him the street pirates all of them seemed almost terrified as they looked at The Ghost standing in the middle of the ally. “Did you really think I would let any of you get away with what you’ve done to my city?” Several pirates ran to get out of the ally but were taken down as Shade threw several sleeping darts hitting them in the back of the neck, he then turned to those that were still on the ground looking at him as if he was some new kind of monster. “Your going to turn your selves over to the officer now, or I swear every time your alone and you feel the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end, ever time you think there is something watching your ever move, ever time you think you feel the cold hand of death gripping your throat, that will be me.”

“ENOUGH OF THIS!!” the Bovine yelled, as he got to his feet still visible shaking from something he had seen in the smoke. “I say we take him, he’s only one person.” with that Bovine charged as Shade only to have shade run right at him, drop down and slide between the bovine’s legs, only to stand up and run back at the grown pirate and deliver a flying side kick to his back, sending the bovine down to his knees, Shade then did a flip over the Bovine grabbing it’s horns before slamming it’s face into the pavement bouncing it’s head once before knocking it out.

“Anyone else want to try me tonight?” Shade asked, getting the other Pirates to run to the officer and holding their hands up to be cuffed. Shade stood and looked into the officer’s eyes and could see a look of bewilderment in them.

“This is detective Lupe to all units we have a spotting of the Ghost and his renegades on the corner of 64th and 3rd street, all unit’s respond.” The officer turned and pulled out his radio only to look back and find the Shade had already vanished. Moments later in a high speed chase five bickers roared down the street laughing with three squad cars close behind. “You better keep on them O’Hare, I refuse to loose track of this group again.” in front of the group the lead bicker was dressed in grey cloths with a grey mask on laughing as he looked back at the cops.

“GIVE IT UP DAME YOU’LL NEVER CATCH THE GHOST AND HIS RENEGADES!!” the figure gloated as he turned back around and saw at the end of a long street what looked like fog was starting to role in. “Perfect, FOLLOW ME BOYS!” as the bicker gang drove head long into the fog they couldn’t see anything in front of their faces. So when things started to appear on the road moments before they wrecked into them it started to become clear that they had ridden into a trap. After the leader of the gang was alone the fog seemed to clear and he found himself on an empty street all except for a lone figure standing at the end of it. “What’s going on?”

“The spirit of justice is calling the false specter to stand trial.” Shade said, as he looked at the person that had destroyed the Ghost reputation. Just then the lead squad car pulled out of the dense fog and came to a screeching stop.

“HOLD IT RIGHT THERE…Ghost?” Detective Lupe’s driver looked at both figures, and then at the detective. “Ma-am what do we do, there’s two of them.”

“We take them both in O’Hare, one of them has to be the real Ghost.” Lupe said, as she got out of the squad car and pulled out her fire arm. “BOTH OF YOU ON THE GROUND HANDS ON YOUR HEADS!!”

“DON’T THINK SO BABE!” with that the false ghosts’ bike wheels squealed and started to head straight for Shade who was standing at the only open exit of the street. “GET OUT OF THE WAY OR BE ROAD KILL!” to his surprise Shade ran towards him, only prompting him to make his bike go faster, he didn’t care who this person in front of him was, he wasn’t going to jail, while at the same time both Lupe and O’Hare hesitated in shooting. As the two got closer Shade jumped up into the air, planted one foot on the handle bars while at the same time delivering a blow to the face of the false ghost knocking the imposter off his back and landing hard on the ground. As the imposter slowly got up rubbing his face he glared at Shade “Why you… I’ll kill you.” The false ghost pulled out two pistols only to have their barrels jammed by two metal spikes thrown by Shade.

“I wouldn’t pull those triggers if I was you.” in frustration the false ghost threw the guns to the ground and ran at Shade. In response Shade removed a chain from around his waist and throw it getting it to wrap around his attacker’s legs and causing the false ghost to fall to the ground. Shade stood before the man that had destroyed his reputation, he walked up, pulled out some twin, tied the man’s hands together before he knelt down, and made the man look him in the eyes. “You want to be the ghost fine, then look into my eyes, and see the things that scares you most.” As the man looked into Shade’s eyes they seem to grow darker, as the since of fear seem to over power him, his breath seem to turn shallow, and a cold sweat started to form on his forehead. as the imposter soon found himself looking into two black voids that use to be eyes. “Look into the shadows of my soul, and see that nothing you feared before compares to me, see that I am what the monsters fear.” As Shade got up he kept his eyes locked with the man that had destroyed his reputation. “Now tell everyone you know, tell them to spread the word that the night belongs to me, tell them to warn everyone that they meet that the ghost has returned, and that if I so much as see them steal candy from a baby that I will come after them like the demons from their darkest nightmares… Do you understand?” The man nodded several times, before Shade broke eye contact. As Shade turned to the officers that had joined Lupe, and O’Hare. They kept their guns drawn as they moved slowly towards him, but as they kept their eyes on him he kept his on them and as they got closer to one another Shade seem to vanish from sight, but in truth he was still they he had only clouded their minds into thinking he had vanished, Shade then walked past them. Later Shade walked around his lair, ensuring that his hideout wasn‘t found by the imposter. Once he was certain no one had been in the lair he closed his eyes and thought about the warning that his father had given him.

“Remember Shade you must use the shadow skills sparingly, to use them for to long of a time could destroy you.” The next day as Rebecca turned on the radio at higher for higher, she smiled slightly at an upbeat song being played across the radio.

“That was ‘these tears aren’t for you, I’m just pealing onions.” your listening to broadcast Sally ladies and gentlemen, and now the news report, seems like the streets are haunted once more folks, only this time it’s by the real ghost, for the past two weeks the reports on the ghost going crooked was nothing more then some low life posing as are phantom of the night, but last night the real ghost came back, and he came back with a vengeance. Hitting the under world like a typhoon, not only taking down his imposter, but also striking a new fears into the hearts of the criminals of the city. Although it seems that not everyone is pleased by these events, and I’m not talking about the criminals folks, seems that there is a group of people that want the Ghost gone, and I have in my studio today the leader of this group a miss Roxanne Baker.”

“That is correct Sally, my group represents concerned citizens of Cape Suzette, that want to know what the police are doing about this Ghost person.”

“But surely in light of new information, that the person that had been terrorizing are city wasn’t the real ghost, makes most of your supporters think twice about where they stand?”

“And why should it Sally, this is a grown man dressing up and taking the law into his own hands, children are imitating him in their school yard games now. What would happen if they thought they could do the same, and got them selves hurt?”

“Would that not fall to the parents to talk with their children and tell them that they could get hurt, and shouldn’t be doing such things.”

“If the Ghost wasn’t doing these acts then the parents wouldn’t have to do it.”

“Alright say your correct on that, tell me do you honestly condemn all his action, I mean he had a very long list of things he’s done and their all good, I mean he’s saved lives, helped bring the crime rate down, and weeded out crooked cops in are own police department.”

“And that’s why my supporters are in such an uproar, what kind of city is are mayor running that we have to depend on a mask person that is just as much a criminal, as the people that he brings in.”

“Alright, well are time is about to run out, is there anything else you would like to say.”

“Yes, my group is making it their mission to find out who this ghost is, and bring him to justice. It’s time that he learns that he can’t take the law into his own hands. You hear me Ghost, ether stop what your doing or we‘ll stop you.” with that Rebecca nearly through a cup at the radio but stopped when kit came walking out of the kitchen with a glass of water.

“What’s wrong Miss Cunningham?” Rebecca forced a smile as she looked at Kit, still angry at what the lady had said on the radio.

“Nothing Kit… so
