Sally R. Tudor had continued to watch as the Dragons of energy and shadow creatures fought, she was recording and reporting the entire thing and soon she saw a car drive up with a strange looking woman. ’That must be one of the Teen Titans. Hoped Sally as she watched a group of men walk out of the car and thank Rachel before walking inside armed. Sally smiled in glee knowing that the group of armed men meant safety as soon as she saw the Gold corp. Insignia and noticed that they were wearing occasional Gold Corp Uniforms. At least, it felt like such until she noticed the last man. She continued to report but after looking at that last man she felt a cold chill up her spine. She remembered him from somewhere but could not place her finger on it.
After a while Sally stopped reporting and noticed the men where now in the same room as her. The large windowed hallway was crowded with people so she could sneak by easily if needed though the facts remain. They were here and looking for something, and more than likely she was that something, after all she was the daughter of an important man after all. Slowly the girl backed up and knew that there was a side stair way nearby. “I see her.” Said one of the gold corp uniformed men walking as he tried to point at her without her noticing. Looking around she noticed she was trapped after another two gold corp uniformed men came out from the other side of the hallway. Looking around she had only one option. “EVERYONE RUN!!! I SEE THEM, THEY’RE COMING!!! THEY’RE ALREADY INSIDE THE BUILDING RUN!!! THERE IS A TEEN TITAN UP TOP, SHE’LL PROTECT US!” Yelled Sally in a panicked voice. Soon everyone in the hallway looked around and noticed that the Dragons were no longer protecting the building at the time and that the shadow creatures were climbing and the Teen Titan (Rachel) was nowhere in sight. Soon a mass panic happened, the perfect escape plan, cliché or not it was her only chance. Sally ran with the crowd that pushed the first three guards at the front down while and while the people climbed up the stairs Sally decided to run down and towards the back way fire exit.
The guards were no longer in sight and now Sally was right where she didn’t intend to be; which was right in the middle of all the action. Sally continued to run and hide from the monsters killing each other for as far as she could. Once the building was completely out of sight, her grip on the “On Air” Recorder tightened. ‘I’m totally screwed. I don’t want to die. I’m in the middle of it all…. I’m actually in the middle of it all!!’ Thought Sally, at first scared of her situation but now enlightened, this was her big break and her chance to make a major difference in it all.
Fixing up her stance to stand up straight and proud Sally had a smile during all of this chaos. “Hello peeps this is RMS again. Currently in the city of Eden, chaos spreads as the shadow creatures and the dragons continue to fight. It seems as though strength is not going to win this battle but instead it would be numbers. Every one person these shades… kill means another shade is coming into our existence. People of Eden I beg you all to stay in the safety of your doors or the nearest place of shelter you can. Everyone is being evacuated rather quickly and from what I can tell the Titans are the only ones here saving the day. Where are the sentinels, you might ask? Well clearly they aren’t here…. You know the place where they are NEEDED. God it’s like we’re all going to die because nobody is willing to take a stand for what is right. Like really, why aren’t they here? Even the Titans need help. Thousands of people are going to die because of THEY decided not to help. Our only protectors are the Teen Titans and they are putting their all in making sure no one gets… AHHHHH….” Sally screamed at the end of her radio report when five shadows came into sight. Quickly the girl ran through the alley way, only to run into one of the dragons of energy. Looking at its massive size Sally’s face turned pale. Behind her were the shadows, now observing their new prey and in front of her was the large gold flaming dragon of energy. Without warning it swung its massive claws of energy down to attack the girl, but with a quick jump left she managed to barely dodge the strike as the shadows all jumped at the dragon to attack. The battle was happening right in front of her and she was the bystander that was in the way of it all. Again Sally screamed for help as the five battled and while trying to attack her too.
Meanwhile, after talking with Rachel, Sinna began her flight to find her sister. Throughout the City a bright red orb flew around, leaving a trail of red, most of it was clear and hardly any bodies were seen, everywhere Sinna could see the Titans doing their best to stop these beings of energy. Sinna was feeling strange, almost as though she was being watched but still there was no time for “feelings”, her sister was probably in trouble and her mother might be as well. As Sinna flew she decided to get closer to the ground so she could fight against these monsters and dragons of energy. ‘This is Jilocasin’s work. Did he do this?’ thought Sinna as she undid he flying to be in her normal form so that in midair she could use her energy bladed hands to slice the head off one of the flaming dragons, making it disappear into the air before continuing her flight again. ‘What are you…’ continued Sinna’s thought before it was interrupted by a loud scream.
