For an English essay I once did a Shadowman story. But it only was a few pages long. But I have changed it, and made it longer. This is a VERY long read, but it is good. (I recommend you copy and paste it in a word processor, then save it for later reading) I will be adding more of the story later. When I write it.
Chapter 1: The Beginning
In the dark city of Los Angles, a secret has been kept since 1984, the arrival of Shadow man! People heard about a 'Shadow Man' in the 1880's, but they believed in that story as much as they do in having good daytime television! But a tragic incident happened to Shadow man, his brother Luke, Mother and Father was all brutally killed. Luke had a very serious cancer but it was curable, the operation Luke needed was too expensive for them, Mike went to a building society but the payments were more than they afford a month. So Mike Leroy, as he is known took up a job in cab driving. He was doing quite well, but on a day when two fat businessmen left behind a suitcase. Mike got home and opened it; it had Ł20,000 in it! Luke's operation was paid for and the left over money went into the bank. But the person who left the case behind knew what Mike had done. Mike was taking his family on a trip around Los Angles, when the business men went gun crazy and fired at Mike's car with a semi-automatic sub machine gun, Mike dived down and out of the way but all his family were gun down by this crazy business man.
Mike Leroy is a 35-year-old man. He is bald and brown he is well build. He wears a tatty old grey top and the buttons are gone. He has thick lips and a broad nose. He was strong enough to lift and carry himself across a rope. Netiy trained Mike up to be an assassin; it was the best training he could get without joining the army.
His degree in engineering, he had himself a high paid job, Ł50,000 a year but he quit it, because he didn't like living in Cambridge. Something made him come back to the U.S.A he wasn't born there, his family moved there when he was very young, he can't remember his any of his childhood, all he knows about it is that he has a hard time growing up, and was very gifted with machines. Now he is apart of Netiy's plan to research Dead side he must do what she says, because if he doesn't he looses his home, his money and his life. A good thing about his family loss is that he has to keep no secrets from anyone he loves, and he can't get a job because of his voodoo mask he wears now.
Netiy gave the apartment where he lives, to him. Mike was walking to his apartment, down a dark back-alley street; he was confronted by two men from the front a two from behind. The men started to talk to him,
"So Mike, where have you been lately?" he remembered the voice, was it?...
"It seems that you got off lightly with that incident". Mike thought to him self, it is. "But I’m sure you've meet Tony, Andrew, Steven, before," he looked at these three men. There were build like tanks, the smallest was about 5"11.
"Boy's I think you know what to do to this, FAMILY MAN!"
They walking up to Mike, he turned around, then again, time was running out. He ran to wards the wall jumped up and kick off it and lunged at Tony, but he was to big and caught him, he then slammed him on his knee and Mike collapsed on the floor. Tony picked him up and held him as Steven and Andrew proceeded to smack him repeatedly in the chest. Then the crazed man walked out in front on him and pulled his gun out of his holster under his grey jacket. Mike brought his head up to look at him, all the life was beaten out of him.
"Now Mike, you will know the price of your life, twenty thousand pounds" suddenly he dropped down on the floor and started to have a fit, and do did his heavies. A dark Shadow appeared from the smoky alley.
"It looks like you've got your self I a little bit of trouble Mike." It was a female's voice. She walked forward; she had long black hair down her back, with a middle parting. Small brown eyes, like a fox. Her body was thin all round and she had long brown legs. All she was wearing was a small top and a pair of black hot pants. "You’re wandering what happened just then." Mike didn't answer, "I have a power beyond your imagination, and things I have seen things which are far beyond your wildest dreams. I have seen hell, but hell is just a word, we refer to it as dead-side."
"How… how are 'we'" me and a dead Irish man called Jaunty, he’s now a snake"
"A… a… snake?" you'll se later"
"What you’re going to kill me?" Mike replied
"No, you'll be able to walk between these 'worlds'" Mike was stunned
"So there is a God"
"Not a god, a devil, legion, he is many, all the evil is inside him, dead, dying, diseased" Mike got the idea that this guy is not to be messed around with.
