The Shadow, the Sword, and the Scorpion

The Dark Ages, year 1480 AD.

Darkness has fallen across the land upon the world. Dark clouds turned day into night. The valleys and hillsides were now covered with scorched trees and burnt meadows, the lakes and rivers dried, and crops and livestock die out. Earthquakes shook the land with tremendous force, cracking open the earth, creating fissures deep enough for fires to rise up and spread across the valley. Creatures of unspeakable terror, ravaged the inhabitants of the villages within the landscape, devouring and destroying everything anything in their path. And dimensional tears of another world began to form, allowing dark creatures of that world to come into this one.

And all of this was due to the conflict of two powerful beings that should never have met. Right in the center of the valley within the carnage, two beings were locked in a deadly, fierce battle for the ages. One of them was a shadow-like being with white soulless eyes, wearing black armor and a black cloak. The other look like he is half man-half-goat. With blue skin, white beard and hair. What made him stand out was his large, blue goat-like horns sharp enough to tear a person, and his goat legs. But what made him more intriguing, his that he wore dark navy blue battle armor, and a strange-looking bell he wore on his chest plate.

The two had battled for hours upon hours, attacking each other with their strongest magical attacks, but none would overpower the other.

"You've caused enough distress upon the land, you foul demon! Now cease this senseless slaughter and return from the dark realm from whence you came or suffer a terrible fate far worse than death!" the black-armored being exclaimed with anger and determination.

"What makes you think I'd ever listen to an inferior being who's far beneath me?! This land and all its inhabitants are mine to command! And I will not have you interfering with my destiny! This world will kneel to me, even if I have to reduce it into a wasteland of nothingness!" the ram demon argued back.

The black-armored warrior growled with anger and soon summons a sword in his hand with his shadow magic, and leaps towards the evil faunus and swings his blade at him. But the faunus dodged the attack and soon grabs a large devilish battle axe from his back and runs to strike at his powerful foe. The two clash their weapons against each other, locking them both in a standoff as they stare into each others eyes with hate.

"I'm going to enjoy myself when I rip you and this entire world into bits!" snarled the demon ram, flashing a jagged, toothy grin.

“Not if I tear you apart FIRST!” the black knight rebutted with a smirk of his own, then the two lept back with their weapons and then clashed again. Soon the faunus demon found an opening and then lands a fatal blow at the black knight, leaving a large slash on his face and chest.

The knight reels back from the attack and turns towards his enemy. As he did, his supposed-to-be fatal wound began to heal instantly, putting a shocked look on the faunus’s face.

“What the hell are you!?” The demon faunus growled in rage.

The black knight replied with a smirk on his face as his wound fully healed, like the cut wasn’t there in the first place. “Better.” he said as he charged at the demon and clashed weapons with him again. This time, the black knight moved at higher speeds, not giving the demon ram a chance to counterstrike. In a matter of moments, he landed a fatal slash onto his chest area, knocking his blade against the bell.

"I will make you pay for that!" the ram growled demonically, his red eyes glowing brighter. He charged at the black knight with indiscriminate fury, swinging his battle axe recklessly. The knight does the same, with his sword steady in his hand, ready to strike at the demon. As the two drew closer to delivering their strongest attack, a beam of light shot down from the skies and hits directly between the charge path of the two beings, pushing them back 10 feet away from each other. Later the light disappeared and in the place where it impacted, was a very beautiful woman.

Her sapphire eyes sparkled with life and hope. She wore a golden crown upon her noble brow which had 5 different-colored jewels embedded in it. Atop her crown was a pink, six-pointed star and had gorgeous, purple hair. Her skin was a velvety-white color, slightly purple. Her dress was violet and had the same jewels embedded on each part of the skirt area and a golden, see-through sash resting on her arms. Upon the chest area of her dress was a white, six-pointed star in the middle.

This woman radiated a beautiful, sparkling aura all around her body, but her calm, composed look only masked her immeasurable fury towards the demon who laid waste to the world.

"Agony, pain, suffering, despair and death. I can no longer stand idly by while you torment my precious land and this innocent world with your evil ways… Grogar," the woman said in a low tone, summoning a small fraction of her magic into the palm of her hand.

"No… it can't be! Harmony, the goddess herself?!" said the demon ram, slightly trembling. "I thought you were just a mere legend!"

