Hack// Shadows of Rebirth

Sorry for the delay. Final exams and all. Well then for those who enjoy reading my story please enjoy. And please try to ignore any grammatical errors.

( The Birth of the Shadows)

Elk and Mia were sitting in a comfortable spot in the field of flowers. Elk had told Mia everything since her disappearance. He told her how " The World" had change during the years, how he obtained Macha making him part of another group, the people he met, their latest meeting and objectives, how Kite had hurt him, and the moment Shadow took him in and trained him, and so on.

" Wow Elk. I can't believe how much things have change. And I'm sorry for what happened to you and Kite, it must have been hard." Mia said.

" Yeah. But then I joined this group and made me feel like family. Sure everyone here is an A. I. but who cares right. As long as I have you guys I'm happy." Elk beamed.

" Well squirt you have change a lot. Years back you would have sulked till the very end. You gotten stronger Elk."

Elk blush at her comment " Well....Shadow did trained me not only physically but emotionally too. But seriously Mia, are you sure your going to be with us? I mean you heard what we're going to do right? I understand if you don't agree."

" It is a little weird, twisted actually. But I'm not gonna leave my best friend alone, not again." Mia assured him.

" Thank you Mia! I'm so happy! I don't know what I would do if you didn't" Elk said happily. " But first you need to speak with the mistress."

" You mean Morganna don't you?" Mia said curious. " Well, I guess I could talk to the wicked women to join her army of the twisted knights"

" Shadow Knights!" Elk pouted.

Mia chuckle " Right. Lead the way." she got up and waited for Elk to do the same and lead her to Morganna's chamber.

On their way the met up with Dark and Cubia who were busy doing absolutely nothing, so the duo decided to stop by and greet them.

" Hey Dark, Cubia! Whats up?!" Elk greeted him cheerfully.

" Well aren't you hyped today. What's gotten into you?" Cubia replied with an amuse smirk.

" Mia will be joining us on our quest for a better world!" Elk said cheerfully.

" Is that so?" Dark said eying Mia.

" Yeah, I guess. Although I'm not totally into the idea." she replied.

Dark looked down with a frown " To be honest, neither am I."

Elk and Cubia looked confused " You don't? Then why are you doing all of this?"

Dark sighted " For Shadow of course. He is so bent on destroying the players that........he has forgotten that they can be good deep inside. Not that I don't agree with him, but doing this is just.......heartless."

Mia looked at the Tsukasa looked alike " Did something happened during your time in 'The World'? She asked.

Dark looked sadden " I guess you can say that. Maybe it'll be better if I start from the beginning."

Meanwhile in another room a young knight was starting to steer up from his slumber. Slowly his eyelids open. He looked at his surroundings and was literally confused.

" I'm......alive? How.......?" his question was cut of by another voice.

" I see you woken up." the voice said.

A. Kite bolted from his position to looked at the owner of said voice. Shadow was sitting in a goth looking chair sitting next to him reading a book. " You!" he pointed an accusing finger in his direction.

Shadow looked at him briefly " Yeah, what about me?"

A. Kite was thinking of something to say to the other. The question he thought earlier pop right back in his head " What am I doing here? Why aren't I deleted? What's going on?!" he asked with a confused look.

" Lets see. Your here because of me, you weren't deleted because I save your sorry butt, and nothings going on. Does that answer your questions." Shadow said with a smirk on his face.

A. Kite blink " You......saved me?" he looked at his lookalike confused " Why?" he said defeated.

Shadow stared at Azure before sighting " Because, other me, I have an idea of what you are going through all to well."

A. Kite went from depress to angry quickly " What do you know of me?! Nothing! HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M GOING THROUGH?" he roared before he took a breath to calm down. He then looked depress again " Aura.....she doesn't want me anymore."

" Like I said I have an idea of what your going through, but I think it would be best to tell you a little about myself first." Shadow explained. A. Kite interest kick in and listen intently to what the other was about to say. " Now as you may know, I am an A.I." A. Kite nodded, that much he knew " But I'm no ordinary A.I.. I am what one would call a true anti existence."

" You mean like Cubia?" A. Kite asked.

" No. Cubia is a being who hides in the shadows to avoid being seen by others, thus earning him the title of an anti existence. A true anti existence is a being that was never meant to exist, at all."