"Come on Mike we must change you in to a SHADOW MAN"
Netiy took Mike in an abandoned lab, were the 'operation was to take place. She put him to sleep and opened up his chest. She got some sort of mask, is had 'eyes' and four large holes on the side. She cut of his chest, and replaced it with this mask, then she chanted a chant in a weird language, a purple mist surrounded Mike and Netiy, she started to shout the chant louder and louder. She like a strike of thunder hit Mike and he started to shake rapidly, lifting from the table and his body arching lifting up towards the night sky. Then with aloud clap of thunder, it all stopped and when quiet. "It's happen Mike, you’re a SHADOW MAN!"
Chapter 2: Unsettling dreams
December 26th 1999 Boxing Day.
Netiy was asleep next to him, she was fidgeting and was very unsettled, and she got up and looked into the dark nighttime sky.
"Netiy, was wrong?"
" Mike I had one of those dreams,"
"What were they telling you about this time?"
"About dead-side Mike, and you"
"What about me?"
"You have to see Jaunty, you must ask him about dark souls"
"About what! I'm not going after dark souls, there a waste of time, no voodoo master has ever come near opening one!"
"I've seen you do it, with you powerful gun you can open one! I'll meet you at the 'Voodoo' church, I'll explain more there."
As I went back to bed, Netiy was rushing around, moving things; I shut my eyes, and went to sleep.
At first light Mike got up and put on the first clothes that fell out of the wardrobe. He went down to the old river, and got on his boat. The deep murky waters were thick and it would be impossible to swim though. Mike started to talk to him self,
"I hate this s***, It was my fault Luke died, Mum and pup too. I deserve everything that comes my way, every bad thing that happens." Mike pulled up his boat on to the bank, careful to not slip in the water. He walked forward following the riverbank. He came to the old boat, it was there sitting on a 45o angle, it was there ever since the river dried out. People say that it is on top off a huge hole which that the water went though. The porthole was always open until now, it seemed it wanted to hide the hole. Mike could just see the church out of the mist, sitting on top of a hill.
A dog, was waiting, sitting there looking at Mike, it was on a box which lead to the foot of the spiralling hill. Then it turned and ran off in the direction of the church. Mike walked on up the spiralling pathway. It went up about 30ft when Mike came to the bridge, it was across a valley were once the river flowed by. Centuries ago, the river cut the land into a valley. The bridge was old and wooden; it and four small poles one on either end, a thick piece of string held the bridge to the poles, which were circularly in the ground. Mike started to walk across the planks, went suddenly the planks gave way. Mike scampered across, then jumped onto the edge of the valley. It was 60 meters, he saw the bridge just simply fall down, he didn't hear touch the ground, and they just went into darkness. He pulled him self up, and after a 5 second pause 'cause of the shock, he carried on walking. It was times like these that he is thankful for not bringing a donkey or horse, because that valley is a long way down.
He walked up to the two huts; they were abandoned and boarded up. He came up to see if he could look in, but it was boarded up to well. As he go closer to the other one he could hear a beat, much like a heart beat, but more louder as he could hear it, and… and something else, it was different, but he had no time to think what it could be as Netiy was waiting. Mike walked around the hut with the beating 'heart' to the back of the shabby hut, there was the rope, the rope would get him across the stream, even thought the stream was dwarfed because of the river, still the bank was to high to climb. Mike jumped and reached onto the rope, he climbed across and dropped down onto the bank. The path now lead him onto some caves, Mike knew he was near the top because he started to breathe more heavily because the oxygen was thin. The caves were towering, but narrow compared to the sheer size of it. It was dark and damp, Mike, turned on his torch. Mike walked around some pillars and came to a hole leading out. Mike ran and jumped onto the ledge of the exit, it was very soft rock, and he was slipping away fast. He threw his torch over the side, Mike scrambled up the ledge just in time before the face of the rock slid into the now darken cave.
He could now see two things, the front entrance to the church, and the rock viler again sitting like a statue, not flinching, sitting there, and not even noticing that Mike was there. He thought up his options, get in the church, or turn back and run, but he could not go back after all, the bridge was gone. He ran at full speed at the dog, Mike jumped, landed stumbled, got control and rolled, kicked the door open and quick as lighting turned around just in time to smack the hard oak wood of the big church door into the dogs face. Mike walked to the small door on the left, which he thought Netiy was in. Mike opened the door and walked to the soft red carpet, he called for Netiy, and a few birds flew away up the tower that the church bell is in.
