The DarkShadow #3 Good Relation's

     Taking place after the fight at the club, at a New York hotel, at the highest floor, Salamander is in a room and talking on his cellphone to the Red Bishop.

Salamander:

I'm telling you he came after me, he tracked me down and came after ME! He knows who I am!

 

Red Bishops Voice:

I understand.

 

Salamander:

Do you... I don't think you do. HE CAME AFTER AND THREATEN MEEE!

 

     Salamander yelling at Red Bishop telling him of his encounter with DarkShadow.

 

Salamander:

Not only that he wanted answers.

 

Red Bishops Voice:

What kind of answers?

 

Salamander:

The identity of the Boss.

 

     Red Bishop was quiet when he heard what Salamander said.

 

Red Bishops Voice:

... Did you tell him?

 

Salamander:

What... of course not... I know full well what could happen to me if I did something that stupid. But what am I going to do he's gonna come after me again, something has got to be done about that bastard, and now.

 

     Salamander was telling red Bishop of the circumstances they are facing with the continuous threat of DarkShadow to them.

 

Red Bishops Voice: 

Agreed, I have spoken with him and we have come up with a solution, he will be dealt with. For the meantime you continue with your meeting with White Shark.

 

Salamander:

ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND... I can't meet with him now, not when my life is threatened.

 

     Salamander told Red Bishop, fearing for his life if he steps outside to meet with White Shark.

 

Red Bishops Voice:

If you refuse, your life is done. He needs to make sure that we are still in good relation's with White Shark and his gang, cause we still need their assistance.

 

      He told Salamander of the consequences he will face if he disobeys his bosses order.

 

Salamander:



Dammit, fine... I'll go. One more thing, besides him asking for a name, he gave a name, said his name was DarkShadow.

 

     Salamander saying the name of the DarkShadow to Red Bishop which he was silent at first but then responded.

 

Red Bishops Voice:

This is excellent news, we can use this to our favor. Be sure to inform White Shark of what you've unfold, he will be please to know the name of who's been interfering with his business.

 

     Salamander then hang up the phone and went to look out the window.

 

     The next day newspapers of the club incident spread thought New York, about the DarkShadow.

 

     At the Police Station, Captain Trevor was addressing his offers about the incident and what they're move will be.

 

Captain Trevor:

Alright, I want us to crack down on this man hard, more night and hourly patrols though the streets. We need to catch this Dark Demon. He must be stopped before more people get hurt.

 

     As Captain Trevor was giving order to his officers, Michael Reed was working in the CSI lab examining the black residue he found at the cargo port. As he was working, Alan came into the room.

 

Alan:

Hey... Man this guy just does not lead up. First at the Cargo port taking on Hellfire Members, now a showdown with a bunch of security guards at an exotic dance club.

 

Michael:

You mean a strip club.

 

Alan:

My phrasing was more polite.

 

      The two laugh, then Alan saw what he was working on.

 

Alan: 

So... you've discovered anything on what that is?

 

Michael:

Honestly no... there are elements in here that I haven't a clue of.

 

Alan:

What do mean?

 

Michael:

OK. I've been studying every element on the periodic table, what they do, what they make and the mixers, everything but this, this is like nothing I've ever seen before. I did find one thing that I can recognize... barely. There are blood cells in here.

 

Alan:

Blood, that's blood. So maybe this Dark Demon is a NewBeing.

 

Michael:

No... they're DNA contain traces of the AE (Ability Enhance) gene. This contains none of it and the blood cells are like black.

 

     Michael revealing to Alan of what little he new, of the black residue and the anomaly of which it is.

 

Alan:

I'm starting to agree with you more and more, that this guy might really be a demon.

 

     Alan said, Michael then continue to research the black residue trying to find out something.

 

Meanwhile at a building called News Truth. people are working on articles for the New York Paper. During which a man is walking into an office meeting another man sitting on a desk with the name plate David Thompson.

 

Man #1:

Thompson, come on where's that article I need it.

 

David:

I will, just need to get all my facts.