( Raven at home)

Zelkova had just called an emergency group meeting gathering all the members together. He also made them face a blank screen. " Alright is everybody in this room?" he asked the group.

" Yes. Now why are we here?" Yata asked.

" Well, at the field where we all had an unexpected occurrence Shadow Kite drop a Twilight Orb. For those who don't know what it is a type of journal." he replied.

" He keeps a journal? Is he a girl or something?" Shugo asked.

Rena hit Shugo on the back of his head " Don't be stupid! Boys can have journals too! Besides I think he revers to a time journal."

Zelkova nodded " Exactly. This little orb contains information on the player who posses it, from the first time he(she) appeared to the day he lost it. And since technically this thing fell from Shadow himself, well you get the idea. But I only was able to open a little so might as well learn from it."

" Very well then. Lets take a look and see." Ovan said.

Zelkova nodded and place the orb in a device that was placed on the table pointing at the screen. Once place the orb began to glow and the screen became to life.

BlackRose and Kite were panting. They were currently fighting Cubia and losing because every time

they depleted his life bar he simply replenish it again. Kite was at a lost until he remember Auras words 'The bracelet and Cubia are two a side of the same coin. If one is destroy, so is the other'.

Kite looked at his partner " BlackRose! Strike my bracelet!"

" What?! Have you finally gone insane?! I can't do that!" she said.

" It has to be done or else we might die here! Aura said so! This thing is one with the bracelet, if it is destroy so is him!" he replied

" But......what about the last phase! We need it to destroy it!" BlackRose tried to argue.

" If your not going to do it then I will!" he rose one of his blades to strike his bracelet, but BlackRose cut him.

" Oh all right, I'll do it!" she lifted her huge blade and ran at Kite. She struck hard at the arm with the bracelet, Kite screamed in agony. A light bursted from the damage bracelet and blinded everyone in the area. A figure could be seen for a short moment before it banished.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A figure was beginning to open his eyes, tiredly he slowly moved his head to look around. He notice two things, one: he was in some sort of energy bubble with his knees on his chest and his arms around them and two: he saw similar bubbles floating around in and endless see of darkness. He didn't mind being surrounded by darkness, in fact he felt comforted. What bother him was the fact that the bubbles similar to his own were empty, he was alone in that place.

" W-W-Whe-re a-am I-I?" he asked to himself with difficulty trying to pronounce the words.

"You....are in the Dark Abyss. The place were 'things' like you belong." a voice replied. The word thing was said like it was distasteful.

" W-Who are Y-You? And, w-what do you m-mean by that?" he asked the voice.

" I am know as Harald. And what I mean is that you belong here with the rest of my flawed program." it replied.

" Flaw? What are you talking about?" he said now more confused than ever.

" You of course. You are a flaw. Something disgusting thats messing my daughter's world up." Harald said.

The figure shifted a little inside his bubble " What do you mean by that? I haven't done nothing wrong!" he defended himself.

" Oh but you did. By simply being what you are." Harald replied.

" And what am I?" he said annoyed.

" You.....are a true anti existence. An abomination that must be taken care of."

" You mean like.....Cubia?" he asked.

" No. Since Cubia hides in the shadows people don't really know he exist, thus earning him his title. You, however, were not meant to exist at all. A freak of nature if you might." Harald answer.

The figure was now getting angry but kept his cool " Then how come I am here, huh?"

" During my work on the ultimate A.I. I designed a unique data pattern that would give my Aura human traits. However some of that data leaked into my program without my knowing and thus your kind began to surface. When Morganna sent my mind into the virtual world I was able to see this problem and decided to take action and eliminated them. One by one I gather the tainted PC and trapped them in energy bubbles to prevent their escape and with time delete them from existence as it should be." Harald said.

The figure was stunned ' He's eliminating us because he thinks were trash to be deleted?!' " Who the hell do you think you are?! Your not God to give such a cruel judgment on them......us!"

Harald sighted " Tell me, do you know who you were?"

The figure snorted " I know who I AM. I'm Kite of course."

" Hardly. You are but the mere shadow of him. Something that should be fix."

