What will happen next?

Enjoy!

Nightshroud: The Beginning

Chapter 16

Back in the house, Wes, Rui, Cheren, N and Mewtwo are in the living room disscussing what had happened hours ago.

"So Cipher was using Ash to capture Kyurem." Mewtwo said. "Why am I not surprised?"

"Because Team Cipher was taking advantage of Ash and his power. You shared the same experience." Wes said.

"Look at us." N said. "Sitting around like bums."

"Like there's anything to cheer us up." Rui said. As soon as she said that, Wes was hit by a water balloon. Wes was surprised and wet. Rui and Cheren snickered. N just smiled.

Suddenly Michael came in laughing. "Aw man! I got you!" Wes glared at him angrily. "Dude. You should have seen your face!"

Wes smirked. "Hey guys! I just invented a new game! It's called 'Does Michael Bend That Way?'" Wes said cracking his knuckles. Michael started to run for his life screaming. Wes ran after him. "C'mere you!" Wes jumped onto Michael and started beating him up.

5 Days Later . . .

In his bedroom, Nightshroud opened his eyes wearingly. "What . . . happened?" He said while trying to sit up.

'Ash! You're awake!' Meloetta surprised Nightshroud by turning visible and hugged him.

'It's about time you woke up.' Pikachu said next to Nightshroud.

Latios and Latias dropped their invisibility startling Nightshroud. 'Good morning sleepyhead.' Latios said.

Latias charged and hugged Nightshroud. 'We were so worried about you!' Soon she and Meloetta parted the hug.

"How long was I out for?" Nightshroud asked.

'About 5 days.' Latios answered.

"What? How?" Nightshroud sat up to find bandages around his torso. "What the-" He then remembered that he got knocked out by a Electric attack.

Latias nodded. 'Right. Allison's Magnezone used a powerful Electric attack to shock you out.'

"Allison?" Nightshroud then remembered the event in Pyrite Town. "Kyurem!?"

'Captured.' Pikachu said. 'Team Cipher tricked us.'

Nightshroud grunted and looked down. "No." Suddenly Nightshroud's door opened. The group turned to see N and Mewtwo entering.

"Well. Looks like somebody's awake." N said.

"How are you feeling?" Mewtwo asked.

"Kinda lousy." Nightshroud answered.

"Sorry to hear that." N said.

Nightshroud removed the bandages to reveal his 3 pack abs making Latias and Meloetta blush. A sore mark appeared on his back.

"That sore may turn into a scar." Mewtwo said.

"What's the point?" Nightshroud said sadly. "Kyurem's been captured and the world will be in danger."

'Don't worry.' Latias said.

Latios nodded. 'Yeah. We'll set Kyurem, Reshiram and Zekrom free and save the world.'

"I mean what's the point of doing this?!" Nightshroud said. "Team Cipher will just use clever tactics again. Face it, they outsmarted us."

'They haven't won yet!' Pikachu said.

"Are you serious Pikachu! They're smarter than Team Rocket! They can set really well played traps!"

'I don't see the big deal! We took down lots of evil organizations before!'

"But we have never faced Team Cipher before!"

'Knock it off you two!' Latios yelled. 'Fighting won't get us nowhere!'

Nightshroud turned to Latios. "I'm just putting down the facts! Team Cipher now has the Tao Trio! They got them using clever traps! And one of them involved me!"

'It's not your fault!' Pikachu yelled. 'How could you have known that the Dark Power is connected to Kyurem?!'

Nightshroud turned to Pikachu. "How do you even know that Kyurem and I are connected?"

"I know." The group turned to see Rui at the door. "Glad to see you're awake. Anyways, I saw the connection between you and Kyurem."

"I saw it too." N said.

"I don't care." Nightshroud said. "The only reason why Team Cipher captured Kyurem is because of me and my Dark Power. And you guys got scared when I'm in that state. I lose control and become evil."

'We weren't scared.' Pikachu said.

'I was a little.' Meloetta said.

'I was certainly scared.' Latias said.

"I was freaked when you did it in front of me." N said.

"See what I mean?" Nightshroud said. "I get scary when the Dark Power controls me. In fact even I'm afraid."

"It doesn't matter." Rui said. "The power's a part of you. You can't change that. I don't think there's a way out."

"Actually. There is one thing." Nightshroud stood up. "Which is why I'm never gonna battle again."

"What!" Everybody exclaimed.

