The Shadow Swarm Man had evolved, he looked like a giant now and he morphed into a physical living being. Well, maybe not living. Could a shadow be a live? A shadow was just a reflection of light and in essence he was just energy. Energy could be manipulated. He could form weapons with this energy, he wanted to control this store and then later the whole world. Isnt that what all bad guys wanted to do? He didnt really consider himself a bad guy. He just wanted to leave and these meta-animals were in his way. Now he didnt have a name and his skin was as dark as charcoal and his eyes were red. He looked at the two creatures that stood before him. Did they really think that their guns were gonna do anything against him? It was laughable. There was a greek word that meant : shadow and that word was Eerbus. That might be a good name for him. He took a few steps towards the animals, with every step he would leave a trail of dark energy behind. Then he would stop and the dark energy would be sucked back up into him. He absorbed it, this was his strength. He lifted his hand up in the air and a dark ball of energy would appear in it. He brought the ball of energy in front of his face and he could see the shadow people that were living in it and he smiled at it. "Soon, we will control this world."
Snort shook his head from side-to-side. "What is it with all you bad guys wanting to control the world?"
Akito grinned and shrugged. "At least he doesnt want to blow it up."
Snort nodded in agreement. "True, thats been done to death."
Right now it felt like they were in a Saturday morning cartoon and it was the season finale and they were fighting the big bad. They were fighting the big bad. Akito aimed his pistol at The Shadow Man. What was his bullets going to do? Probably not much, he had to try and he needed to give Snort time to reload. He really hoped the shadow man had not noticed that they had a bag full of weapons and ammo right now. If he had, they would all be fucked. They were all fucked anyways and they probably werent getting out of this place alive. He had this sinking feeling that they would need to fight their way out of this place. He also had another feeling, that they werent alone here. That there were more creatures here and that they hadnt shown their faces yet. He really hoped he wasnt right. He was probably going to be right. So here he was, he was going to be the bait so he could help Snort. He started firing at the shadow man and it didnt look like it was doing much, just pissing him off. He did notice when a bullet hit. Shadow energy would disappear from the shadow man. Akito stopped to reload and then the shadow man would absorb the shadow energy he had lost.

Damian was getting sick and tired of these spitting flowers. He could take zombies, demons, maybe ghosts. Spitting flowers were getting on his nerves, maybe they had gone away and he wasnt going to have to deal with them anymore and then he heard another person in the back with him. Who could be stupid enough to come back here? It was probably someone from the outside world. He didnt know if he should yell out or not. He didnt know if they would be on his side or against him. He hasnt meet anyone that wasnt on his side though. He could hear scurrying in the shadows. He took his sawed off shot gun and pointed it to the shadows. "Whatever the fuck you are, show yourself!" Yeah, shouting at things in the darkness was such a great idea. He needed something cold to drink or something to eat right now, he didnt really want to deal with this shit at the moment. He was going to have to push himself through whatever he was dealing with. At least it wasnt demons. You know what would be cool right now? A flying dragon. Maybe that is what was above the skylines of Chicago. Dragons.. In… Chicago?! That just sounded strange. He laughed silently to himself. Something jumped at him from the darkness and without hesitation, he fired and put it down. It was one of those acid spitting plants. He watched it hit the ground and twitch as it died. He watched the smoke roll off of the sawed off barrel of the gun and then he opened the gun up and reloaded it.
Amelia had heard the gun shots and was walking towards them. Definitely another person was back here. As she walked she held her crossbow out in front of her. "I know youre probably like me. Im not taking any chances though." This was her insurance and if this person was evil she would just shoot them and put them down. She doubted that this person would turn out to be an enemy, but she wasnt taking any risks. Lately, she has been taking too many risks and she was hoping that those chemical zombies wouldnt be coming into this area. If that happened, they would both be fucked. Unless this other person knew how to fight. The gun shots stopped and she couldnt figure out where this other person was. The dimly lit lights, they were becoming dimmer and soon she would be in the dark and she didnt want to fight these things in the dark. If she couldnt see what she was aiming at, she would be at a big disadvantage. Whomever was back here with her, he would get hurt too. Firing off arrows in the dark wasnt a good idea and she didnt want to hurt anyone.
