Starting
In Metal City, Nora is running away from a mad man, or is he really crazy or just mad? Nora was running off with a grin on her face with a stolen Chaos Drive for her gear! Hiroaki grabbed her from a building roof and slung her on it. The man was confused on where she went....

Chapter 1: Stranger from the Shadows
Hiroaki- Nora, you got to stop stealing like that!

Nora- Eh, its only when I can't afford it!

(Nora puts chaos drive away)

Nora- Now, are we going to go home or what?!

(Hiroaki didn't listen)

Nora- YO! Stretch! Aren't you coming?!

Hiroaki- Nora, I think something just moved in that ally....

(Unseen, a shadowy figure creeps up behind Hiroaki...)

(Nora fires a lazer at the shadowy figure while Hiroaki screamed)

Nora- Don't be a baby!

Hiroaki- Who is that?!

(A unknown shadow appeared behind Nora)

Nora- Huh? What the---

(Nora gets knocked out and is carried off by the shadow)

Hiroaki- NORA!

(Hiroaki tries to grab Nora but the shadow avoided the hit and Hiroaki got whiplash and fell)

Hiroaki- Nora! *cries*

(A yellow and black dragonfly walks by, whistling. She sees Hiroaki and runs over to her.)

Volt- Hey, are you okay?

(Knight is taking a walk along the city sidewalks, but finds someone who appears to be in dispair.)

Knight: Hm? *walks up to Hiroaki* Out of pure curiosity, what appears to be the problem?

Hiroaki- *Sniff* Huh? Who are you?

Knight: A random bystander. If you want to know my name, rephrase your question.

Hiroaki- Oh!

(Hiroaki stands up and bows)

Hiroaki- I am Hiroaki DaichiMizu, please may I ask, what is your name?

Knight: Call me Knight. Knight the Fox. Recalling my recent question, was something wrong?

Hiroaki- My friend Nora got kidnapped, I tried to save her, but... I'm too weak....

(Hiroaki looks down, ashamed....)

Knight: You can't be possibly weaker than I am. Most people I meet have all these crazy abilities that could wipe out civilizations. All I have is a sword. You need not to feel shame. Of course our combined forces could possibly be enough to get your friend back. I know how it feels to lose someone close to you, and I wouldn't want the events to be replicated.

Volt- Yeah, don't feel bad. We'll get your friend back somehow.

(Hiroaki looks up and smiles)

Hiroaki- Okay, and, my ability isn't powerful... just freakish....

Knight: No need to show me until you actually need to use it, we'll need all our energy if this foe is strong.

(Hiroaki scratches his head in thought)

Hiroaki- But, we don't even know who this foe is, all I saw was a shadow....

(Hiroaki looks down, but then shifted his head up as if he got a idea)

Hiroaki- Well there is one person who would know anything about shadows and dark guys, it would be Kumiko....but....

Knight: Then we should meet with this Kumiko person. I'm sure it wouldn't hurt.

Hiroaki- But! Kumiko is a Charmling, if you don't know what that is, it's a type of witch...

(Hiroaki places his arms behind his back)

Hiroaki- And she's not too kindly to Nora... Plus, I don't where she....

Kumiko- I'm sorry, were you talking about me?

(Hiroaki fell in surpised, as Kumiko appeared out of nowhere)

Kumiko- I'm Kumiko Misou...

(Kumiko was a flowerless seedrian with long black hair and side-burns typed at the bottom, her eyes were a burning red, she wore a velvet-colored vest with long, oversized sleeves that were red and a big white bow on her chest, her black dress hid her feet, she had a paper bow in her hair)

Knight: Hm. Well that was quick. I'm Knight the Fox. Do you know anything about this shadow, Kumiko? Assuming you heard pretty much everything else we said.

(A winged creature flies down from the skies. Upon further inspection, they find that he is angel. He has a green color with a fox tail, and hedgehog ears.)

Angel: Well then, whats been going on here?

(Hiroaki gets up)

Hiroaki- Well, you see my friend has been kidnapped....

(Kumiko knocks Hiroaki back down)

Kumiko- Shut it "run-away"...

(Hiroaki rubs his head)

Kumiko- A star-light haired seedrian of the name Nora Kouba has been kidnapped, I believe what has kidnapped her was a demon of the ability to hide it's identity. However, there is only one of it's kind that I know of that exists...