"If I don't battle then the Dark Power won't take hold. This is pretty simple."

"But Ash." N said. "You can't just quit battling. You love Pokemon Battles."

"I know, but with the Dark Power, I'd rather not battle again than to let it take over."

"But you have to battle eventually." Mewtwo said.

"No. Never again."

'Ash.' Latias said.

"It's no use trying to talk me out of it. It's my fault that Team Cipher captured Kyurem. I was so psyched about defeating Rick I didn't think ahead." Nightshroud sighed. "And I let the Dark Power take control. It became very scary to you guys. It'll never happen again as long as I don't battle."

"But Ash-" Meloetta began.

"My decision is final. And the name's Nightshroud."

"Are you sure?" Rui asked. Nightshroud said nothing. He just put his shirt and overcoat on.

"I think his mind's made up." N said. "I think we should leave him alone." N, Rui, Mewtwo, Meloetta, Latios and Latias, turning into humans first, and Pikachu left Nightshroud's room as he sat down in front of his desk.


Wes, Michael and Cheren got in the house with bags full of groceries and saw Rui, N, Mewtwo, Pikachu, Meloetta, Latios and Latias, in their dragon form, in the living room.

"Hey guys." Michael said.

"How's Ash?" Cheren asked.

"He's awake." Rui answered.

"That's great!" Michael said. "Lets go see him!"

"No." N said. "We should leave him alone."

"Why?" Wes asked.

"Put the groceries up first." Rui said responsibly.

"Okay." Wes, Michael and Cheren went into the kitchen and put some groceries in the fridge and the others into cabinets. They then went back into the living room. "Tell us what happened."

"Well . . ." Rui, N and Mewtwo told them what happened in Nightshroud's room.

"What!" Wes, Michael and Cheren exclaimed.

"He just quit battling!" Wes said.

N nodded. "Yes. He's afraid that the Dark Power will take over again and might cause more trouble. So he decided to stop battling."

"That's ridiculous!" Cheren said.

"Although it might be true." Michael said.

"May be!" Wes said. "But that doesn't mean he can just quit! The whole world's at stake!"

"I know." N said.

"Can't we just save the world ourselves?" Cheren said.

"I have a feeling that saving the world won't be the same without Ash." Mewtwo said.

N nodded. "True. Ash has saved the world lots of times. Saving the world won't matter when Ash isn't here to save it."

"He's a part of this group." Cheren said. "He has to get involved."

"But how?" Rui asked. "How can we get him back?"

An idea popped into Wes's head. "I can battle him."

"How can a battle help him?" Cheren asked.

"I can try to get his hopes back up. And I have the perfect Pokemon to do it."

"Yeah, but how are you gonna have him agree to battle you?" Michael asked.

"Are you kidding? If there's something I'm good at, it's to convince people." Wes walked at the entrance to wait for Nightshroud.

'I hope he doesn't do anything too harsh.' Latias said.

'I wonder what Wes has in store.' Latios said.

An hour later . . .

Nightshroud got out of his room and walked in the hallway when he saw Wes standing at the entrance of the living room.

"Hey Ash." Wes said. "Glad to see you're okay."

"Yeah." Nightshroud sighed.

"You know. The others told me, Michael and Cheren that you are down in the dumps lately."

"So what?"

"So I thought we could have a battle in an attempt to cheer you up."

"And I told them that I'm not battling anymore."

"Sorry pal, but it's not a choice. You and I are gonna battle."

"I told you. No chance." Nightshroud turned to walk away.

"Well we tried." Michael said.

"Wait." Wes said. "You can't just quit battling because of some power."

"It's the Dark Power." Nightshroud said. "I can't control it. If this continues, I'll eventually hurt you guys."

"We won't get hurt." N said.

"You're only saying that to cheer me up. It's not working."

"Listen Ash." Wes said. "You may have a dangerous power, but you're important to this team. Actually, you are very important. Important to me, Rui, Michael, N, Cheren and your Pokemon. Without you we're nothing. And the world will be in danger."

"You and Michael are the heroes of Orre. You don't need me."

"Yes we do. We're connected. You, me, Michael and N. We're the Legendary Trainers. We share the same destiny. You can't avoid that. It's not your decision to quit battling."

Nightshroud turned to Wes. "It is now. If I continue to battle and face Team Cipher, I might be a burden because I might get out of control with the Dark Power and will put you guys in serious danger."

