(Back in Amy's Room)

Amy was asleep on her bed. Tossing and turning in her sleep as she was shivering. Her eyes flickered open as she woke up. She felt her room getting cold around her as she looked over and saw that her window was wide open. Amy remembered it being closed before falling asleep, Which, come to think about it, Amy doesn't remember taking a nap. She got up to close her window. As she got to her window, she looked and saw that it was already nighttime. Remembering about Jr's call from this morning. Looking outside her window to see if he was there. Amy didn't see him. In fact...she didn't see anyone around. The city lights from the distance were all gone. Leaving nothing but darkness in the area. Amy was confused about what that was all about. Was there a massive blackout going on? Did any of that have to do with him perhaps? She made her way downstairs to see if Sammy or her friends were around. As she looked. She froze a little as she saw that the front door was also wide open. She quickly ran towards the door and closed it. She stopped to breathe as she noticed that she was afraid.

"What is wrong with me? What am I so afraid of? I'm me after all." She she said to herself as she continued to look around the house. She looked in the living room, dining room, bathroom, even Sammy's room. Even she wasn't there. Granted that Amy didn't care about if something bad had happened to her. But what if she suffers a fate similar to the thing that had caused the sudden disappearances to people. She quickly ran to her room as she locked the door. She turned around to see Dark M Jr right in front of her face. His blue eyes and monstrous body close to her.

"God! Ever try not being a creep once and awhile?"

"Sorry my dear, I didn't mean to frighten you."

"You don't scare me. You just startled me for a second that's all. Between you and that heroic idiot. You guys lost your touch on scary."

"Really? Then why do I hear your heartbeat going faster….and faster?" Amy was indeed scared right now. He then grabbed her arms to hold her still.

"Let go of me!" She demanded. Kicking him but with no effect on him.

"No need to lie to me Amy, I love knowing you're scared. You'll taste so much better." He grinned as Amy closed her eyes.

"Noooo!" Amy's eyes widened as she suddenly felt something touch her lips, She saw that Junior was indeed kissing her lips. The kiss was short as Junior ended the kiss between them. Amy was shocked.

"I….I don't…...I thought you were….." Jr held a sharp finger under her chin and lifted her head to face his.

"Hehehe. You act as if this is your first kiss or something."

"It's not that. It's just for a second you sounded like you were going to kill me or something." Jr signed as he released her from his grasp.

"Even after that you still don't trust me?" He said as he turned away from her.

"Well geez, if you wanna tease a girl, maybe not say something like "I would taste good." It's weird and can get confusing since you're a flesh eating monster.".

"What can I say? Not really used to the whole romantic angle." He teased.

"No kidding, but what's really going on? What's up with the town? And where's my sister and her annoying friends?

"Well, long story short I killed every single living thing in this town. Including the M-zoid and his little runt. However, you I find myself taking a liking for so I won't kill you."

"Besides the fact that you work pretty damn fast, but you seriously like me? What happened to mister "I hate humans"? Not saying I want to die but just curious about you're liking towards me"

"True, But I see a lot of myself in you. Evil, selfish, a bit bitchy, loves to have full control and craves attention"

"Mmm well I am all that and proud of it. Nice to see you value me like this."

"Indeed. And above all…." He leaned towards her whispering in her ear.

"Powerful." Hearing that made Amy purr. He then took Amy in his arms as he kissed her again.

"Carry me, let's continue this on my bed." She demanded. He carried her as they continue to kiss. She was placed on her back on the bed. Junior took off her boots as he took off his gloves. She looked over and saw his hands. They were dark, scaly, and clawed. However, the moment she felt his touch on her soft smooth legs. She moaned quite a bit. A mixture of his ice cold hands rubbing her warm feet caused even more moans and giggles from her.

"Enjoy ourselves are we?" He said as he began to kiss her legs. He continued to explore her body as he kissed her stomach a few times and moved on to her neck next. Amy was in pure ecstasy as he was kissing her neck.

"Yeah that's the spot." She moaned, Amy had kissed plenty of guys at her high school. All of them terrible or ok kissers, but none of them could compare to this. She always wanted someone in her level and this was it. Suddenly she felt him starting to nibble a bit on her neck.

"Ok thats enough necking." He nibbled her harder.

"I told you to knock it off with that. You're hurting me- AHHHHHHHHH!" She screamed as he bit her neck hard. She kicked him off her as her neck was bleeding like crazy. Jr laughed as he licked his blood covered lips.

"Sorry Amy. But what can I say….You taste sooooooo good." He laughed as he growled, showing her his sharp teeth. Amy screamed as he lunged at her.

