Shawn Arc: 6. Shadow Magic

It is recess hour, Red, and Zack are tucking away their books, Mb in the back seat doesnt move a muscle laying his head on the Desk.

"You up?" ask Red as he Approaches Mb

No... i have a feeling my presence here is crucial, for this once. Reply Mb

"suite yourself mate, C'mon Red you don't want to miss out on Taco Tuesday."

"Taco's, here we Go!!" shout Red in excitement as he leaves the room

"That's very unusual of you Mb." said Yui approaching Mb

Mb looked at Yui and said "I don't feel like moving, so No, i won't lend you my seat."

Meanwhile Mb and the girls are Chattering, Zack stands waiting for Red to Queue in a Line.

"Even with the Eye I haven;t feel any satisfaction, it is Greedy for me to wanting more, but even so It is true, compare to Others lIke, Mb, and Red, I am nothing, Power always knows where to rest its head, is my disability considered a power, I cant feel pain on my left hand, as powerful as the Right hand, but in the end I am Still an amputee."

"Hey what's up!" said Chuck

Zack opens his eyes to the voice and saw Chuck in-front of him "ohh, it's you, I'm fine, What about you mate?"

"Good, Good, who are you waiting for?" ask Chuck looking around

"Chuck, the Speedster of our team, atleast the fastest in our team, his Mood reading specialities are so good, will make anything a small talk, very interactive and energenic, just like other speedsters are."

"say, You're a little moody than usual today."

what do you mean? ask Zack, swiftly Chuck reply "don't get me wrong you're always moody, but now you're a little frawny."

"again, a good mood reader, he hates listening as mush he hate standing still, even when talking he makes body languages, and also finding a new Subject to talk about, no wonder Jake is his best friend, just like a fragile items and Cussion, Unlike Chuck he prefer listening and having small talks, filling each others perfectly, he doesnt care if no one replies, he only cares about talking."

"Oh wait, Where's Mb?" ask Chuck

he's in class, he said that His presence in there is "Crucial". said Red as he approaches them, while Red is Enjoying his Taco's they went to the first floor, there they met a man In a Leather jacket looking cinfused as if he is lost, as the president of the School councils Red approaches the man asking if he needed help.

"ohh, I am looking for a Kid I believe his name is Badmb."

Red mumbles confused, and trying to figure out who this man is

"I know right what a Ridiculous name."

"Who is this man, Never have i seen him before."

"well... if you didn't know him it is fine i can just ask the Teachers here-."

"go upstairs to the second-, i meant Third floor, there you will see a class to your left, he's inside, backrow seats." reply Zack

"oh, Thank you, you three have a good recess." said the man leaving the three of them alone

"Zack!, we don't know him!" said Red as soon as the man is further away from them

"Trust me, you can trust him."

"how d'you know he can be-, Ohhh right...."

*nods*

"who was that guy?" ask Chuck in confusion

"I'll explain later." said Zack as he Continues walking to their usual Spot.

So his name is Edgar Smith, A.K.A. Captain shooting star, and he's here to take Mb as his apprentice because Terrence wants Edgar to teach Mb so he can master his powers, and the Reason Terrence picked him is because Mb's powers and His are almost the same, that is physical buff.

"Precisely." Reply Zack to Red's re-cap on his Explantions

"wait so Mb will be Captain shooting star's apprentice, lucky bastard." said Jay

Tommy then Replies "you're jealous? If Mb is in then we are going to be dragged into this, remember that we are the Stripes."

"that would be sick dude!" reply Darwin

"More like Tiring." response Tommy

"you're just Lazy Tom!" said Erin

"Tommy, Finn, Jay, and Red, these three people will always argue on something someone doesn't agree on, Jay is always the Starter, erin the counter, and Red the tie Breaker, or the third opinion that no ones agrees on."

Zack then looked over to Kai "Kai, The cyber ninja, he's not an amputee, but needs cybernetic assist to improve his strenght and power, he got the minds and the mental but pressumably not the Streght."

Zack then puts his attention to Bomb "Bob, an ordinary guy just like me, chosen to be the weilder if the fist of harmony pure hearted, his heart as soft as cotton but brave as a lion, Clear as the Blue sky, and as bright as the sun, those are the type to be destined to weild the Fist, even so he's working out knowing one day he will not be worthy."

Suddenly the school bell rang indicating the recess is over, everyone in the room spontaneously exited the room to their designated classes, when Zack and Red arrived they saw Mb sitting on his desk, Red, approaches him and ask how was the talk with Edgar,

"how did you know?" ask Mb

"Zack read his mind."

"Well that's not nice."

"it was Necesary better than letting Red Overthinks, and you being attacked by a stanger." reply Zack

"well... he wants to meet me in the afternoon on the public park, wanna Join?" ask Mb

"No thanks, i prefer Going home other than joining your business, Captain's stars apprentice."

Mb turned over to Zack and asked the same thing, "No, Im going to Yui's Place this afternoon."

"HEY, IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A SECRET!" Shout Yui

"ohh right.... sorry." response Zack

"Seems like someone is going on a Date..." Tease Red

Zack then replies "not really, i came by to her place because i want to help her re-organize her book collections, in return i can borrow some of her Books, It's a deal."