The figure had wide eyes " You mean there's a guy that looks like me out there and I'm....his shadow? An A.I.?"

" In a way yes. A fitting name, don't you think? Kite's shadow or better yet Shadow Kite. But it will not matter, in time you will be deleted like the rest of them." Harald said.

' Shadow Kite........I like the name.' " Fat changes buddy. What are you going to do? Nag me to death?" Shadow Kite said stubbornly.

" You could say that, trash. But in addition........"

Suddenly electricity struck Shadow Kite from inside the bubble. He screamed in pain and agony, he was powerless to do anything at the moment. " W-What.....do you think y-your d-doing?"

" I will torture you until you become to weak to resist your deletion. I will harm you mentally and physically. I will slowly break you like the others until you are no more. Abominations like you were never meant to exist in my Auras world." a stone descended, revealing his true self. Harald continue to speak " 'The World' shall be cleanse from your filths. Normal players cannot interact or find out what you are. I'll make sure of that."

" You FUCKER!" Shadow Kite roared at the stone.

" Curse what ever you want, your deletion is still imminent." with that the stone, known as Harald, floated away leaving a very angry A.I.

Time passed and every single day was the same. Harald would come insult him and torture him both physically and mentally. He was getting sick of it. Little did Harald know, Shadow K. had been growing stronger and was storing energy. Said A.I. barely notice because of the daily abuses. He even lost track of time, everything was a blur to him. A few minutes pass before, once again, Harald appeared.

" Well abomination, are you ready to be deleted yet?" he asked but receive nothing for an answer. " Yes I can feel your despair. A little more and you'll be gone like the rest." as he finish saying this electricity struck Shadow once again. He screamed in pain, in all truth he couldn't take this abuses for much longer. " That's it. Give up, by now you must know its hopeless. Do the world a favor and vanish. Disappeared and be forgotten like the rest."

Shadow's eyes open and glared at the stoned " I..." black flames were beginning to appeared around his body " Will...." the electricity that harmed him had now fuse with his flames " Not......" the energy bubble began to crack " DISAPPEARED!" he roared as energy were bursting from the cracks before it crumbled away. Shadow was free from his prison and glared dangerously at the stone in front of him. Without he knowing it, he summoned two black blades and slash the stoned in half.

" Thats.....not......possible." Harald said before he completely disappeared.

" I guess you were the one to disappeared and be forgotten." Shadow Kite said. He was glad to be free and be rid off such an nuisance. With nothing to do he started to float around the place. He stop in front of one of the empty bubble.

He could see his reflection nicely and notice he had black hair and the markings on his face were different, the biggest change he saw were his eyes. They were red. " Man. So I'm not Kite after all. Well this suck. Hey where's my hat?" he notice he had no hat on top of his hair. Then he looked at his body " Where are my cloths?!" he had no shirt nor baggy pants, he was completely naked. " Now this is just fucking great!" he shouted to no one before sighting " Well better go exploring then. Maye I'll find some way out of here or something." with that he continue his way.

He passed many bubble which were all empty. ' Damn that Harald! He's nothing but a monster to us.....or me.' he thought sadly. Many of his kind were gone if not all, all thanks to Harald perception of them. He kept roaming the endless darkness trying to find a way out, he didn't mind the dark but the emptiness and lack of some one to talk to was very unnerving. On his path to nowhere he felt something, like an energy signal but very weak. He pinpointed the direction on which it came and darted toward it. Soon he was able to see a bubble that was different from the rest, in the sense in which there was someone inside there. He quickly headed there.

Elk and Cubia were surprise, to say the least. Never in their dreams they would imagine something like this happening under their noses. Mia had patiently and quietly listen to Dark's tale and had to admit it was somewhat depressing.

" That being inside the bubble that Shadow headed to, that was you wasn't it?" Mia asked.

Dark nodded solemnly " Yeah."

" Then how did you knew the rest you just told us without you haven't there?" Elk asked curiously.

" Shadow told me himself." Dark replied.

Cubia was looking at the floor " So Shadow was born because of me and Kite? And he suffer all that because of me? I..." his words were cut off.

" Hey common! Shadow would thank you because of that. Thanks to you and mister grumpy he was able to exist. And thanks to that he was able to free me." Dark said reasoning with the other.

