Shadow and Ur, along with the towns militia, fought off the attacking dark guilds. Shadow blasted them while Ur froze them in their tracks. Shadow managed to get a hold of one of them. He grabbed the man by his neck nearly strangling him.

Shadow: Why the hell are you attacking our town?! ANSWER ME!

Grunt: We were ordered here by Grimoire Heart. We were to wipe out the people.

Ur: You bastards!

Grunt: Wait until Hades arrives! He'll send you all to hell!

Shadow heard enough and threw the bastard into a building.

Shadow: Ur ...gather as many people as you can and get them to safety.

Ur: And what about you?

Shadow: I'm going to deal with these dark guild scumbags. Then I'm going after Hades.

Ur: Not alone you're not. I'm coming with you.

Shadow: Ur, the people need you and I need you to be safe. With you and everyone gone I don't have to hold back. So please for me.

Ur looks at him with concern. She then gives in and kisses him on the lips then pulls away.

Ur: Stay alive. Promise me.

Shadow: I will. Promise.

Shadow started running towards where the fighting was really going on.

Ur: I love you!

Shadow stopped and turned around with a confident smirk.

Shadow: I know.

He continued running and Ur got focused helping the people.

Ur: Alright everyone, let's move it. Head to the hills we'll be safe there.

Ur and the townspeople ran towards the hills but Ur couldn't help but look back worried for her husband.

Meanwhile, Shadow moved at incredible speeds taking groups of enemies out in mere seconds. Shadow was then surprised by an old foe. Shadow noticed a group of people were being held hostage. In front of them stood an old man wearing an eye patch. He was holding the Mayor's assistant by the neck.

Mayor Assistant: Please you have what you want! Please just let us go!

Hades: I'm afraid I can't do it. I can't leave behind any loose ends. You and everyone here will be executed.

As the Dark guilds began opening fire on the crowd, Shadow rushed in attacking with rage in his eyes killing most of invaders. Shadow saw covered a little girl from being shot but was hit in the back, but didn't really cause much damage. He told the child to run to safety. Stood up and looked at Hades.

Hades: Impressive. You killed several of my best men in mere seconds.

Shadow: So you're Hades.

Hades: And you must be Shadow. Neo has told me so much about you…..Dragon Slayer.

Shadow rushed him throwing a punch but Hades catches the punch to Shadow's surprise.

Hades: Impressive. A strong punch indeed, however….

Hades delivers a powerful gut punch, Shadow skidded backwards. He held his stomach in pain with one hand.

Shadow[thinking] Damn it. He's stronger than I thought, better pull out all the stops.

Shadow threw several chaos spears at Hades. But Hades shot magic blasts, from his finger like a gun, destroying the attacks. Shadow teleported behind.

Shadow: Chaos Dragon Talon!

Hades delivering a strong magic kick to his as Hades screamed in pain as he fell to the ground. Shadow charged in for another attack, but Hades used a magical chain on Shadow that wrapped around his neck. Hades whipped Shadow around crashing into nearby buildings. Shadow struggled screamed in pain as he choked by the chain. Hades let go of the chain sending Shadow into a nearby building.

Hades: Time to end this, boy.

Hades held up his hand and aimed it towards the building, charging up an attack.

Hades: HELL'S JUDGEMENT!

A powerful beam struck the building and caused a huge explosion.

Hades: Such a shame. What a waste of a powerful wizard.

Ur: Ice Make...ICE GEYSER!

Suddenly out of nowhere, spikes of ice struck Hades, cutting him and impaling him but not fatally. Hades shoulder was punctured and was bleeding.

Ur: You bastard. You'll pay for everything you've done!

Ur had tears

Hades: Is that so?

Hades used his magic to recover and heal his wounds. Ur stood in shock seeing Hades fully recovered.

Ur: Impossible….

Hades: Ur Milkovich….the Ice Witch. I've heard claims that your magic is on the same level as the 10 Wizards Saints. And I see those claims are true.

Ur: Ice Mak-

Before she could finish, Hades had rushed her and grabbed her by the neck choking her. He raised his fingers like a gun at her head.

Hades: I will grant a swift death.

Suddenly from where Shadow was, a surge of magic powers caused shockwaves making Hades stumble and letting go of Ur. He turned to see Shadow standing but he was. His hair was no longer black but yellow with red streaks. His eyes looked like that of a dragon with teeth to match. He walked towards with torn clothes and blood covering him.

Shadow: Playtime is over….prepare to die.