"Over here Mike,"
Netiy was wearing and small tight skirt and earrings, on in each ear, her black top which she seems to always were, her black hair wasn't tied up.
"Your offer was too irresistible to refuse,"
"I'm too irresistible Mike, you just have to learn to live with it, now why I brought you here. The dark souls I know are very powerful and very dangerous, Voodoo masters have tied to open it, believe me, I've tried. But something more powerful like a Shadow man can do it, I've seen you Mike, you can do it!"
"So I have to get these dark souls because?"
"5 strangers are planning to send there evil minions to Earth to take over it, they will consume all living things, when you enter deeper into dead-side you will see what it will be like on Earth if his plan succeeds. The five dark men, need darks-souls to enter Earth, if he has more than ten, a portal will open, and then Earth will be destroyed!"
"Why do they want to take over Earth now, why can't they be happy in there own little hell-hole?"
"Because Mike, if they take over Earth he will have his revenge on the people whom sent him there. You see Mike a 1000 years ago, ad these men was setting up the same thing he is now, but voodoo masters, created Shadow man, a almost invincible man who would stop them from doing his 'Armageddon,' they will destroy all living things!!!
So if I don't get these dark souls the worlds going to end?"
"Yes"
"S***,"
"Now Mike, go to dead-side,"
"Who are these men anyway?"
"I don't but there different then before,"
"Huh!"
"These men are from the resent past"
"OK…"
"Have you got my stuff?" - Mike exclaimed.
"Yes Mike, It's on the table,"
When Mike picked up the gun and a teddy bear, he heard his brother Luke, he said
"This way Mikey,"
Mike was thrown-a-back,
"Netiy, I just saw Luke, he's in pain,"
"Your feelings for your brother are strong, but he is dead, you must understand, now go to dead side Jaunty has got something to show you."
The teddy bear Mike had in his had had been hand stitched by his mother, the left half of the bear was normal light brown colour, the other half was very dark black, the leg was shorten, and it had no features at all, no eyes, no ears, nothing.
"Netiy, what does that damn bear do?"
"It takes you to dead-side, now use it!"
Mike summoned the bears power and used it to teleport him to dead-side, as he used the bear he hear Luke's voice echoing though his head if was saying
"Come on Stelfo" Stelfo was the name of Luke's bear. Mike felt emotions run though him as he used it, hatred, coldness, bitterness and DEATH. But as the voice faded a faint alien voice came from it, for we are many… The next thing Mike knew is that he was in front of the huge marrow gates, in dead side. Jaunty called out to Shadowman,
"Over here Mike!" Shadow man walked up to Jaunty; he hadn't changed one bit.
Jaunty is Irish! He came this way because of one night down the pub. Jaunty as always on a Thursday night goes drinking with all his mates (as its pay-day on Thursday). But when he was walking home, he though he would just sit down on the university steps, when some students took him in to the university, there were only three of them and they all were about 15. If Jaunty wasn't drunk he could fight them off beginning an Irish man of course. But he was in such a state he couldn't even fight his way out of a brown paper bag! They took him to some sort of laboratory; they under took some nasty experiments on him. After he died that night, on a cold table,
Netiy (using her powerful voodoo powers), talked to Jaunty in dead side, if he joined them he would be giving a new body, a fresh start. Now Jaunty thought he would have a new human body, but instead he got a skull faced, top hat wearing, snake. It wasn't all-bad, as he guarded the marrow gates, which is one of the most important things to be able to do in dead side. Apart from begin the bringer of destruction, aka Legion.
"Jaunty, Mike Leroy has no place in dead-side, please refer to me as Shadowman"
"Okay then, Mike what has Netiy put into your little baud head this time?"