" Yeah, but still...........he suffer because of me! And here he is accepting the cause of his pain with arms wide open! It's........" once again he was cut off.

" You weren't the one beating and torturing him in there, now were you? Now shut up and listen to the rest of the story." .

Cubia did so still reluctant.

Shadow stood in front of the bubble inspecting the thing closely. Inside there was another boy, around his age or younger he guest. Like him he had black hair and he markings on his face were violet. He looked intently at him to see any sign of life. At first he thought he was done for, but soon the teen slowly open his eyes. He looked weak and tired all the same, he seemed to be having trouble saying something.

" h-help m-me." he said.

Shadow didn't wait for another request, like before he summoned one of his blades and slash the damn thing open. He surprisingly found it a lot easier. The other teen began to fall before Shadow grab him and became his support. He put one of his arms around his neck and one of his around the other waist. He was really uncomfortable doing so.

The other teen sighted " Thanks........I thought.......I was done for." he said regaining his breath.

" Um..Yeah, your welcome." Shadow replied.

The other teen started to eye him from top to bottom " Um......You do realize your naked, right?"

Shadow snorted " Says the guy wearing his birthday suit."

The other teen looked confused before he looked at himself " The Hell?! Why the hell am I naked?!"

" Welcome to my world" Shadow replied chuckling at the others antics.

" Ah men! This is so embarrassing." he said eying the other again " Thou you don't look bad at all." with a grin plasted on his face

" I'm going to ignore that. Now, how to get out of here?" Shadow said looking around.

" Don't know. I just got out of the damn thing. Although, how did you summoned those weapons?" the other teen asked.

Shadow shrugged " I just concentrated and they came to me." suddenly he got an idea. " Hey! If I can summoned my weapons by concentrating maybe I can get us out us this place! Hang on." Shadow told the other, who tighten his grip on him. Shadow concentrating in getting out and going to 'The World'. Black flames surrounded the two and they were gone from the place.

( Mac Anu)

The two suddenly appeared in a back alley away from the other players, which was fine with the two seeing they weren't wearing anything.

" Alright! Finally fresh air! I still wish I had something to wear thou. " the teen said.

" I wonder." Shadow once again concentrated and his body glowed for a brief moment before a flash of light blinded the other. The light soon died down and reveal a fully clothed PC. He had black pants and a pair of chains that hung from his belt and re connected to the back part. He had a white shirt and a black jacket on top of it. Shadow inspected himself " Now thats more like it." He touch his hair and notice his hat was still missing " Hey!" he concentrated again and a black version of Kite's hat materialize on his head, it had the tri-edge symbol on it like the ones on his cheeks. " Now thats better."

" Hey! How did you did that?!" The other teen asked.

" Just concentrate on what you want to wear." Shadow replied.

The other teen did so and immediately his body began to glow and cloths materialize right away. Like Shadow he had black pants and a white shirt that reach to his belly button, also a black version of Tsukasa's hat materialize on his head. He looked at himself and admire his work " Nice!"

Shadow raised a brow " You do realize you look gay, right?" he said trying to joke with the other.

The teen looked at him and blink " I am gay." he said.

" Oh.......sorry." Shadow said looking embarrass.

" It's ok." the teen replied. " Does it bother you?" he asked lowering his voice almost fearing the answer.

"No! Not at all!" the other sighted in relieve " Anyways, what's your name?"

" Well I was originally Tsukasa, that is until Harald told me I was like a Dark version of him. I guess you can call me Dark Tsukasa or Dark for short." Dark said.

" Same here. I was Kite but now I go by Shadow Kite, Shadow for short." Shadow replied.

" Well Shadow thanks for saving me back there!" then he looked unsure for a moment " So I guess we part ways now, huh?"

" I don't know. I guess. Well see ya." he said remorsefully, he felt alone again.

" Wait!" Shadow stopped and looked at Dark " Maybe.....Maybe we can go and travel....you know....together? Seeing as what we are and all." he said nervously. He too felt alone, even with the other Pc around he would still feel different around them.

Shadow smiled and nodded eagerly " Yeah! Sure come on lets start exploring!" he said with a grin.

" Yeah!" Dark said as he followed the other.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Azure Kite had listen to Shadow's tale with eyes wide. " How could you stand that?"