Without stopping Sinna’s flight speed grew incredibly and even in her “orb flight” form Sinna’s blades were already out, spinning in incredible speeds as she flew towards the scream’s direction, cutting, killing, and shredding any and everything that got in her way. ”Sally!” Said Sinna to herself as she continued to search for her sister, recognizing the scream as her sisters and that Sally was probably in danger.
The speed of Sinna’s flight continued to increase; the orb never stopped moving through the streets no matter what was in its way. The blades sliced through all the monsters and dragons but as the orb passed by it seemed more like everything it passed that was also made of energy just dispersed into nothingness all while Sinna’s worry and fear continued to grow.
When Sinna finally found her sister she was behind the four Shades and Dragon fighting. Standing there Sinna observed the situation without a word and looked at everything that was happening. Her flail was hiding her face and her secret identity from her own sister. Soon Sinna flew the blades of energy out as she started to fly to her sister.
When the Dragon struck down her sister screamed again, this was the end for her but before the strike could fully connect to its target it stopped. Looking up Sally could see a red glow coming from black glades of energy. Behind her was a girl that looked kinda like a seductress or a witch in a sense due the leather “armor” she was wearing and the flail that hid the girl’s face while a large red hood helped hide her face in black. On her arms were gloves with pentagrams glowing on the palms and the blades were coming out of her knuckles. Almost like magic. Before Sally could say a thing the dragon moved back to attack the shadows, smashing one out of existence. The girl then threw Sally away before creating a wall of energy to block the fire that was breathed out of the Dragon’s mouth at them. Without warning it then smashed through the force field of energy using its wings.
Taking the opportunity from this given advantage, the shadows jumped on the dragon’s back and started to strike and attack it with feral aggression. The dragon was able to reach back and grab one of the shadows to throw it on the ground away from it and not it’s attention was away from Sinna, as was its back turned. Without question Sina started to run forward as she shot her blades of energy at the two shadows on the dragon. Bosh shots hit its target but due to being made of energy they were able to easily regenerate the damage they took. Shortly after Sinna jumped into the air to levitate for a moment to get higher before doing a front flip with her foot having a blade of energy also shoot out of it, slicing one of the shadows and the dragon in half. When Sinna landed one of the shadows jumped on top of her and the two rolled on the ground. While the two rolled the shade tried to bite Sinna and the other was moving in fast to finish the job. Sinna had no time and little options, she laid on her back, took a deep breath to focus and shot a blade out of her knee as she kicked upward to knee the shade, a trick she learned from Rachel and the only reason she was going to live this situation. Sinna didn’t have much time to get back up and the other shade was already so close. Rolling on her side Sinna tied to get away during the shade’s jump at her. Once it landed she shot a blade out and cut off its hands and feet. They would regrow quickly but by the time they did Sinna was already on her feet and was able to finish it off with a blast through its body. Looking back at her sister Sinna flew to her slowly but didn’t say a thing.
“Thank you” Said Sally but instead of responding Sinna nodded then waved for Sally to follow her. Sinna walked and was now on guard for more of the shades or dragons; each one she saw was quickly handled without much problem. It wasn’t long before Sinna lead her sister back to the safety of Gold Corp walls like the other civilians. ”Stay!” Said Sinna sternly and bluntly to make sure it’s known that that place was safe for her sister before flying off to help the other titans.
While Sinna flew away she got word from Rachel that her Father was safe. “Thanks hun, I owe you one. I don’t know where Mrs. Tudor is but she tends to be well guarded, better than my father at times. So I think she’s fine.” Replied Sinna as she flew to help everyone.

While Sinna was saving Sally, Mr. Tudor was still in the streets with his group of body guards, stealthily getting to his house with hardly any trouble and the trouble they did get in to be handled quickly. Once he made it to his house his group lost 3 good men. Taking a short cut through an alleyway the group met one of the flaming dragons of energy on the other side and quickly responded but it killed the three men. The fight ended when Mr. Tudor took out his own gun and began to shoot its center instead of its head with his men and threw a sonic Grenade to further damage its energy while the rest of his bodyguards killed it. Once it was finished he made it home to see the four gold Corp guards and a man in his house. Without much warning he ordered his men to just kill them all but leave the last man for him.