"I need to get into dead-side, open the Marrow gates,"
"Ah what the hell ya playing at Mike? Oh ya DEAD serious, see that big building yonder"
"Yes"
"That’s were all the spooky thing are going on, my distant Irish cousin, a painter came back from there, he said there is blood dripping from the walls and horrible monsters lurking about. Nothing to worried you about mind you"
Shadowman and Jaunty walked to wards the huge marrow gates. The path to the gates was lit with fire. The marrow gates seemed to be a gigantic rib cage. Behind it was a dark pathway, it was as big as the gates, but turned off to the right. The footsteps of Shadow man and Jaunty were the only sound, Shadow man knew it was like this all though dead side, his foot steps, freaking him out tap, tap, tap, tap, all the way. Shadow man just wanted to walk away, but if he did that he'll be walking away from saving all living things.
"Open the gates Jaunty"
"Did I ever tell you about the time when I played skittles with the heads of the French…"
"OPEN THE DAMN GATES!"
"Okay Mike, keep your hair on, and looking at you that might be hard"
Shadow man frowned
"Open sesame!"
The massive marrow gates swigged open so easily as it was a door in a doll's house. Shadow man walked, and then ran into dead side, he got his SG (Shadow gun) ready.
Chapter 3: Dead-side
He strafed around the side, he jumped out the gun blazing, there were two zombies, one on either side of the entrance, Shadow man, blasting his gun out made the first zombie fall to its knees, then he got a direct shot to its head and blew it off. The second on was much closer about 5ft away, Shadow man blasted five shots, four two its chest and one all mighty powerful one which sent it head flying backwards, rolling on the floor when it landed. But still this undead was still walking towards Shadow man. He walked up to the headless beast and punched it, he hit it with so much power that his entire arm went though it. Shadow man pulled his hand out of the zombie then it fell to its knees, and flopped to the ground. His hand dripping with blood Shadow man walked up to the dead one lying on the floor and put his leg though its chest, just to make sure. He walked on and down a curved slop and went to a small stand where a book was sitting. Shadow Man picked up the book, on the front it said,
"The Prophesy" Shadow Man started to read the book. It told him about dead-side, it said there were Shadow gates, and portals to places, at the end it read something that Shadow man thought about,
'And legion took the dark souls onto him', there was a puzzling thing about this, who is legion?
Shadow Man kept the book and went back up the slope. He went to his left and jumped over a small pool of red, water. Shadow Man turned and put his hand into the water, it was thick, thick as… BLOOD. Shadow man pulled his hand out with lighting quick reflexes and turned around to carry on walking. There was a broken down bridge, Shadow man climbed on to it, and he walked on. He could now see what it would be like on Earth if Legion succeeds, it is just like a baron wasteland. Mike could hear some groaning, it was getting louder and louder, as he was walking around a bend. Then he came to a clearing, he saw three zombies crouching on the floor, and they all got up slowly. Shadow Man pull his gun out from his side and started pumping shadows (the shadow gun uses shadows of good souls to kill dead side creatures). The first one went down quickly, but the others started spitting green stuff at Shadow man, he was running side to side trying to dodge this it. He then killed another zombie and let loose on the other. It eventually dropped down dead.
Shadow man worked his way though the maze in the wasteland, there were pillars everywhere, when Shadow man got though the network, he came upon a gate in shape of a coffin (a coffin gate conveniently named). Shadow man looked around it; it had two ropes going from it to a cross. He study it carefully, in front of cross there were foot holes, Shadow man stood in the holes, and held on to the cross, power of the shadows burst thought him, the power transferred to the gate, the power blasted the gate it exploded,
"I am the lord of dead side!!!" Shadow man shouted; as he walked though the coffin-shaped tunnel and noticed on the floor was … BLOOD. A beating was thumping in his chest and in his head, it was, it was, adrenaline, was Mike really enjoying this? OR WAS HE SCARED? He marched on proudly, as some steps got louder and louder Shadowman drew his Shadow gun we was walking then upon a turning he made, a Zombie sprung out on to him! The fired two shots they blazed off, he struggled to get the beast off, the surged him off and unleashed several shots up onto the zombies chest, he had freed another soul of the undead. As he was walking, the got thinking, what were these… dark souls anyway? Where they sprit's of the important? The good? Or… the… EVIL!!! Shadowman walked upon a door and with his almighty weapon, he blasted away. But it revealed something he wished he never wanted. Row upon row of coffin boxes, red cushion padded boxes. Each one holding one of the immortal soldiers, LEGION. The great 10 ft monsters each one with a glowing purple mist behind it, which could be only one thing. In the cave that he had stumbled across, held the army that he had feared, the army that was the apocalypses, the army to end all!