"Think what you may, but it's time I put a stop to your evil deeds. Magnus… you've done me proud with your valiant effort in trying to defend this world. I shall take it from here," Harmony said, overflowing with powerful magic.

The black knight lowers onto his knees, with his sword planted firmly on the ground, bowing his head to the goddess. “As you wish, m’lady.” he replied as he slowly sinks into the shadow casted by the dark clouds in the sky, and later vanished from where he stood.

"Now then… to do what I should've done… SO LONG AGO!" Harmony aimed her magic at Grogar and unleashed a powerful flashing beam his way. Grogar used his own magic to try and ward off her attack. However, Grogar's magic had grown weak and limited from his endless struggle with Magnus. Harmony had him right where she wanted. "With all my power, I hereby strip you of all your magic and banish you back into the depths of hell from whence you came!"

The goddess unleashed an ever stronger wave of magic and eventually overpowered the evil demon ram. "No! This can't be! I CANNOT BE BEATEN!!! NO! NOO!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" Grogar shouted as her magic engulfed him, draining him of his power and sending him straight back to hell, along with all of his demonic minions. Harmony then used her powers to seal up the portal to hell for good.

"It is done," she said to herself. Then she looks over at the carnage that the land of the world she’s now in and the several portals that expose her home world to this one. “And now to repair the damage.” She calls upon her magic once more and sends out waves of her magic aura across the land, reversing the damage that had it had endured. Trees and meadows replenished, lakes and rivers were now flowing with clear waters, and the cracks with the earth were shrinking until they were none to be seen. Harmony watches over her handy work and smiles to see this valley granted it’s beauty once again.

The surviving people who witnessed the rebirth of their homelands all gathered together and thanked the goddess for restoring peace.

"We don't know how we can repay you for what you've done. We are indebted to you," one of the villagers said, groveling to Harmony. The rest of the villagers all groveled as well, thanking her who knows how many times.

"Your gratitude is all that is needed. But I am not the only one who helped. You all have the Lord of Shadows to thank for valiantly fighting against the dark lord. He deserves your praise as much as I do, if not much more."

“But where his he, miss?” A young village child asked her. Before Harmony could answer, she looks over to a nearby forest, she sees the Lord of Shadow standing near the opening of one of the trees, before he stepped back into the darkness of the forest, disappearing into the shadows, and was gone. The goddess felt sorrow for him, knowing how much pain and betrayal these humans caused upon him. Maybe one day, he might find happiness once more… and maybe even love in the distant future. Harmony turns towards the child that asked her a while ago, and finally gave her answer.

“I don’t know, young one? Somewhere out there, continuing his duty to the land.”

Canterlot City, Present day.

Inside this humble 2-story house, there lived a young, married couple who was sleeping soundly in their bedroom. On the right side of the bed was a man with fiery red hair, bright orange skin and blue eyes, though no one could see them since he was still sleeping. He was known as Inferno Blaze. Next to him was a beautiful young woman with bacon-colored hair and bright yellow skin and sparkling turquoise eyes. Her name is Sunset Shimmer, Inferno's kind and loving wife.

This married couple continued to sleep soundly until suddenly, their phone alarms went off, waking them both up, groaning. Inferno reaches his hand towards his phone and firmly press the snooze button, silencing the alarm. He then sits upwards from his sleeping position revealing his bare chest from the bed covers. But not only that, it also revealed another thing that he gained. A year after the party at AJ’s barn, Inferno had grown a faint goatee beard on his face. After he yawns for a second, he turns to his sleeping wife and smiles. He soon lowers onto her, cuddling her body. “Wake up my little Sunset, the sun has just risen, so should you.” he whispered into her ear.

She groaned and snuggled deeper into her blankets. "Can't time stand still for another hour or two, I'm still a bit tired."

“Oh really,” Inferno said in curiosity and soon comes up with an idea. He reaches his hand underneath Sunset's blanket and brings it to one of her huge breasts, and begins to grope it. Causing her to moan by his touch. “Cause it kinda sounds like you’re not that tired.”

"Okay, you win, I'm up," she chuckled before sitting up, yawning. Also revealing her breast out of the covers, showing that she had been sleeping naked last night, and every night since. She turns to her husband and gives him a loving smile. “Good morning to you, ‘Furno.”

“And good morning to you, Sunny.” He replied as the couple gives each other a morning kiss. And later they were then interrupted when their bedroom door is opened, causing Sunset to cover herself with her blanket. When the door fully opened, the person that opened it revealed to be none other than their 6 year old daughter Lily Rose. Who looked fully dressed up and is wearing a backpack for some reason.

