The second last day of the week came and Shade, Root, and Mystic were at the village exit gate.
"Good luck Shade...hope you come back alive..",
"Heh...dont worry about it...I''ll be fine Maxie...and tell Darrius we will be back soon...",
"Stay alive Shade...please promise you'll come back alive",
"You have my word...", he said rubbing the guy's head,
"Well you guys stay alert, and be cautious..." said Root ancious to come along,
"Hehe...hey Root come along withi us...we sure could use a guy like your talent wit us",
"Really?...YAHOOO!", the furrry lttle Squrriel/Mouse jumped on Mystic's back, and wave goodbye to the kids. Shade and Mystic headed off, and they waved goodbye to the the kids, and walked onward to the liar of the beast.
4 hours later:
"Shade...we've been walking for 4 hours now...I cant take another step...",
"Come on...then fly through the air..you could stretch out your wings some more right?","Oh right...hang on...uh Root",
"You ot it...",
"Hey...Mystic ...we shouldn't be far from the liar now...so stay close to the ground",
"How can you tell?",
"I can just feel the around in my body..",
"Oh well...how did you know that?",
"You mean wat I just said...is true?","Yes...the shdows in yu...are callig out the demon that is nearby...so that it can kill you, and release from you",
"So what you're saying is...the gods imprisoned a demon within me.?",
"Not quite...remember that time when you were a boy...and that shaho you sad attacked you",
"Yeah..",
"It was trying to kill you.",
"*gasp*...wha?...you're kidding!",
"No..it was trying to kill you",
"The gods protected you...when it reached your body, you had the ability to take control of it, but half of your body shut down...your half shadow, half human",
"Hm..yea I know that...so all I got to do is do what I got to do, and everything will be alright right?",
"Mhm...thats right...",
"Alright then...I'm ready.", Root picked up a scent of blood, and knew that they're close to the liar of the beast,
"We're not so far from it now...in fact we're here!", Shade picked up by the power of his shdows, he picked up a tingly feeling asif there was an evil spirit near b.
"Hey...I feel soethig...it feels dark",
"Yep...we're here alright...", Mystic covered Root with his feathers ad told him t stay hidden, s that he couldn't see the deadly spirit that Sade feels,
Shade where is it?" Root said scared,
"It's no here...it's somewhere close by!", Shade then ran through...and Mystic followed him, carrying Root. Shade found a dark,dam cave where he smells the something is living here,
"Yep...the spirits in here...I can feel it".
In the Beast's Cavern:
"*Gulp* Shade do you know where you're going?", he said looking very scared,
"...yeah.. do...the spirit is in here...somewhere...and I will find it", Root had a very scared look in his face, and Mysi continued to buryy him in his feathers,
"Alright...now I can sence multiple spirits...alright..whatever you do..stay behindme at all tmes..okay?",
"You aint got to tell me twice", he said looking for a evil substance. Sade then stopped. and felt that a spirit is right in the very room,
"Wait...stay where you are!",
"Okay...!",. Shade knwe that he was being watched as he speaks, but couldn'tcout on it, so he takes out his sword, and looks blindly, but couldnt find him,
"*Ghostly laughter*",
Show yourself demon!",
...DO YOU WANT ME TO, BECUASE I INDEED RECALL THAT YU MUST BE THE SON OF TIME",
"Yeah...and ?",
"YU DONT KNOW HOW LONG I'VE WANTED TO EAT THE FLESH OFF YOUR BONES...HAHAH",
"You dont scare me...you filthy thing",
"OH IS THAT SO...HAHAHAHAH THEN FACE ME YOU HUMAN", ten it appeared as a little demon child,
"Eww...you dont scare me",
"HAHAHAHHAAH NOT LETS GO" the demon's arms fall off, and out comes blades,
"Shade!...it's a Shackler demon!...watch out for his deadly blades!"warned Mystic sheltering Root. (The theme for a mini boss in Ocarina of Time begins to play),
( A Shackler demon is demon who uses the apperance of younger children, who has the voice of younger children when needed, on of Satar's finest scouts, and interceptors. Weak point is he's about to swing both of his swords, in a crushing position, like both of his arms are wide apart, tand they bring them together, the time you strike is when he widens his arms.)
"COME HERE HUMAN...TIME FOR MY DAILY LUNCH HJAHAHAHAAHAH",
"Aright ugly bring it!". Shade got into his fighting position, and then demon just walked towards him, Shade ust walked i around him, so he wouldn't lose hi balance, and then it attacked. It attempted to slice him, bu missed, it attacked again, and it missed again, Shade took control of his balance, but still ha ot figue out the right time tokill it,.
"wHATS THE MATTER HUMAN AFRAID...OF A LITTLE CHILD KILLER",
"Alright...here I go!". Shade began to think, knowing that there had to be an opening, so he began baiting him,. and just stood there, waiting to do something which very dangerous.