"Average Zack, reads romance novels but is afraid to ingage in actual romance." tease Red

honestly, i prefer not to, from Mb's experience i can tell it'll be too handful. reply Zack

Surprised Mb then said "Why are you Putting Me into this, and no our relationship are not Tiring."

"yeah because both of you do Long Distance Relationships skipping all the Hanging out, going on a date phase."

Mb responded "hey, I wish i can go out with her but because she's so far away i cannot."

"Teacher." said Zack looking at the door on the room, everyone then proceeds to sit on their desks.

Three Hours later the School bell rang indicating that it is time to go home, last Chance Mb asked Red if he want to join him, Red replied "No" and he want to spend his afternoon relaxing at home, "Suite yourself." said Mb as they split lane at the School's gate.

"are you sure this isn't dating?" Tease Red for the last time before they split for the rest of the afternoon,

Zack looked at Red with a Disappointed face, without saying a word Zack can make Red stop

"are you mad?, becasue your usual face isn't like that, your eyelids is usually 3 cm from your bottom eyelid." ask Red

when they reached the District Red waves a goodbye at Zack, while Zack stands near the district looking at him with the same expression earlier, he stopped staring at him when they no longer see each other.

"what was that?" ask Yui

"Nothing." reply Zack

"So, you four are also neighbours or what?" ask Zack

"Neighbours?, no silly, we're roommates, just like you and Red." said Miyuki

"Shit!" said Zack inside his mind

"No worries they won't bother us." said Yui

Once they Arrived at their house Yui told Zack to sit on the couch while she changes, there he's served a Soda and told to wait, Zack doesn't really like soda, but if she doesn't drink one it would be rude, he opens one can of soda and take a sip, he nearly regrets it, inside Yui's room he hears a running water, knowing she's taking a shower Zack lays back waiting for her to come out of her room, after a while the water stopped and a Door was heared opened, knowing she's almost done Zack takes the last sip of his soda, but due to the condensation on the soda can, it drip on Zack left hand, suddenly his left arm starts freaking out shaking uncontrolably, because of the shaking he spilled soda on the floor and to his left arm, Zack tried to calm it down but because he spilled soda on to it it electricutes him, wondering of what's the fuzz, Yui peek to check when she check on what's going on she saw Zack Ripping his Left hand off and Throwing it onto the couch, the impact silence the Hand.

while Yui is still looked surprised Zack asked "Do you have a Screwdriver?".

they both went inside the Garage to check the tools needed, after a while Zack manages to fix the damages, but not perfectly, the fingers still twitches a little bit. and once they went inside Yui's room, Yui Bombareds him with questions, so then he explains everything

"so you're an amputee this whole time?" ask Yui

Zack responded "Yes"

"may I have a look?" ask Yui

Zack then stick his hands out to hers, "this feels like a real arm, Can You feel?"

"Yes, Yes i can Feel your hands, and No i cant feel pain with it."

"is it okay?"

"No, It got water damaged."

"it's not water proof?"

"no, it is not, it is a Prototype of mark four."

"what's the Diffrence between marks?"

"well, i can feel"

"I have never seen someone to be so astonished by a hand."

"the fact you can feel is."

"Your hand are soft, tell me, how do you do that?" Yui instantly pull her hands of him

"i knew that would work." said Zack

frustrated. Yui Throws a Pillow At Zack's face, She looked away embarressed of what Zack has said to her, "So... where are the Shelves?" ask Zack

Yui apologizes of her act, and take the boxes next to her bookshelves,

Zack take the pillow on the ground placing it on her bed and said "You have an Absurd amount of books there." while observing the books

"well you can say I am pretty much a nerd myself"

"i got to say, you have so many books I do not think you even remember the content of all the books you read."

"uhhh... sometimes when the content isn't as interesting than i expect, im just gonna avoid reading it by putting it on the right shelf."

"oh so the left book shelf are the books you haven't read?" ask Zack

"Yes, and the reason i bought these shelves is so I can place the books that i currently reading and hopefuly doesn't forgot where i put it."

"which happens many times i see."

"yes." said Yui in embarresement, "well then Let's get to work.".

They then starts unboxing the shelves.

"Ok, where do you want to put these shelves?" ask Zack

"hmmm... first, i want One shelf to be on top of the desk so again, i can remember which book i am currently reading, and the other one to be used a place to put my stuff on."

"ok.... so where are the tools?" ask Zack

"We have a Screwdriver, a hammer, and pliers."

Zack Stands near the wall infront of the desk and Bang on the wall, and said "Yui, this is hard concrete and Bricks, we can't just hammer our way in with wood nails, we need a nail for concrete, but if you don't have it, then we'll use a power drill intead and screw it inside the wall."

"uhh... we don't have that here." said Yui in confusement

"Huh.... well the nearest construction store is two kilometers away, and we don't have personal transportation."