“Morning daddy! Morning mommy!” She cheerfully said.

"Hi, sweetheart. Why are you dressed like that?" Inferno asked.

"Did you forget already, daddy? It's time for me to go to school. I was waiting for you to wake up and get ready so you could drive me, but you were still asleep and… mommy, why are you covering yourself up in the blankies and not daddy?" Lily asked.

“Nothing sweetie! Just a little cold that’s all.” Sunset replied with a blush, hoping that her daughter would fall for her statement.

"Are you sure you're cold? Because you look like you have a fever from how much you're blushing right now," Lily pointed out.

“Yes, a fever… that’s about it.” Sunset replied again.

“Alright young lady, go brush your teeth and eat your breakfast. I’ll give you a ride to school. Now please close the door.” Lily nodded before closing the door and skipping downstairs into the kitchen. Inferno then gets off the bed to put on his clothes and shoes. Sunset sighs in relief as she flops onto the bed with her breasts out from the covers again. “That was a close one.” she said.

“Too close.” Inferno replied as he puts on his leather jacket and walks over to his side of the bed to grab his phone. “I mean it’s not your fault that you like sleeping naked because you’re from another world. Believe me, I’m not judging… at all. If I did, I'd punch myself.” he stated as he walks over to Sunset’s side of the bed. Sunset giggles at his statement just as he was now next to her bedside.

"You're sweet, honey. Now hurry up and get dressed so you can take our princess to school." Sunset said.

“Okay,” he replied with a chuckle, but not before giving his lovely wife a kiss on the lips before he left the bedroom. “Love ya.”

"I love you too, honey," Sunset said. Now that her husband has given her some privacy, she took this time to get out of bed and stretched out her sexy, naked body. She walked over to the mirror, admiring her physique. Motherhood did wonders on her body, filling out her breasts by a single cup and making her buns a size bigger, too.

Before she could fall in love with herself, she went over to her closet and picked out some of her clothes, putting on a long-sleeve button-up purple shirt. She then took out her red panties from her drawers and put them on before putting on a matching skirt.

"Alrighty, now I'm ready to--" but before she could go out and do her job, she took another look in the mirror, realizing her hair is still messy and unkempt. "...ready to fix this pillow head," she said, feeling her messy hair.

***

After leaving the bedroom, Inferno walks right down stairs into the kitchen of his family’s house, and yes they got a new house. Inferno and Sunset received a surprising paycheck during their daily works that it was enough for them to move out of their old apartment and and get a house. And it was amazing and cozy, perfect for the couple to raise their daughter. As Inferno arrived into the kitchen, he sees Lily at the kitchen table, along with her favorite aunt and Sunset’s lovely sister, Snowdrop. Lily was having pancakes and orange juice, while Snowdrop was having tea and oatmeal.

Inferno walks up to the kitchen counter, grabbed a mug from the upper pantry, and pours himself a cup of coffee. After the hot coffee had filled his cup to the tip, Inferno places back the coffee container on the counter and takes a sip from his mug, just as Sunset walks into the kitchen. Her hair was all fixed up, all fresh and clean and walked up to Inferno.

"I'll be seeing you later on tonight, honey. Make sure you don't get hurt," Sunset said, giving him a big hug.

“I won’t. Good luck at work.” Inferno replied.

"You too. I love you," Sunset replied before kissing Inferno once more. They are greeted by the sound of Lily gagging from the table by their kiss.

“Mommy, Daddy, could you not do that on my first day back at school.” Lily said.

“Its their job, Lily. To embarrass you at the right moment.” Snowdrop giggled.

"And just to make sure no one is left out," Sunset goes over to Lily and hugs and kisses her on her cheek. "Mommy loves you sweetie."

"I love you too, mommy," Lily said.

"Have a good day at work, sis. Keep writing those comics," Snowdrop said.

“Thanks Snowdrop. See you all later.” Sunset responded for the last time before she walked out the front door. As she left the house, Inferno places his empty cup into the dishwasher and then walks towards the table, grabbing Lily’s backpack and lunch box from the counter. “C’mon princess, let’s get ya to school.” he said.

