Plans Revealed

In an unknown area of the Undernet, Strikeman was sitting at a desk, supposedly waiting for something. "Bring me … Shadowman!" he yelled over an intercom.

A voice quickly replied, "Yes sir, right on it, sir!"

About an hour later the voice came again, "We have found him, sir!"

"Well then, send him in!" cried Strikeman in satisfaction.

A few moments later a tall, ninja-like navi walked into the room. He had purple armor and a red circle around his neck. His helmet was an oval shape and had a large shuriken above the eye holes. A sword and two large red wings are strapped to his back. He has two sharp pointed elbow guards on both arms and a gauntlet on one. Finally his emblem is a three pointed star in a yellow background.

"Ah! Shadowman! We need you to take care of someone in particular." Strikeman said as he walked into the light, "His name is Blackman!"

It was a beautiful day in net city, and Blackman was taking a stroll in the net. Zerix had come down with a bad sickness called Mononucleosis and jacked in Blackman to let him explore the net without him. "Wow, Myth hasn't done a single attack in three days!" suddenly Blackman walked into a strange link that wasn't there in his earlier strolls. "What?" Blackman said as he was brought to a strange place, it was dark, but just light enough to see.

"Hello, Blackman I presume?" said a mysterious voice in the darkness.

"Yes? Who is there?" yelled Blackman, suddenly a dark form ran past him, "I know you're there, show yourself!"

"I am Shadowman! The Ninja Mercenary, I have orders from an organization called Myth, to destroy you." said the navi, stepping out of the shadows. He crouched down and reached for his sword.

"You're working for Myth?" asked Blackman, raising his blaster.

"I'll work for anyone, if the price is right." answered Shadowman, as he pulled out his blade. "Masamune!" he yelled as he struck with his blade.

"Owe! That hurt! Dark Blaster!" said Blackman, rubbing a sore spot as he shot at Shadowman.

"You missed me, Elemental Shuriken!" Shadowman took out three shurikens from his belt, one red, one yellow, and one blue. He threw them at Blackman, the red on burned Blackman and the others missed.

"Ah! That burns!" Blackman screamed as he patted his but, where the shuriken hit. "Black Control!" a large black mass stole out of Blackman body and possessed a pedestal. With one movement of his arm the pedestal flew towards Shadowman.

"Too easy," Shadowman yawned as he cut the pedestal into four pieces and they crumpled to the ground, "Now what's next, a flying elephant?"

"Zerix, I need help!" yelled Blackman.

Zerix coughed, "Uh, Blackman?" He then sneezed, "Achoo! Alright, GunDelSol1 Battle Chip In Download!" A generator the size of a cannon appeared on Blackman's arm.

"Ok then, eat solar power, Shadowman!" Blackman fired a spread of sunlight; Shadowman writhed in pain and disappeared, running from the battle. "That was hard, but what I don't get is why they are focusing on me!"

Blackman Logging Out

Strikeman pounded his fist on the desk in fury, "He defeated Shadowman, 500,000 zenny wasted!" Strikeman looked up and shouted into the intercom, "Bring in, Inferno!"


Zerix: The net is on fire!

In Unison: Next time on Blackman's Story, Rage of the Phoenix!
