As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows over the once-peaceful village, a chilling aura enveloped the land. The defeat of Evil Hiro had merely been the prelude to a much darker chapter. While the villagers believed they had restored peace, the dark energy released from the shattered crystal still lingered, festering like an open wound.
In a desolate part of the Shadow Realm, the figure of Evil Hiro stood before Elandor, who had secretly returned to claim his influence over the dark forces. "You are no longer just a shadow of your former self," Elandor intoned, his voice a haunting whisper. "You shall be known as Shadeborn—the One Who is Born from the Shade. With this name, you will embrace the darkness that now courses through you."
Shadeborn's eyes glimmered with malevolence, a new power igniting within him. "I will rise from these shadows and reclaim my rightful place," he vowed, determination coursing through him as he felt the dark energy surge.
With the influence of dark forces awakening, Elandor summoned the Six Shades of Darkness, ready to serve Shadeborn. As they gathered around, their combined powers began to intertwine, hinting at the chaos they would unleash upon the world.
