Shadow's Adventures in Paris:

D.J. Dojo

Shadow and Nino were tasked by Master Fu to watch his place while he and Wayzz went out to get some things that they needed. While they were there, they soon came across an old room where everything was covered in dustcovers. After removing the dustcovers, it was revealed that the old room was in fact a dojo. While Shadow was checking out the equipment, Nino was hatching an idea. Soon, he had his portable turntables set up.

"Dude, the acoustics in here are perfect for rehearsal."

"Uh-huh." Shadow responded simply, approaching a punching bag. "I just wish I had known about this place sooner. Would've saved me a lot of angst."

"Heh. Yeah, I getcha."

"This would have been a much less messy way to blow off steam."

Nino looked at him curiously.

"Wait, how exactly do you 'blow off steam'?"

Shadow smirked and got into a battle ready stance before the punching bag.

"Like this."

Shadow followed up his statement by delivering a strong enough punch to the bag, knocking it off of its chain. It landed about three feet away from where it once hung. Nino spent almost three seconds staring.

"Dude… that is kinda scary." But then, he suddenly brightened up in realization and looked at his turntables. "But gives me a wicked idea."

After flipping some switches and turning some nobs, a pretty nice hip-hop beat was playing. Nino then placed his hands on the platters.

"Okay," Nino said to Shadow, "now punch something, dude."

This would probably be enjoyed best if you listen to some D.J. music while you're reading it.

Shadow found this to be odd, but nevertheless, he faced a practice dummy and punched it. At the same time, Nino pulled the platters and unleashed some record scratches that were in perfect sync with not only Shadow's punch's impact, but also with the dummy's when it broke of its stand and even when it hit ground. Suddenly, Shadow understood. He looked at the all of the equipment in the room as the music played. With his head bobbing to the beat, he rushed forward and delivered another punch and destroyed another piece equipment. At the same time, Nino performed another record scratch with his turntables. Shadow, in tune with the music, punched, then punched, then punched and then twisted his body and kicked, then jumped and twisted again, landing on the foot that he had just kicked with so that he could kick with his other foot.

As the song continued to play, Shadow punched and kicked while Nino scratched in perfect sync with Shadow's actions. Shadow even ran up a wall, kicked off, flipped and landed on his feet, ground pounding the floor. Shadow then back flipped a few times before jumping up and spinning with his legs out perpendicular to his body and jets in his shoes igniting, unleashing fire as he spun. He then pulled one leg in, stopping the fire coming from it, and brought his other foot, still flaming, down. After flame-stomp-kicking the floor, he bent backwards and pushed up with his hands and then performed a spin-kick. Then he straightened up and ran in other direction. He jumped up and as he came down, he turned his body, his fist cutting through the air until it hit, followed by a downward kick.

Shadow straightened up, twisted with his fist out, glowing green. He unleashed a burst of chaos energy from his hand. He then punched boxing-style a few times before kicking repeatedly with one leg and then switching with his other leg to unleash more kicks. Then he punched again, and again, and again. Then he kicked again, and again, and again. Then he kicked, and then punched, and kicked, and then punched, and then kicked, and punched. And as the song came to a close, Shadow finished it up by jumping high and then punching the ground like a meteor.

"Hmph. Perfect." Shadow said as he straightened up and loosened his joints.

"Dude, that was totally sick!" Nino exclaimed excitedly.

Suddenly, the sound of the door opening caught their attention.

"Boys?! We're back." They heard Master Fu's voice call.

"Everything had better be the way we left it!" They heard Wayzz's voice call.

Nino and Shadow looked around and saw everything: the walls, ceiling, the floor, the equipment: wood, stone or even metal; everything was destroyed. There was even some fire.

"… Uh-oh." Said Nino.

And fade to black before Shadow even has a chance to verbally express his discontent.

The End.
