Mystery of the Shadow forest!
Next morning
Tony gets up.
"It's quiet" Tony told himself.
Tony gets up and walks to the living room with no one there but the living room cleaned.
"Whoa…who cleaned…"Tony told himself.
Tony spotted a note that was on the dining table.
"Huh? What's this?" Tony picks up the note and reads it.
"Hey Tony its Izzy were glad that we met you and thanks for saving my life and helping Anthony last night also letting us stay at your pad to rest…as you can see its clean…we cleaned it for you because we know that's what your mom told you on the to do list on the refrigerator; so yeah man well see eachother soon at school.

"A true friend huh?" Tony said.
Tony grinned.
"You're welcome Izzy" Tony told himself.
Tony's cell phone rings.
Tony answers.
"Hey Tony…it's me your uncle" He said.
"Alex?" Tony replied.
"Yupp; so you busy today?" Alex asked.
"No why? Was sup?" Tony replied.
"Head to your organization and talk to Destiny she'll tell you what's going on" Alex said.
"Alright then I will" Tony said.
"Later" Alex said.
"Bye" Tony said.
Tony hangs up the phone and goes to his room.
"Man I wonder what it is this time?" Tony said.
Tony creates a portal and walks in.
Destiny was sitting in her chair.
"Come Tony I need a word with you" Destiny said.
"Yeah what is it?" Tony asked.
"I have a favor to ask you" Destiny said.
"A favor?" Tony asked.
"You see the shadow slayer mid ranks need a special student to help out on a mission" Destiny said.
"A mission what type?" Tony asked.
"Not just an ordinary mission but an escort mission" Destiny said.
"Apparently one of the students their have been targeted by the shadows and is need to be taken to a safer location; so we would need your help" destiny said.
"Why me though?" Tony asked.
"Apparently your uncle…wanted you to help on this mission" Destiny said.
"Oh so that explains it" Tony told himself.
"So your going to be gone for a couple of days; also there after you as well so best to be on your guard at all times…I'll create a portal for you to appear at the S.S.M.R" Destiny said.
"So you are to report at S.S.M.R (shadow slayer mid ranks.) At once…is that understood?" Destiny asked.
"Yes ma'am" Tony nodded.
"Come" Destiny said.
Tony nods and Destiny down the hallway.
"Well then I guess I'm headed there…" Tony said
Tony walks down the hallway into a dead end.
"A dead end" Tony told himself.
He watches as Destiny creates a portal.
Destiny turns back to Tony.
"This is the quickest way to the S.S.M.R." Destiny said.
Tony nodded and walks inside.
Tony warps into the other side.
He jumps out the portal and lands on the floor.
Tony turns his head and watches the portal vanish.
Two members of the S.S.M.R. run towards Tony and stops helping him up.
"You alright?" One said.
"Yeah" Tony nodded.
"Your uncle would like to see you" The other said.
Tony nodded.
"Take me to him" Tony said.
The two members of the organization nodded.
"Follow us" One said.
The three walked down the hallway of the Organization.
"Your uncle should be straight ahead" One said.
Tony walks into the room and sees Alex standing talking to his comrade.
Alex stops talking.
"You are dismissed…Frank" Alex said.
"Yes sir…" Frank leaves the room bumping into Tony's shoulder.
It creates images inside Tony's head.
Images of the dark world and a giant shadow with 4 red eyes.
"Soon it will be ours" It said.
Frank looks back at Tony with a humorless look; then continues to walk away.
Tony's eyes widen.
"Tony…finally you're here" Alex said.
Tony looks at Alex.
"Yeah" Tony said.
"Tony…I need you to keep focused on the mission" Alex said.
"Tony I chose you to help on this mission because I know you're capable of getting this job done; for you to help on this mission we need to escort one of my comrades known as the special holder; Mono" Alex explained.
"Mono? Holder?" Tony said.
Alex grins.
"Well as you can see were getting ready for departure; one of my comrades has been targeted by the shadows, so we must escort him to safety to the great Deca…" Alex explained.
"The great Deca?" Tony asked.
"A man to have such great power the first to actually master his power" Alex explained.
"Power?" Tony asked.
"Yea there are known up to 10 people who holds such power" Alex said.
"What are they?" Tony asked.
