A/N: Hope you guys enjoy, this chapter was pretty fun to write. (Also midnightfluff and I came up with this Omake concept long ago and have been waiting forever for the right chapter to use it on.)
"I see the rumors that your shadow's sarcasm has worn off on you are true. Your immaturity hasn't changed a bit either."
"As if that shadow could change me."
"Uh huh. So where is your shadow anyway? Shouldn't it be...you know...following you around or something?"
"He doesn't know I'm here, he's off doing...shadow things."
"How does he not know you're here? Isn't he the source of your magic? Shouldn't you using it let him know where you are?"
"I made sure a long time ago that he would stop paying attention to my use of his magic.
A few years ago
Ah, I can feel the use of my magic. I wonder what horrible deeds my new host is committing with it. Let's go figure it out, maybe we will share an evil laugh or two together.
The shadow manifested itself in the corner of the room. As the shadow walked into the room it noticed that Zed crouching on the ground.
Oooooo, did he kill someone?
As the shadow approached Zed stood up and turned around. Though instead of the blades that Zed was expecting he was wearing mittens instead, and instead of blood there was a tray of baked goods in his hand.
"What...is that?"
"Oh, I almost forgot about my cookies so I used a shadow portal to grab some mittens and get them out of the oven so they wouldn't burn. Don't they look delicious!"
"Argh….this is thousand year old dark magic. It is supposed to be used for evil, not baking cookies."
"Seemed to work out pretty well for me...And they are scones!
The shadow stood in the corner of the room as Zed was listening to one of his subordinates prattle on about some problem that the order was facing. The shadow wasn't quite sure, he lost interest long ago. Suddenly Zed summoned a portal to his side and stuck his arm into, the subordinate stumbled a bit, but otherwise continued.
Mhm, where is it going to open up at. Will it be under the subordinates feet? Is he going grab him from behind? What's he going to do?
The shadow got his answer a few moments later when the portal opened up behind Zed. The shadow tilted his head slightly in confusion. His confusion quickly turned to disappointment when Zed's arm reached out of the portal and….scratched what appeared to be an itch on Zed's back.
Ugh….of all the people that I could get stuck with. It has to be THIS guy who has a million and one ways to misuse my powers.
"Hear me out, I've got a great idea for an evil plan to take over the world."
"No." Zed said as he walked out of his bathroom and into his bedroom, wearing nothing but a bathrobe around his waist.
"What do you mean 'no'?"
"I don't have any interest in taking over the world right now. I just want to lead a simple life as a professional ninja slash baker."
"What is wrong with you? I thought you wanted more power to take over Ionia or something?"
"No, I just wanted to beat Shen. I did that so I am content for now."
"Then why did you open the box!?"
"I said I wanted to beat Shen, and I did that." Zed said as he walked over to his closet and opened up a shadow portal on the door. Zed walked through the shadow portal and emerged a moment later with two outfits. "Do you think I should wear my standard red outfit or my shiny new white one? I like the nostalgia that the red one brings, but the white one really highlights my well toned abs, trimmed waist, and well defined glutes of steel."
"Ugh…...did you really just use a portal to walk through a FREAKING door. Not even a locked door either! Just your closet door."
"Yeah, why?"
"Arghhhh! You humans are so so I don't even have words! I don't know how long I am going to be able to put up with this. How long do you humans live, 50 years?"
"Ehh, typically about 80 to 100."
"Oh god it's longer than I thought!"
"And that is how I stopped the shadow from keeping tabs on me." Zed said proudly while shaking his head in agreement with himself.
Shen clapped his hands slowly. "Good work, you managed to make an ancient evil being insane. I really hope that doesn't have any sort of negative consequences."