Angel: Well then, sounds like I can help out. *holds out hand* The names Isaih. My team would be glad to help out.....if I could find them that is.

Kumiko- I will not be helping no more, for now... But the one that I know of is a being that goes by the name of Arthur Shiranai..

(Kumiko disappears, while Hiroaki gets up)

Hiroaki- I know where he is, he's in the Hayashi Forest!

Isaih: I'll go and do whatever I need.

Hiroaki- We need a ride, the forest is 50 miles away!

Knight: We can go to the Extreme Gear shop a couple blocks down the street, I got a couple rings to spend.

Hiroaki- When me and Nora go there, we ride on her Extreme Gear, even though I tend to fall off, but I can easily grab back on...

(Hiroaki stops, and thinks about what he just said)

Knight: If you want to save your relative, then maybe we should just go instead of sitting here and listening to your stories.

[Knight already walked halfway down the street to the shop.]

(Hiroaki gets startled then mad)

Hiroaki- *shaking fist* Nora's not my sister, she's a plant, I'm a hedgehog!

(Out of annoyance, Hiroaki slung his hand on a lamp post and flung himself past Knight)

Hiroaki- I guess you didn't know, but I'm like rubber!

(Hiroaki still rather mad, but knows he shouldn't have done that...)

(Isaih flies down from the sky)

Isaih: Hey sorry about the delay...............something wrong?

[Knight, making no attempt to catch up, eventually ends up at the general area Hiroaki is.]

Knight: Hey, I didn't know. So that was that "Weird" ability you spoke of? Pretty interesting if you ask me.

[He then walks into the shop and starts browsing the "Fly" section.]

[Isaih catches up, a bit irritated that nobody responded to him]

Isaih: What did I miss?

Knight: Nothing you should be worried about. Now let's see here...hm...Too expensive...Too retarded...Just plain stupid...Aha, what is this?

[He then picks up a board that appeared to be a round body with two wings coming from the sides, and which the color scheme was shining blue with silver linings along the side wings.]

Knight: Appropriate.

Hiroaki- But, it needs a battery... OH!

(Hiroaki took something out of his vest)

Hiroaki- When Nora got kidnapped, she dropped this, I found it, it's suppose to be a chaos drive for Gear...

(What Hiroaki was holding was the newest and most powerful Chaos Drive, Chaos Drive GB:MX 2100!)

Hiroaki- It might be of some use...

Devin- What's going on here?

(Hiroaki turns around)

Hiroaki- Huh? Who are you?

Devin- Oh. I'll introduce myself. My name is Devin the Fox and I just want to join your adventure. Where's your friend at? Did he or she get kidnapped or so I heard?

[Knight compared the battery to the gear, checking for compatibility.]

Knight: This'll work. Thanks.

[He then opens the panel on the bottom of the board, and inserts the battery.]

(A small half-black and half-white young fox girl walks in)

Split: What's going on? I heard about a kidnapping!

(Hiroaki scratches his head)

Hiroaki- My friend Nora the Seedrian, or Nora Kouba, has been kidnapped by a Nue... Well, by words of Kumiko that is...

(Turns back at Knight)

Hiroaki- I wonder how long it'll take us, each gear differs in speed...

[Knight opens and begins to read the manual that came with the already purchased gear.]

Knight: But they all have different ways of gaining incredible speed. Mine, for example, can double in speed while in the air, so I'd just need a small ramp or something to jumpstart it.

Split: I don't ride gear. I teleport. Or run. I'm super fast! ^_^

Knight: Good for you. Now excuse me...*hops on the floating board*...as I test this machine.

[Knight zooms forward on his board, hitting some ramps and gaining serious speed.]

Knight: Flies like a dream. I'll be outside when you're all done...doing...activities.

(Split just rolls her eyes and shakes head, then steps outside)

Split: Whatever. I'm going to the forest.

(Split turns into a greyish blur as she dashes towards the forest)

Devin- Maybe we should test it.

(Hiroaki purchased a yacht-type gear)

(Hiroaki starts getting on the gear)

Hiroaki- (I never rode a gear before without Nora, but, she always tells me not to be such a baby.... I guess I'll have to be strong as her if I have anyhope to save her...)

