I just couldn't resist writing another chapter of this story. I have this story stuck in my head.
To:
Anonymous: I'm glad you liked it. There's a reason I made Sing-Sing look like Sonia, which will be revealed some point soon. No, she isn't, but she will be.
Iceshadow911247: Glad you enjoyed it. It had to be sad, to set up the story. Shen-Song will be alive at the end. Or will he… *Insert cheesy evil laugh here*. Kidding, he'll live.
Now for chapter 1
A tall, lean, man with long silver hair, dark purple eyes, and slightly wrinkled skin wearing a black ivory crown with a dark purple jewel in the center, midnight black shoes, and a midnight black and dark purple robe sat in a golden throne with two red dragons, entwined with the throne, hung over his head. Surveyed the throne room. Looking extremely bored.
Fang.
A similar throne sat near his right. This was obviously was meant for another person.
"Might as well see how my soldiers are doing with the task I assigned them." Fang sighed as his hand glowed dark purple.
As it did, a black orb appeared in front of him.
"Orb of Observeor, show me what I wish to see." Fang said to the orb.
The orb glowed a soft violet color before the ruins of what once was a house.
Fang smiled
Then, the remains of a man appeared in the orb. The remains were burned and melting.
Fang continued to smile
Then, the remains of a woman appeared in the orb. Much like the latter, the remains were burned and melting.
Fang's smile grew bigger.
Then, a woman, of whose face he could not see, with short, spiky black and a creature on top of her head, walked along side a 12 year old boy with curly, shoulder length black hair, blue eyes, and lips wearing a blue tunic with white pants and black shoes.
Fang's smile turned into a frown.
"Do you think you friends will like me?" The boy asked the woman.
"Are you kidding me? Of course they'll like you. I haven't know you for very long, but I can already tell that you're a sweet, caring, and friendly boy." The woman spoke.
Her voice sent shivers down Fang's spine.
The boy smiled, and then he started to look around.
"Is everything ok, Shen-Song?" The woman asked
"Do you ever get the feeling that you're being watched?" Shen-Song asked.
Fang growled and clenched his hand into a fist. The orb shattered.
"Those fools! The boy is still alive! How could it be?"Fang roared
The door to the throne room swung opened and 2 soldiers stepped in.
"Master Fang, you will be happy to know-"A solider with a whispery type voice started.
"That you and your army have failed me!" Fang shouted in rage.
"But, the boy… he fell off a cliff. Cloud Kissers cliff to be exact. The 2nd steepest cliff in all of Hidden Kingdom! There is no way he could've survive!" A solider with an unnaturally deep voice said
"He is not an ordinary boy! You fools! He may not realize it, but he is the 2nd most powerful being in all of Hidden Kingdom! The 1st being myself, of course." Fang said
"I apologize my master; I was the one who said we shouldn't follow him down. It will never happen again." The deep voiced solider said
"You can say that again." Fang said evilly as his hand began to glow dark purple. He pointed it at the deep voiced solider.
Said solider began to glow dark purple as well, then he screamed in agony, terror, and pain. But mostly, agony.
The other solider looked on in pure terror.
He collapsed on the floor, his eyes looking glassy.
Blood was pouring out of his mouth
He was dead.
"Take care of this body." Fang told a nearby man.
The man, looking extremely frightened, nodded and quickly scurried to discard of the body.
The other solider was still trying to make sense of this situation.
"My fine creature, I will be in the royal study if you need me. Do not disturb me." Fang said as he stood up and left for the study.
Royal Study…
Fang stood near a huge fireplace. A picture of Shen-Wu, Sing-Sing, and an infant Shen-Song was hung above the mantel.
Fang glared at the picture of his deceased brother, looking lovingly at his wife and child.
Fang's hands turned into black and dark purple flames.
He fired some at Shen-Wu's and Shen-Song's side of the picture.
Leaving only Sing-Sing's picture to fall at his feet.
He was stopped short, as the picture of his deceased sister in-law.
"You could still be alive, if you only accepted my offer. A woman as beautiful as you deserved someone who would take you far. A man who would never stop loving you. A man like… me" Fang sighed sadly. Then his anger returned and he grabbed the picture and burned it.
"But you settled for a pathetic little goody-goody! And now you are dead!" He shouted. As he shouted, the entire palace shook. "Now, because of you and your son, Hidden Kingdom will either make me there king or burn to the ground in ashes!" Fang roared.
Some of the books burst into flames.
"My Fowl Solider, get in here!" Fang roared
The soldier with a whispery voice appeared in the royal study.
"You called my liege."The solider said.
"We begin planning our assault on Hidden Kingdom now! Bring me the map of Hidden Kingdom!" Fang commanded as he conjured up a comfy chair for him to set in.
The solider conjured up an entire map of Hidden Kingdom.