Chapter 1: The Beginning
In the dark city of Los Angles, a secret has been kept since 1984, the arrival of Shadow man! People heard about a 'Shadow Man' in the 1880's, but they believed in that story as much as they do in having good daytime television! But a tragic incident happened to Shadow man, his brother Luke, Mother and Father was all brutally killed. Luke had a very serious cancer but it was curable, the operation Luke needed was too expensive for them, Mike went to a building society but the payments were more than they afford a month. So Mike Leroy, as he is known took up a job in cab driving. He was doing quite well, but on a day when two fat businessmen left behind a suitcase. Mike got home and opened it; it had Ł20,000 in it! Luke's operation was paid for and the left over money went into the bank. But the person who left the case behind knew what Mike had done. Mike was taking his family on a trip around Los Angles, when the business men went gun crazy and fired at Mike's car with a semi-automatic sub machine gun, Mike dived down and out of the way but all his family were gun down by this crazy business man.
Mike Leroy is a 35-year-old man. He is bald and brown he is well build. He wears a tatty old grey top and the buttons are gone. He has thick lips and a broad nose. He was strong enough to lift and carry himself across a rope. Netiy trained Mike up to be an assassin; it was the best training he could get without joining the army.
His degree in engineering, he had himself a high paid job, Ł50,000 a year but he quit it, because he didn't like living in Cambridge. Something made him come back to the U.S.A he wasn't born there, his family moved there when he was very young, he can't remember his any of his childhood, all he knows about it is that he has a hard time growing up, and was very gifted with machines. Now he is apart of Netiy's plan to research Dead side he must do what she says, because if he doesn't he looses his home, his money and his life. A good thing about his family loss is that he has to keep no secrets from anyone he loves, and he can't get a job because of his voodoo mask he wears now.
Netiy gave the apartment where he lives, to him. Mike was walking to his apartment, down a dark back-alley street; he was confronted by two men from the front a two from behind. The men started to talk to him,
"So Mike, where have you been lately?" he remembered the voice, was it?...
"It seems that you got off lightly with that incident". Mike thought to him self, it is. "But I’m sure you've meet Tony, Andrew, Steven, before," he looked at these three men. There were build like tanks, the smallest was about 5"11.
"Boy's I think you know what to do to this, FAMILY MAN!"
They walking up to Mike, he turned around, then again, time was running out. He ran to wards the wall jumped up and kick off it and lunged at Tony, but he was to big and caught him, he then slammed him on his knee and Mike collapsed on the floor. Tony picked him up and held him as Steven and Andrew proceeded to smack him repeatedly in the chest. Then the crazed man walked out in front on him and pulled his gun out of his holster under his grey jacket. Mike brought his head up to look at him, all the life was beaten out of him.
"Now Mike, you will know the price of your life, twenty thousand pounds" suddenly he dropped down on the floor and started to have a fit, and do did his heavies. A dark Shadow appeared from the smoky alley.
"It looks like you've got your self I a little bit of trouble Mike." It was a female's voice. She walked forward; she had long black hair down her back, with a middle parting. Small brown eyes, like a fox. Her body was thin all round and she had long brown legs. All she was wearing was a small top and a pair of black hot pants. "You’re wandering what happened just then." Mike didn't answer, "I have a power beyond your imagination, and things I have seen things which are far beyond your wildest dreams. I have seen hell, but hell is just a word, we refer to it as dead-side."
"How… how are 'we'" me and a dead Irish man called Jaunty, he’s now a snake"
"A… a… snake?" you'll se later"
"What you’re going to kill me?" Mike replied
"No, you'll be able to walk between these 'worlds'" Mike was stunned
"So there is a God"
"Not a god, a devil, legion, he is many, all the evil is inside him, dead, dying, diseased" Mike got the idea that this guy is not to be messed around with.