" How could I stand what?" Shadow replied.

" How could you stand that torture every day? Why haven't you gone mad? I thought what I gone through was bad, but this.....this wasn't fair ." A. Kite said feeling bad for the other.

" True. But that didn't meant I would let him win. So I chose to live. And let me tell you killing the bastard did help release some stress." Shadow replied.

" But then....why do you show such displeasure toward other players. By what I saw, it's like you hate them." A. Kite said curiously. Indeed he had watch Shadow K. for some time since he know of his existences every chance he got, and said little detail didn't go unnoticed.

Shadow growled " That's because I don't trust them as far as one could throw them. Their nothing but liars and deceivers waiting for one to show their trust to strike. Their all the same! Well...most of them anyways."

Azure K. looked at him curiously " What happen? Did they did something to you?"

" Not me. But to my friend." he sighted before he continue " It went like this....."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few weeks had passed. Shadow had trained Dark on the things he already knew and discover a few new powers along the way. Since they got out of the void and decided to socialize with people as well. Some of them treated them nicely while others ignored them or simply mock them. Shadow hated them for that but Dark reasoned with him that they were not worth it. So Dark decided to give him a treasure from a dungeon to cheer him up. The two got to a random field and headed straight for the dungeon. On their way the saw a female PC surrounded by many PC, she was begging for help.

" Come on! We gotta help her!" Shadow said. Some of Kite heroism was evident.

" Right!" Dark follow after.

The two jump between the female and the group of players and stood ready.

One of the players chuckle " Well what do you know, our trap work. We knew that you would appeared if a player was in danger you would pop up eventually, Kite. Now why don't you let us pk you."

" Pkers? Great!" Shadow K. said sarcastically.

" Pk us? Yeah right you and what army?" Dark smirked at them.

At that moment many PC appeared on the field. " This one, of course. You see your pretty powerful on your own so we rounded around a thousand PC who are itching to have a piece of you. Don't know how, but who cares?!"

Dark gulped " Oh."

" Dark, next time remind me to kick your ass." Shadow replied.

Another player chuckle " Their ain't gonna be a next time."

The Pker launched at the two with every weapon, spell, and skill know to the game. The two counter the attackers one by one. The two were faring very well but protecting the female PC was becoming a burden.

" Dark! Protect the girl! I'll handle them, you heal me when you can!" Shadow order while impaling another Pk.

" Right!" Dark got in front of the female Pc.

The female PC smirked " I don't think so."

Dark eyes widen and let out a painful scream. Shadow quickly turned around to look at the source of the noise, his eyes widen at what he saw. The female Pc had stab him on the back. He was pleading heavily and had a nasty wound. Shadow was stunned.

" See Kite. You shouldn't have brought your friend into this. Now it's your turn." she said smirking and placing a foot on Dark wound, making him whimper in agony before he went still.

The other Pkers were laughing and enjoy the show. They knew they were to many to actually get a turn in killing Kite, but the show they were seeing was worth it to them. However, their laughter came to a stop when 'Kite' started to chuckle. It sounded dark and evil, making the Pkers gulp in fear. When he raised his head the Pkers had taken a step back. Shadow had an evil smirk on his face and his eyes scream danger.

" You fuckers made two mistakes. One: you shouldn't have kill my friend, thats the biggest and only mistake you'll ever make. And two: make sure that you get your target right next time." Shadow said smirking evilly.

One of the Pkers gather the little courage he had to speak " W-What do you mean by getting our target right?"

Shadow looked at him and he nearly fell for it " I'm not Kite. Now your going to pay the price. Now you all die and to make sure I never see you again I'll send your conscious to the Dark Abyss and send you into a coma." he said darkly.

All Pkers faces paled " You can't do that!"

Shadow smiled at them, but it felt wrong " Oh, but I can and will."

Many tried to log out of the field only to discover they couldn't. " What's going on?! Why can't I leave?!"

" I simply block your exist. And some of you may have tried to get your goggles off but found yourself inside the game, I did that too. And once you die here you go to a coma." Shadow said now getting ready to strike.

" Thats not possible!" one scream in feared.