Hiroaki- Hmm... Yacht type gear can ride on drafts by someone else, I guess I'll help me catch up...

(Hiroaki takes out a chaos drive, not like the other one, but it works)

(Hiroaki steps onto the yacht and it starts up)

Hiroaki- ''AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!! ''THATS FAST!

Devin- Yeah. I should have figured that.

(In a castle in somewhere else)

Nora- LET ME GO YA JERK!

(Nora kept baning on the cage bars, as she screamed)

???- SILENCE GIRL! I must have SILENCE!

Nora- What? Can't use the bathroom in peace?

???- You might want to stop that sassing, right now!

(Nora sticked her tounge out)

???- Argh! Hmph, just soon, I'll have your light and you shall speak no more!

Nora- What are you talking about?! And just WHO are you!?!

???- Oh, just someone that you know, a long time ago....

(??? takes off his mask and cloak)

(Nora goes into shock)

Nora- W-w-wait, you're....

Chapter 2: Hayashi, forest of innocent Demons
(Hiroaki is still gripping the gear in fright)

Hiroaki- I think... ngh... we're almost there!

(Hiroaki hits a tree and flies off)

Hiroaki- Ngh... ow.....

(Split laughs, then stops when she notices a strange cloaked figure in the forest)

(Cloaked figure sees that Split noticed him, then runs deeper in the forest)

Split: Hey! Guys? Did you see the hooded figure? He seemed to be running off in a hurry!

Hiroaki- What hooded figure, all I see is stars... @_@

(Split slaps him)

Split: Wakey Wakey stupid!! I mean THAT hooded figure!

(She points to the figure, who's still running deeper into the forest)

(rubs face)

Hiroaki- Ow!

(Hiroaki notices the shady figure too)

Hiroaki- Don't worry I'll get him!

(Hiroaki stretches his arm out to grab the cloaked person, but he escaped and Hiroaki's arm smacked back at him)

Hiroaki- Ugh.. The good thing about being rubber is, you always bounce back! Ow...

[Knight catches up with the others, and speaks as the gear flies under his arm.]

Knight: Hey, did I miss anything?

Split: Oh nothing...Ruki just missed catching some sorta hooded figure...I'll get him...

(Split dashes into the forest, then comes back with the figure tied up and dragged behind her)

Split: Gotcha.

(She dumps the figure, who rolls a bit, and stops in front of Hiroaki)

???: And what might you want?

Knight: Well what do you think? One, your identity. Two, your reason for being here. Mysterious cloaked folk aren't really...you know...what's the word for it?

Hiroaki- Trustworthy? Friendly? Good-hearted?

Knight: Pretty much. Thanks.

(Hiroaki smiles)

(Figure just spits at his feet, then says something in an unknown language)

Split: Listen jerk, it's either you pull off the hood, or I do it for ya!

(Figure just grunts)

Knight: I'd hate to have to resort to violence, but if that's what I must do...*sigh*

[Knight pulls out his sword and then points it at the cloaked figure.]

Knight: Answer to our demands. We can do this the easy way, and you can just walk away. Or, we can do this the hard way and risk your body becoming one with the soil. Your choice.

(Hiroaki grins deviously)

Hiroaki- I took down 3 knights that attacked my mother, and they all went running like babies... You want to know why? The hard way?

(Hiroaki swings his arm, making a whip-like noise)

(A grey figure walks out from the shadows. He has no complete resemblance of any mobian creature, he just switches from animal to animal as he speaks.)

???:Come now let the man go will ya?

Knight: We asked two simple questions. It's his fault that he's acting like a di--wait, who are you?

???: *smiles* The name is Renegade, I also go by Renegade the Hedgemorph or Renegade the Ancient. Whichever suites me more.

Isaih: *Walks up to everyone* I see you've met my third in charge. Swell!

???: I'm not afraid of any of you. Not the knight in tarnished armor, the grey dude, the rubber freak, or the angel.

(Figure spits again, then says something in the strange language again)

[Knight is angered by this figure's arrogance.]

Knight: You're in no position to make any smart remarks you, so you'd better get some sense right now, or I'll slice your to.

