body of a man in his 30's despite being bed ridden. Now I don't know how much of Seeker magic can keep a person going we know Casterwill lived for hundreds of years on pure will power but come on. I think it is more reasonable to say that Seeker Magic is Bullshit and I'm changing the dates a little bit. So Huntik Season 1 will begin in 2010. The organisation will be founded in 1969 so the professor and Metz will be 60 at the start of cannon (still don't know how Metz looks like he is thirty but going to just except it). Dante was trained by Metz in the 80's when Metz was in his 30's. so Dante is about 30ish in 2010 same as Zahlia. I'm going with 31 for Dante and 28 for Zahlia respectively. Lok and Sophie will then have to be born somewhere around 1992/3 for them to be 17/18 at the start of the story.

So, to CLARIFY a few things in this story, The Organisation was founded in 1969. Seeker Magic makes people look younger and live longer due to the ability of Willpower personified… (sounds like I could slip Haki in here as a power….) Some families have specific titans that will only bond with members of that family like Theon being used primarly by the Casterwill family along with Sabriel and Sorcerel. There will be new powers in this fic and it is a cross over so yeah. The main thing is that this world is the Huntik World using elements of its other components but not interacting with them directly.

Alright I have wasted enough of everyone's time with this section allow me to introduce a new story. Welcome to Huntik: Secrets in the Shadows.

Disclaimer: I of sound body and mind, do declare that this is a work of fiction designed for pure enjoyment and any constructive criticism will be taken on board. I do not own any of the characters or the rights to this IP but I think my ideas for the story are unique.

Prologue: Hidden in the Shadows of Prague

The Organisation the only 'public' enemy of the Huntik Foundation. They have spread their influence of the world and most are none the wiser of the secret war between Seeker factions. Hidden within the depths of Prague is the Organisations main headquarters and it is here where the story begins.

A woman wearing a suit with long red hair tied back is stealthily making her way out of the secret base. Now normally this wouldn't be a problem but when you are trying to smuggle out a very interesting item it takes time and effort. The item is quite large requiring at least one hand to clutch it to their chest, while being covered in a blanket to protect others form finding out what it is. If anyone discovered what was being taken form here there would be a new uproar within the organisation and possibly the entire seeker world.

However, this isn't the main focus of this story no our true story begins 20 years after this event in this very city where we see a group of three unique people sneaking into a cemetery. The curious group is made up of a fairly tall auburn-haired man wearing a tan trench coat who was walking with a confident stride almost as if he was assured of every step he would take. The more awkward of the trio is a blond-haired teenaged male clutching the strap of his satchel as his blue eyes dart around with unease. The final member of their little trio was the shortest and the only female, with long pale brown-hair and a magenta outfit that probably cost more then anyone has ever seen in their lifetime was looking around with her pricing green eyes analysing everything. The trio was being observed by another person hidden with in the cemetery, a slender woman as she cannot be called anything less with midnight dark hair and a perpetual smirk on her lips was slowly stalking ahead of the trio having already figured out where they are meant to go. As the now quartet descend into a open tomb a hidden figure perched in the trees above smirked to themselves.

"Dante, has gained a couple of fledgling Seekers," he mused to himself as his from was still shrouded in shadows. A sudden noise made him look up as he sees at least 12 cloaked figures slowly make their way through the cemetery. As he kept himself hidden he began grasping the amulet wrapped around his wrist. The amulet was unique as it looked to be a made of grey metals with gold inlays. It looked to be in the shape of a bug's thorax with four wings, two on each side reamed in gold. The gem in the centre a deep dark blue began to slowly glow as if predicting its impending activation. The figure saw the cloaked individuals stop at the open tomb before six of them went down leaving six to guard the surface.

"Almost to easy," the hidden figure mused as his left hand began to glow a soft purple, "Noise Wall."

At his uttering a purple glow surrounded the entrance to the tomb creating a sound barrier to prevent the people within from hearing what was about to go on outside.

"Dante was right to want someone to double check," he said as he stood up causing the moon to fully reveal who was crouched amongst the trees. He stood as tall as Dante just over six feet tall. Dressed in dark tan cargo pants with durable boots on his feet. On the belt around his waist was a pouch that was hidden by his vest. Adorned on his torso was an orange pull over woollen vest. The shirt underneath was a black long sleeve shirt. Wrapped around his right wrist was the amulet from before almost making it look like a watch. Around his neck was another amulet however this one was mostly brown looking like a shield with four prongs of gold coming out from the dark red gem in the centre. His face was angular and he looked like he would draw in attention form the ladies with his shining blue eyes and naturally spikey blond hair. On the sides of his face where six distinct whisker marks that looked more like scars than anything else. As he stood he raised the red scarf around his neck to wrap around his lower face hiding the whiskered scars.

"Well," he spoke to himself as he raised his right wrist in front of his face, "time to do what Dante wanted me to do and take out the trash."

This was all that was said before a deep blue glow overtook the cloaked beings and a battle cry ran out.

So, this was an idea that has been circling in my head for a while. What do you think of this little teaser introduction.