 

Man #1:

What other facts are there, the Dark Demon enter a strip club trashed the place, beaten and killed a few guards and put the club owner in intensive care. What more can there be.

 

     David then stood up and walk up to the man till we was right next to him.

 

David:

I got some sources, giving me the description of Salamander. He went after one of the top 3 commanders in the Hellfire gang, Bill. Why?

 

Bill:

Maybe he stole a dance from him.

 

David:

Come on... He's been going after a lot of scumbags, robbers, thieves, kidnappers, and a few members of the White Shark's Gang, but he's been hitting hard on the Hellfire Gang. The way he acts he could've killed Salamander in an instant but he didn't, cause he needed something from him.

 

Bill: 

What?

 

David:

That's what I'm trying to figure out.

 

     David said to Bill, then turned around and went right back to his desk.

 

     At another side of town Salamander is walking into a club called Ocean Deep. Inside the club was filled with all types of blue colors, and had aquarium walls with all kinds of fish, squids, starfish, jellyfish and small sharks. Salamander walked up to a guard who was standing by the stairs, the guard blocked his path.

 

Salamander:

I'm here to meet with White Shark, for the Hellfire Gang.

 

      The Guard then started walking up the stairs and Salamander followed. The Guard then open a door and Salamander entered. He saw four other guards wielding guns, a table with food and a man in a white suit eating meat, however this man was big, his skin and head was of a Great White Shark, as well as the eyes and he had sharp teeth, this was White Shark. Salamander sat down on a chair across from White Shark. Salamander just starred at White Shark as he continued eating.

 

Salamander:

It's good that we could meet today, my Boss wanted to make sure that we were still cool, right man.

 

     White Shark then stopped eating and looked at Salamander who began to shiver.

 

White Shark:

Your in my club gecko, so you will address me as sir.

 

Salamander:

Y-ye-yes sir... sorry.

 

     Salamander said listening to what White Shark demanded.

 

White Shark:

I lost a lot of good money because of your gangs screw up of losing those girls. My buyers were going to pay a nice price for each of them.

 

Salamander:

Yes, we are aware of that.

 

White Shark:

They were so upset they dared to insult me, called me incompetent, and questioned my capability. Well, they now know not to challenge a NewBeing like me, or at least their relatives and successors will.

 

     White Shark said revealing himself as a NewBeing, then taking a bite of the meat, which Salamander notice a hand on the plate. He began to shake more and more of fear from White Shark.

 

White Shark:

So... tell me why I should continue doing business with your Boss and Gang? And what's to stop me from gaining back the money I lost by expanding my territory to yours.

 

Salamander:

Now wait we made a deal in dividing this city and we help each other out with our... activities.

 

White Shark:

And your side has been failing lately. So it makes me think why I continue working with your gang and not destroy it and take over all of New York.

 

Salamander: 

My Boss does not want to fight. He still needs you and it a bad idea to fuck with him.

 

     Salamander telling White Shark, warning him of what he wants to do. Then White Shark slammed on the table.

 

White Shark:

You know, your boss has not once met with me to talk business. And he keeps to himself, your Hellfire Gang merely takes to the streets, businesses to collect, but you do no further ventures, owning pieces of this city, that's why you need me to get you what you need cause I have my connection in this city. Cause I make myself known.

 

Salamander:

Which is the other reason I'm here, My Boss still needs those chemicals. He is willing to up the payment he offered you of your services.

 

White Shark:

That's a good start but I need more. I got new shipment of drugs coming in, pure stuff. I need additional guards on them, as well as police protection. The shipment is on your turf so I need cops on your payroll.

 

Salamander:

Done, and I'll see to it all myself. Also... I like to give you information of a problem that we both face, This Dark Demon.

 

White Shark:

HIM... He's been causing all kinds of trouble for me, killing my men, attacking my money stashes, he's been stealing half my money and leaving the rest to the cops.

 

Salamander:

He's been causing trouble for us too, even came after me, but I got something from him. I got his name... the DarkShadow.

