Chapter V: Enter Shadow…
“Everything was stolen from me…everything…”
The mist cleared slowly revealing a white-haired humanoid creature bearing a pair of large black and violet dragon-like wings…
Rose: (whispering)
Wh- what is that?!
Rufus:
……….!!!
Rufus took a step forwards to take a closer look while he kept the shotgun trained on the winged being… Suddenly, the creature raised its head… on seeing this, Rufus jumped back in horror…
Rufus and Rose:
AAAAAAH!!!
Indeed it was a shocking sight… the creature looked exactly like Xion!!!
????:
I must thank you for releasing me, human.
Rufus: (Still shocked)
Who are you?!
????:
I am Shadow, the one and only ultimate life-form.
Rufus:
What are you doing here?! How did you get in?!
Shadow:
Get in?! I was born here, in this very room, and I’ve been here ever since…
Rose:
Huh?!
Shadow:
Yes, I’ve been violently experimented on for 19 long years, and in the end, Dr. Hojo locked me up in this incubator.
Rufus:
My father..?!
Shadow:
Ah, then you must be little Rufus… He used to talk about you a lot… I believe you had turned 6 by the time he sealed me away…
Rufus:
Wait, are you telling me that you’ve been frozen for 19 years?! But why?!
Shadow:
Why? You ask? Allow me to demonstrate…
Shadows eyes shined in crimson red as he gave a wicked smile… Rufus aimed the shotgun at Shadow and he fired a round at him… to his surprise, the bullets diverted from Shadow as if there was an invisible barrier around him…
Shadow:
A waste of metal, my dear… And I suppose it’s about time I had my revenge!
Rufus:
Rose! Run!
Rufus and Rose raced towards the shutter and up the old corridor as fast as they could while Shadow’s wicked laugh of pure evil echoed in the distance…
