Chapter 2: the shadows attack

As I ran through the forest only one thought went through my head 'Just what the hell am I thinking?' I mean come on what simple minded person would come running into a forest right after he hears a scream, doesn't that just spell horror movie murder.

Well whatever the reason is I'll found out soon enough.

When I got to the forest clearing I saw it; these pure black creatures with red eyes it seemed as though they haven't notice me yet thank you god.

"STAY AWAY!" I heard a voice say and it was coming from the area were those creatures where.

Then I saw it those creatures were ganging up on some weird horse with red hair and a horn. I don't know what that thing is all I know is that those creatures were going to hurt it. I had to act fast so I did the only thing I could do "HEY! You ugly freaks of nature get away from him right now or I'm gonna beat you till your nothing but a black puddle!" I yelled to the creatures obviously not my best plan so far but it did get their attention.

"Kreee-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH"

Oh shit.Now what am I supposed to do they stop paying attention to the kid but now they see me. Well like Fox always tell me it's time to put my money were my mouth.

"Come on I can take you all on you sons of bitches" as I said this I came in to land a punch on one of the creatures and to my surprise it went right through it "What the fu-GAAAAAAH!" The next thing I knew I was sent flying into a nearby tree "Damn that hurt."

"KRE-KRE-KreeeeAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA H!" It screamed again damn that's gonna get annoying.

"R... run away y...you idiot." the horse thing next to me said.

"Huh?" I was so busy with those creatures I forgot all about it. Now that I'm closer to him I can see what he looks like: He's tan with a blue tail and what appears to be two long dark blue like eyebrow things that reach up to its red hair, the back of his head and the front of his neck is covered in light blue fur with white spots on the front not to mention he is covered in scars and cuts my guess is from the creatures.

"What the hell are you?" I asked him hoping to get a reply

"There's no time just get out of here already those things are coming closer." He ordered me as he tried getting back. "Will you stop gawking and go already I can handle these things."

What's this kids deal can't he tell he won't win even if he did survive there first attack there is no way he can take any more damage If he does he'll most likely die "Dammit come on you stupid horse think for three seconds will ya if you take any more hits from does things you will die understand now is the time to run! Not fight!" I yelled to him hoping it get through.

"I never ran from a fight before and I won't start now so shut the hell up! If you want to go run and hide then do it but I will fight and destroy these things no matter what." He stated will trying to stand up.

'Damn it if he won't lesson to reason then I'll have to take him by force.' I thought. I started to sprint toward his direction as soon as those creatures started to attack us again. I grabbed the horse and started running in the opposite direction.

"What are you doing? Let me go right now! I told you already that I wouldn't run away didn't I so let me go you stupid idiotic human!" He said as trying to get out of my grip

"Look, those creatures will kill you without a second thought alright so if you want to live a longer life than help me stay away from them understand!"

"…..Okay no need to yell you idiot."

"Fuck you. Now which way do we go?!" I asked still running through forest.

"Turn left and then keep going straight there should be a cave we can hide in there."

"I sure hope your right." I continued to run until we reached the cave and just as the horse said it was a good place to hide for it was covered in moss and branches so I don't think they will find us in here. We took cover in the cave and waited for those creatures to pass.

"KRE-AH-KRE-AAAAAAAAAAAH. *sniff* *sniff* Kre-aaaah!"

"Looks like there gone. *sigh* thank you god but why did it seem like there were more of them than before? I mean when I found you there were like three or four of them now there's like ten of them." I asked looking at the horse "So what's the deal what were those things? Why did they attack you? C'mon answer me you damn horse."

"Alright first things first: One stop calling me horse the name is Keldeo you got it human" He asked me with anger in his eyes.

"Yeah I got it."

"Alright now two: I don't know what those things are all I know is that two days ago I woke up by the lake and those things just attacked me out of nowhere and whenever I take one out two more take its place it's like they were ordered to take me out or something." Keldeo said starting to stare at the ground he looks tired and hungry.

"Hey let me ask you a something else hor…keldeo?"

"Nice save *sigh* sure ask your question that seems to be the only thing your good at anyways."

"Alright just how were you able to fight those things? When I tried to lay a punch on one of them my fist went right through it almost like I was hitting air." I stated looking at my fists.

"Maybe I'm just stronger than you" He stated coldly

"Whatever keldeo at least I'm not the one covered in cuts and bruises." I retorted with a smug grin.

"Whatever just shut up already."

After our little Q&A session I and keldeo just stop talking all together. Everything he said just didn't make sense how could these things just appear out of nowhere and just where did they come from? I kept asking myself all these questions until a certain sound interrupted my thoughts.

