Previously on The Shadow: Ryan and Ethan got new powers from Herman. They trained and trained, yet there is still a lot to learn. Ethan got lightning bolt and lightning ball, Ryan got snowballs to throw that will freeze enemies and he can block himself in an ice block that heals his wounds. Just after training, the shadow king jumped out from behind a bush, now they must fight him off.
Chapter 9: “ What are we going to do” Ryan said while throwing snowballs at the shadow king “He can’t be froze or burnt!” As Ryan put an ice block surrounding him. Ryan watched as Ethan and Herman were trying their wasbest to get rid of the shadow king. He had to think of something before his ice block wore out.
The ice block’s time was almost up, he had an idea, it wasn’t the best, but it was something. Run! He grabbed Ethan and Herman and dashed. He’s never ran so fast since well… never, he was so scared that the adrenaline made him run triple as fast as he really runs, he found a large rock, not exactly a boulder, but all three of them could fit behind it.
“ Ryan, why did you do that?!” Ethan said frustratedly. “ Nothing was working and we barely even made a scratch on him” Ryan reacted. “ We need a plan!” , they thought, and thought, but they had no idea what to do. “ We need more time!” Ethan said frustratedly, “ Well time is the thing we don’t have.” Ryan replied calmly.
Ryan sat there motionlessly for a couple seconds, he knew they wouldn’t be able to come up with a plan, so he grabbed Ethan and Herman and teleported out of there. When they arrived at where Ryan teleported them to, they didn’t know where they were, but at least they knew they were safe. “ We should come up with a plan here and…” Ethan cut Ryan off “ DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHERE HERE IS!?” “ Not exactly, but we’ll figure it out.” Ryan was starting to get impatient, but he held it together.
“ As I was saying, we should make a plan here, then attack.” Ryan said easily. They agreed that the plan was also bad. So, they thought again, It was about half an hour until someone actually came up with a decent idea. Ethan thought that the shadow king’s army would be weaker than him, so they could take out the army easily, then deal with their king.
“ I agree, but once were done with the army, how exactly are we going to take out the king?” Ryan asked, “ I think that the king draws power from his army” Ethan said “ When they first arrived here, when we were hiding, I saw something that looked like dark matter coming out of the soldiers, and transport into the king’s body” “ Okay, that’s a game changer” Ryan said still trying to understand everything Ethan told them. “ So I think if we take out the soldiers, the king won’t have any power to draw from them, and then we’ll be able to defeat him.”
“ Okay then, what are we waiting for, let’s beat this rascal” Ryan said confidently. “ I don’t think it’s that easy” Herman said questionably, “ We should get some facts, maybe spy on the army and their king for a while, so we can try to prove Ethan’s theory, and we can train in the meantime, those soldiers know how to fight, so we should to.” “ I guess you’re right” Ryan said, “ Yeah” Ethan said in reply.
“ First we have to find out where the armies base is.” Herman said while taking charge. “ Well, where exactly would that be?” Ethan asked. “ We should search, do you know any places around here that would be a good place to hide?” Herman replied, and asked. “ There is a big house that no one has lived in for years, literally, it’s huge, it’s almost like a mansion, and the whole army could fit in there.” Ryan said. “ Ok then, that’s where we are looking first!” Herman said enthusiastically. Ryan led the way while they were walking to the mansion, then out of nowhere this shadow from the shadow king army came out and started rambling about how the new queen isn’t acting the way the old king used to, she is much more harsh and rude to us, he said, but at least she really wants to get rid of the three brats.