"Our there any obstacles in my way?" Fang asked
"As of what we can tell, only 3." The soldier said
"Who or what are they?"Fang asked impatiently
"The first one is a place called East Citadel. Run by a man called, Highroller. I strongly suggest we do not make an alliance with him. His plans are childish at best and his plans are always foiled by a band of hero's by the name of First Squad." The soldier explained
Fang nodded and motioned for him to go on.
"The second threat is place called Big Green. It is run by a man called Commander Apetrully. They are where First Squad and many other heroes' reside. It would not be smart to involve them in anyway." The soldier continued
"And the last threat?" Fang asked
"Is a being called Twin Masters. He is a creature who wishes to plunge Hidden Kingdom into total chaos. While, in every attempt to do so, they are also defeated by First Squad, his plans are more sinister. He would be a good ally." The solider said
Fang smiled wickedly.
"I suppose we could give him one chance to prove his worth." Fang said
"But, when we do take over Hidden Kingdom, what are we to do with East Citadel and Big Green?"The soldier asked
Fang walked over to the map and, with only one finger, burned the very places they were at on the map.
"The animals then?" The soldier asked
Fang's hand glowed dark purple, as did a nearby piece of paper, the paper began to fold until it was a perfect looking paper bunny. Fang clenched his fit and the paper bunny disintegrated.
"Ok. And what about the humans?"The soldier asked
"Spare them. I could always use more servants. And who knows, I may even find a perfect queen among the human populations." Fang said happily as the voice of the woman who was walking with Shen-Song popped into his head.
He ignored it.
"Now, where can I find this Twin Masters?" Fang asked
Big Green. First Squad's briefing room…
Lin Chung sat peacefully a top of his launch tube, drawing.
Mighty Ray and Jumpy were passing a ball back in forth to each other.
Mr. NoHands was soaking his feet while talking to Commander Apetrully.
Mystique Sonia stepped into the room. Shen-Song right behind her, hiding behind her.
"Mystique Sonia, did you enjoy your walk?" Commander Apetrully asked
"Yes I did. And I brought a new friend back with me."Mystique Sonia said
"May we meet this friend?" Lin Chung asked setting his drawing aside.
Sonia nodded and turned her head.
"Come on out. They're my friends, you can trust them." Sonia whispered.
Shen-Song stepped out from behind Sonia. He avoided everyone's gaze.
"This is Shen-Song. He fell from the top of Cloud Kissers Cliff and survived. He was shaken up pretty well, so I said he could stay here until he feels ready to go home." Sonia said
"If it is ok with all of you." Shen-Song said softly.
"Why, of course it is ok! We would be happy to let you stay here as long as you need to." Commander Apetrully said happily as he walked up to Shen-Song.
"I am Commander Apetrully." Commander Apetrully held out his hand. Shen-Song smiled and shook it.
"I'm Mr. NoHands. It's a pleasure to meet you." Mr. NoHands said friendly.
Ling Chung stepped forward.
"I am Lin Chung. Leader of First Squad. And this is Jumpy Ghostface." Lin Chung said gesturing to Jumpy, who smiled kindly and waved
"Nice… to… meet… you."Jumpy said
"And this is-"Lin Chung started
"I am Mighty Ray. The Mightiest warrior in all of Big Green." Mighty Ray said.
Shen-Song turned to Mystique Sonia
"Is this the guy with a banana for a brain?" Shen-Song asked
Mystique Sonia started to laugh as did Jumpy. While Commander Apetrully and Mr. NoHands chuckled and Lin Chung smiled. Mighty Ray fumed.
"Thank You for letting me stay here. I have nowhere else to go truthfully." Shen-Song said
Everyone became wide-eyed.
"Why is that?"Sonia asked
"The house I lived in for 12 years was burned down and the people I thought were my parents were killed by a mad-man of an uncle who wants me dead."Shen-Song said sadly as he avoided Sonia and Yaksha's gaze.
Everyone's jaws dropped just a little bit. Who would want this boy dead?
"Why would he want you dead?" Sonia asked.
Shen-Song fished out the note that the woman gave him a mere hour ago.
"This note can it explain it better than I can." Shen-Song handed the note to Mystique Sonia.
She read the note silently and was wide-eyed when she finished reading it.
"Well, what does it say?" Mr. NoHands asked
Sonia handed the note to Lin Chung.
Everyone peered over Lin Chung's shoulders to read the note.
When they finished reading, they all started at Shen-Song with a surprised expression.
"Shen-Song, why don't we go get some dinner and then get you settled in to a room? That sounds ok?" Mystique Sonia asked
Shen-Song's face lit up.
"Yes! I'm starving!" Shen-Song said happily
"Well then let's go." Sonia said opening the door.
Sonia and Shen-Song stepped out of the room.
"Mystique Sonia can we-"Lin Chung was cut off by Yaksha slamming the door. "Talk."
"The King of Dragons? Didn't the Dragon Empire cut itself off from Hidden Kingdom years ago?" Mr. NoHands asked
"Yes. This makes this situation, even more confusing." Commander Apetrully.
What do you all think?