Renegade: *looks at figure* Are you of my race? *Changes to a dark gray Hedgehog with a full black outfit*

Isaih: *smiles* well this boy has alot of guts.

Split: Just pull your hood off!

???: There's two things that are not gonna happen. One, I'm not pulling my hood down. And two, you guys scaring me. And that's exactly why I have claws.

(Figure quickly draws sharp claws, then cuts the ropes like spaghetti, then speeds off on a hover-board)

Knight: Now you KNOW something's up. All he had to do was reveal his identity...

[He throws his extreme gear in the air, and hops on it, the sword sliding right back into his case while doing so.]

Knight: ...And that would've screwed him up somehow. We'll find out once we catch that creep.

(Figure looks over shoulder)

???: Never make it easy...Always the hard way.

(Figure clones self into 5, then all five figures fly in different directions)

Renegade: Let me be of assisstance... *Turns into 5 as well, and they all dissapear*

???: Ughh...They never give up...

(Figure spreads huge dragon wings, then flies upward)

???: Catch me now! *flies off*

(Saddens from what the figure said... but thought of something...)

Hiroaki- WAIT! Mr. Cloak guy, you can't fly too high, or he'll get mad!

(Hiroaki seems like he knows more about the forest then he lets on)

Devin- Wait a minute. Did you hear the tone of that guy's voice?

(Hiroaki didn't listen, but kept telling the cloaked-figure about the skies)

Hiroaki- The skies will get mad! The skies will get mad! HE will get mad!

(He seems confused)

???: Who are you talking about?!?

Knight: It could be one of two things: The stalling theory, where if you keep flying up for a certain amount of time, you lose control. The second theory is that you would fly too close to the sun and your wings would melt. Poor Icarus.

Hiroaki- NO! There's a Sky God living in the forest, if you head into the cloud that doesn't move with the wind, you'll be in danger!

Knight: Crap, don't tell him that! Oh, wait...he's gotten too close already, never mind.

Hiroaki- I can't watch...

(All of a sudden there was a bright flash, then around 30 blue arrows bursted from the clouds aiming at the cloaked being)

Unknown Voice- Stay away from my territory!

(Surprisingly, the voice sounded young)

Knight: Heheh...reminds me of a fireworks show.

Devin- Who goes there?

[Knight grins.]

Knight: Who goes where? I go nowhere.

Voice- You cannot see the air, typical mortals...

(All of a sudden clouds swirled around in the air and a strange being appeared from it)

Voice- I am Sho Za Sora Takehiko, God of Skies, why are outsiders going into my clouds?!

(He was a light blue hedgehog with white hair, he had different symbols on his clothing, and purple crystals on his sleeves, he wore gauze on his legs as socks, his shoes were medival-like)

Sora- Leave, or recieve your penalty!

(Sora took out a bow, big as him and started perparing arrows formed by wind but pierced like diamond)

???: Oh.

(Figure then lands, then starts to run)

(Hiroaki spots a large rock)

Hiroaki- Hey, is it true that a mortal can't harm a god?

Sora- *turns head* Hmm?!

(Hiroaki wraps his arms around the rock and spins, then he released it! The rock hit Sora HARD! And Sora fell from the sky and landed infront of everyone)

Hiroaki- Then, how am I able to harm you?!

Sora- *cough* *cough*

Split: Ruki! He's getting away! AGAIN!!

(She points to the strange figure, who's not far, but still running)

Knight: Leave him. He probably committed some crime and thinks we're undercover cops or something.

[Knight turns his attention towards the fallen "Sky God."]

Knight: Some god you are.

(Sora gets up and gets mad at Knight)

Sora- I-I-I am a god, I'm just.....I'm just.....

Hiroaki- A Demi-god?

Sora- GAH! Yeah, that's why mortals can hurt me, but my injuries heal faster...

(Sora sulks)

(Split dashes after the figure, then drags me back again)

Split: Let's see who's really under that hood!

(She yanks the hood off, which reveals a dark grey hedgehog with blood red eyes)

Split: Dusk?!? Why were you running?!?

Dusk: I heard about the kidnapping. And since I can't go into the sunlight without my robes, I ran. I knew you would suspect me of something. And I think it's best if my secrets are KEPT SECRET!! I'd not die in the sunlight. That's also why I didn't pull my hood off. And I insulted them because I don't trust anyone who doesn't trust me.