"Well I heard they're called by the names of, Mono, Di, Tri, Tetra, Dentra, Hexa, Hepta, Octa, Nona, and Deca" Alex explained.
"They each hold a different and special power in each person no one knows what there powers are like or seen their powers except for my friend Zack the Mono holder; the power to summon beasts of his imagination" Alex said.
"I don't know so much about them but well just what turns up" Alex said.
"10 users that hold such powers but what exact power could that be?" Tony told himself.
Zack and two others follow him into the room.
Alex turns to Zack.
"Tony…this is Zack the Mono holder" Alex said.
"Hey" Zack said.
"Hey" Tony said.
"These two beside Zack are as well as my comrades Cre, and Mike they will be joining us to escort Zack to safety" Alex said.
"Hey" Tony said.
"Sup" Mike said.
"Sup" Cre said.
"So when we leave?" Tony asked.
"We depart now" Alex said.
Everyone nods.
Alex, Tony, Zack, Cre, and Mike heads down the hallway.
"Mike create a portal" Alex said.
Mike nods and touches the wall; creating a portal.
"Lets go" Alex said.
Everyone enters.
Meanwhile…in the world of darkness.
The great giant shadow sits in its throne.
Nick appears.
"Master…the Mono holder is on the move…" Nick said.
"As I sensed that it would" It said.
"Master…I've sensed that the Excetran is with them" Nick said.
"It is all in the plan…were getting closer to the Excetran" It said.
"Master?" Nick said.
"I don't think they notice anything about the Mono holder; Theres a surprise for the escort team when they reach their destination" It said.
"What's the surprise master?" Nick said.
"You are the surprise…along with a partner to help you be successful" It grinned.
"Who master?" Nick asked.
"The Man known as the Denta holder…Frank" It said.
Nick's eye widens.
"The Denta holder?" nick said.
Frank appeared kneeling to the giant shadow master.
"Yes master…" Frank said.
"Ah yes the Denta holder; you are to help Nick capture the Excetran…don't worry about the Mono holder" It grinned.
"Yes master" Frank said.
"What is his power? Master?" Nick asked.
"You will soon see…" It grinned.
"Now leave at once" It said.
Yes master" Nick and Frank said. And vanished into darkness.
"Marcos…" It said.
Marcos appears and stood before the great shadow.
"Yes Master" Marcos said.
"You know what to do…watch over Nick and Frank to make sure they capture the Excetran" It said.
"Yes master" Marcos said then vanished into darkness.
"Soon we will fulfill the plans to take back what's ours…" It said.
Meanwhile…
Alex, Tony, Zack, Mike, and Cre walks out of the portal.
"The Great Deca is on the other side of the great downtown city" Alex pointed.
It'll take us a couple days to reach there we must cross the fields and into the forest which would take us to the road to the city" Alex said.
Tony nods.
"Lets go" Alex said.
Everyone heads out dashing across the fields.
"So you think it'll take us days to reach the forest?" Tony asked.
"No…the field is the easy part we just have to go through a simple open field it will only take us a few minutes to get across" Alex said.
"But once we reach the forest that's a different story" Alex said.
"Why you say that?" Tony asked.
"Many others get lost in there" Cre said.
"I remember a story about there was a huge battle in the forest; thousands were fighting in there; soon as the days past more and more would disappear. As they sent for recruits to help; when they arrived and went through the forest, no one was to be found, a great darkness covered the forest and something was their waiting for them, they said that something attacked them, they tried to escape but they became lost and to never to be found again, but as I heard, there was a survivor" Mike said.
"A survivor?" Tony asked.
"Yeah…an old man that helped fought the battle, I don't know his name but I remember he said that something was created within the forest while their was a battle, many people died in there all carried by anger and sorrow by every single body that died there has gathered to create this thing who knows if that thing is still there" Mike said.
"And you had seen this man?" Tony asked.
Yeah…once but then he disappeared and never was to be found again" Mike replied.
"If we keep it up at this pace we may get there in a day instead of 2 days we may even pass through the forest quickly since your scared" Alex teased.
"I'm not scared!" Tony yelled.
"Well if you get lost were not coming back to look for you remember that" Alex said.
"Think you can keep up?" Alex grinned.
Tony looks at Alex and grinned.
"I'll show you" Tony told himself.
