Rise of the Night/Run of Night

They had found the warehouse at the docks. Shiva peered though the scope on the rifle. There were several men armed with standard private police gear.

“Yea I can give you boys cover but the moment you enter that warehouse your on your own.” she said still looking thought the scope.

“Figured. Still one of our family is in there and we don't abandon family.” Congo said checking his assault rifle.

“I'll go in first. I'll use my Nightmare armor to smash my way int there. Congo Shiva raise as much hell as you can. Once I find her I'll teleport out and send a signal flare for your retreat. I will leave a message of bloody slaughter to prove a point. They will regret waging war on us.” Shadow said looking over the docks for weak points. Congo handed him the signal flare and gave a good luck nod. Shadow dropped off the roof of the build sticking to the shadows.

“The Nightmare armor won't be able to stop all the bullets. It may be strong but it isn't indestructible and since we're gonna slaughter them all you might as well let me help.” Nightmare whisper in his head.

'Nightmare just focus on keeping the armor up I'll worry about the bullets.' he thought back as his skin turned black being coated with the fragments power creating the armor. It covered him head to toe and he looked like something from a nightmare. He finally stepped into the light across from the dock. The guards sudden got into formation as he slowly walked towards the warehouse.

“Halt by order of the council no one is permitted to pass.” one of them yelled out to him.

“The fools have no clue who they are fighting or what kind of slaughter they will be a part of.” she whispered. He started to rush forward as Shiva and Congo opened fire on the guards from the nearby buildings. Bullets ricocheted off of the armor covering his skin and he soon came into range of the guards. Ice magic formed in his right hand as he made a slashing motion and icicles emerged from the ground, impaling several of them. He crashed right though the hole of men while Congo and Shiva picked off the remaining men. He didn't feel guilt nor mercy. He was in a war now and during a war those emotions only got you killed.

He crashed thought the front door of the warehouse only to find it wasn't designed like normal warehouses. There were several rooms and it looked like he went down into the water some thirty feet. Guards started to pour out of random rooms and he rushed forward. He formed claws of shadow and ice as he tore through them like they were pieces of paper. When the guards started to flee he grabbed the nearest one and slammed him into the wall.

“There was a girl brought here, a lupus. Where is she?” he asked in a cold yet angry voice.

“Sub level three. She was brought here to be interrogated by some payed for interrogator.” he answered with fear in his eyes. Shadow dropped the man.

“If you want to live, leave this city and never come back. For if we find you, I will kill you myself.” he said as he started for the stairs. He finally made it to his sub level three and started looking around for Lyla in the various rooms. He started to hear some whispers. He peered around a corner to see someone who he thought he would never see again. The man who tortured him in the past was the same man who was torturing Lyla.

“Fucking dog bitch. Next time I get in there I'm gonna rape her. She's resisted all of the methods so far. However she isn't Shadowstep nor is he coming. From what I been told We been attacked by a monster cloaked in black. However even if Shadowstep shows up I can handle some punk ass sergeant.” the man whispered into a phone. Shadow stepped out from the corner and into view.

“Well I was told we were attacked by some kind of fucking freak. Looks like your it huh?” he said mockingly.

“You know I still haven't forgotten the day you and your partner tortured me.” he said dropping the armor to show the man who he was.

“Oh ho so the sergeant is the freak? This must be my lucky day. I bag you off for the council and I get the dog bitch all to myself.” he said full of cheer.

“Sergeant? Wow your information is seriously outdated. I haven't been a sergeant for 4 years. I'm a captain now. Well I was before I faked my death. Now I'm gonna kill you for what you have done to her.” Shadow said moving closer to him. The man chuckled and pulled a knife out from behind him. He smiled thinking he could win this fight, however he had never seen Shadow in action before. The man rushed forward slashing wildly trying to connect the knife to the flesh. However Shadow moved with a raging swiftness that moved him through the wild knife barrage and formed a knife of ice in his right hand. He placed the knife in the back of the man's knee and he howled in pain and agony. The man brought the knife with a feral swing into Shadow's right arm but he barely noticed the pain from the cut along the arm. He pulled the knife out and plunged it deep into the mans shoulder and the man dropped the knife. He picked up the knife with his left hand and planted it deep into the mans jaw he then shoved the man down and the man laid there gurgling in his own blood. He went over to the room the man was in front to see the back of Lyla's head. He opened the the door quickly to run over to her.

“Lyla! Lyla can you focus on me. Come on Lyla focus.” he whispered. Her face was covered in cuts and brushes. Her left arm was bleeding a lot. He quickly under her bindings and picked her up in her arms. He teleported to the roof of the warehouse and with one hand he shot the signal flare into the sky. He then teleported back to his house laying Lyla on his bed.

“She is hurt very badly. I know what your thinking and even with my power it could take a couple of years of your natural life.” she whispered.

'I know but please just for once help me' he thought back grasping her left hand noticing the wrist was broken. Shadowy tendrils moved across his skin and moved onto hers, healing the broken bones, cuts and brushes. Healing magic by itself was difficult but to do a lot of it at once. Well only powerful magic users could manage it and with Nightmare Moon's help he managed to heal her. However healing her left him drained and he slowly collapsed onto the bed next to her with his head near her hand.