Amy woke up on her bed breathing heavy and very sweaty. She looked around and didn't see Dark M Jr, the sun was still up and she could hear people downstairs.

"It was all a dream." She happily said to herself. Amy appeared to had taken a nap after her call with Dark M Jr earlier.

"God I did take a nap after all. Oh well, glad at least I'm in one piece. Still, even though it was a dream, apart of me was really hoping the kissing was really happening…WAIT WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT? As if I could ever love that monster. I bet he's a terrible kisser in real life too." Amy said in disgust as she got out of her room and walked downstairs to see her sister and her friends walking out of the house. "Ugh I also wished she was gone already. Patiences Amy, patiences" She thought to herself before speaking to her twin. "Hey sis, where are you and your friends going?" Amy asked.

"Hey Amy. We're just going to the mall to go shop of dresses for the dance tomorrow. Hey, you wanna shop with us?" She offered as Amy accepted while it pained her to go along with them, she knew that hanging around with them could give her detailed information to give Dark M Jr later. They all walking and entered Shawn's van as they took off.

(Elsewhere back in the woods)

Dark M Jr walked out of the woods to the road ahead, as the walked, he transformed into his human form "Drake." He looked down to his chest and pulled out his collar.

"Yessss I can feel the power growing within me. I'm almost at my maximum power. Just a few more to g-" He was suddenly cut off as he was hit by a van. He flew a bit in the air as he fell to the ground. The van turned out to be Shawn's van. Shawn suggested that they go to the woods for a short-cut to the mall. Before hitting Jr, Shawn took his eye off the road for a moment explaining why the woods would be a good place to run toward in case of a zombie attack. Unaware that Jr was there. Everyone yelled at Shawn in the van as Sammy and Amy went to go check on "Drake." He slowly got on his knees growling.

"Whoever has the guts in doing that, Is about to lose their guts." He thought to himself as he turned his head to see the twins.

"Oh my god! Drake are you ok?" Sammy screamed. She tried to help him get back on his feet but refused and gladly got back up himself.

"I'm alright thank you." He lied as he looked over to Amy.

"Amy. How wonderful to see you again" He he said as he walked over to her.

Drake offered his hand to her as she took it, he kissed her hand with a smile on his face. Amy quickly took her hand away in disgust. He couldn't help but smile a bit from her reaction.

"So, may I ask where you might be going in such a hurry to where you're driving like there's no tomorrow?"

"We're very sorry about hitting you. Our friend Shawn wasn't looking at the time. Are you sure you're ok Drake?"

"100% my dear. I just hope he's careful next time. Not everyone is as durable as me." He walked past the twins.

"You sure you don't need to get to a hospital or something?" Sammy asked him as he continued walking.

"I'm fine, Just need to walk it off that's all. Besides I got some arrons to run." Drake turned around and looked at the twins.

"I hope to see you two later." He winked as he walked away. Amy couldn't help but blush a bit seeing that.

"Aww, I think he likes you sis." Sammy said as she headed back to the van.

"Hmph" Amy looked away as she quickly got back in the van with her sister. As Drake walked past the van, he quickly glared at the gang and continued to walk away.

"There's something about that guy I don't like." Shawn said.

"What Drake? He seems nice to Sammy. " said Jasmine.

"Yeah, a little too nice if you ask me. Amy may be all nice right now. But let's not forget how she was before.I got my eyes on the two of them. Also what's mister perfect doing in the woods here anyway?"

"Maybe he's hiking, or maybe he wants time to himself like Sammy and Shadow. Which reminds me, Where do you guys think he's at right now?" Mike added.

"Not sure, I just hope he finds that creep killing people. I feel terrible with him being framing for it." Jasmine said as the gang all agreed

"Yeah, hope he can somehow show up before or after the dance. He's so romantic with Sammy it's absolutely beautiful. Just how Mike would always be around me." Zoey said as she took Mike's hand in her's.

"Aw anything for you Zoey." He said as he kissed her, making her giggle. Both Sammy and Amy entered the van. Sammy smacked Shawn in the head.

"What was that for?"

"For not watching the road, You could had killed him or anyone for that matter." She yelled as loud as she could at him.

"It's a good thing Shadow wasn't here or else he'd probably have me arrested or something." Shawn joked as he continued to drive.

(Back at Tony's Restaurant)

After his death, Tony's Place had been closed down. Shadow was inside the closed place. It was dark, still messy from what happened inside with some "do not cross" police banners around the place. Shadow was sure he could at least find something that would help find out if Dark M Jr was really responsible for his death. He looked around the room and found nothing odd. This changed as he walked into the kitchen accidently kicked a pot in a corner. As he grabbed the pot, He noticed something on it. It was some sort of black substance.