Sora- ..........Are you here about the strange events here?

(Sora gets up)

Sora- The demons here have been acting strangly... The ones I know are innocent, however, they have become violent for some reason... And they keep repeating, 'The Master of Mischeif is among us...'!

(Sora turns to Dusk)

Sora- Also I'm friends with the one who was kidnapped, her name is Nora, does that ring any bells.... Dusk?

Dusk: Yes...I know her. Nora Kouba right? The one that has silver-grey hair? Yeah...We've been on a few adventures...

Sora- I've been wanting to save her, but I must help this forest first! Even if I'm a half-god, I can still be bounded by duty!

(Sora points to the North)

Sora- The River Village, is that way, it is guarded by a Nue, he remains to be the only demon that isn't effected by this strange curse...

(Sora starts walking away)

Sora- If you need any clues about your friend, I have a feeling her kidnapping is connected to the strange things happening here... I must go and calm down some demons, if a demon cannot calm down, then there is only one way to stop their rage... Kill them...

(Sora vanishes in a mist)

Hiroaki- Master of Mischeif? Wait! He doesn't mean....

(In a Castle somewhere)

Nora- LOKI!

(Nora pointing at a purple and black hedgehog, her hand was unsteady and shaking...)

Loki- Bah! If you're thinking I'm the Loki before, you're a fool!

Nora- But, the Crystaliza Lazer should've...

Loki- It only removed the darkness in the Loki you know, and that darkness has gave birth to me! The true Loki!

(Nora sits down and crosses her arms)

Nora- Well, what are you wanting from me?!

(Loki started smirking, then bursted into a laugh)

Loki- You know, the light that powers those lazers!

Nora- Huh? Chaos Purification?

Loki- If that's what you call it, yes...

Nora- So, what does a God of Mischeif want light?

Loki- You'll know in time... heh heh heh

Chapter 3: The Strange Miasma
(At the gates of The River Village)

Hiroaki- Uh... Behind this gate is the village Sora talked about...

Dusk: Right. Sooo...Do we go in? Or do we find that so-called...nue. Whatever that is...

(two cloaked figures are seen watching from the shadows)

Hiroaki- HEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

(A young looking boy appeared and jumped over the large gate)

Arthur- What do you want from this place, and I'm not talking to you two......

(Arthur notices the two cloaked figures)

Summer: *hisses* Great, another mess you got us into!

Alex: This was your idea!

Arthur- Almost nothing can hide from me, for I'm the one who can hide anything!

(At a closer examination, the boy has white hair and blue markings under his eyes, his eyes are a voilet and they don't look human...)

(Split comes out from my robes)

Dusk: So you snuck with us anyways.

Split: Yep! ^_^

(Summer pulls down his hood, revealing a black hedgehog. Alex does the same and reveals a white hedgehog with glowing rainbow markings)

(Arthur crosses his arms and smiles)

Arthur- Phew... I thought you were demons for a sec, then again, your scent didn't match any I know... *turns towards dusk and Hiroaki* I got the news from Sora, you wanting to see me?Ale

Alex: Should we leave?

Summer: No. Light and darkness is off-balanced here. Remember?

Alex: Yeah, but we have things to do....

Summer: We don't. C'mon, le't go with them.

(Summer walks over to the group with Alex lagging behind)

Dusk: We were told you could help us. Our friend Nora got kidnapped.

(Split's staring into Arthur's eyes)

Split: (His eyes are demon-like. He can't be human.)

Summer: See? I think we have our light.

Alex: If you say so.

Summer: My name's Summer.

Alex: I'm Alex. (I don't trust any of you.)

Arthur- Nora? The star-light haired flower? Sora left out that part...

(Arthur goes into a thoughtful pose)

Arthur- Well, I need your help... You see, there's a strange curse flying around here in Hayashi... And demons have been acting strange, like the Shadow fairy that lives in the deeper parts, she's nocturnal however, she's been spotted during daylight... I asked her why she is awake at day, she just keeps saying... "The Master of Mischeif is among us..." It sounds like something a person would be saying if they were cursed...