"What kind of talk is that!?"

"Sorry Wes. I just can't."

Wes was ticked and angry. "That's it!" He then punched Nightshroud in the face to knock him on the floor much to everyone's shock. "You needed to get some sense knocked into you. Now get up! Get up and punch me back!"

"Wes!" Rui said.

"I said 'get up'!" Nightshroud struggled to stand up. "Don't tell me that you can't even get up from one little punch!" Nightshroud managed to stand. "Good! Now punch me in the face! Hard enough to knock me onto the ground like I did to you!" Nightshroud wiped the blood off his face and punched Wes in the face. Wes stumbled back. "Not hard enough!"

"I don't want to hurt you badly." Nightshroud said.

"Look. I know what you're going through, but you can't keep running from it. The past is the past. You gotta put it behind you and move on in the present and focus on the future."

"I know, but-"

"Battling me will help you get back on the road. It's time for you to get your hope back."

"Well . . ." Somehow Michael appeared next to Nightshroud.

"In this case you might want to accept this challenge." Michael whispered. "Wes can be stubborn when he is like this."

"I heard that!" Wes yelled.

"Uh . . . you didn't hear it from me." Michael then went back to the others.

"Idiot." Wes whispered to himself. "So. What's it gonna be Ash?"

Nightshroud sighed. "Okay. I accept your challenge."

Wes smirked. "Perfect."

"But lets do it outback." Nightshroud walked to the kitchen with Wes following suit.

'Well that looked like it worked.' Latios said.

Mewtwo nodded. "I hope Ash can manage."

"He will." N said.

"Come on!" Michael said. "What are we waiting for?!" The others then followed Nightshroud and Wes outback.


The group was found in their backyard with Ash and Wes opposit'e of each other.

"Remember when we last battled Ash?" Wes asked. "That battle ended in a draw. This time I will win."

"Yeah yeah yeah." Nightshroud said. "Lets just get it over with." 'Wes is a tough opponent, but I need to find a way to end this battle quick.' He thought.

"Remember. This battle is just to get your hopes back." Wes took out a Pokeball. "And this is the Pokemon to do it. Lets go!" He threw the ball in the air. The ball opened making a bright light came out. The light took form of, to mostly everyone's shock, Ho-Oh.

"Ho-Oh!" Everybody but Rui exclaimed.

'This may be difficult.' Nightshroud thought.

'This may be trouble for Ash!' Latias said.

"Which Pokemon are you gonna be battling with?" Wes asked.

'There's only one way to match a Legendary.' Nightshroud thought. He turned to the others. "Lets do this Mewtwo!"

Mewtwo smirked. "About time I get to battle." He floated towards the field.

"Ho-Oh." N said. "What a beautiful Pokemon." He looked at Mewtwo. "Mewtwo. I don't know much about it's power, but I do know that it was created by man. Just like the Genesect Army that were modified by Team Plasma."

"Ready to get this battle underway?!" Wes yelled.

"Yeah. Whatever." Nightshroud said.

"Wow. You really need this battle."

"I just hope Wes won't go too hard." Rui said.

"Come on." Michael said. "It's Wes we're talking about."

"That is true."

"Lets get started." Wes said. "Use Sunny Day!" Ho-Oh released a powerful ray of sunlight.

"Sunny Day." Nightshroud said. "Stay sharp Mewtwo!" Mewtwo nodded.

"Fire Blast!" Ho-Oh released a powerful blast of fire that turned into a star-shape.

"Gotta end this quick. Use Psychic!" Mewtwo's eyes glowed and moved it's hand in front. The attack stopped the Fire Blast and broke it apart. "Shadow Ball!" Mewtwo put its hands together to form a black ball of energy and threw it at Ho-Oh.

"Fire Blast!" Ho-Oh fired the star-shaped fire and destroyed the ball. The attack then headed straight to Mewtwo.

"Dodge it!" Mewtwo ascended, avoiding the attack.

"Sacred Fire!" Ho-Oh released a gold-rose-colored flame from its beak.

"Stop it with Psy-"

'Yes. That's right.' A voice said in Nightshroud's head. 'Attack. Get close to the darkness.'

"What-" Before Nightshroud knew it, Mewtwo got hit by Ho-Oh's attack. Mewtwo fell to the ground. "Are you okay Mewtwo?"

Mewtwo struggled a little to get up after that powerful attack. "Forget about me." He turned to Nightshroud. "What happened? Why didn't you call an attack?"