 

     Both Salamander and White Shark were silent after the DarkShadow's name was mentioned. White Shark grabbed a napkin and wiped his face.

 

White Shark: 

This is good. I'll have my men sweep the streets of New York in finding this punk. But what if he interferes with my shipments.

 

Salamander:

We already have something to take care of him.

 

     Salamander said, having a plan to deal with the DarkShadow, should he interfere with them.

 

     Later, three Hellfire members were in a parking garage trying to steal a blue Ferrari. When they unlocked and opened the door, one of them proceeded to go in. Just as he was halfway in, the DarkShadow popped up and kicked the door, slamming it on the Hellfire Member. He fell to the ground, his left arm and leg in pain. The DarkShadow then walked back as the other two charge at him and attacked him, but he blocked their punches and kicks. As he continued blocking their attacks he then bent down and spinned kicked them both by the feet, tripping them to the floor. One of them got back up and charge at DarkShadow again, he through a punch, but DarkShadow grabbed it and broke his arm, then got behind the Hellfire Member and snapped his neck. The Other Hellfire Member who was back up saw what happened and ran attempting to escape. The DarkShadow saw this and reached out his chain, grabbing him by the neck, he then pulled him, making him rise up and hit the pole bar attached to the ceiling and fell to floor unconscious. DarkShadow then walked to the Hellfire Member next to the Ferrari, who was still in pain but tried to get up. The DarkShadow knee kick him in the head making him hit the door, DarkShadow then grabbed him and lifted him up.

 

Hellfire Member #1: 

Uuuuh. What's you want man.

 

DarkShadow:

Salamander... where is he?

 

Hellfire Member #1:

I-I don't know.

 

     DarkShadow then started to punch the Hellfire Member in the face repeatedly, causing him to bleed from the mouth, noise and eye as well as his skin that was breaking open.

 

Hellfire Member:

Cough. Cough. Ok, ok, he's watching over a shipment of drugs. Please stop hitting me.

 

     The DarkShadow then moved his face closer to his.

 

DarkShadow:

Where?

 

     At a loading building, two semi truck trailer were being loaded with drugs, guarded by Hellfire, White Shark Gang Members and Salamander. Then two cops walked up to Salamander.

 

Salamander:

Is everything ready, we clear to move?

 

Cop #1:

Yeah, just follow at a safe distance and no one will suspect.

 

Salamander:

Good. ALRIGHT LET'SMOVE!

 

     Salamander said to everyone. Then just as a Hellfire Member was entering the truck, a chain grabbed him by the waist and pulled him away. Then the DarkShadow came up and attack two gang members knocking them out. The others saw him and started firing, He then picked up a gun and through it at one of them in the headed knocking him down, then started running, attacking any others that got in his path.

 

Salamander:

GET THE TRUCKS OUT OF HERE!

 

     Salamander was telling everyone when he notice the DarkShadow was here. One of the trucks then drove away along with the police cars, but the other one was still there, still needing a driver. Salamander tried to escape but the DarkShadow popped up in front of him. He then punched Salamander in the face knocking him down.

 

DarkShadow:

Now... Where were we.

 

     He said cracking his knuckles, walking up to Salamander who was still on the floor. As the DarkShadow was about to grab Salamander, a grenade rolled up to him and a small explosion came out, pushing the DarkShadow back and falling to the floor. A man then came walking up, DarkShadow looked to see who it was and saw him wearing a leathered armored suit with boots, a sword on his back, two handguns at his sides and the Greek symbol of  Zeta ( ζ ) on his right hand. Salamander taking the opportunity, got up, got in the truck and drove off and the DarkShadow watched him escaping.

 

Man #1:

I am, Hunter Zeta.

 

DarkShadow:

I don't care. Get out of my way.

 

     He said to Zeta, as he got up and face towards him.

 

Hunter Zeta:

Sorry but I can't, The Hellfire Gang has hired me to kill you.

 

DarkShadow:

You think you stand a chance?

 

Hunter Zeta:

I have been train by the best to Hunt many things on this earth.

 

DarkShadow:

So have I. The only difference is that I was train to just kill.