"Alex! Forest straight ahead" Mike yelled.
Tony and Alex looks forward.
"Alright guys full speed ahead" Alex yelled.
The group enters a forest.
"Theres a fog inside the forest" Mike said.
"It's cold here…" Alex said.
Everyone jumps on the trees branches and continues straight though jumping branch to branch.
Tony looks both ways and sees no one.
"I don't see anyone…" Tony told himself.
Just as two blades come thrusting towards Tony; Alex jumps in front of Tony and stops Tony from going forward.
"Wait!" Alex said.
Tony and everyone stops in their tracks.
The two blades pierce into the tree; missing their target.
"Someone tried to hit you" Alex said.
Alex vanishes.
Two shadows fall down to the ground.
Tony's eyes widen.
"Shadows?" Tony said.
"We must hurry move forward." Alex said jumping down beside Tony.
"I couldn't sense them" Tony told himself.
Everyone dashes through the forest.
"Make sure you're on close guard Tony I sense that someone's following us.
"Theres more?" Tony told himself.
More blades thrust towards Alex.
"Cre!" Alex said.
"On it!" Cre said while creating an expanding wind barrier.
The barrier knocks back the thrusting blades.
"Theres more" Alex said.
Shadows come out thrusting towards them
"Shadows?" Tony told himself.
"Why couldn't I sense them?" Tony told himself.
Alex puts on his bras knuckles.
"Tony couldn't sense the shadows presence; what's going on?" Alex told himself.
"Don't worry Tony I'll take care of them" Alex said.
Alex jumps towards the shadows punches them; making them rip apart.
Alex lands on another tree branch.
More shadows appear thrusting towards Alex.
"You want some more come and get it" Alex said jumping towards the shadows.
Alex throws daggers towards the shadows hitting every target in his sight.
He jumps on the tree running up.
Another shadow appears thrusting towards Alex.
Alex jumps away from the tree; as he is upside down he gets ready to hit the shadow.
The shadow reveals its body.
Alex's eyes widened.
The body was nearly a puppet.
"A puppet?" Tony said.
"No wonder I couldn't sense the shadows because there all puppets" Tony told himself.
"A puppet?" Alex said.
Alex punches through the puppet; making it shatter into pieces.
Alex's eye widens.
"An explosive?" Alex told him himself.
Alex was caught in the explosion.
"Alex!" Everyone yelled.
Alex jumps out of the Explosion; landing on the tree branch.
His left hand was covering his right elbow wound.
"Shit…I wasn't fast enough" Alex told himself.
"Alex were coming over there to help you!" Mike yelled.
"No! Stay right there! I want you guys to protect Zack at all costs!" Alex yelled.
"I can't risk having Zack being captured or killed" Alex told himself.
More puppets appear thrusting towards Zack, Mike, Cre, and Tony.
"No!" Alex yelled.
"Mike start creating your barrier!" Cre said while he creates his wind barrier again; thrusting expanding winds throws the puppets away causing them to explode.
"Alright but its going to take some time" Mike replied.
A tree falls down towards them by the cause of the explosion.
Alex's eye widens.
Zack, Cre, and Mikes eye widens.
Tony looks up and jumps up grabbing his blade.
Tony slices the tree in pieces; preventing the tree to fall on them.
He lands back down beside Zack.
Mike creates a barrier that surrounds them.
Alex gets relieved.
Alex grins. "I knew that having you here for the mission was a good idea…it's a good thing you're here" Alex told himself.
An earthquake started to tremble the forest.
"What's going on?" everyone thought.
Pillars of wood pops out of the ground.
"What is this?" Tony told himself.
A giant Centipede like creature comes out of the ground with thousands of faces covering its body. A puppet like face attached to the head of the centipede.
"What is that?" Alex tells himself.
The creature opens its mouth and a face of a deformed old man comes out.
"You are now all under my trap…this is the last time you'll never see the light again you will all die" The man said.
Mikes eye widens.
"That man…"Mike said.
"What about him?" Tony asked.
"He's that old man…the survivor" Mike said.
Tony's eye widens.
"The same old man that told you that survived?" Cre said.
"Yea" Mike said.
"You will never make it out of here alive!" The old man yelled.
The centipede swallows back the old man.
"Shit what are we going to do?" Alex Told himself.