Nightshroud shook his head. "It's nothing. Lets just get back up."

"If you're done talking, lets get this battle underway." Wes said. "Sky Attack!" Ho-Oh glowed white and started to dash at Mewtwo.

"This time there will be no interuptions. Use-"

'That's right! Attack and become darkness! Let the Dark Power take hold!' The voice interrupted again.

"No."

"Ash." Mewtwo said before Ho-Oh rammed into him.

'What's going on?' Pikachu asked. 'Why is Ash just standing there?'

"What the hell is going on with you Ash!?" Wes yelled.

"I just got a little distracted, that's all." Nightshroud said as Mewtwo got up. The bright light began to die down. "And it looks like your Sunny Day has powered down. Now's our chance. Use Shadow Ball!" Mewtwo put its hands together to created the black ball of energy.

"Counter it with Sunny Day!" Ho-Oh released another powerful ray of light. Mewtwo got blinded by the bright light making his aim off when he threw the Shadow Ball making the attack miss.

"Oh no!" Nightshroud exclaimed.

"Fire Blast!" Ho-Oh fired the star-shaped fire attack.

"Get away Mewtwo!" Mewtwo struggled to open his eyes from the blinding light. Before he can fully open his eyes, the Fire Blast hit him, engulfing him. Mewtwo was then sent to the ground.

"What the heck is wrong with Ash?" Michael asked.

"I don't know." Rui said. "It's almost like . . . he's holding back."

"I honestly don't know what you two are talking about." Nightshroud countered. "Wes is just too good."

"C'mon Ash!" Wes said. "We all know you're better than that. And we know you wouldn't make a rookie mistake as using Shadow Ball while Ho-Oh is using Sunny Day."

Nightshroud sighed. "Okay. I guess I am holding back. I want to finish this battle quick, but I'm afraid if I use all my power, the Dark Power might control me."

"It doesn't matter! You can't face Team Cipher and rescue Zekrom looking like that!"

"But-"

"No 'buts!' Listen. This battle is to just get your hopes back. The Pokemon Ho-Oh is a symbol of hope. That's why I'm using Ho-Oh for this battle."

"I know. But-"

"I said 'No buts!' After you activated the Dark Power years ago, didn't you see a Ho-Oh and got hope again?"

"Well . . . yeah."

"Can't you get that hope back in this battle? The world needs you. We all need you. The team needs you." Wes then sighed. "I can't believe I'm saying this, but . . . I need you."

". . . Wes." Nightshroud saw a bright light in his head. 'What is this warm feeling?' Nightshroud wondered. 'Is this the light of hope? It is. I know. I felt this warm feeling in my heart when I had a mental breakdown after my battle with Tony.' He then smiled. 'I am suddenly . . . hopeful again. Wes is right. I can't just quit battling after being used because of some power.' He opened his eyes still smiling. "You're right! I am a Legendary Trainer! Battling is my destiny! It is my life! I can't just give up after one incident! You helped me see that! See the light! So lets do this Wes! This time there will be no holding back! I'm gonna give it my all!"

Everybody smiled. "Now that's the Ash we know." N said.

"Yeah!" Michael said. "Forget about being careful! Just have fun battling!"

'Ash is back!' Latias said.

'And this time he looks serious.' Latios said.

'Ash always takes battles seriously.' Pikachu said.

"Finally. I get to battle the real you." Wes said.

"Glad to have you back Ash." Mewtwo said.

"Glad to be back." Nightshroud said. "Alright. We are clearly at a disadvantage right now, but we can turn this around." He rolled up his left sleeve to reveal a dark gray wrist band with a rainbow colored orb that has a leaf shape in the middle.

"What is that?" Wes asked.

"You'll see." Nightshroud pressed the orb and it started to glow. "Lets go Mewtwo! Mega Evolution!"

Everyone else but Pikachu were shocked. "Mega what?!"

Mewtwo smirked. "I've been waiting for this since the beginning of the battle." Mewtwo put his hands together on his chest and began to be engulfed by a light blue aura. Everyone but Nightshroud and Pikachu watched in awe. The big, powerful aura dispersed to see that Mewtwo changed drastically. He had no tail, head got longer. His eye color changed to red. His feet and hands changed colors as well, to light purple.

"Whoa." Wes said amazed.

"Amazing!" Michael said.