"Come on Mike we must change you in to a SHADOW MAN"
Netiy took Mike in an abandoned lab, were the 'operation was to take place. She put him to sleep and opened up his chest. She got some sort of mask, is had 'eyes' and four large holes on the side. She cut of his chest, and replaced it with this mask, then she chanted a chant in a weird language, a purple mist surrounded Mike and Netiy, she started to shout the chant louder and louder. She like a strike of thunder hit Mike and he started to shake rapidly, lifting from the table and his body arching lifting up towards the night sky. Then with aloud clap of thunder, it all stopped and when quiet. "It's happen Mike, you’re a SHADOW MAN!"
Chapter 2: Unsettling dreams
December 26th 1999 Boxing Day.
Netiy was asleep next to him, she was fidgeting and was very unsettled, and she got up and looked into the dark nighttime sky.
"Netiy, was wrong?"
" Mike I had one of those dreams,"
"What were they telling you about this time?"
"About dead-side Mike, and you"
"What about me?"
"You have to see Jaunty, you must ask him about dark souls"
"About what! I'm not going after dark souls, there a waste of time, no voodoo master has ever come near opening one!"
"I've seen you do it, with you powerful gun you can open one! I'll meet you at the 'Voodoo' church, I'll explain more there."
As I went back to bed, Netiy was rushing around, moving things; I shut my eyes, and went to sleep.
At first light Mike got up and put on the first clothes that fell out of the wardrobe. He went down to the old river, and got on his boat. The deep murky waters were thick and it would be impossible to swim though. Mike started to talk to him self,
"I hate this s***, It was my fault Luke died, Mum and pup too. I deserve everything that comes my way, every bad thing that happens." Mike pulled up his boat on to the bank, careful to not slip in the water. He walked forward following the riverbank. He came to the old boat, it was there sitting on a 45o angle, it was there ever since the river dried out. People say that it is on top off a huge hole which that the water went though. The porthole was always open until now, it seemed it wanted to hide the hole. Mike could just see the church out of the mist, sitting on top of a hill.
A dog, was waiting, sitting there looking at Mike, it was on a box which lead to the foot of the spiralling hill. Then it turned and ran off in the direction of the church. Mike walked on up the spiralling pathway. It went up about 30ft when Mike came to the bridge, it was across a valley were once the river flowed by. Centuries ago, the river cut the land into a valley. The bridge was old and wooden; it and four small poles one on either end, a thick piece of string held the bridge to the poles, which were circularly in the ground. Mike started to walk across the planks, went suddenly the planks gave way. Mike scampered across, then jumped onto the edge of the valley. It was 60 meters, he saw the bridge just simply fall down, he didn't hear touch the ground, and they just went into darkness. He pulled him self up, and after a 5 second pause 'cause of the shock, he carried on walking. It was times like these that he is thankful for not bringing a donkey or horse, because that valley is a long way down.
He walked up to the two huts; they were abandoned and boarded up. He came up to see if he could look in, but it was boarded up to well. As he go closer to the other one he could hear a beat, much like a heart beat, but more louder as he could hear it, and… and something else, it was different, but he had no time to think what it could be as Netiy was waiting. Mike walked around the hut with the beating 'heart' to the back of the shabby hut, there was the rope, the rope would get him across the stream, even thought the stream was dwarfed because of the river, still the bank was to high to climb. Mike jumped and reached onto the rope, he climbed across and dropped down onto the bank. The path now lead him onto some caves, Mike knew he was near the top because he started to breathe more heavily because the oxygen was thin. The caves were towering, but narrow compared to the sheer size of it. It was dark and damp, Mike, turned on his torch. Mike walked around some pillars and came to a hole leading out. Mike ran and jumped onto the ledge of the exit, it was very soft rock, and he was slipping away fast.

He could now see two things, the front entrance to the church, and the rock viler again sitting like a statue, not flinching, sitting there, and not even noticing that Mike was there. He thought up his options, get in the church, or turn back and run, but he could not go back after all, the bridge was gone. He ran at full speed at the dog, Mike jumped, landed stumbled, got control and rolled, kicked the door open and quick as lighting turned around just in time to smack the hard oak wood of the big church door into the dogs face. Mike walked to the small door on the left, which he thought Netiy was in. Mike opened the door and walked to the soft red carpet, he called for Netiy, and a few birds flew away up the tower that the church bell is in.