*GROOOOOOWL* "Ha-ha, looks like with all the excitement that's been going on I guess I got a little hungry." I said with a nervous laugh. It's true though I don't even think I had breakfast this morning

"You are such a weak human I mean come on, I went on two days without eating and I feel great *GROOOOOOWL* EEEH"

"Looks like I'm not the only one that's hungry huh. Two days without can do that. Come on let's get going I think those things are long gone by now." I said starting to get up

"Alright human but I still say I'm stronger got it?" Keldeo asked with a smug grin.

"Yeah Yeah by the way since I stopped calling you horse stop calling me human alright my name is Angeal alright?"

"Yeah alright, Angeal. Now about that food."

xxxxx

We went back to the area where the creatures were before since that seemed to be the only area with fruit that keldeo actually liked. When we got there I noticed just how bad the damage was to this place the trees were destroyed, rocks were crushed, and the wind just seems to stop blowing by here as if it doesn't even exist anymore. Keldeo and I gathered as much fruit we could carry and started heading back into town then I felt that feeling again as if something was watching us.

"Hey Angeal" it was so quit that I failed to notice keldeo calling my name.

"Huh what is it keldeo? Don't tell me you want start eating the fruit now I told you to wait till we get back to town got it." I told him while laughing.

"It's not about the damn fruit jeez and stop talking to me like I'm some little kid!" he yelled with his face red from embarrassment "What I was going to ask is how did you know where to find me and those things just how did you know?"

"Well I heard you call for help so I came running into the forest to help you." I said still smiling at him.

"What are you talking about? I never called for help I was to be busy fighting those things off to call for help."

"What do you mean if you didn't then who did?"

"GYYYYYYYYYYYYAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"Huh?!" we both looked back to see a giant black dragon appear behind us. The bad thing about it is the scream this creature just emitted sounded exactly like the scream for help that I heard earlier. It looked just like the creatures we saw before but only ten time bigger and seemed to look ten times more powerful.

"I think I just found out what called me here." I said to keldeo as I started to back away.

"Well now we know what it is so let's destroy it. You in or out Angeal?" he asked looking at me with determination in his eyes.

As much as I want to run away from this area and as far away from that thing as possible, I knew that keldeo would stay and fight and I couldn't let him fight this thing alone "Fine will take this thing out together keldeo but I doubt it'll be easy."

"Do yOu REaaAAllY THiNK YOU CaN DEfeaT MEEEEEEEEEE! KEKEKEKEKE- HAAHAAAAAAAA!" It said as it started to come towards us.

"Did that thing just talk?!" As me and keldeo said this, a huge blast was sent flying our way but we were able to dodge it time.

"BlacK CANNNON!" It screeched as it sent another blast wave towards our direction this time it hit the ground in front of us sending me and keldeo flying in different directions.

"Damn this thing is more powerful than the others and seems to be smarter and faster than the others we got to find a way to beat it and quick."

"AQUA JET!" as soon as I heard keldeo shout this a jet stream of water was sent out of his hoofs and sent him into the air " try this on for size SACRED SWORD" his horn started to glow white and he landed a direct hit on the monsters head but it seem to do little damage.

"YoU really ThInK a WEAK aTTack LikE ThAT Can HuRT ME! 'SHaDOW FURY'!" the creatures' eyes started glowing and a barrage of black spikes came out of its body and hit keldeo all over sending him flying into a boulder and knocking the wind out of him

"GAAAAAAHAAAAA!"

"KELDEO!" I screamed drawing the creatures attention towards me 'Damn it sees me but what can I do if I hit my fist will just go right through like before or maybe it won't this thing seems to be more solid than the others so it might work if I can get close to it without dying' "Leave my friend alone you bastard and come fight me I'm right here unless your chicken."

"i'll DEStrOy yoU You pATHeTiC pIECE Of MAgGot FOOD! 'MagNEtIC SHADOW'!" his attack started pulling me toward him I didn't expect him to have this kind of attack but it did help my plan some.

"Take this you piece of shit" I was right my fist hit him square in the jaw but to my surprise it did more damage than I expected.

"GYAAAAAAAAH! DaMn the CURSED light Of A GUArd" his magnetic force was put down and I fell to the ground I then noticed a strange symbol started to form on my right hand.

"What the…"

"Ouch that hurt" I heard keldeo say as he got back. I ran to his side to see if he is okay. "I'm fine Angeal but just how'd you land an attack on him?"

"I don't know but it's not important now we have to run while he is still in pain." I implored hoping he'd listen

"I hate to say this but your right we're not strong enough to beat him lets go."

"Right." Finally he agrees with me.

"SHADOW claWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!" he came at us again with both of his hands glowing. I pushed keldeo out the way and then felt a horrific pain in my stomach.

"Gyaaaaaaaaah! *cough* *cough*" I looked down to see the creatures claws pierced right through my stomach and chest "D…da…damn i..it got …me…keldeo..r..run." the last thing I heard was keldeo calling my name and then everything turn black.