'What on earth is this? Could this maybe be blood? It's clearly not human blood that's for sure. I've never seen anything like this Whatever this is definitely worth keeping thats for sure." Before he could collect a sample of it Shadow saw a bright light came from outside the place. He quickly hid from being seen by whoever was out there. He glanced over and saw two figures covered by the light of car headlights. As they walked forward to be more visible he still couldn't see them very well other than one of them oddly having a knife tattooed on his bare arm, but he could make out on what they were saying.

"You sure about this man? What if we get caught or something?"

"All I care about is the money we were promised if we burn this place down. Go and dump the gasoline in there." He said as Shadow watched him prepare a molotov cocktail while the other guy poured gasoline around the front of the place. The man then entered the place and poured the rest of the gasoline. That's when Shadow jumped out and punched the man in the face. The thug outside heard this and looked over to see Shadow through the window.

"OH SHIT!" He yelled and threw the cocktail in the building, starting a fire. Shadow moved quickly and grabbed the man out of the building as well. He noticed he forgot to grab the pot with the substance on it. He tried running back in the building again, but the fire and smoke made it hard to look around for it. And to make matters worse, the building was beginning to collapse. Forcing Shadow to get out before he was crushed. He jumped out of the building and watched from behind as the building collapsed and burn to the ground.

"Damn, without that black substance, I won't be able to find out what that was or if that would had helped track him down. Those men responsible for this however may help able to tell me who hired them and why. One got away, but the one I saved in the fire should be able to-" Shadow turned around and saw that the thug that escaped as well.

"Just great, I really need to quit talking to myself while on the job."

"Yeah I agree. for a so called hero, you sure are bad at being one." Shadow looked around and saw a teen with a punk outfit and a green mohawk. Shadow stood up and prepared for a fight.

"Woah woah relax there buddy. I'm not here to fight or nothing."

"So you're just here to point out my failure then?"

"...Yeah pretty much." He laughed. Shadow relaxed his body and growled a bit.

"Everyone's a critic. I don't have time for this, I need to go catch the guys that caused this chaos."

"Wait wait wait, I think we can help each other out here. I think I might just know how to find them for you." This was just the perfect news Shadow could get at a time like this.

"Wait you do?"

"Yeah, I know a bar with this toughest and ruthless guys around here that just might know where you can get them. Plus I got a good view on what the guys looked like. So yeah, I can take you to this bar if you want." He offered.

"Thank you that would be very...hold on. Why are you helping me? This isn't some kind of trick or set up is it?"

"Naw nothing like that, but I do want to make an offer with you. I've seen you handle yourself with both thugs and with ducking from cops, so if I help you with your problem, you'll have to own me later. I'll tell you when you'll have to play your part. So do we have a deal?" Shadow was very hesitant to make a deal with this guy, not sure if he'll make him do something illegal or worse. But he knew that Sammy's life was possibly on the line and he needed to find Junior if he is the one behind all of this. Shadow signed and held out his hand to him.

"Fine, we have a deal. You better keep your word. Don't expect me to harm any innocent people if that's what this favor of yours leads to."

"No need to worry about that for sure. And you're word is as good as mine. I'm Duncan by the way." He said as the two stood on it. The sound of sirens caught their attention. "We better get moving, if that's the sound of the boys in blue, we definitely can't be seen around this mess. Specially with the word going around about you."

"Agreed." Shadow said as he followed Duncan to the bar he promised to take him to.

(Back outside Sammy and Amy's house)

The group drove and stopped in front of the house. Amy got out of the van with a bag of newly bought clothes from the mall. Her sister was going to have a sleepover at Jasmine's place trying out their new dresses for the dance. Quickly saying her goodbye to Amy, they drove off. Amy's fake smile quickly faded, having to act nice and endure a trip with they group was painful to her. But she got some juicy details that she knew Junior would take a liking to. Speaking of which she entered her house and saw him outside in their backyard. She opened the sliding door and allowed him to enter inside.

"Well look who's back, bet you had a swell day with your sister and her friends. Quite an irritating bunch I must say. I could feel their happiness from their vehicle crawling under my skin."

"Same. Spending a day with of them ugh. Now I know what it's like to be with a gang of losers. Also how long have you been out there for?"

"About 30 or so minutes. Beats me I don't have a watch on me. But nothing makes me feel so alive then coldness of the night air. But enough about me. Did you manage to get anything out of today?" He smiled devilishly. She smiled back to him.

"Oh you'll love to hear what I heard today from sister dearest."
