Part One
(Shima and Hali are sitting on a hill, a blanket laid out underneath them with an assortment of food around them. The dark night sky is filled with stars above them)

Shima: (smiles) This nighttime picnic was a good idea, Hali.

Hali: (giggles) Thanks. We haven't gotten to spend a lot of time together, lately.

Shima: Yeah. (looks up at the stars while sipping her drink)

[A shooting star streaks across the sky...]

Hali: Wow! Did you see that?

Shima: Yeah!

Hali: Quick, make a wish!

(The two sisters close their eyes for a few moments, then reopen them)

Shima: What did you wish for?

Hali: (grins and wags a finger) Ah-ah-ah! You never tell someone what you wished for, otherwise it'll never come true!

[The "star" doesn't disappear, however; it hurtles downwards past them, crashing into the ground a few meters away.]

Shima and Hali: !! (they duck as the "star" zooms over their heads and crashes to the ground)

Hali: I-I never thought a star would almost hit me..

Shima: Yeah..

[They get up and start moving towards the "star". Suddenly, the water in Shima's drink begins to shake...]

Shima: ....? (stops and looks at her drink) What the..?

Hali: (continues moving towards the star)

[Then, a large Chaos Blast explodes out from the object, knocking back Shima and sending Hali flying!]

Shima: (lands hard on her back, her drink spilling out over the floor) Ahagh!!

Hali: Waaah! (lands on the ground, tumbling back onto their picnic area)

[A lone figure is sihlouetted against the smoke from the wreckage; it appears to be Shadow at first...]

Shima: Ngh... (sits up, wincing in pain) Sh...Shadow? What...?

???: No. Not Shadow. [He waves away the smoke, revealing his gold-coloured streaks, more unruly quills, and misshapen-looking arm.]

Shima: (her eyes widen before quickly narrowing) Then who are you?

???: [smiles maliciously] You can call me... Umbra. And I know perfectly well who YOU are, Shima.

Shima: (her eyes widen) You...know me? (manages to get to her feet) How-

Hali: Shima! (runs up to her, pieces of smushed food and spilled drink in her hair and on her clothes)

Shima: Stay back, Hali!

Hali: (comes to a stop)

Umbra: [looks over at Hali] Oh, and you too! Perfect! It's two for the price of one! My lucky day! [without warning, he fires a large beam of Chaos Energy at Shima]

Shima: !! (jumps out of the way at the last minute, standing protectively in front of Hali) Who are you? Are you worling for G.U.N.?! We haven't done anything wrong!

Umbra: [laughs maniacally] Oh, that's PRECIOUS! "We haven't done anything wrong"! You've done EVERYTHING WRONG! Your EXISTENCE is WRONG! [rushes at them]

Shima: Go, Hali! I'll hold him off! (charges at Umbra)

Hali: (starts running from the battle)

Shima: I don't know who you are, but you won't touch my sister! (fires a Chaos beam at Umbra)

Umbra: [lifts his larger arm to "catch" the beam, absorbing it] Oh, come on. Did they really make you this inferior? I remember the real you as being so much stronger.

Shima: !! (skids to a stop) What do you mean, the "real" me? (looks back to see that if Hali is gone)

[As she turns, Umbra lands a super-powerful punch in her stomach with his larger arm.]

Umbra: What do you think I mean, you moronic child? [absentmindedly flicks the crystal in her choker]

Shima: (gasps loudly as all the air is knocked out of her; gapsing for air) H....How do you...know?

Umbra: I told you I know everything about you. I was there... [chuckles, and kicks her to the ground]

Shima: Ahck! (lands on her back; breathing heavily) I don't....remember you... (struggles to get up) (thinking) Why...Why am I so weak compared to him...?!

Umbra: I'm hurt. I thought you'd remember your brother. The one who's life you ''destroyed. ''[He punctuates every emphasised word with a kick]

Shima: (cries out in pain at each kick and holds her stomach) I-I'm sorry...Whatever I did I'm sorry..! (spits out some blood) (thinking) I..I don't remember him.....

Umbra: Hmph. I don't care how sorry you are. You ruined me. So I'm going to ruin you all. I'll show them all how much better I AM! [kicks her again and steps back] But... Maybe I'll leave you to later. Yes, you'll be my  piece de resistance. So if not you, then... ah-ha... [looks off in the direction Hali ran off in]

Shima: (suddenly becomes enraged) Don't you dare touch her!! (gasps in pain and courls into a ball, holding her stomach and ribs) Please...leave her alone..!

Umbra: [laughs as he disappears]

[Meanwhile, with Hali...}

Hali: (pants as she runs through the woods that was surrounding the hill) Please be safe, Shima..!

[Rapidly, Umbra steps out from behind a tree and clotheslines Hali, sending her sprawling.]

Hali: Oof! (falls on her back)

Umbra: What are you thinking, running around in the woods at night? Didn't your mother ever warn you about... dangerous people...?

Hali: Ugh....Y-You..! Wh-What did you do to Shima...?!

Umbra: Suffice to say she won't be troubling us for some time. We can have a little family bonding time! Won't that be fun? [on the last word, he drops his face dangerously close to Hali's]

Hali: ! (gulps and whimpers) Wh-Who are you..? (tries to scoot away)

Umbra: [grabs her by the neck with his larger arm and effortlessly picks her up] Well now, THAT'S a question in itself, isn't it? Lots of answers, yes... Let's go with "your older brother" for a start.

Hali: O-Older brother...?! (pulls at his fingers)

Umbra: Precisely. Other applicable answers include "your worst nightmare", "better than you" and "the only 'Ultimate Lifeform' ALLOWED to live in this universe!" [tightens his grip]

Hali: (coughs and whimpers) Wh-What do you want..?!

Umbra: [growls] Didn't you HEAR ME? [throws Hali into another tree] Are you STUPID?! [Grabs her by the collar and throws her to the ground] Why did they ever think that you and all these other imbeciles are BETTER THAN ME?! [grabs her by the neck again] Hh... [slowly] I'm going to kill you. And every other ridiculous impostor who thinks they can throw the t- MY title around like a triviality.

Hali: (starts to cry softly) P-Please..stop...!

Umbra: [brings her closer, speaking in an almost compassionate voice] ...I can't...

Hali: (cries; looks into his eyes) Wh-Why..?

Umbra: ... [looks away, slackens his grip a little] ...you're coming with me now. Chaos... Chaos Control... [the two vanish in a burst of light]

(Back with Shima)

Shima: (curled in a ball holding her stomach and ribs) H-Hali... (reaches into her pocket weakly, pulling out a cellphone) Gotta...call someone... (opens her phone and presses a button on speed-dial) Statyx...please pick up...

???: *from behind Shima* You called?

Shima: ! (groans and looks up at Statyx) S-Statyx..! (grins a bit, showing blood-caked teeth, then whimpers a bit in pain) Hali...

Statyx: *his eyes widen as he sees the state Shima is in* Who did this to you? And what about Hali!?

Shima: (grimaces and pulls herself up into a sitting position) Someone named....Umbra... H-He..attacked us... and he went after her... (hangs head) I-I couldn't stop him..

Statyx: Do you know where he went?

Shima: (staggers to her feet and points down the hill) That way....the same way that Hali went...!


 * (Kagi: Something came to mind; Statyx was made by someone other than Gerald, so isn't it likely Umbra wouldn't even know who or what Statyx is?)
 * (He might have a vague idea upon meeting him, but you're right, he wouldn't have any knowledge.)