"Everybody. Say hello to Mega Mewtwo Y." Nightshroud said. "What does it feel like witnessing Mega Evolution?"

"What's Mega Evolution?" Michael asked.

"A very powerful form of evolution. This kind of power exceeds the power of normal evolution."

"Really?"

Nightshroud nodded. "It's like this. When a Pokémon has reached its final-evolved form, using Mega Evolution will exceed that Pokémon's original power."

"Amazing!"

Cheren nodded. "Fascinating. Out of all the research I did, I never read on anything about Mega Evolution."

"That's because the power of Mega Evolution is only resided in the region of Kalos." Nightshroud said.

"Kalos!?" Wes exclaimed.

Nightshroud nodded. "Plus, not all Pokémon can do Mega Evolution. Only some powerful Pokémon have the ability to do Mega Evolution. I have some Pokémon that can do Mega Evolution, like Mewtwo here."

"So if Mewtwo can use Mega Evolution, then that must mean . . ." Michael began.

Nightshroud shook his head. "Don't think that some Legendary Pokémon can use Mega Evolution." Everybody turned to him confused. "Out of all the Legendaries, Mewtwo is the only one that can use Mega Evolution."

"No way! Is that true!?"

Nightshroud nodded. "Afraid so."

"An Evolution that makes the Pokémon power excell more than normal Evolution." N said.

"However using Mega Evolution won't keep the Pokémon in their forms permanently." Everyone looked at Nightshroud confused. "Using this power is only temporary. Mewtwo will stay in this form until the battle is over."

"That's kind-of a bummer." Michael said.

'A temporary Evolution?' Latias asked. 'That's not fair.'

'I think it's for the best.' Latios said. 'This power is probably too powerful enough to be permanent.'

Nightshroud nodded. "It is. And Mewtwo used Mega Evolution to battle the Genesect Army."

"Genesect Army!?" Wes said.

"I guess I didn't tell you every one of my journeys if you're so surprised."

"Genesect Army?" Michael said confused.

"An army created by an evil group from the Unova region called Team Plasma." N said. "It consists of four normal Genesect with a shiny Genesect for a leader. Genesect lived millions of years ago. Team Plasma revived those five from fossils and equipped each of them with a cannon that can hold any Drive they hold."

"What are Drives?" Rui asked.

"Drives are 4 items that can be equipped to the cannons on the Genesect backs to change the type of Techno Blast, Genesect's signature move."

"Wait." Micheal said. "If there are 4 Drives and the army consists 5 Genesect, how can this matter resolve?"

"Because the shiny Genesect, the leader of the army, doesn't need one. The army leader is the most powerful in the Genesect Army. It would make sense not give it a Drive."

Nightshroud nodded. "Right. Mewtwo used this new form to battle the army, which gave him an advantage. Now that advantage is in our favor."

"If this new Mewtwo is as powerful as you say then we better watch out." Wes said.

"Ready to keep battling Mewtwo?"

Mewtwo nodded. "Lets do this."

Nightshroud smirked. "Then use Shadow Ball!" Mewtwo put its hands together and created the black ball and threw it.

"Fire Blast!" Ho-Oh fired the star-shaped fire attack. The attacks collided to create an explosion. "Sacred Fire!" Ho-Oh fired the gold-rose-colored flame.

"Hyper Beam!" Mewtwo fired an orange beam from its right hand. The attacks created another explosion.

"Now's our chance." Wes said. "Sky Attack!" Ho-Oh glowed white and charged to Mewtwo. The attack made contact, but Mewtwo only stumbled back a bit. "No way!"

"Lets do this Mewtwo!" Nightshroud said. "Use Psystrike!"

Mewtwo smirked. "You got it."

"Psystrike?" Wes said confused. Mewtwo surrounded himself with psychic waves and charged. While he charged, some of the waves exited the aura and hit Ho-Oh. Mewtwo then rammed into Ho-Oh, pushing it back.

"What's Psystrike?" Michael asked.

"Psystrike was introduced as Mewtwo's signature move." N answered.

"Like it?" Nightshroud asked mockingly. "Mewtwo also used this move on the Genesect Army."

Wes smirked. "You're pretty good. You're a comeback so far, but now it's time to finsih this. Use Sacred Fire!" Ho-Oh fired its signature move once more.

"I couldn't agree more." Nightshroud said. "Hyper Beam!" Mewtwo fired the orange beam from the right hand. The attacks collided. Instead of an explosion, the Hyper Beam pushed Sacred Fire back, canceling the attack. The Hyper Beam hit Ho-Oh making dark dust to appear around it.