"Over here Mike,"
Netiy was wearing and small tight skirt and earrings, on in each ear, her black top which she seems to always were, her black hair wasn't tied up.
"Your offer was too irresistible to refuse,"
"I'm too irresistible Mike, you just have to learn to live with it, now why I brought you here. The dark souls I know are very powerful and very dangerous, Voodoo masters have tied to open it, believe me, I've tried. But something more powerful like a Shadow man can do it, I've seen you Mike, you can do it!"
"So I have to get these dark souls because?"
"5 strangers are planning to send there evil minions to Earth to take over it, they will consume all living things, when you enter deeper into dead-side you will see what it will be like on Earth if his plan succeeds. The five dark men, need darks-souls to enter Earth, if he has more than ten, a portal will open, and then Earth will be destroyed!"
"Why do they want to take over Earth now, why can't they be happy in there own little hell-hole?"
"Because Mike, if they take over Earth he will have his revenge on the people whom sent him there. You see Mike a 1000 years ago, ad these men was setting up the same thing he is now, but voodoo masters, created Shadow man, a almost invincible man who would stop them from doing his 'Armageddon,' they will destroy all living things!!!
So if I don't get these dark souls the worlds going to end?"
"Yes"
"S***,"
"Now Mike, go to dead-side,"
"Who are these men anyway?"
"I don't but there different then before,"
"Huh!"
"These men are from the resent past"
"OK…"
"Have you got my stuff?" - Mike exclaimed.
"Yes Mike, It's on the table,"
When Mike picked up the gun and a teddy bear, he heard his brother Luke, he said
"This way Mikey,"
Mike was thrown-a-back,
"Netiy, I just saw Luke, he's in pain,"
"Your feelings for your brother are strong, but he is dead, you must understand, now go to dead side Jaunty has got something to show you."
The teddy bear Mike had in his had had been hand stitched by his mother, the left half of the bear was normal light brown colour, the other half was very dark black, the leg was shorten, and it had no features at all, no eyes, no ears, nothing.
"Netiy, what does that damn bear do?"
"It takes you to dead-side, now use it!"
Mike summoned the bears power and used it to teleport him to dead-side, as he used the bear he hear Luke's voice echoing though his head if was saying
"Come on Stelfo" Stelfo was the name of Luke's bear. Mike felt emotions run though him as he used it, hatred, coldness, bitterness and DEATH. But as the voice faded a faint alien voice came from it, for we are many… The next thing Mike knew is that he was in front of the huge marrow gates, in dead side. Jaunty called out to Shadowman,
"Over here Mike!" Shadow man walked up to Jaunty; he hadn't changed one bit.
Jaunty is Irish! He came this way because of one night down the pub. Jaunty as always on a Thursday night goes drinking with all his mates (as its pay-day on Thursday). But when he was walking home, he though he would just sit down on the university steps, when some students took him in to the university, there were only three of them and they all were about 15. If Jaunty wasn't drunk he could fight them off beginning an Irish man of course. But he was in such a state he couldn't even fight his way out of a brown paper bag! They took him to some sort of laboratory; they under took some nasty experiments on him. After he died that night, on a cold table,
Netiy (using her powerful voodoo powers), talked to Jaunty in dead side, if he joined them he would be giving a new body, a fresh start. Now Jaunty thought he would have a new human body, but instead he got a skull faced, top hat wearing, snake. It wasn't all-bad, as he guarded the marrow gates, which is one of the most important things to be able to do in dead side. Apart from begin the bringer of destruction, aka Legion.
"Jaunty, Mike Leroy has no place in dead-side, please refer to me as Shadowman"
"Okay then, Mike what has Netiy put into your little baud head this time?"
"I need to get into dead-side, open the Marrow gates,"
"Ah what the hell ya playing at Mike? Oh ya DEAD serious, see that big building yonder"
"Yes"
"That’s were all the spooky thing are going on, my distant Irish cousin, a painter came back from there, he said there is blood dripping from the walls and horrible monsters lurking about. Nothing to worried you about mind you"
Shadowman and Jaunty walked to wards the huge marrow gates. The path to the gates was lit with fire. The marrow gates seemed to be a gigantic rib cage. Behind it was a dark pathway, it was as big as the gates, but turned off to the right. The footsteps of Shadow man and Jaunty were the only sound, Shadow man knew it was like this all though dead side, his foot steps, freaking him out tap, tap, tap, tap, all the way. Shadow man just wanted to walk away, but if he did that he'll be walking away from saving all living things.
