Guilty Gear: Unlimited Guilt
Part 1: The Shadowed Man
(These are the events of after Guilty Gear X. I chose Sol to defeat Justice, Dizzy, and Testament because...he's cool, but it is Millia that is the real focus of the story. I don't care what you people say. Lalala...I can't hear you...

(After the events of Guilty Gear X. Dizzy is defeated and turned from the destructive ways of a Gear by Sol Badguy. Zato-1One is dead, killed by Millia-Rage, but his Shadow Demon, Eddie, was able to escape.)
With Zato dead, Millia didn't have to fight any longer. She could live a normal life now, free from fighting gears and those who hunt them. But Eddie, Zato's Shadow demon, who took Zato over completely, was on the loose, and it was Millia's duty to hunt him down for all the pain that the shadow brought to anyone close to either Zato or Millia. She would return to Mother Russia and begin her search there.
Millia was raised by assassins from an early age. She has no memory of life before she was brought in, but remembered life after. She was trained to use her long hair as a deadly weapon. And she was good at it, making her hair as sharp as knives and stronger than steel. But when she was ordered to kill innocent people, she left the organization. Zato then sent assassin after assassin to seek and destroy Millia, and Millia kept running. She became a recluse to make sure no one got hurt because of her. But then Zato himself came after her, intent on killing her. It was then that Millia learned of Zato's deal with the shadow Eddie: the power to control the shadows in exchange for his sight. Zato did not know of the shadow's treachery until it was too late.
There was only one assassin left, Venom, but he chose not to hunt Millia down. Now Millia must concentrate on finding Eddie before he claimed a new, more powerful host.
Sol turned and left the grove. The new gear was strong, perhaps stronger than Justice, but Sol beat her anyways. He was also able to show that righteous Ky Kiske who was boss and perhaps stopped him from chasing him constantly. Ky was beginning to become more of a nuisance than a threat, plus his crusade against Sol was pointless as long as there were rogue Gears causing havoc. He was leaving through the portal when Dizzy (the Gear) approached him with tears in her eyes. Her living wings, named Necros and Ariel, where unconscious after the fight.
"Ugh, stop crying already;" Sol said coldly, "You better disappear before I change my mind."
"You destroyed everything!" Dizzy yelled, "Where am I supposed to go?"
"Down below is a place called Hell. Use your portals to get there; you'll meet another one like you called Testament. He is a Gear. He might help you."
Dizzy nodded and left through one of the portals. Sol turned to leave, when suddenly the portal closed. Sol whipped out his sword, and prepared himself for what was to come. Could it be Ky? No, Ky preferred to fight battles of honor, and would always allow a way to escape. Someone from Zepp? No, they like to send their best soldier Potemkin, and you could see and hear him from a mile away. Could it possibly be...a Gear?
The answer would soon come as the serene grove that was home for Dizzy faded around Sol. In its place was what seemed to be the inside of a stone castle. It was well lit, and well cleaned, with ornate decorations such as majestic paintings of leaders of old, gold chandeliers, and statue buffs of the most famous thinkers of the past. It had many dark corners, completely engulfed by shadows. Sol looked around, but could not see his captor. He turned towards large double oak doors and heard them unlock. The doors swung open, and there stood a man wearing a large grey overcoat and a grey baseball cap, with black pants, and what seemed to be an officer's shirt. The cap had the Omega symbol on the front, and the symbol on the back of the overcoat. The man had a moustache and a goatee. He also had a metal eye that glowed red. He wore a smile on his face.
"Welcome to Aries Castle, Sol Badguy," said the man. Sol felt a dark aura emanating from the man. It made him feel nervous; almost frightened.
"If your wondering how you got here, it is because I wanted to see you personally. I wanted to see the one who defeated both Justice and Dizzy, greatest among the Gears!"
"Well, here I am," Sol said, "Now what do you want?"
"I want what we all want," answered the man,"To be complete; to be whole."
"What does that have to do with me?" Sol asked.
"Every time you defeat a Gear, some of that gears power is transferred to you. That power is what I seek. And I want it...now."
"You're gonna have to do better than that," Sol smirked.
"We shall see, won't we?" The man laughed. Two large blades revealed themselves from the man's wrists. He held them up, and prepared to fight. Sol lifted his sword, and was ready for the challenge.
The man rushed towards Sol with his long wrist blades aimed at Sol's chest. Sol blocked the attack and tripped the man. Sol raised his sword and tried to stab him, but the man rolled away and slashed Sol's arm. Sol resisted the pain and went to slash his opponent but the man just disappeared.
"Your slow, Sol," taunted the man. Sol let loose a fury of flames towards his captor, but he disappeared again, "Very slow."
The man was now right behind Sol with a blade to his neck. The man then raised one of his wrist blades and stabbed Sol in the back. It penetrated all the way through. Sol gasped for air as he started to cough up blood. His sword fell to the ground.
"Now give me what I want," the asked coldly. Sol felt all his energy, all his strength and power being sucked from his very being. A feeling of evanescence rose over him, as if he would soon fade into nothing.
"What...are you?" Sol managed to ask, "A...Gear?"
"No...not a gear. I am human, just like you," the man cruelly replied,"I am like you...I am like any who enter the Guilty Gear Tournaments! I am someone who wants to know his place in this world. I want to know why I exist. But I need power. And you have plenty of it."
The man retracted his blades back into his wrists. Sol fell into a pool of his own blood.
"I have what I need from you," the man said,"Time to take out the trash."
He lifted Sol by the collar of his shirt. He also picked up Sol's sword. The man opened a portal and stepped through it, with Sol in tow.
Millia was on her way to Moscow when a portal opened near her. A man walked out, completely surrounded by shadows. He was holding Sol Badguy by the collar of his shirt and Sol's legendary sword in another. The man tossed Sol aside. Millia noticed a bloody wound in Sol's chest. He wasn't moving. The man then broke the Sword over his knee and tossed the broken pieces aside. Millia ran over to Sol as the man laughed.
"Who are you?" Millia shouted.
"I am one with the darkness. I am power incarnate. I hold more strength than that fool Justice or Sol could ever hope to hold. I am the Shadowed Man!"
Millia looked with horror upon this new villain. The Shadowed Man? Could it be Eddie? The Shadowed Man laughed as he stepped through another portal.
"If you wish to know more, "he began," Follow me to Zepp. We'll have a grand old time, believe me!" With one last maniacal laugh, he was gone. Millia felt Sol's pulse. It was weak, but at least there was one. She picked Sol up over her shoulder and grabbed the pieces of his broken sword. A truck drove by, and after seeing Sol, stopped and helped the two get to the hospital in Moscow.
Millia sat quiet as she stared out of the window. A new threat, stronger than Justice and Zato, had arrived to instill his dominance. Millia could only wonder what kind of danger the Shadowed Man would present to the Earth now.