"NOW!...I MUST SAY...YOU ARE THE LONGEST OPPONENT..THAT HAS EVER SURVIVED AGAINS ME...HAHAHAHAHAHAH",
"Alright...com andget me yo ugly demon!", Shade began to make it furious, and just at that split second, it widen it's arms, and that gave Shad te cance to strike, so he grabs his sword with both hands, jumps and slices him inthe middle. He falls backwards, but stands up straight:
FOOL...YOU MADE A MISTAKE...FEEL ME WRATH HUMAN!",
"Bring...it ugly", Shade stood there again, and for the demon to come to him. He widen his arms again, and knowing what he was going to do, he quickly stabbed him in the stomach, and then he fell down hard to the ground, with his body vanishing, breaking in pieces, (Music ends)
"MASTER...H-H-HAVE MISERY ON ME!...HAVE MISERY ON ME!",
"Master?" Mystic said looking the body, with his pieces of his body, falling in, basically breaking in pieces. The bdy vanished ito dust, and the spirit faded away, and the other spirits also faded, because of the Master's disgustment.
"Hmmm...figures...a coward always..depend on someone to do their evil dirty work fr them",
"Well...Shade..uh?..what you are doing right now...Satar can murder you",
"Yea I know...but I coward is a coward no matter how strong he is", Shade no longer feels aymore but oly one, and he knows who it is, and no it isn't Satar. Mystic,while carrying Root, walked along with Shade, and continued down the deep cavern.
"Uh OH...",
"Man..I hate places like this",
"Same here", the trio said looking at the two way entrace,
"Which way...should we go",
"Easy...watch this...", Shade went to the first one, and try to feel for any spirits, but couldnt, so he went over to the next one, and felt a tremedous amount of spirt, but unfortunetly it was one spirit, and Shade suggested that they went to the second.
"Are..you sure?",
"If you don't believe me...wait out here!",
"Um?...no...I'm going with you boy!",
"Thats what I thought...now come on!". Shade and Mystic went in the second entrance, and saw an entranceto anoter part of the cavern, bt without hesitation Shade just went on in.
"Hey?... I dont think this is a good thing!",
"Yea..but I'm willing to...".
*Boulder falls from ceiling blocking the entrance*
"Shade!.?...can you here me?",
"Yeah I can...and I need you to LET ME OUT!",
"I told you this would happen!",
"Now what am I supposed to do?",
"I dont know...try to find another way there!",
"But I can't...it's gonna be really hard".
*LOAD ROAR!*,
"Please...tell me that was your stomach",
"I don't know..I think it was",
*EVEN LOUDER ROAR!*,
"Okay...thats not your stomach",
"Now that wasn't...listen Shade...you're gonna have to fight and kill whatever's in there with you", Shade turned around, and tried to find what was in there with him, so he started having flashbacks, about the time he came to a place like this, and then he sees blood dripping from the ceiling, and then he gets another flashback aout something attacking,
*GROOOOWWWLL!*, he looks up and sees a Konotor,(The theme of Boss Battle when Young Link battles his 1st boss, plays)
"WHOA!", he shouted jumping out of the way. The Konotor, flew from the ceiling, and began to attack,
"Yikes...ITS AND KONOTOR!",
*ROOOAAARRR!*, the ferocious beast continues to attack Shade, knowing that he will have a slim chance of surviving,
"Alright...come on...I can do this!", Shade takes his sword, and goes back to fighting stance,
"Shade!..this i not like the demon we fight...you fought this monster before...I'm sure you know waht to do",
"Um!..not really!",
*RROOOOOOAARR!*,
"Shade...this is the monster that unleashed you power of your shadows, attack him wit your showdows!" Mystic called as the monster knocked Shade to the wall. Shade stood up, and the monster charged at him, he jumped and stabbed it in the back,
*PAINFUL ROOOAARR!*,
"Alright..ugly...come get some!", the monster grew even more rage, and just continued to charge, Shade threw his sword in its eye,
*PAINFUL ROOOAAARRR!*,
"Here I go...", Shade concentrated and dug deeper inhis conscious and used his shadow powers, and that allowed the shadows to appear before him, surrounding his body, Shade's eye turns red everytime he blinks, which means he alowed a partial amount of the demon's power to take over his body.
"Alright...you ugly pathetic excuse for monster...I'm ready to have your head!", Shade qucklyjumped on the monster's back, and took his sword from its eye, and back flipped off of it. His sword began turning shadowy black, and he eyes turning red ment that not only he could see the beas's every move, he increases his power, and so the beast began charging again, and Shade charged at it as well, anmd with all of his force, might, and power, he penetrated through the beast, making the beast go into pieces. Shade use almost 80% of hs energy, which could have killed him, Shade was restored back to normal, and all the evil spirits living in the cavern were all dead.
"*Panting Heavily*...", and as soon as his vision was beggig to become all blury, a big heart appeared from where the beast had died, and so Shade reached out and grabbed it, and as soon as he did, he felt better then he did before, and called out to his friend:
"Hang on Mystic...watch this...", Shade sliced the heavy boulder in half, and was able oto exit, but then a blue sustance was where the beast was slain,
"Hay?...what is that?",
"Oh..thats just a portal that will take us outside",
"It will?...okay then what are we waiting for?..!", Shade and the others went to the portal, and it just lifted them up, and transported them to the exit gate of Dewpoint Town, but of course nobody noticed they returned until they heard Mystic burp.
