The Shadow Warriors we truely a force to be reckoned with...They would be trained in all things they needed and at the age of 18 they would be sent into the world with new identities ,They would have to blend into society until they were 'activated' by the Headquarters they would receive a mission and execute it swiftly ,smoothly and most especially from the shadows....
If they were ever discovered ,one can only imagine what would happen.
Nine years have passed since we last saw Ash ,He and the Pentact have grown older they're mostly around 16 at this point ,The Pentact had been all to efficiently trained ,they're first mission was only a year after they decided on their name...They had been doing missions from the age of eight they were truely some of the best warriors in the Associations history of thousands of years ,So much so that it had become problematic...
Ash stands in the middle of the hall that he was brought into many years ago remembering the events that took place here only 10 years ago.Old K took his place on the stand ,the same place he had stood many years ago.Ash turned around to see Shadow open the door and Samantha ,Derrick and Trisha walked in calmly,Ash Sniled and said "You're late..."
Samantha confused by this responded "Well...Its all Derricks fault..."
Derrick smiled and said "So what,Oyu could've woken me up earlier,arent I right Trisha ?"
Trisha didn't respond she merely gave a slight cough signaling to them old K was standing in front of the room.
Samantha and Derrick both surprised by this line up next to Ash promptly and both go down on a knee,in unison they apologize to the leader.
Old K stands in front and gives a slight chuckle ,he smile in amusement and continues to speak "Thank you Shadow for bringing them,can you please leave us for a bit?"
Shadow leaves the room ,is now only Ash ,Samantha,Derrick,Trisha and old K
Old k relaxes into a chair behind him ,"You almost be wondering why I called you here ,In the Associations 1000's of years of history there have only been a hand full of cubes to reach the level of A-rank ,Yet you four at the age of 16 stand at the peak of B-rank and the precipice of A-rank...This has become problematic,In order for you four to continue to survive in the world ,we will have to send you away,You All ,or at least all other than Ash know about this place ,We have never spoken about this to him ,but 8 believe that it is time for Ash to learn of this world..."old K looks to Ash,Who stands up and looks at his friends in confusion , old k looks into Ashes eyes,"...When you came I told you that there are four branches of the shadow warriors hq on this PLANE ,in total the these 4 bases make up merely a fraction of our power,there are hundreds of bases throughout the cosmos on multiple dimensional planes ."
Ashes entire understanding of the world around him had been shaken ,but he knows the pressure that old k wants to put on his shoulders, he knows that if hes to become the leader of the cube he'd have to seem strong .Ash put on a mask ,a pure black iron mask with 2 deep dark red slashes across its face ,he took a knee his voice now deepened through the mask,"Is that all ?" he asks
Shadow walks in once more ,Ash shoots up to look at her,"No it isn't..." she calls in 3 other people standing outside ,Ash has seen all of these people before ,they're watchers ,they each watch a member of his team ,but hes never spoken to any one of them before ,"Every being has energy inside of them ,In some worlds it's called energy in others it's called mana ,in some worlds it manifests more than in others,in the world you're from Ash it manifested very little but ,you arent in that world anymore..."
Ashes mind had shattered he was completely silent ,Shadow continued "...when you were young we said that in your 17th lunar year you would all awaken powers for Ash that too holds true,Whike in your world people didnt have powers be believe that your father wasnt from this world ,we believe he came from dimension-S..." The other kids looked up as if surprised to hear this.
Samantha wants to say something ,Ash can feel it ,She was about speak when Ash stood up ,he bowed and walked towards the exit...
Shadow appeared in front of him ,He turned around to look at where Shadow was standing a moment ago ,She had crossed the entire room and stopped him in less than a second...
Shadow looked to the rest of her and Ashes teams and said ,"Leave us!" everyone other than old K and shadow left the room .
