Heloooo. Has anyone been waiting for this? Cause, if you have here it is and if you haven't, it's here anyway's. Hope you enjoy and feel free to comment on my stories or how my writing is, I'd be thankful for the constructive criticism.
Gun in hand and ready to fight at any cost, I followed Party's lead and got out of my hiding place. We were all fighting, and as a team even! This was really good, almost all of our enemies were defeated. Though, that is my problem. With all of them nearly gone, how was I gonna pretend to die? I needed an opening, soon. I know I can't ignore what my brother's spirit said. It would be stupid not to head his warning. How much longer will this last? I need to get this over with already! Time is ticking! I need to hurry.
Now, the perfect moment and conditions! This has to work! In the right corner, near some dulled lamps, the ceiling was crumbled. It would work, and this is how:
Materials for the world's probably stupidest plan:
A near death wish from me.
(1) Ray gun.
(1 or more) Draculoid
(crumbling) Ceiling
(1) Big piece of glass.
(obviously) Me.
Proceeding ways:
1) Me and Drac(s) get just below the crumbling ceiling. (I'm the one with the near death wish for actually trying out this crazed and idiotically made plan). Me has to be holding the piece of glass in hands but, it must be hidden from the Dracs.
2) Provoke the Dracs to shoot at you. Insults and verbal aggression against their industry has been proven to work better than other options. If necessary, shoot at them for them to take the bait and fire back.
3) Repeat procedure number two if necessary as many times as needed.
Note: Dracs range from being air-heads to headstrong. Depending on which one you're dealing with, you will may need to repeat this many or little times.
4) Before the ray that the Drac has aimed and fired, reach for the glass and hold it up as a shield. Make sure that the ray doesn't hit the Draculoid, but rather the roof, making it come down on you. There is only one shot so use it wisely.
5) As the ceiling's rubble comes down on you, use the Dracs as a shield. This will protect Me from any sharp objects.
Note: be careful. Some Dracs may be heavy, so hold your breath if anything.
6) Wait for the room to be cleared and everyone to leave. Pray that Lawbreaker makes them go soon.
Finally, uncover yourself and go to the old hideout. Me's brother's spirit should be there waiting. If not, wait and while that happens, start finishing off any of the undone projects.
While Shadow got her little act going on, the other killjoys were also fighting. They were so concentrated in fact, that they didn't take notice of their surroundings. If they had taken more care, they would've noticed Korse fleeing the scene silently. 'When will this little shadow do her trick? Time's running out!' Lawbreaker thought to herself. This was annoying. Why did Shadow have to be so much like one at times like this?
If her prayers were to be answered, it better be now. The Dracs and Korse were gone or destroyed. Not one of them remained. "We did it! Phantom get out of the shadows and come out!" Missile Kid called. Silence. More silence. They looked at each other. "Phantom Shadow, where are you?" Kobra asked, but once again, silence replied. "Hey, you owe us an explanation! You promised, so come and get this over with." who else apart from Party Poison could say that? More of the eerie silence was served in their faces.
Worry stretched in their minds and faces. Where was she now? Taking different ways, they went in search for their new friend. Could Korse have taken her with him when he left? It could be, though it wasn't very likely. Why would he anyway? Could he have killed her? That sounded more possible, yet, they knew that he liked to gloat, so he wouldn't let her death by him go unnoticed, unless, he had an even better plan in his twisted mind.
Missile was the first one to take notice of the pile of rubble heaped on the far right corner of the room. "Hey guys, you might wanna check this out." the others soon approached her and noticed at what she was referring to. "When exactly did the ceiling fall? Cause, I didn't notice." Jet-Star asked. A small ghost of a smirk came on Lawbreaker's face. 'So she did pull the move, huh? And no one knew until now. You're more of a phantom than I thought.' Law thought with a small laugh in her mind. She headed over to the heap and brushed some of the rubble out.
To her surprise, she found her cousin's bloodied hand. "Oh, god! No!" she took Shadow's hand in hers and felt for a pulse. Nothing. She looked at the others. Worry. Anxiety. Misery. Sorrow. Hurt. Pain. Mostly pain. Her eyes showed no more than that. 'This isn't happening! This is just part of her plan as it always was! It's a joke, just her plan!' thoughts like these continued to eat away at her mind.
"I don't like that look. It isn't good if you're looking at us that way." Said Kobra. "Is she really..?" Missile couldn't dare finish the sentence, afraid that it might be true. "Phantom Shadow is now only a phantom in our lives." Lawbreaker confirmed them. Tears of pain and sadness flowed down her cheeks as small sobs left her lips. How could she loose the last person that she had? Phantom always made sure to keep an eye on her, why hadn't she returned the favor? It all had been a terrible act that became real. This was Phantom Shadow's most death defying and sadly, her last plan.
Lawbreaker was alone now. Thunderbolt, her father, was dead. Atomic Spider, her mother. Dead. Other relatives like Lightningbolt, her uncle from dad's side of the family, gone to the grave with his wife, Illuminated Shadow, by the hands of Korse. Desert Bandit, her older cousin, dead too. And now, Phantom Shadow is dead as well. Seems like a family curse. Even her friends were dead. Revolution Invader, a spunky seventeen year old boy and Tombstone, her beloved boyfriend and future husband, was dead. She felt like dying herself. In fact, why didn't she?
A gentle touch on her shoulder brought her back to the real world. Fun Ghoul had his hands stretched out for her, an invitation to move on. Lawbreaker knew then, she wouldn't let herself be killed. She still had to stop Korse and take revenge. That is what the killjoys are for. "You may stay with us from now on." said Party, "If you want to that is." he didn't want to make himself sound imposing over the broken woman. Lawbreaker took Fun Ghoul's hand and stood up. "Sure thing. I'm gonna need your help in beating Korse's ass. That's what my family started, they aren't here anymore so I'm going to have to finish it; and to do that, I'll need your help." her tone was improving in confidence, although she was shattered inside.
As a last good-bye before leaving, she placed her pitch black sunglasses in her cousin's hand. Together, the killjoys rose to the first floor and left, but only after Lawbreaker whispered her final fare well, "See you in another life, Phantom." her whisper spread across the silent room, filling the air with one last promise.
Done with this chapter! sorry it had to be sad, tragic even. Anyway, for the next chapter we will go back in time to when things were slightly better. Hope you liked it. Leave a review! : D :P
