SHADOW

Episode 06: REUNION

(Two years later Sora is still training with Seth's clone while Saki has gone to stay with her mother.

An explosion occurs in the Shadow Realm and Seth goes to check it out)

Saito: (stands wielding a katana on both hands) Hello old friend

Seth: S-Saito? (startled)

Saito: It's good to see you again (grins craftily) I most admit this place has really changed

Seth: What are you doing here? What do you want?

Saito: Can't a guy greet an old buddy anymore? (sinister chuckle)

Seth: We both know why you came here is not just to say Hi (looks behind him) Your son has turned into a fine lad

Saito: (stares at him without emotion) And I suppose I should thank you for that eh? (laughs) Don't expect a thank you from me, Seth (strengthens grip on sword)

Seth: What I don't understand is why you denied your own blood (black matter starts to envelop beside him)

Saito: (sighs) You will never understand Seth

Seth: I will not let you have my Scythe Saito and you just took your last breathe (sticks his hands on the ground and mutters a word) Shadow Earth Spike (after he said those words black pointy spikes start emerging from the ground heading over to where Saito stands; this attack covers a wide range of area)

Saito: (opens a portal drawing out hundreds of spears and swords; he releases them all to counter Seth's attack) Same old tricks (Saito opens a portal behind Seth and then hundreds of spears come at him from the portal)

Seth: (Forms a five layered shadow wall behind himself blocking off all the spears and then throws a short Shadow knife st Saito)

Saito: (opens a portal in front of him as the knife goes into the portal then opens another one behind Seth as the knife flys back right at Seth along with loads of other swords and spears) Chew on that

Seth: (as the knife appears behind Seth he duplicates the knife matching the number of swords and spears fired at him) Since you want my Scythe so bad; I will let you have it (Seth charges up the blades of the scythe with his lightning element and releases it at Saito while he holds him down with a shadow vine)

Saito: (The lightning strikes him and he breaks through a wall. Saito stands and coughs up blood and then dashes with great speed at Seth opening a portal behind Seth and kicks him inside it; the portal closes and opens 300ft in the air and Seth falls out while thousands of weapons are been fired at him repeatedly from the portal. As he descend fast; he now has 150ft left)

Seth: (As Seth is falling, he turns facing the portal and forms a big fire ball in midair and blasts the portal and the weapons destroying it. He turns again facing his front preparing to land. As Seth is close to hitting the ground he yells a word) Shadow Leap (He disappears and emerges from beneath a tree shadow crashing through a couple of trees)

Saito: Am surprised you came out of that with just bruises... Well that's expected of my rival (smirks)

Seth: (Another Seth was still falling from the sky: he forms the Shadow Universal Bomb: A huge black Shadow Energy Ball forms around his right hand as his long sleeve shirt is been torn by the energy the ball gives off. Seth with full speed from falling blast Saito with the ball)

Saito: What? (pulls out a ten layered shield from his portal as Seth's technique breaks all the layers of the shield except the last one but Saito's right hand was left completely useless from the impact and power of the technique)

Seth: The me that blasted you was a clone I made while I blasted the portal in midair. The blast created a diversion for me to create the clone (groans in pain as he tries to get up)

Saito: I see (Dashes to Seth as he delivers a cross kick and fires a spear at him)

Seth: (Evades his attack as he delivers a kick on Saito's stomach which sends him flying)

Saito: (Lands on the ground and quickly gets up and runs to Seth delivering series of punches on his chin and then opens a portal pulling out a chin from there; he throws the chain which caught the feet of Seth and then he slams him three times on the ground before throwing him off to hit a wall)

Seth: (Stands up as blood runs down his head. He dashes and performs an air slice)

Saito: (Pulls out a sword and clashes with Seth's scythe)

Seth: (Faces the tip of the scythe at Saito as he shoots out a mini shadow ball from the tip hitting Saito at close range)

Saito: (The blast sends him flying and crashing through couple of trees. He stands up as one part of his hand is drenched in blood)

Seth:(Battle cries and runs at Saito and performs the shadow leap appearing in front of Saito and kicks his knee on his stomach and gives him an uppercut)

Saito: (Spits out blood as Seth hits him on the stomach and he flys from being hit by Seth,in midair he launches a giant spear from his portal at Seth)

Seth: (Uses his Scythe to deflect the spear but as his scythe comes in contact with the giant spear; it explodes and Seth falls at his feet)

Saito: (Groans in pain as he kneels looking at Seth with half of his face and arm drenched in blood)

Seth: (Kneels smirking at Saito)

Saito: We're all messed up and you still have the strength to smirk?

