Shawn trekked through the rubble in the cave. One time before Shawn became a spirit detective, in school there were these two burly boys who wanted to fight Shawn because they heard he was tough. The first one gloated on and on about how he was the captain of the football team, the basketball team, and he was a competitive swimmer. It only took Shawn one punch to send that little fraud running home.
" Are you going to teach this guy a lesson, too?" Shawn remembered Ryan saving venomously.
Shawn was the more intelligent of the two brothers. But he was also the one who got them both killed. When Shawn saw the man lying on the train tracks he looked over those disdainful stares and helped the man out of the tracks. But the man was too heavy so he needed Ryan's help to save him.
Shawn was something most people wouldn't find attractive, an abomination at best. He wasn't as handsome or athletic as his brother Ryan, but he had more personality and something girls called " beauty within." He thought dazedly about have all girls thought he had cooties, that he never took anyone to middle school graduation dance, and how the only girl he got into a slow dance was his mom. A sudden feeling of nostalgia swelled up in Shawn. But he was knocked out of his reverie by a sword swinging downwards!
" I let my guard down!"
He saw something walk out of the shadows. The demon who stood there was tall, brown-skinned, black underwear, and wide eyes with small black pupils. The demon had four arms; two on both sides. In each of those hands was a katana.
" A little boy is lost from his mommy!" The big brown demon laughed. " And to find his mommy, he broke into our vicinity, murdered our scapegoat, and tried to infiltrate our base of operations!"
" All I'm trying to do is find my idiot brother," Shawn stiffly replied.
" Trespassing into someone's home gives them the right to take action. You should've left our base alone!"
The tall demon relaxed his arms as he made a cartwheel with his swords. The demon raised all four of his swords up and slashed them downwards. Shawn deftly moved away from the swords. Shawn jumped upwards, and slashed the demons face with his spirit claws.
The demon raised all four of his swords up and jabbed them downwards. Shawn somehow managed to do the splits and jumped away from the tall demon. Shawn jumped and scratched his claws in a flurry towards the demon. Each slash the demon either dodged or blocked them with his sword. Sparks skidded off the swords where Shawn scratched them.
" Not bad, human," the tall demon laughed. " But you're a million years away from beating me. We demons have been living among you for centuries. That is something you cannot understand!"
The tall demon sheathed two of his swords into two scabbards behind his back. The demon raised those swords in a giant X and roared at Shawn. The demon waited for Shawn to yield to him and beg for his death. Shawn, the bloody fool, held his claws up and prepared to fight the demon.
The demon charged at Shawn and swung his swords at him. Shawn jumped to the left for the first strike and blocked the second sword with his right hand. It was a battle of power. Two of Shawn's fingers clenched the blade of the demon's sword where it started to crack in the middle. Before the blade could crack, the demon jumped away from him.
" Four-armed demon, how can you fight with no weapon?" Shawn laughed.
From the forehead a third eye popped out of the demon's forehead. The demon was a triclops. It's third eye glowed blue. A small ball of blue light came out of the demon's third eye and entered the blade. Shawn watched in horror as the cracked metal started to repair itself. The four-armed triclops unsheathed another sword from his scabbard. He had three swords in his arms, a murderous look on his face, and he charged towards Shawn with much more fury in his eyes.
" Sword Tornado!"
The demon spun around with tremendous speed like a tornado ripping through trees. Shawn shuddered at the ferocity of the demons attack. Shawn was too slow. He jumped back, but he was slashed in the chest. Multiple wounds ripped through his chest, arms, and legs. The demon put the three swords together and thrust them into Shawn's chest!
Shawn glowed blue with a spiritual aura as his hands turned into giant claws. The blades bounced off the giant claws. The demon backed up a few feet and stood still.
" Is this the best your powers can do!" The demon laughed.