(Arthur soon got worried)

Arthur- And my friend Kazuki... He disappeared a few days ago before this curse started happening... And I'm worried for him...

(Arthur seems stressed as he brushed his bangs back)

Summer: And now our darkness.

(Summer clears his throat)

Summer: If it is ok with you, we would like to help you on your journey.

Dusk: Gladly.

Split: Kazuki? Who's that?

Summer: See Alex? Nothing to be worried about.

(Arthur turns to Split)

Arthur- Kazuki is a young demon child that disguises himself as a young hedgehog, he is a Tsuchigumo...

Hiroaki- Wait! You don't mean the miasma spider Tsuchigumo?!

Arthur- Yes, but don't worry, he's more afraid of you then you're afraid of him, however he still can manipulate miasma...

Knight: I'm afraid I'm not fully aware of what this "miasma" is.

Dusk: I read something about it. Apparently it's a mist-like poisonous fog...It can cause diseases and illness in even the most immune creature.

Split: O_O D-D-Did you say.......S-S-SPIDER?!?

[Knight slaps Split.]

Knight: Don't throw a hissy fit, they're just bugs. Wait...poisonous fog? Alright, continue the hissy fit.

Arthur- Yes, but this spider won't harm you infact... He's been missing, right before the curse...

(Arthur thinks for a moment)

Arthur- Could it be possible... Hmm, we need to go into the deeper parts of the forest, I have a feeling Kazuki is in danger, infact, I think someone can end up killing him at this rate!

Knight: Then we should hurry up then.

[Knight continues off into the deeper parts of the forest.]

Dusk: Lay off Knight. She's only 8.

(Split climbs onto his shoulders and Dusk follows Knight)

Split: Thanks for the ride Dusky.

Dusk: Yeah yeah...

(Arthur and Hiroaki followed)

'Summer': Huh......Alex, I think something's even more wrong with this world than we know.

(Summer and Alex walk off after the group)

(Arthur stops)

Arthur- Hold it!

(Arthur stopped everyone at a deep raging river)

Arthur- We have to somehow cross this river.. But it's too deep and strong...

(Hiroaki looks at everyone, then starts backing away slowly)

Summer: Alex, work your magic.

(Alex takes out a small notebook)

Hiroaki-(As long as they don't use me, anything else is okay...)

Knight: So he's probably gonna make some bridge appear out of nowhere...right?

(Arthur crosses his arms)

Arthur- If they can't, I can make one...

Dusk: I can fly only 3 people across at a time. So, if anyone wants to get over there fast, better hurry up...Split can't swim so she takes one spot. I can carry 2 more.

(Dusk spreads his wings)

(Arthur sighs)

Arthur- Well, other things will be moving about here, so I might as well make a bridge...

(Arthur walks up to a tall tree)

Arthur- Here we go!

(Arthur grabbed both sides of the tree's trunk and started pulling)

Arthur- Gigh, ugh, rrrrr.......

(The tree starts uprooting)

Arthur- RRAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!

(Arthur lifted the tree out of it's place and tossed over the river creating a bridge)

Arthur- *pant* *pant* Well, that should do it...

(Alex crosses his arms)

Alex: I could have done that just as well!

Summer: You need to use your powers faster then.

(Dusk shrugs and folds wings, then walks across the tree, steps down on the other side and waits)

(Split sniffs, then looks around)

Split: You guys smell that?

(Summer sniffs the air and shakes his head. Alex sniffs the air and covers his nose)

Alex: Ugh, that smells terrible!

Summer: Oh, yeah, you have a sensitive nose.

Arthur- *sniff* Wait a minute.... That smells like...

(Arthur looks around)

Arthur- A purple sky? WAIT! MIASMA?!

(Arthur covered his mouth)

Hiroaki- I don't feel good...

(Hiroaki falls down to the ground, Arthur runs up to him)

Arthur- He has a fever! He must have taken in too much, someone give me some of those leaves over there!

(Arthur points to a bush with long blue-greenish leaves)\

(Summer starts to run over to the bushes, but seemingly out of nowhere, a cloaked figure appears)

Summer: Who are you?!

(The cloaked figure says nothing and summons two energy blades)

Arthur- Summer! Watch out!