"oh, I can borrow it from my neighbour, Hold on just a Second." said Yui as she Leaves the room

"Yui, sometimes can be a childish, sometimes can be the most mature, likes socializing and talk a lot, not as much as Chuck, but Just like Chuck she has a Comaptible companion, Miyuki, a shot, kind hearted girl who changed a lot through out years, not much talktive, Shy, and soft, and caring, somehow, somehow Miyuki Changed a lot, back then she's cold hearted, fearless and brave, so Brave Mb became her victim, it's almost like their Roles are changed, i wouldn't say Mb is as Brave and as Confident as she was but their switch scares me."

"Hey Yui can I Borrow your Shampoo i have ran Out." Said Nova outside the door before barging in

"Yui!, oh... I forgot It's you!" Said Nova surprised to see Zack inside Yui's room

Zack replies "She's out to borrow a power drill from the neighbours."

"I see, I'll ask her later." said Nova before closing the door

"Nova, a Fearsome woman who is so fearsome i thought she has anger issues, and step sisters of Riry, from what i can tell they both are raised by a Martial art Masters, in order to spread the knownledge and protect people from evil, what a Comercial motives for people."

Suddenly Yui barges into the room, while heavely breathing she asked "What's Next?"

"first of all, why are you out of breath, and how far were you?"

"That's not important, I'm just too excited that all."

Zack then stands up saying "first we mark where the holes are gonna be, and then we Drill making the holes, and I assume you have one of those plastic things where you put inside the holes for it have grips."

"yes, yes we have that." reply Yui still in exhausment

"Good."

"Then?"

"Then let's do it." said Zack picking up the already build shelf.

The process takes almost take and Hour but they compeleted it Flawlessly

"Now, all we need is to test how strong is it." Said Zack

"So... do i sit on it?" ask Yui

"of course not, the bar will hold up, but not the wood."

"You wouln't know if we haven't test it." hearing those words from Yui, Zack stares at Yui using the same stare he uses On Red on their way home.

"ah right the Books." said Yui before turning around and Looking around on the right bookshelf, meanwhile Zack is Looking around on the Left Bookshelf,

"nothing interest me so far, any good books you can recommend me?" Said Zack

"well, theres three i am Planning to re-read, one is about a guy who decided to be a Soldier and went on a Emotional roller coaster while in the military, the other one is about a signle mother who is in a Coma after atempting to commite suicide with her young daughter, and went on a reality slap while in a Coma, and one is about a father who is Wronged by his own family."

replied Zack "im not saying it is boring but seems too emotional for me." he then Proceeds to look around on the right bookshelf and saw an old looking book that has been through a lot.

"what is this about?" ask Zack as he Took out the book from the shelf, Yui looks at the book and said "I don't know, honestly, i don't remember buying or owning it, or probably just an old book my late father." her Expression changes

Zack looks at her eyes and said "So that what happens to your family." Yui looks back at Zack and ask "How did you know?,ohh right The Eye."

"I am Sorry i didn't know it can do that."

"What do you mean?"

"Usual I and the target must do Eye contact, but this time i dont have to, odd."

"you know you can keep it if you want." said Yui as she holds the book that's on Zack's lap

"Anyways, here's a Romance book you would love, it's about a lover who's the girl got into an accident and forgot the day they met."

while she Explains all the books about romance Zack opens the book that are on his hands, he Blanks out on one sentence from the Book it says "To Control the shadows, you earn it's trust."

"That's it, this what i needed, Shadow magic," said Zack to himself ignoring Yui's explanations.

"Zack you Alright?" ask Yui

"I need to go home now!" said Zack

"leaving so soon? i thought you would borrow some of my books?" said Yui

Zack calms down and responded "right i'll take all of your recommendations." said Zack as he is In a Rush.

When he got home he saw Red, and Clara all gathering up on the Kitchen table

"Perfect!" said Zack as he sprinting to the Kitchen table

"someone looks excited, so how's the Date?" tease Red

Shooked Clara then asked "Zack had a Date?"

"No, he's just Teasing me."

"you know Zack if you do have a Date just tell me, atleast introduce me to her." Said Clara

"Anyways, Clara!, i wanna take a Break from school for full week."

"wow wow wow, What's so sudden?" shook Red

"Zack, I will let you take a Break from school but for a week?, you will miss alot."

"Don't worry, i can handle it, I promise it'll be worth it, it might sounds weird but i found out how to gain a new power."

"Zack you know Powers can't be just-"

"Listen!, this book here said that 'those who are willing to be the shadow's wielder, must know it's nature' and by that there are ways for me to gain the shadows trust, and learn it's nature, it says here i can learn it's true nature after gaining it's trust, and how to gain it's trust is to be in the shadow for 7 days, and 7 nights, this might sounds weird but what's wrong wih trying."

Clara Approaches Zack and said "Zack, if you want to take a Break from school it is okay, you don't have to make up story's from your book."

"so... is that a yes?" ask Zack

"Yes, you can take a break from school."

the sun has set, Zack prepares himself to isolate himself from light. after finnishing he turns off his phone throwing it somewhere in the room so he couldnt find it until the last night, in case he's hungry he prepares snacks near him so doesnt die of starvation, and thus the isolation begins.