"Ho-Oh!" Ho-Oh fell to the ground. The dust cleared to reveal Ho-Oh on the ground with swirls in the eyes. Wes was shocked. "No way."

Nightshroud got confused. "Did we . . . win?" Mewtwo turned to him smiling. Nightshroud smiled as well. "We won!"

"I can't believe it! Wes lost!" Michael exclaimed.

"Incredible." Cheren said.

"Wes." Rui said.

'Yay! Ash did it! He won!' Meloetta said.

'I believe he just defeated the toughest Trainer in Orre.' Latios said.

'Does that mean Ash is number 1 now?' Latias asked excitedly.

Latios shook his head. 'We don't know for sure.'

'He just defeated the number 1 Trainer in Orre.' Pikachu said. 'That totally means that Ash is number 1 now.'

"I lost." Wes said. He smiled sadly and took out a Pokeball. "You did great Ho-Oh. You deserved a good rest." Ho-Oh was sucked into the Pokeball.

"We did it Mewtwo!" Nightshroud said.

Mewtwo nodded. "Yes we did." He then was engulfed into the blue aura again to revert back to his original form.

Nightshroud nodded. "Yeah." He then saw Wes walking up to him. "Wes."

Wes sighed. "Congratulations. You beat me." He congratulated sadly.

Nightshroud frowned and smiled again. "Don't be sad. This battle was victory for you too." Wes looked at him confused. "Remember? This battle was just to help me."

Wes smiled. "Yeah. You're right."

Nightshroud nodded. "Thank you. Thanks to you I managed to push the Dark Power back for now. It'll be back. I know it."

"And if it does, we'll be ready to save you."

"Thanks."

"Hey!" The trio turned to see the others coming towards them. "Great battle you guys!" Michael said.

"I know." Nightshroud said as Pikachu got on his shoulder.

"And your prize for defeating me is getting the title 'Toughest Trainer in Orre'." Wes said jokingly.

"It would be cool if my Pokémon can do Mega Evolution." Michael said.

"Yeah. About that." Everybody looked at Nightshroud confused. "To perform Mega Evolution, a Pokémon needs to hold a special stone called Mega Stone."

"Mega Stone?" N asked confused.

"Mega Stones are one the items needed for the Pokémon to Mega Evolve. Once the appropriate stone is held-" Nightshroud raised his left wrist to show the wrist-band like item. "-I have to press the Key Stone on my Mega Ring to activate it. That'll make the Mega Stone to react and Mega Evolve the Pokémon."

"Oh. I see." Cheren said.

"Because not many people know about it, there are only a few selected Trainers that have Mega Rings and use Mega Evolution. And I got the last one, so you won't be able to use it."

"What! No way!" Michael exclaimed.

"Sorry guys."

"It's cool." Wes said. "At least we know something new to the world. And that is a prize for the rest of us."

"Oh! Speaking of which!" Michael went into his pocket to get something.

"What is it Michael?" Nightshroud asked.

Michael got his hand out of the pocket. "Your prize for winning the Pyrite Tournament. The manager told me to give it to you when you felt better." He opened his hand to reveal a Pokeball with a purple top with an 'M' insigma with a white bottom.

"It's the Master Ball!" N exclaimed.

"The most powerful Pokeball in the world." Nightshroud said. "That was the prize?"

"Yep." Michael nodded.

Nightshroud took the Master Ball from Michael's hand. "I'll keep it, but I'm gonna use it for an emergency." He put the ball in his pocket. "Now that I'm not a sour puss anymore, what's say to you that we come up with a plan to ambush Team Cipher and rescue the Tao Trio?"

"Yeah! Lets do it!" Michael said. Everybody else nodded.

"Oh yeah. One more thing Wes."

"What?" Wes asked. Out of sudden Nightshroud punched him in the face, knocking him down to the ground. "What was that for?!"

"That hard enough for ya?" Nightshroud asked rubbing his knuckle.

"No fair! You caught me off guard!"

"You caught me off guard when you punched me. So we're even."

Wes smiled and laughed. "I guess you're right. Glad to have you back Nightshroud."

Nightshroud smiled. "Ash." Everybody looked at him confused. "You guys can call me Ash."

And done!

What do you think's gonna happen next?

Like it? Love it?
