Dan's POV
I was slipping in and out of consciousness the entire time masquerade was dragging me back to his base where he and Hal-G were operating. On my latest trip into the blissful serenity I was reliving my most treasured memory of me and Shun, we were 9 years old and were celebrating some holiday we had made up I have no recollection of what the holiday was only that on that day you weren't allowed to yell or scream but you had to make the other yell or scream as much as possible, I know it's a horrible holiday but we were 9, and at the end of the day the person who screamed the least got to choose a punishment for the other.
Flash back
I was searching franticly for Shun this year I was going to win in our little holiday I was going to win for once I would get to give him a punishment it was my turn now "Shun, come out come out where ever you are, stop hiding." "Whoever said I was hiding?" I span around as fast as I could and saw Shun standing in front of a huge lake he was wearing his swim trunks and a blue jean jacket, I had bought him 2 for Christmas last year and he seemed to like them, he was soaking wet he had obviously been swimming and was showing off because he got his 10 meter swimming badge before me. "I did" I don't know why I said that but once I had I charged at him and tackled him sending us both flying into the water it was supposed to make him yell but of cause he didn't he just ended up swinging his arms madly in a futile attempt to stay balanced. We landed with a rather disappointing splash in the water you would have thought 2 people would at least make a medium sized on but we got more of a plop. "I win" Shun stated "fine but can we save the punishment till tomorrow cause I really want to go swimming" I knew Shun would want to as well since he always relished in any chance he got to prove he was better than me "sure as long as we can have a race" "fine let me just get changed first" I pushed myself up and onto my feet water practical rained of me "why your already soaked" he had a point. I walked further into the lake till the water was to my waist and motioned for Shun to follow. He stood beside me pulled his jacket off and let it float of through the water I saw a smirk plastered on his face he obviously thought he would win which he probably would but I wasn't going to make it easy for him. "Ready, set, GO!" I called and we set off he had a head start but I wasn't too far behind it would be close just like I wanted. But of cause he still won I wasn't too surprised about it he did have his 10 meter badge after all but even though I wasn't surprised I was still slightly disappointed that I lost "I will beat you" I told him on the other side of the lake "I'll look forwards to it" he smiled back reaching out and grabbing his jacket which had drifted over to us
End flask back
Once the flash back ended I regained consciousness again and I had chance to take in my surroundings I appeared to be in some sort of castle but I couldn't be too sure about it since my vision was still foggy. I turned my head trying to get a better picture of where I was when I saw Julio Santana he was 1 of masquerade's lackeys dragging me by the collar well this is just great, and with that I passed out again.
