how long that will last, from what I hear Wan-lo kind of works his servant girls to death.”

“GET YOUR HANDS OF MY SISTER!!” Kit’s outburst only earned him a slap across the face from Savitar.

“I SAID LEAVE THEM ALONE!” This time Savitar knew he wasn’t hearing things, as he turned around he could see it, violet cracks seem to appear on the stone that Shade had been turned into.

“This can’t be.”

“Oh your in trouble now.” Molly said, as she looked up at Savitar with a smile on her face.

“SHUT UP!” Savitar back handed Molly, but as soon as he did he heard an explosion from behind him, that was so powerful that it broke what control he had on the others. “This is impossible.” Savitar said, as he turned around only to be tackled by Shade who had his teeth bared and growled. Savitar looked into Shade’s eyes and could see only a black fire where Shade‘s eyes should be. A cold chill ran down his back, as a warm felling filled his pants. “GET OFF!” Shade was thrown backwards but stopped in mid air as he held out his arms and landed lightly on his feet. “Shadow guard.” Savitar said, as he looked at Shade as the figure before him seem to grow into adulthood and a grey samurai armor formed around him. “I was warned that I might run into you.”

“Then you should be running.” Molly said, as she pouted at Savitar with tears running down her face, she refused to cry from what he had done to her before, even though she was very young she had her mothers spirit, and she refused to give Savitar the satisfaction to hear her cry.

“I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO SHUT UP!” Savitar turned his attention away from Shade for a brief second, but as he turned back around he found Shade standing face to face with him, but this meeting was only for a fraction of a second, just long enough for Shade to backhand him, sending Savitar flying back a few feet before landing on his back. “Get it together, remember what he said.” Savitar mumbled to himself as he picked him self up and then got into a fighting stance, getting Shade to stop for a second. “I see you know this.” a cocky smile spread across Savitar face as he looked at Shade, think he had the upper hand in this fight.

“I should, it’s a fighting stile of Panda-la.” Shade responded, as he got into a fighting stance himself.

“Ah then you know you can’t win.” Again the two charge at one another, and again both equally matched. “I was beginning to think I had wasted my time with that cell mate of mine.”

“Cell mate?”

“Yeah a panda by the name of Wan-lo, after his failed attempt to take over the city, they locked him up. I was all ready to make my own move to escape, when they put him in my cell, so instead of breaking out he offered to teach me, and help me expand my own powers of mind control, calling it the Shadow shields.”

“Shadow skills.”

“What?”

“The art he was teaching you, or tried to, is known as Shadow skills.”

“Who cares, with his lessons I’ve been able to get a good grip on this city, until you came along, he warned me that I might run into someone like you one day, and who would of guess the Ghost being the very person he was warning me about.”

“Whatever happened to Wan-lo?”

“I don’t know, he got out of the city with the help of are benefactors along with the remaining Panda-la army, they said their skills would be better suited in other areas.”

“I see, so Wan-lo is no longer in the city.”

“No.” for a moment during the fight no words where spoken between the two, and Savitar could only wonder if Shade was trying to plan something.

“I must admit you are skilled, and Wan-lo did teach you well.”

“He was an excellent teacher.” As Savitar spoke the last words he through a punch only to have it grabbed in mid swing. “What?” Savitar looked at Shade standing before him no longer in a fighting stance still holding Savitar’s fist.

“I had better.” with one massive blow to the chest followed by a knee to the face Savitar went flying backwards landing hard on his back. As he got back up he glared slightly as he held out his hand and a sword appeared.

“Time to die you masked up start.” as Savitar attacked again, and again, Shade dodged each attempt of the mad hypnotist. “HOLD STILL!!” as Savitar brought down his sword again, he was shocked when Shade vanished into a cloud of smoke and his sword passed through it. But was shocked when Shade reappeared and held Savitar’s sword down with his foot. “What kind of trick is this, this is my world, my rules, I FORBID YOU FROM DOING THIS!”