“Okay daddy, bye Aunt Snowdrop!” Lily said as she got up from the table and followed Inferno to the front door. Snowdrop locked the door for them since she doesn't start class until noon. Inferno loaded up his precious little lady into the back seat, then got in the driver's seat. He started up the engine and drove off.

"Are you excited for your first day, princess?" Inferno asked.

“Yes, I am. Think we might see Uncle Heat and my friends there?” Lily asked her father.

“Definitely, I’m sure they’re psyched to see you there too.” Inferno replied.

"Daddy… what if the kids at school are mean to me?" Lily asked, suddenly feeling a bit scared.

“Don’t worry honey, you won’t be alone at school. You’ve got your friends going with you. Especially Aria's boys. Aunt Aria and uncle Eternal taught those boys a lesson they'll definitely take to heart: If someone starts trouble with them or you or any of their siblings and friends, they should finish it," Inferno said. “And if that doesn’t force the bullies away, well you’re lovable daddy will devour their souls.”

"No need to go that far, just… scare them a bit," Lily said.

"Of course. But no promises.” Inferno replied.

The ride continued for another few minutes until they reached the front of the school. "Well, here we are, honey. Make sure you got all your stuff packed," he said.

"They are, daddy," Lily said. Soon, they both got out of the car and walked up the pathway where they saw their friends and children. Inferno recognized his old high school friends, Twilight Sparkle and Heat Blitz. These two have been married for 4 years now and couldn't be more happier, especially now that they got their own family to take care of. Twilight and Heat both had a daughter of their own and a little boy, but he won't be in 1st grade until next year.

Heat's and Twilight's little girl was Harmony Sparkle, a young prodigy who's the little ray of sunshine in their life. Their son, Burning Sparkle, is a little mischievous than most boys. He's one of those nerdy boys who tries to invent things to pay back his bullies tenfold. So far, only 2 have tried to mess with him.

And next to this married couple was Heat's older brother, Eternal Flames. His wives are the Dazzlings, but they couldn't bring their kids to school because of their early shifts at work. Standing on his left are his twin daughters, Serenade Dazzle and Searing Melody, both from Adagio Dazzle. To his right are his twin sons, Tenor Flames and Soprano Blaze, Aria's boys. And standing in front of him is his son, Baritone Scorcher and his daughter, Moonlight Sonata, whom are Sonata's kids.

"Hi everybody!" Lily waved, running towards her friends.

"Hi, Lily!" Harmony said, running over to hug her best friend. "Are you ready for an exciting first day of school?"

“Yeah, I am!” Lily replied.

"How have things been going with you and Sunset, Inferno?" Heat asked as he and Inferno share a bro hug after seeing each other again after the party at Applejack’s farm a year ago.

“Pretty good. I mean six quiet years here in Canterlot City, best years of our lives.” Inferno replied. "How have you and Twilight been getting along?"

"Very nicely. Though, we've had to have a chat with our son recently," Heat replied. "We've had to… well… give him a talk or two about his recent actions."

"Uh-oh, what's he done this time?" Inferno asked.

"In Kindergarten, these two random boys buried his favorite toy in the sand box and kicked sand in his face. He lashed out at them by nearly drowning them using a couple of fire extinguishers. And he kicked them around and threw sand in their mouths," Twilight said.

Inferno’s eyes widen with surprise and was jaw-dropped after hearing what Twilight had said.

“Are we sure he’s not really your brother’s son?” Inferno asked Heat. And then a thought came to his mind. “Oh wait. Speaking of your brother… Hey Eternal!” He shouted out to Heat’s older brother, who was walking in their direction.

"Nice to see you're doing pretty well for yourself. Still busting criminals out there?" Eternal asked, walking up to him and bro-hugging him.

“Not really. Seems that nobody wants to commit a crime as long as I walk on the streets’” Inferno replied. “How ‘bout you? What’s the record today?” He asked.

"22 matches, 22 wins by knockout. I've made 2 of my opponents retire. You should've seen their satisfied smiles after the fights ended," Eternal said.

"As if there was any doubt that dad could ever lose to those guys," Tenor Flames bragged.

“Damn Eternal. You keep knocking out guys, then I'll have to arrest ya.” Inferno stated jokely. The two then laughed for a bit after the joke and later focused on their daily agenda: waving their kids goodbye so they could start off their school day.

"Alright, now you behave yourself and have a great day at school, okay sweetheart?" Heat asked, giving his daughter a big hug.

"I will, daddy. Thank you," Harmony said.