Opening the door the guards killed their fellow comrades without hesitation and Mr. Tudor was able to see who it was that was in his house. By just looking at the man Tudor already had a hunch as to who it was but still decided to double check by taking out his wallet after searching the man’s pockets. “You know Mr. Anderson, for a Shadow Tech employee I expected less sloppy work. Holding your Wallet in your pocket, hiring my own guards that could’ve been used as spies, pretending to be me… You really lack in comparison to the previous men they’ve hired. So I’ll ask this once. Why are you here?” The man looked at Mr. Tudor and shook his head no, not willing to talk. “Oh come on Mr. Anderson… You’re a nobody who is completely replaceable. What are you worried about? After this they’ll kill you anyways if you go back and you know this. A family man with four loving daughters, a beautiful wife and you’re working just for the scraps that they give you like the worthless, replaceable dog that you are. So just tell me and maybe I can help you.” The man looked down at the pictures that were in his wallet that was thrown on the floor in front of him and closed his eyes. “Sir… they wanted me to kidnap your daughter to force you to “donate” half of your company’s profits to them. But I’m not the main guy… there is another in gold corp right now who’s doing another job.” “What is it?” “I- I don’t know I swear.” “Very Well”
As soon as Mr. Tudor finished his statement he aimed the gun at the man’s head, his eyes widened as he screamed. “OH MY GOD! N-“*BANG*
“Can you guys clean the dog shit off my floor? I’m going to get a drink. Once you’re done there’s some vodka in the fridge. “Said Mr. Tudor as he walked away and disappeared from his body guard’s sight, unnerved by what happened and not even worried about the spy in his company, his trap was already set to stop him after all.

After waiting for a bit for Druid to respond to his question Daniel got on the giant sword ride that he summoned and flew off towards his destination. If druid joined him then he’d drop her off first then get to his destination to fight off the shades and dragons. Seeing his first group Daniel summoned some weapons and just cut through them all without much of a hassle. In fact his job continued to get easier as time passed though after a while Death was seen in the air fighting with Sirius. Heh. About time the mana came. Said Daniel to himself but the thing that continued to pester in the teenage boy’s mind was why did Jillocasin work with Death, let alone summon an army to fight with and against the shades.
Daniel continued to think about it, thinking back to his notes and investigation against Jilocasin. Something here was not adding up, the two never had communications and if they did Death would have fully mastered the arts, right? Looking back up at Sirius and Death’s battle Daniel continued to think. ”What are you doing? thought Daniel trying to figure out what Death was planning. Then is struck him, right at the last moment a sudden burst of energy was felt from a far. ”SIRIUS LOOK OUT! Screamed Daniel as he noticed that all the Dragons and Shades were gone. He doubted that Sirius could hear him when Daniel cried out to him. At the distance Daniel could see a bright gold and red flame in the distance as it took form to be a giant flaming Dragon made of fire and energy, it’s wings spread, ready for flight and Death was already halfway inside the portal.
Wide eyed and with no time to react Daniel had one shot, this was his only chance, he knew what Jilocasin was doing for once but not only that but he knew exactly where and how to strike without having to fight him head on. This was the one time only where he could finally end Jilocasin’s reign of terror. Though looking up it was clear that Sirius would not have time to get out of the way either. The dragon of fire closed its wings and spread it again as it darted at incredible speeds towards Sirius and Death. Daniel closed his eyes in frustration as he summoned the giant sword and had if fly upwards. The chance and choice of fate was determined as the sword flew, the die was casted and a decision was made between his friend and his lifelong goal in killing the great evil of the world. It all happened in a flash but to Daniel if felt like the energy of holding that one “shield” in place was against what felt like an unstoppable force.
A clashing sound was heard as the massive amounts of fire from the dragon’s wing stuck the blade in front of Sirius. Within a second the dragon too disappeared but so did Death and even though Daniel could not see it the Dragon grabbed him and took the insane alien through another portal all together. Watching up to make sure that Sirius was okay Daniel felt tired from that last summon and his recent decline of energy, enough to kneel as he breathed heavily from it all. He was angered mentally that he failed to take the one chance he had but was also somewhat glad his friend was okay. To make matters worse keeping the sword in the air and still enough to protect Sirius took further amounts of mana from the boy. His nose began to bleed as the energy he used took more than its toll from him.

Spellthief watched Ace carefully through the fog as he moved around carefully behind Ace. Soon he noticed Ace’s moved quickly to throw the arrow behind him, still lacking vision spellthief had to admit his perception of the battle was outstanding, able to predict movements though Spellthief still held an upper hand. The arrow Spellthief shot at ace was now being shot back at him but it was clear that the lack of vision still took its toll since the arrow missed, even if it was only barely. Spellthied sat down as he used his shade ability to further complicate things. Once the copy was made it silently ran again behind ace to better confuse him.
Still in his original position Spellthief again manipulated the fog to speak to Ace.
“The clock ticks as arrows fly,
Shadows move within the ground’s sky.
Hunt for what’s missing look for what’s sitting.
Be warned, one may also be two that may be hitting. “
Once his other self was in position Spellthief again manipulated the fog to constantly move to better give the illusion that there are multiple people running around, all one at a time.