“You forbid? You opened the window Savitar, you let me in, and just as things can enter a window, other things can be pulled out.” Shade responded, as he disappeared and reappeared always landing a blow. The captives watched on as they saw the Ghost fight, he was no where, but at the same time he was, he would appeared and disappear in an instant knocking Savitar around like he was a play thing.

“GIVE HIM ONE FOR EACH OF US GHOST!!” The mayor yelled, as he looked at Shade.

“Your wish is my command.” Shade said, as appeared before the captive and bowed slightly before vanishing once more, only to appear in front of Savitar and landed a blow to Savitar’s gut, causing the hypnotist to double over before being set up straight with a kick to the chest, only to be followed by Shade jumping up and grabbing Savitar’s head to pull it down and slam it into the ground.

With each blow Shade announced who it was from and just as Savitar slowly started to get back up to his feet, Shade moved in for a finishing blow only to stop as Savitar raised his hand. The ground shook the world seem to fly apart as Savitar started to grow larger, and larger. “DID YOU REALLY THINK YOU COULD BEAT ME!?” Savitar asked, as he glared down at Shade. “I’m going to crush you like the insignificant bug you are.” As Savitar slammed his foot down a cloud of smoke erupted around it “Oh another vanishing act, I know how to draw you out from hiding.” Savitar snapped his fingers and his captives found them selves trapped in prison cells. “You think you’re going to save them? You barely saved yourself before,… I’ll tell you what, you can leave, you hear me Ghost? You can walk away.” for a moment there was no sound, before several of the captives started to scream out for the ghost not to leave them behind.

“Savitar please, you an I both know that the only reason you would give me such an offer is because you know that you can’t beat me, you’re scared.” again the world changed this time for the better, from what was best described as a prison to down town Cape Suzette. “One thing you should know Savitar, the eyes are windows to the soul, as well as the mind, and a window works both ways, that‘s what I was trying to tell you before.” the captive, now freed from their prison cells looked on from the sidewalks as Shade appeared in his adult form, dressed once more in a grey Samurai armor. “You force good people to do crimes, only so they would be forced to work for your crime boss, your actions helped in the cruelty, and abuse of children, and the death of five.” Savitar opened his mouth only to be silenced as Shade waved his hand, and a metal plate sealed it shut. “BE SILENT!” his voice boomed like thunder, as the city seem to grow darker. “I was able to hear everything you said Savitar, every twisted and vile command!” In a flash Shade was in front of Savitar a sword drawn and at Savitar’s throat. “For everything you’ve done, for everything you could have done, or would have done, I should end you here and now.” Shade slashed his sword across Savitar’s chest, not killing him but leaving a deep gash, getting a muffled scream from the grown cat, just before he brought his sword’s edge back to Savitar’s throat. “For the suffering you have helped inflict upon this city, and for how long it will take to help these people get back to a normal life, I should force you to endure what you inflicted ten fold.” Savitar found his limbs bound, and slowly being stretched to their limits, by the very shadows around him. “And for trying to destroy the gods of children, for trying to rip away their innocents, and make beloved parents lay harsh hands upon those they love most dear. I should teach you the true meaning of pain, I should make you face your worst nightmares and tortures over and over for all eternity.” to the captives looking on, each of them finding it hard to admit that they wanted to see the Ghost carry out his threat, and could tell that Shade was struggling not to let his anger dictate his action, as Shade’s body seem to tremble with anger. But as Shade lowered his weapon, turned his back to Savitar, and released him from his bindings, both Rebecca and Baloo let out a sigh of relief. “But I’m not your executioner, you’re going to stand trial for your crimes.” with that Shade waved his hand and the plate on Savitar’s mouth vanished.

“I knew you wouldn’t do it, for all your words, your threats, and acting. I knew you wouldn’t hurt me, I knew you didn’t have what it takes to finish me off.” Savitar stood up and a sword appeared in his hand. “Do you really think you can capture me?
