CHAPTER 8

FUTURE DEMON

Later that next day in the arctic, Shadow was still strapped in the chair with dry blood around his body. He couldn't sleep and even if he tried he couldn't because of the torture Karu had given him. He was extremely tired from last night. He then saw Karu come in the room with a black creature.

The creature looked just like the drawing his father had drew on the disk except he had no red quills. He smiled and walked up to Shadow, "Finally we meet face to face once again, Shadow."

Shadow smirked a bit, "So you're the one referred to as Dark."

"That's Lord Dark to you. Anyway you were brought here for a reason."

"And what reason is that?"

"For you to lead my army to world conquest."

Shadow gasped, "I'll never lead your army of monsters to take over Mobius."

For some reason Dark started laughing, "Boy, you have no choice. Since Karu increased your demon powers, you'll become a full demon in no time. And of course you won't be able to control your powers. Everyone you knew and loved will die because of your lack of control."

Shadow then thought about the dream again, 'That nightmare meant something. I guess it was telling me that I was going to become that monster and kill everyone I set my sights on.'

Dark continued, "The only way you can control your powers is if you let me help you."

"How can I trust you?"

"As if you're in enough trouble already. You're going to need my training."

Shadow sighed, "I'll do it..."

Dark smiled. He faced Karu, "Release him."

Karu pressed a black button behind the chair Shadow was sitting in.

The shackles he was in released his wrists and ankles.

Shadow fell on the floor in pain from last night.

Karu helped him up, he even had to help him maintain his balance because he felt so weak.

Dark took the glove off Shadow's left hand and stared at his mark, "There it is. The Mark of the Demon..." Dark had a black aura forming around his hand. He placed his hand in Shadow's and a black light came from it.

To Shadow's surprise it didn't hurt.

Dark then removed his hand away from Shadow's.

Shadow looked at his mark and noticed it was glowing a green color. It stopped glowing for a quick time. He looked back at Dark, "What did you do?"

"You now have complete and utter control over your powers."

Shadow looked at him with disbelief, "Are you serious?"

Dark nodded at Karu and Karu gave Dark a white Chaos Emerald. Dark handed the emerald to Shadow. "You can use Chaos Control right? Well use this to go back to Tech City. Don't worry Shadow, we'll meet again. By the way I'm only leaving you alone so you can go through your demon changes without me disrupting you. I'll be back soon just don't get used to it."

Shadow turned his back and used Chaos Control.