" It is." Shadow hissed and swung his blades sending an energy slash killing hundreds in its wake. Shadow summoned an black sphere in his palm and threw it into the sky. The sphere exploded into a rain of black fire balls, hitting the unsuspected Pkers. The players screamed in agony, the could actually feel the pain. The tables had turned, the hunters became the prey. Many bodies got burned in the fire shower while those who weren't hit were immediately disposed by shadows blades. Their numbers diminished quickly until only ten out of the thousands remain. The field was cover in blood and was some areas were still being burned by the black flames. The sky became red and an eerie warm wind blew. The field looked like a living hell. The ten remaining Pkers were scared beyond belief. In a mad attempt to stay alive one of them charged at Shadow. Said person smirked and doge the attack before impaling the attacker on the guts, the blade went right through him like it was paper. The other stared with wide eyes. Shadow turn to them and raised his arms and pointed at their direction. A ring suddenly appeared in his arms and extended revealing a black looking bracelet. Shadow simply said " Data Drain" and the bracelet activated sending a stream of data over the group. The attack hit Eight out of nine, the one remaining listen to the to the other while they screamed in pain before their bodies were disintegrated. Shadow look at the remaining surviver he gave the remaining Pc an insane smirk.

" Well, well, well. What a twist of irony this is." he said smirking.

The survivor was none other than the female Pc who impaled Dark. She looked terrified " Please! I'M sorry!" she began to sob uncontrollably. " I-I don't want to DIE!"

Shadow walk toward her and cup her face with his hand " Don't think of it as dieing......"

At that moment the female Pc eyes widen. She felt a liquid slidering down her neck. She saw Shadow's blades held up, and it had blood dripping from hit. She soon realized what happened. On her neck was a nasty gash, spilling blood. Shadow had slice her neck. She didn't feel a thing. " ..think of it as sleeping for a long time. However....." this time he impaled her where her heart was supposed to be.

She tried to scream but she couldn't. Shadow twisted the blade painfully slow. Her face was pure agony " ...I'm not going to give you a painless one." with a final twist he pulled the blade out and she collapse on the floor bleeding heavily. Shadow smirked insanely at his work before he realized what he done. He was stunned but didn't regret it.

" They deserve it." Shadow said looking at the bodies. A groan snap him out of his revere. Dark was struggling to get to him. " Dark! Your alive!" he felt relieve to see him.

" Yeah. A-A little help please?" he said with pain.

Shadow rush toward him and made him sit down. He placed his hand around the deep gash on the others back and concentrated on healing. Black light began to emit and the wound began to close and heal. Dark felt better now. " Thanks." he said not looking at the other " Why?"

" Why what?" Shadow replied.

" Why did you kill them like that?!" Dark asked clearly not pleased.

" They deserve it! All of the players do! Their just liers waiting for a chance to hurt us! I'm tired of this! I am sick and tire of them! We try to fit in but they won't let us. These people will never change. They can all Die for what I care!" he said while looking away from the other. He calmed down a little before continuing " If..if you don't want to be my friend anymore and leave....well you can...I won't hold it against you. I understand."

Dark looked at Shadow " Listen, I know we don't agree on this but that won't change our friendship. Your the only one I got in this world. You and I are like brothers. I won't leave you. Sure we'll get into more arguments but our friendship will still be there keeping us close. Besides I won't find anyone that could replace ya , so I might as well stick around. Ok, bro?"

Shadow looked at him with awe " Yeah. Brothers." he smiled at this.

" Just try to keep this from happening again." Dark said with a grin.

Shadow snorted " I won't make any promises." he smirked at the other.

They soon left the area while the bodies disappeared.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Two weeks had passed since the little incident on the field The outside world was sent into panic while CCORP dealt with investigators and reporters, all because of the incident. Shadow refused to let anyone near him and Dark, especially the later one. The two still hung around, with Shadow keeping an eye on his surroundings. Dark did most of the trades these days for the simple fact that Shadow scared the traders away or threaten them with a painful death. On one rare occasion Shadow had saved the sister of a young twinblade, who looked awfully familiar, from a white monster and a rouge A.I., but other than that he remain distant to other Pc or sneered at anyone who got too close for comfort. Later that day when the two were wandering the streets of Mac Anu, 'The World' was beginning to crash down do to a fire at the main computer, Dark suspected it may had something to do with a twinblade and his group they encounter earlier. The players were immediately kick out of the game leaving the computer programs and A.I. to their fate. Dark began to panic, if they got destroy here that would be it, they would be done for. Shadow mutter something about obnoxious young teal haired twinblades before he concentrated his power and open a rift that lead to the Internet. Dark was so stunned by this that Shadow had to drag him into the opening and away from the crashing world.