Seth: Yeah cause you are about to lose an arm or more. Shadow Body Explosion Spike (As he yells out those words the right hand of Saito starts to glow and pointy spikes stick out from his body covering his right hand)

Saito: (Before Saito could counter the attack Seth has already made the spikes to go off now Saito cuts off his arm and kicks it away. He cut off his arm in time before it blew)

Seth: I see you cut off your own arm. Well that was the only way to counter the attack (coughs out blood continuously)

Saito: You planted that Shadow on me when you hit me with that uppercut (holds the hand he cut off as blood drips from it) Clever one Seth (falls face front to the ground as his right hand bleed from being cut off)

Seth: I guess it's over (wraps shadow vine around Saito's body)

Saito: Who said it's over? (opens his eyes as the vines disappear; he opens a big portal as a golden sword with grip, handguard with a spiral shape and a drill shaped pillar made up of two independently rotating segments engraved with crimson cuneiform lettering that spin slowly in alternating directions and the other segment that spins clockwise; the golden sword drills into the soil of the Realm and starts giving out humming sound) This sword has the ability to absorb the Shadows in this Realm and it takes 20sec to fully charge and then it explodes destroying everything and everyone in the Realm

Seth: (holds him by the shirt) Disarm it now or else I will kill you

Saito: Even if you kill me; Ex Calibur will still destroy this Realm, Seth (evil laugh) So Seth which one do you choose; kill me and watch your precious home perish or find a way to disarm it (hysterical evil laugh)

Seth: This is your son's home, you can still change Saito. Do it for your son. He needs you

Saito: So he survived, lucky him. Anyways Seth I don't have a son. I was horny and I f****d me a good p***y (smirks)

Seth: (Grinds teeth and punch Saito. Seth staggers over to where Ex Calibur is and stands placing a hand on it)

Saito: There's nothing else you can do old friend (chuckles evilly)

Seth: (smiles) I will gladly give up my life for the people I love (He bends over channeling all his energy through his body as a black beam shoots up into the sky turning everywhere black and then he mumbles a word) Shadow (His whole body turns into a living Shadow. The sword reaches its limits and sends out huge shockwave and explodes but Seth was able to take all the energy into himself as his eyes, nose and mouth starts to glow and his shadow body starts to become luminous, the energy he is absorbing starts to pull him up and Seth discharges the energy into the sky before falling to his knees unable to move with his left hand burnt off and left side of his face starts to fell off)

Saito: (Staggers to Seth) You got rid of my attack but take a look at yourself. Seth the greatest Shadow Master huh? Pffft...What a joke (stands in front of Seth with a spear)

Takashi: What was that? (On his way to the battle scene)

Seth: My role is just to pave the way for new generations; just as old leaves fall out of a tree branch and later serve as a manure for young leaves. I will make sure there's a future for the young ones, even if that means sacrificing my own life. Life without sacrifices is nothing (coughs trying to breath)

Saito: Goodbye old friend (stabs the spear in Seth's heart)

Seth: (Smiling at him as blood runs out from his mouth and he falls on his face)

Saito: (coughs out blood as he falls on his feet holding the arm he cut off, blood dripping down from it and he's slowly starting to lose his consciousness. He rips off his shirt and ties it on the arm to stop the bleeding) At long last you will be mine

Takashi: (appears and lands a heavy kick on Saito's face sending him crashing through walls) Stay away from the scythe boy (forms a shadow barrier around it and turns facing Saito)

Saito: (comes out from the broken walls with blood all over his body) I guess I will come next time for it.

Takashi: I won't let you escape (fires dozen of shadow ball at Saito)

Saito: Say hello to my boy for me (opens a portal and disappears as the balls miss him)

Takashi: (turns holding Seth) Come on boy wake up

Seth: (opens one eye) Ta-ka-shi? (coughs out blood)

Takashi: Don't say anything kid (tries to lift him up)

Seth: (holds him) Hear me out

Takashi: No kid. Saki and Sora will soon be back; and they still need you

Zeth: I- (struggles to speak but blood runs out from his mouth) Sora... Give... Scythe...To (pointing at the scythe and dies)

Takashi: (Grips his hand as he screams in pain)