(Summer barely dodges the blades and summons a blade that is all black)

Summer: Those weapons are Legendary Lights! If one hits you, it'll send you into eternal sleep!

Arthur- I can't leave Hiroaki, I'll have to hide...

(After a flash Arthur and Hiroaki disappeared into thin air)

Summer: Heh! This'll be fun!

(The mysterious figure and Summer begin to fight, but the mysterious figure has an advantage with lightning speed)

Split: Dusk...PLEASE tell me you picked herbs...

Dusk: Yeah, why?

Split: Good. Did you pick those leaves?

Dusk: Yeah.

Split: Good!

(Split takes them)

Split: Now...GO HELP HIM!!

Dusk: Right!

(Split teleports, while Dusk disappears, then reappears behind figure)

Dusk: PEEKABOO!

(Dusk starts choking the figure from behind)

(The figure disappears and reappears out of Dusk's grasp and starts assulting him with the Legendary Lights)

(Dusk dodges them with ease)

*Meanwhile, with Hiroaki and Arthur*

Split: Arthur, I have the leaves!!

(The mysterious figure jumps back and his Legendary Lights disappear. He crosses his arms and vanishes again)

Dusk: I thought so...You okay Summer?

Summer: Yes. Legendary Lights are only obtained by those who ARE darkness, not those who just wield it. I'm afraid he's after the light too.... ALEX! WHY DIDN'T YOU HELP!

Alex: I'm not good at fighting.....

Summer: Could have at least slowed down time or something.....

Dusk: Well...That's just great...

Summer: Yeah, fantastic. Now we have an almost-god of darkness who wants our heads and the light to be smothered out. What could be better than THAT?!

(Arthur and Hiroaki appeared out of no where)

Arthur- Thanks Dusk, and, I never lefted this spot, being a nue, I have the ability to hide one-self, and being me, I can hide others as well! That's how I protect the village, I hide it so it merely looks like another clearing...

(Arthur wraps a leaf around Hiroaki's mouth)

Arthur- These leaves are unique, they work like air purifiers, you should mask your mouths with them if I were you, even a poweful creature may fall ill to miasma if exposed long enough...

(Hiroaki showed improvement quickly, but was still weak)

Arthur- It effect Hiroaki quickly because he's a mere child, yes he does have strange powers, but he is still a mortal child... He should be fine now, I'll carry him...

(Arthur lifts Hiroaki on his back)

Arthur- Hiroaki has such a weak body, maybe because he was practically sheltered his whole life...

Summer: I would say that Alex and I wouldn't be bothered by it, but this place is unusual, so I'm not taking any chances.

(Summer grabs two leaves adn hands one to Alex)

(Arthur points to the East)

Arthur- I see a faint flow of miasma, its coming from over there, this miasma is strange... It's filled with the scent of madness...

Summer: Then we know where we're going next.

(Split covers mouth with a leaf)

(Dusk just wads a small piece of cloth up and uses that instead)

Dusk: I ran out of leaves. I'll be fine for now.

(Summer seems distracted and is looking around)

Summer: I just know I've seen that figure somewhere....

(The purple smog starts to get thicker)

Arthur- This amount of miasma is amazing! I think we're almost there...

Alex: I can't shake the feeling something bad's about to happen...

(Dusk starts coughing harshly)

Split: Dusk? You okay?

Dusk: Yeah...

(He continues to cough, then drops to knees, eyes bloodshot)

Split: DUSK!!

Dusk: GO!! I'll be fine! You have to save the spider kid!!

Split: But-

Dusk: NOW!!

Summer: Ah ah ah.....

(Summer pulls a leaf out of his pocket)

Summer: I thought this was going to happen.

Split: I'll make a potion.

(She puts the leaf over my mouth, then creates a potion using herbs from my satchel)

Summer: You know what I didn't get? Why you didn't just walk the five feet to the bush and pick another leaf, but hey, that's just my opinion...

( deeper in the forest..)

Nightfall: *appears out of nowhere and is immediately affected by the forest's curse. it turns him into Corrupt Nightfall and he flies off.*

Summer: What?! Darkness just went up tenfold just now!!!

(Summer runs deeper into the forest)

Alex: Summer!!!

(loud roaring(corrupt Nightfall) is heard in the distance)

Summer: Found you!