"Tha was disgusting!",
"Yea it was!",
"Exscue me...my bad..". The kids ran over to Shade, with happy and relief that their one true pal has made it.
"Shade!",
"Maxie...how are you guys doing?.!"
"You made it...you're alive...!,
"I know...it was easy...and I told you...I will be back didn't ",
"Well...if you guys dont mind...I need to get some rest", the kids, and the trio went to Shade's room, btu Mystic annonced his arrival,
"Omgosh it's the kid that was here...he's back?..!",
"WHat the?..!",
"He must be joking...",
"Nope..I'm not joking Shade here won, he has slain by the neck",
"No not really...I sorta reduced him to bits",
"Omgosh ...how?...how is this possible?",
"I'm a miracle...I can do things with the help of a god",
"...Wow...you got any proof?",
"Uh?...Um?...",,
"See I knew you were lying!",
"Actually he wasn't..." said Mystic showing the head of the beast,
" What the?...who the?...when and where did you?",
"Easy...while you were so anxious to leave, I saw the head, and hid it in the bottom part of my feathers...and dont you dare laugh!",
"Riiight...",
"Whoa!...it's true...all hail Shade...for saving our town from that dreadful beast",
"hm...huh no problem...and hey where's the mayor?",
"Oh we rebelldaginst him, and we just threw him out of our town",
"Oh oay...so'll see you guys tomorow", Shade the others went into the room, and decided tosleep early, and leave town at night.
At night at the room:
"So Shade...you ready to hit the road...",
"You know it...I've been ready to go and get out of his place, and go back home to step-dad",
"Well hope you guys had a nice stay here",
"Yeah...we have...",
"And we liked it...a lil",
"Well...looks go", Shade,Mystic, and Root left the room, gathered all of their stuff, and went to the entrance gate.
"Well you ready Mystic?",
"Of course...goodbye Dewpoint Town, hello Green Forest Village!",
"Well yall have a nice trip back home...see ya ..when I see ya",
"Wait a minute...you're staying..whatever happend to ",
"I'm with you guys every step of the way",
"Oh yea...so I'm coming with you guys!", he said wth a very happy face. And from then on, they walked from Dewpoint Town, all the way through the dnaerous creeks, the creep animals, the poisonious flowers, and the ugly old gate keeper opening the gate to the village.
"*Sigh*..it's nice to be ...home?" Mystic stopped as he sees a green thick fog, making it impossible to see anything.
"This your home?...",
"Nope...this isn't like our home...something's wrong" Shade responded, when all of a sudden he collasped on the grund, seizuring, feeling like something's coming out of him.
"Shade...you alright?...",
"I-I...feel s-s-ss-pirits",
"Evil spirits huh?...but the spirits you face, you usually ...uh oh...that means" as Mystic said that last word, a horse jumps through the fog, and a rider who wore everything in black, and with short hair jumped fomr the clouds, and looked Shade on the ground, but couldn't identify him, so he laughed and continued down and disappeared as his horse took him away from the trio.
"Shade...wake up...you can get up now!",
"Huh?...hey where's the fog?",
"It's gone..when that horseman went away, he took the fog with him",
"Come on...we gotta get home!" he said immediatly getting up, and dashing to his house,
"Your...welcome!...*Sigh*...come on Root", Mystic followed carrying Root. The village was in complete wreck, people were trying to put out the fire, and all of their houses were lost, Shade went to his house, and found his ste-dad on the ground coughing up blood, he went to him, and said:
"Dad!...Dad!.." he said with his voice breaking,
"M..My son...you have grown...",
"Yes...I-I-I-have",
"*..small laughter*...how was it...was it tha hard?",
"No sir..wasn't hard for me at all",
"Liar...*small laughter...cough cough*...",
"Daddy...who?...who did this?..",
"S...Satar...and his ...evil menions",
"SATAR!.?...why that.." then is him, that he encountered him at the exit gates..., he was knocked out when he arrived,
"Dad...you ned help..",
"Noo!...my time has come...it's time for you to start your journey...you have obviously proven that you are the Son of Time...*cough...cough*...",
"But...how am I supposed to find answers...to find where am I supposed to go?",(Sadness and Sorrow from Naruto plays)
"Trust me...you will know...*cough cough*...here...I have kept this...until you return", the step father gives him the Green Time Emerald, and a Rainbow Cube. (The Time Emerald is one of three emeralds, that the gods used to balance the social order of time throughout the world, but because of Satar' doings, they were seperated, and now time will soon corrupt the entire world, and will destroy everything, more detail will come later in the story) (The Rainbow Cube is the Rainbow Boat that Link used in Wind Waker, where he traveled to that volcano island, anyway all you have to do is to figure out the riddle in the cube,and it will turn into a the rainbow boat).
"Oh...okay..but step-dad...please we should take you right noe",
"No...I want this...go Shade...avenge your family, learn the truth, kill Satar...and save Nebulas",

"Goodbye...S...Shade...I will always...love you...my son", and he dropped his hand, Shade criedover him, and swore tohim that he will do his last words.