"And as for you kids," Eternal said to his 6 children. "Be sure to stick together and help each other out. If anyone tries to cause you trouble, keep their punishment at a minimum. And don't hypnotize any of the other kids, understood?" he asked. His children all nodded and gave him a big group hug. "Take care of each other."

After the parents all bid their kids goodbye, they allowed them to walk inside the school while the parents left to start their daily work routines.

Lily and Harmony lead the group to their proper classrooms. Thanks to their parents, they all received the same school schedule, meaning they wouldn't be separated. "These hallways are pretty long," Lily said.

"Not to worry, Lily. Mommy read me a book on how to handle our first day at grade school. She prepared herself for these sort of things when she was a little girl like me," Harmony said.

"Hah! Auntie Twilight… once an egghead, always an egghead," Soprano commented.

"Hey, no talking about my mommy that way!" Harmony exclaimed, snapping at one of Aria's boys, making him shrug.

"Don't be so hard on him, Harmony. I'm sure it's his way of complimenting Twi-Twi," Lily said. “Besides, my daddy is a genius himself.” She said proudly.

"And he and our daddy make the best tacos," Moonlight Sonata added.

“Whoa! Whoa! Lily, c’mon. Your dad is too much of a tough guy, besides our dad, to be an egghead!” Tenor responded in disbelief.

"Just because he's more muscle, doesn't mean he doesn't have a lot of brains. He found a way to balance his mind and body so he could work better to support auntie Sunset and Lily. Burning Sparkle would agree with me on that," Harmony said.

"Speaking of Burning, why did he hurt those bullies?" Lily asked.

"He's always mean to others who are mean to him first. He's even wanting to be a scientist like that freaky kid in that show he always watches," Harmony said.

"What show?" Lily asked.

"Dr. Stone," Harmony said.

"What?! Dude, that's awesome!" Tenor said.

"No, it's weird. The boy in the show needs a major haircut. It's bad enough to hear him say "Get excited," but now Burning is saying it, too," Serenade Dazzle said.

"It's only a matter of time before he winds up alone and friendless," Searing Melody said, rather coldly, making Harmony mad.

"Hey, no talking bad about my brother!" Harmony said. "Besides, I haven't told mom and dad about how he started acting like this." she said. "Now come on, let's get to classes before we're late on our first day."

Right away, the kids ran off to their classrooms and sat down just in time for the bell to ring.

Meanwhile, in another school, a lone, 5 year old boy sat in a circle with the other kids… who are tilting away from him, scared of him.

"Alright, class. For today's circle time, we will be talking about what we like about each other. And when we finished talking about said person, we roll this ball to that person so they can have a chance to talk about the good things about one of you. Then roll the ball to that person and so on, are we clear?" Gloriosa asked cheerfully.

Gloriosa had volunteered to be a teacher at Canterlot Kindergarten since her brother is getting close to being off parole. The tragedy that struck 6 years ago still shook Gloriosa to her core, but now that he's getting better, she's getting better, too. And so is Camp Everfree.

Right now, Gloriosa looked at all the kids sitting in a circle, all wanting her to pass the ball to them… except for little Burning Sparkle, Twilight Sparkle's and Heat Blitz' son. He merely stared calmly at Gloriosa with those big, lavender eyes.

"Burning Sparkle… what I like about you… is your creativity when it comes to the stuff you make from building blocks and play-dough. Seeing you build things like that skyscraper.." Gloriosa pointed at the picture on the wall of Burning was standing next to the Empire State Building he made out of building blocks. "...it warms my heart to see how far you'll go." she finished.

"Thank you, Ms. Daisy," Burning smiled, liking her praise. Gloriosa rolled the ball towards the little genius and he looked around to see who he should roll it to. All the kids wanted to scooch away from him, still afraid of what he might do. "You there…" he pointed at one of the little girls.

She had long, teal blue hair with green eyes and black skin. She had a cute green and blue dress on showed off her cuteness.

"M-M-Me?" she asked, trembling a little.

"Yeah. Danaus, was it?" Burning asked.

"Y-Yes, umm… w-w-what is it?" Danaus stuttered, hiding behind her hair.

"I like the way you sing to yourself. You could wow the crowd with your pretty singing voice," Burning said happily.

"What?! Y-You… you heard me singing?" Danaus blushed heavily.