 

Hunter Zeta:

Then let's see which of us had the superior training.

 

     They both were locked on each others eyes, both not making the first move. Hunter Zeta closely moved his hands closer to his guns, the DarkShadow steady his chain. Hunter Zeta then quickly got his guns and started firing at DarkShadow, which he immediately dodge the bullets and swung his chain at him, but he dodge as well. The two were moving all over, swinging chain and bullets firing at one another. Hunter Zeta guns were then empty, so he tossed his guns and took out his sword and charge at DarkShadow. DarkShadow reached out his chain towards Hunter Zeta, but he dodge, continuing coming at him, DarkShadow retracted his chain back around his arm and used it as a guard when Zeta striked at him with his sword. The DarkShadow continued blocking Hunter Zeta's strikes with his chain, and countered as well by attacking him with his wrapped up chained arm but Zeta block his attack with his sword. He then bent down and spinned kick Zeta by the feet tripping him but Zeta jump up and dodged. Hunter Zeta then slam swung his sword at DarkShadow but he back flip away and then charge and jump kick at Zeta, but he blocked with his sword, DarkShadow then swung his extra leg at his head, but Hunter Zeta dodge his kick. As DarkShadow was landing he reached out his chain and grabbed Hunter Zeta's hand wielding the sword. DarkShadow then charge again at Hunter Zeta, punching him in the face, which he counter with a reverse elbow strike hitting his head. The two were then in a hand to hand combat, striking and blocking at each other, all the while DarkShadow was wrapping his Chain around Hunter Zeta. Once Hunter Zeta was wrapped enough by his chain, he lifted Hunter Zeta up and tossed him in the air. While Hunter Zeta was in the air and getting untangle from the chain he through another grenade at DarkShadow which exploded sending him flying and disarming him of his chain. DarkShadow fell to the floor hard, Hunter Zeta was standing getting the chain off him and walked towards DarkShadow who manage to get up, but on his knees.

 

Hunter Zeta:

You have greatly proven to be a worthy challenge, none have I or any of the others have face a being such as you.

 

     He said to the DarkShadow now standing right next to him looking down. Hunter Zeta then raised his word up to finish the DarkShadow off.

 

Hunter Zeta:

But in the end the superior warrior stands, it was your destiny to fall by me, but fear not your head will make an honorable trophy.

 

      As Hunter Zeta was preparing to strike with his sword, the DarkShadow heard the word "Destiny" in his head and images of a lab, being strap on a table, and a man on a control panel started flashing in his mind. As Hunter Zeta striked with his sword to finish him off, DarkShadow blocked it with his right arm but without his chain. Hunter Zeta struggled to push the blade through, then he saw it. The DarkShadow raised his head and his right eye started to glow dark like before, and his right arm started to release a dark aura. Hunter Zeta then disengaged and step back.

 

Hunter Zeta:

What the Hell.

 

     DarkShadow then rised up and his right arm started to twitched rapidly, as it began to transform, his arm started to transform into this demonic armored wide curve blade. DarkShadow roared and charge fast at Hunter Zeta and striked him with his blade, but Hunter Zeta blocked with his sword. DarkShadow continued striking at him with incredible speed, making it harder for Hunter Zeta to keep up. As DarkShadow striked faster and faster, he broke Hunter Zeta's sword, then sliced off his arm, and then spinned and impaled Hunter Zeta in the chest and lifted him up in the air.

 

Hunter Zeta:

D-d-d-Demon.

 

     Hunter Zeta said as his final word, he then died instantly. DarkShadow then tossed Hunter Zeta, falling to the floor, he then went to his knees and screamed in pain from his transformed arm as it reverted back to normal and his right eye went back to red. DarkShadow breathed heavily from the experienced, he then looked at the lifeless Hunter Zeta, then looked to his right arm which was shaking a bit. He then gripped his fist tightly, stopping the shaking then looked at the exit that Salamander drove off from. DarkShadow then rised, grabbed his chain and wrapped it around his right arm again and went to pursue Salamander.