(Mysterious figure appears again)

Summer: No, no, no!!!! Not now!!!!!

(Arthur starts looking pale)

Arthur- This... miasma.... is stronger then I thought... I don't know.... if I can... make it....... Because, I'm a demon too... This miasma might effect me... I don't know if I can keep my will....

(Arthur falls down Hiroaki wakes up)

Hiroaki- Arthur?

(Hiroaki keeps shaking Arthur, but Arthur is silent and cold)

Arthur- Ngh... Sorry, I just... got faint for a moment... I'm okay...

(Arthur gets up, but he's a bit shakey)

(Summer dodges another swipe from the figure)

Summer: Does he ever get tired?!?

Split: I have only enough for 4 potions...

(Split hands one to me, and one to Arthur)

Split: If you want to live, I suggest you drink it Arthur.

(Summer throws his blade at the figure when suddenly time in his area reverses)

Summer: Ohhh, snap. He's got time on his side.

(Summer runs)

Arthur- I'm okay... I've been around many years, I can handle some simple miasma...

Split: No! Drink it! I don't want to be dragging you the whole way!

Arthur- Fine but....

(Arthur seems a bit weary)

Arthur- Does it have ocean water? Monkey, tiger, raccoon dog and/or snake remains? Or specks of silver and/or iron?

Alex: You're allergic to THAT MUCH STUFF?!

Arthur- Silver and Iron burns the skin of demons, it is poison for me to eat the flesh of the animals that make up mine, and ocean water will kill me like a arrow in the heart!

Split: No. Dusk has special water that origins from our realm. It's not like any other. There are no remains, only herbs, and the bottle it's in is made of crystals.

Arthur- ....fine...

(Arthur drinks the potion in distaste)

Arthur- Okay, we must continue...

(Somewhere in a giant castle)

(Nora starts playing her guitar)

Loki- Would you stop playing that!

Nora- Would you stop being boring? Just occuping myself till my utter doom...

(Nora was acting sarcastic)

Loki- Hmph, well, I got something to do, a few people are trying meddle with my plans!

(Loki walks off)

(After a long silence, Nora starts playing again)

Chapter 4: Kazuki Unleashed
(The group started entering a forest clearing)

Arthur- Huh... I don't remeber this being here...

Dusk: I smell trouble.

Hiroaki- Look!

(Hiroaki points towards a giant flower in the centre of the clearing)

Arthur- What the? HEY!

(Arthur spots a young white hedgehog with yellow markings and white clothing on top of the flower, miasma seems to be spewing out from his mouth)

Arthur- KAZUKI!

Hiroaki- He's the one behind the madness inducing plague?

Arthur- But Kazuki wouldn't do that, look closer!

(Kazuki is lying down in pain, he is unconscience and seems to be suffering)

Arthur- Kazuki may have the power to fully manipulate Miasma, but his power is too weak to cause this, Kazuki himself has been cursed!

(the mysterious figure yet again appears above Kazuki)

Dusk: I've had enough with this, you creep!

(Dusk runs further into the clearing, and stops a few feet short of the flower)

Dusk: You gotta bone to pick with ANYONE, pick it with me! So get down here and fight like a man! Unless you're gonna cower up there all day!

(Mysterious figure says nothing and rises his blade over Kazuki's heart)

Corrupt Nightfall: *flies over the clearing and roars with savage fury. it spots the group and roars again, firing a darkfire ball at the clearing*

MF: Hmph. It's all over now...

(Mysterious figure slices the darkfire ball in half, making it go haywire and dissapate)

Corrupt Nightfall: *roars in fury. grabs Mysterious figure and throws him at Dusk*M

MF: Feisty, aren't we?

(MF teleports in front of Nightfall and casts a binding spell at him, restraining him)

Corrupt Nightfall: *roars again, this time in pain, and lands next to the flower*

MF: Much better prey than that other weakling!

Alex: STOP!!!

( Alex jumps at MF with his sword in hand, and gets impaled- twice.)

MF: Ahhh, the heart of a Soulwriter...... very interesting.....

Corrupt Nightfall: *roars*

(MF stomps on Nightfall's head, silencing him)

Corrupt Nightfall: ( unconcious) *changes back to normal.*

(Alex squirms in pain on the swords)