"Yeah, you should sing more often. I don't see why you're so embarrassed about it," Burning said before rolling the ball towards her. The little girl caught it with a giggle and looked around the circle. Her eyes land on this pretty little girl with long, blonde and blue hair with matching blue eyes and bright yellow skin.

"Glistening Light," Danaus called out. "I like pretty you look every day in all those new dresses you wear when you come here. You look just like a princess."

"Thank you," Glistening said, smiling brightly. Danaus then rolled the ball to the lovely young lady, who quickly caught the ball. It didn't take long for all the boys, minus Burning, to wave their hands up for her to pick them. "Hmm, decisions, decisions…" she said to herself.

While the kids were enjoying their time at school, Inferno was hanging out with his squadmates, having a nice hot cup 'o Joe. With crime rates in the city dropped dramatically at 97%, there was not much to do at the CPD. But that didn’t stop Inferno from always preparing himself for when an evil should arise.

"Lets face it, Inferno. Canterlot City's been quiet for quite some time now. The people know they're in good hands because of you," Shining said before sipping his latte.

“Nawww, it's not just me. I like to think that my squad did most of the credit than I did.” Inferno said modestly. Even with 6 years in the SWAT team and his former years in the US military, Inferno still always give his teams most of the credit than him. True, with his powers, he could track down and bust criminals, but that's not his style.

No, in all of his time, he would always scope out criminals, learn where they are and search all possible escape routes. He'll even snipe them just to disarm them while he lets his SWAT team do the busting. Of course there was one time he was convinced to take credit when he sniped a serial killer who murdered a young child two months ago, while he was driving a stolen car. Inferno believed it was a Hennessey Venom GT, though he didn’t know where the killer stole it from. But he still remembered when he stared into that bastard’s eyes, who looked right back at him with fear, just before he devoured his soul before he could die from the gunshot. He didn’t deserve the afterlife to begin with, nor did he deserve to be born.

After that event, Inferno told his squad that the killer died from the gunshot wound along with the aftermath of the car crash. He never did told them what really happened, and it was for the best. Besides how would you feel if the person you're working with can have the ability to shadow jump and devour souls? That would complicate things

But other than that one time, Inferno made sure his squadmates were credited just as much as he was. Canterlot has been so peaceful that people even feel comfortable about walking the streets at night. And since then, not so many criminals were willing to risk their freedom and started resorting to getting jobs in general labor. It was a tough job, but they had no choice.

However, there was one particular hidden syndicate that was planning their attack. One that remained at #1 of Inferno’s list of termination: The Sons of Sombra. It has been over 6 years and mysteriously there hasn't been any signs of activity of the terrorists. Many of the town believed that they had finally left town months ago. But not to Inferno, no. He still believed they were out there, continuing to plan their next move.

And who would've guessed that day came sooner than expected.

Stationed at a closed carpark just on the edge of the city, which had been empteid for quite some time. The terrorists syndicate, known as the Sons of Sombra, were loading up the last of their crates weapons and explosives into civilian vans that they had required over the years, being careful not to detonate any of them too soon.

"Are the preparations ready?" their leader asked, also known as Silver Scorpion to his troops. None of them had seen what he looked like cause of the silver helmet that covered his face. Many of them never dared asked him to remove it or do it themselves, not wanting to face his wrath.

"Ready and waiting, sir. We're all set to put our plan into action," said one of the troops, while barely showing any signs of fear towards Silver.

"Good. Now, remember to make sure that these vehicles blend in with the rest of traffic. We don't want to attract any attention. We'll exit the hideout one van at a time. When you've reached your destinations, plant the explosives, then head outside the buildings while I do carry on the rest of our mission." Silver explained, then later dismissed his troops to begin the task at hand.

The troops all saluted Scorpion before rolling out in their vans. As ordered, each troop waited one at a time until each previous troop parked their van in a specific location in the city. This took about 25 to 30 minutes to complete. Longer due to them avoiding attention from public eye.

Once they were in position, they remained idle as a precaution. "Good. Once the sun is nearly out of view, we put our plan into action. Do not fail me," he commanded to the troops through the head sets.

Silver looks out from the rooftop of a building, admiring the view of the city below him. Soon his gaze turns toward the mountains miles away from the city as the sun was lowering behind them, and the skies turn darker as the night was approaching. Soon his years of planning will finally be worth it, and he will soon claim his targets that he has kept eyes on for 6 years.

“Now Inferno Blaze, your time of peace… has come to an end.”