Some time passed and the two notice a new version of 'The World' was created and enter it without being notice. The two had gotten a lot of attention since the way they looked. Dark had gotten a long black jacket that reach to the heels of his shoes that was close from the neck to his mid section and the lower part open, as for Shadow was wearing a black cloak that hide the lower half of hos face and cover the entire body making him look mysterious and dangerous, which he was. The two ignored the stares and went exploring the different fields. They stumble on a floating fortress type of field, which it was rare in this new version but common in the other. They explored and dispose of the monster that inhabit the area rather easily. They soon stumble into an white room in the are, thats when they met her.

" Well look at what we have here, the two heroes have come back to finish what they started." said a female Pc wearing a black kimono with sleeves that extended a little lower from her hand. Her black long hair move gently like there was a soft breeze. And she had pink eyes.

Dark looked skeptical at the Pc " What are you talking about?". Shadow looked at her with caution but also with confusion.

" Are you not Kite and Tsukasa?" she asked, curiosity evident in her voice.

" Yes and no. We are their anti existences. The name is Dark Tsukasa and his name is Shadow Kite." Dark replied while Shadow grunted.

The Pc stared with amazement " Anti existences...As in true Anti Existences? I thought that Harald was keeping your kind lock away from his 'daughter's' world."

" He was until Shadow destroyed him" Dark replied with a shrug. Said A.I. kept quiet but ever alert.

" I see. The fool got what he deserve for all I cared. He should've know better than to underestimate you." the female Pc looked at the two " Oh, forgive me. I haven't introduce myself. My name is Morganna Mode Gone, Morganna to shorten it."

Now Shadow was more alert than ever he knew who this Pc was and so did Dark " What are you doing alive? I thought Kite finish you off in your fight with him." Shadow said.

" I was able to escape in the last second and hid myself in ' The World'. I won't hurt any player....." she was cut off by Shadow.

" I do not care for them. Their all the same and will never change!" he said gritting his teeth. Dark looked at him in worry.

Morganna looked at him before speaking " Then maybe we can help each other."

Shadow and Dark looked at her " What do you mean by that?"

" I alone have no power to do much, but with your help we'll be able to change this world. You see I too see this despicable acts and I do not agree with Aura giving this world in the hands of player. This world is in too much chaos and thus cannot be saved." she said.

" What do you plan to do about it?" Dark said.

" Using the eight treasure of the wave and the orb of new beginnings we shall destroy this world and create a new. Sparing only those who deserve it while the other will be cast away in the darkness, forever to be forgotten. While those chosen to be saved shall remain in our new world forever. Lend me your strength, be my knights, and help me restore order." she said to the two.

Dark was beginning to open his mouth to decline the offer but was cut off by another voice.

" Fine. We'll help you." Shadow said with a monotonous voice.

Dark looked stunned while Morganna looked pleased " Thank you. Together we'll succeed and create a better world. For now do as you please until I find a place for us to take our plans into action. Farewell for now." with that she disappeared from the area in search for a new one.

" Why the fuck did you accept?!" Dark shouted clearly not happy about it.

" What she said made sense to me. And I agree with her. Their not that many people who are kind and good hearted in here and I plan to save them from the other filth. And if destroying this world and casting the unworthy ones to oblivion then so be it." Shadow replied.

" But....." Dark began but was cut off.

" You don't have to stay if you don't want to. I understand." Shadow said as he kept his eyes closed.

Dark bit his lips before replying " Shadow.....remember that day. You told me the exact same thing. Now I'm replying the same thing. I won't leave you, like I said your like a brother to me. I don't agree with this but....I'll do it for you." he suddenly grin " Beside doing nothing is boring. So being a bad guy might be interesting! Don't you think?!"

Shadow looked at Dark and grin at him " You bet your sweet ass on it".