"Open the gates Jaunty"
"Did I ever tell you about the time when I played skittles with the heads of the French…"
"OPEN THE DAMN GATES!"
"Okay Mike, keep your hair on, and looking at you that might be hard"
Shadow man frowned
"Open sesame!"
The massive marrow gates swigged open so easily as it was a door in a doll's house. Shadow man walked, and then ran into dead side, he got his SG (Shadow gun) ready.
Chapter 3: Dead-side
He strafed around the side, he jumped out the gun blazing, there were two zombies, one on either side of the entrance, Shadow man, blasting his gun out made the first zombie fall to its knees, then he got a direct shot to its head and blew it off. The second on was much closer about 5ft away, Shadow man blasted five shots, four two its chest and one all mighty powerful one which sent it head flying backwards, rolling on the floor when it landed. But still this undead was still walking towards Shadow man. He walked up to the headless beast and punched it, he hit it with so much power that his entire arm went though it. Shadow man pulled his hand out of the zombie then it fell to its knees, and flopped to the ground. His hand dripping with blood Shadow man walked up to the dead one lying on the floor and put his leg though its chest, just to make sure. He walked on and down a curved slop and went to a small stand where a book was sitting. Shadow Man picked up the book, on the front it said,
"The Prophesy" Shadow Man started to read the book. It told him about dead-side, it said there were Shadow gates, and portals to places, at the end it read something that Shadow man thought about,
'And legion took the dark souls onto him', there was a puzzling thing about this, who is legion?
Shadow Man kept the book and went back up the slope. He went to his left and jumped over a small pool of red, water. Shadow Man turned and put his hand into the water, it was thick, thick as… BLOOD. Shadow man pulled his hand out with lighting quick reflexes and turned around to carry on walking. There was a broken down bridge, Shadow man climbed on to it, and he walked on. He could now see what it would be like on Earth if Legion succeeds, it is just like a baron wasteland. Mike could hear some groaning, it was getting louder and louder, as he was walking around a bend. Then he came to a clearing, he saw three zombies crouching on the floor, and they all got up slowly. Shadow Man pull his gun out from his side and started pumping shadows (the shadow gun uses shadows of good souls to kill dead side creatures). The first one went down quickly, but the others started spitting green stuff at Shadow man, he was running side to side trying to dodge this it. He then killed another zombie and let loose on the other. It eventually dropped down dead.
Shadow man worked his way though the maze in the wasteland, there were pillars everywhere, when Shadow man got though the network, he came upon a gate in shape of a coffin (a coffin gate conveniently named). Shadow man looked around it; it had two ropes going from it to a cross. He study it carefully, in front of cross there were foot holes, Shadow man stood in the holes, and held on to the cross, power of the shadows burst thought him, the power transferred to the gate, the power blasted the gate it exploded,
"I am the lord of dead side!!!" Shadow man shouted; as he walked though the coffin-shaped tunnel and noticed on the floor was … BLOOD. A beating was thumping in his chest and in his head, it was, it was, adrenaline, was Mike really enjoying this? OR WAS HE SCARED? He marched on proudly, as some steps got louder and louder Shadowman drew his Shadow gun we was walking then upon a turning he made, a Zombie sprung out on to him! The fired two shots they blazed off, he struggled to get the beast off, the surged him off and unleashed several shots up onto the zombies chest, he had freed another soul of the undead. As he was walking, the got thinking, what were these… dark souls anyway? Where they sprit's of the important? The good? Or… the… EVIL!!! Shadowman walked upon a door and with his almighty weapon, he blasted away. But it revealed something he wished he never wanted. Row upon row of coffin boxes, red cushion padded boxes. Each one holding one of the immortal soldiers, LEGION. The great 10 ft monsters each one with a glowing purple mist behind it, which could be only one thing. In the cave that he had stumbled across, held the army that he had feared, the army that was the apocalypses, the army to end all!