" Why Shadow I didn't know you like my ass." he said with a sly smirk.

' There he goes again with his perverted sense of humor' " Pev." he said while walking away.

Suddenly a thought pop in Dark's head " What....What would happen if Kite showed up and decided to stop you?"

Shadow stop and turned to look at the other " Let him try. I am more than capable of handling him or any other who stands in our way."

Dark sighted " Fine. Lets get out of here then."

The Twilight Knights and Shicksal were stunned to say the least. What they saw was not what they expected to see. The video ended and the silence still remained after it finish.

" Well thats all for now. Many pieces of the video are still hidden so until I crack this....thats all we got." Zelkova said breaking the silence.

" That was the most saddest tale I ever saw." Subaru said trying to hold back her tears.

" Not to mention we know who's really behind this." Ovan said.

" Morganna." Tsukasa snarled.

Zelkova sighted " Lest not be hasty she may be the one pulling the strings but Shadow and Dark are really the true concern here."

"Hm? I wonder? If Shadow Kite was born when the the bracelet was destroyed, then when did Dark becan to exist?" Pi asked. Everyone attention turned to Tsukasa.

Tsukasa looked at them before he replied " Well, I was Data Drain by one of Morgannas Guardians. Maybe he was born from that event."

" Most likely. But we still had to watch out. This Two had been long in this world so they know their ways around it." Zelkova added.

The group continue to discuss the matter and many had already left. Shugo on the other hand was frowning in thought. Haseo notice this and decided to ask " Hey buddy, whats on your mind?" This caught Rena and Tsukasa's attention.

" I know him" he said.

" Who?" Rena asked.

" Shadow Kite. I know him. He was the one that help me save Rena." Shugo replied.

The three of them were stunned " Shugo....I think you have him confused with someone else." Tsukasa said.

" But...." he tried to argue.

" Yeah. I don't see him as a hero type. Maybe you are confusing him with someone else. I mean he may have been a good guy then but know hes the bad guy." Haseo said.

The three left the the room leaving a depress Shugo behind.

" I know what I saw. Shadow was definitely the one that help me save Rena, and I'm going to prove it!" with that said he too left the area, determined to prove them wrong.

( New Moon Castle)

The trio had listen to the tale Dark had to offer and were now feeling bad for them.

" Man thats seriously whack! No wonder he's like that!" Cubia said.

" Yeah" Elk agreed.

" I tried to reason with him to give them a chance but......he just won't have it. " Dark said looking at the floor.

" I guess we'll follow this to the end. Who knows maybe someone will reach out to Shadow and make him reconsider things." Mia said while walking away.

" Hey Mia, wait up!" Elk said as he ran on to catch up to her.

" Yeah, who knows?" Dark replied.

The two then walk away in a different direction.

In another section of the castle a young Azure knight was letting the information slowly think in. Everything he heard seemed almost unbelievable.

" All that happened.........under our noses? I don't know what to say." A. Kite said unsure.

" You don't have to." Shadow said looking at him. " Now Azure. I want you to become one of us." he said seriously.

" W-What?! B-But......Aura needs me!" A. Kite said astound " I....can't betray her."

Shadow snorted " That doesn't seem to be the case here."

A. Kite frowned before he got an idea " You said you were here before me. So that makes you older than I am, thus knowing how Aura is. You have my memories as well as Kite. Hell we're the same! You know she isn't like that!"

Shadow frowned " I thought I did. But after what she told you....I don't know anymore." he and the young knight stood in silence " Further more the three of us may look alike but we are nothing alike especially Kite. You know to be true. Why don't you come with us?"

" I.......I......" A. Kite was at a lost. He didn't know what to do.

" Look. Why don't you think about it. Obviously you can't choose right now. But think real hard because this is a one chance opportunity." Shadow said seeing the other wasn't going anywhere anytime soon.

A. Kite looked at him " Y-Yeah.....ok."

" Very well then you may go. Once your made your choice meet me at that field you found me. You remember it don't you?" A. Kite nodded " Good."

A. Kite stood and left in his blue sphere out of the area. Shadow simply smirked and chuckle darkly " You don't know it Azure but you already are in our grasp. It's only a matter of time." he stood up and left.
