barchetta's introduction hello I am barchetta but I am often called sea by my friends, the reason for both names is that I was found on a row boat which is what the word barchetta means. so now I am going to tell you my story, my path. it all started when my friend tomoshibi and I were at the movies we just watched a good movie and then we noticed one of my favorite movies was going to show soon, Dracula the original in black and white, but we were out of money so we decide to go get some money from the bank next door. we went and stood in line for awhile when to guys in trench coats and sunglasses came in. they held up a gun and

said "don't move"

so nobody moved and they tried to steal money when sirens started. the phone began to ring, one guy picked it up and

said " hello? oh so this is the police chief, yep we got hostages so don't come in or we will kill them all and to prove we are serious we will shoot one right now."

one grabbed me and took me to the roof. he put his gun to my head and with a smile on his face he pulled the trigger. I found my self falling into blackness falling, when I suddenly stopped. I watched a old man in all black walk out of the darkness, he had skin as white as paper, it seemed to glow in the darkness.

he said " hello barchetta, it is time for you to play your role. it is time for you to help tomoshibi, get stronger, strong enough to destroy the approaching darkness, I gave you powers when you both were born but it was locked up, I give you the key to your powers."

he threw to me a black crest with a star and black gems. then he walked away into the darkness.

the beginning tomoshibi introduction
I am tomoshibi my name means light and I am here to tell you about my story, my role, my path. just as sea said it began in a theater we went to the bank and he was taken up the stairs, and that is where my part begins. he was being taken up stairs and I was sneaking around the other guy, I intended to take him out, when I got behind him I grabbed his gun and kicked him in the shins knocking him down, and then I hit redial the police and told them to come in now that the one guy was incapacitated, so I went to open the door for them when they came running in and I got hit by the door and was knocked out cold. I found myself falling, in the darkness, when suddenly I stopped. I saw a guy walk out with clothes as dark as night, and skin as light as the moon.

he said " it is time to play your role, as the hero that will save the world from the darkness. at birth I gave you the powers of light. Now I give you the key."

he passed a white crest with a star and white jewels. Then he walked away back into the darkness.

sea to shadow
I was in the darkness floating around, looking when I found a gate, I open the door and found my self in a cavern their was a bed, a few books most were my favorites, a TV, VCR and videos also my favorite. then there was in the center of the room, a table with a glass orb and a cut from the table in the shape of my crest. I placed my crest into the hole and images began to appear, first was a yellow tape saying police investigation, or something like that. then it moved over to my body on the ground. at that time I was kind of freaked out but I half expected that at the same time. then it blurred and showed showed the image of a black knight, that

said "hello I am here to help you out by explaining how to use your crest to you, you can concentrate to make shadows take shape, and that is all I am going to tell you about that for now, as for your job you have two responsibilities now that you are dead, first is to make your friend stronger you do that how ever you can, you know him better then I do, second is to destroy anything that comes out of that gate until he is strong enough to eradicate the beast. those are your duties"

then I said " alright I accept those jobs"

then I grabbed my crest and played with it for awhile, then I sat down and thought up a plan on my chair that I made, and I finally I came up with a great plan.

tomoshibi's grief
I opened my eyes and found a nurse about to give me a shot,

"ugh where am I?" I asked.

"you are in the hospital" came her replied.

"I figured that much out, so why am I here?",

"you are here because the door smacked you in the head, and you got knocked out.",she said.

"so what is that shot you were about to give me?",

"it is a pain killer, I thought you would want it since you would wake up soon."

"right yeah I would like that , it feels like I got hit by a semi." I said.

her expression changed to real pale. "you felt that?" she asked.

"felt what?" I said anxiously.

"well on your way here in the ambulance, that I was driving we got his by a semi truck, because I was in a hurry and did not see him coming and our emergency lights were not working. you were lucky, so please don't hold it against me." she said.

"um, no broken bones right?", I said.

"no broken bones."

"and I am alive.... so I wont hold it against you, just next time drive more carefully." I said.

"yes sir I wont ever get hit by a semi while I am driving an ambulance again." she said

"good, good I am glad that you won't do that ever again, so please give me the shot and, then I will go back to sleep if that is ok with you."

"yes sir."

I woke up again, during vi sting hours. my parents came.

"hello son we have some good news, and some bad. first thing is you are alive, second thing is we brought you a cake, third thing is sea, is dead."

at that I was at full attention at first I thought oh my best friend is dead, then I thought maybe I should lighten the mood. so when I sprung up

I said " what, you brought me cake!?"

right away I could tell the joke was not working. after that I sulked for awhile. at night I picked up, the crest from my bedside table, and

said,"this is the price of power then I don't want it at all."

I then through it at the wall and cried for awhile. when I heard a scratching on my window.

shadows plan
I practiced for a while until tomoshibi was well enough to fight. then what I did was at night I sneaked into there house and went up stairs careful not to make the stairs creak. slowly, very slowly. then I went down the hall and stopped at tomoshibi's parents room. I then sent my shadows creeping under the door and into their brains. there I had my shadows hit all the right spots to keep them asleep for a while. then I opened the door walked to the bed and slung them one at a time over my shoulders. I then carefully went down the stairs and out the front door. I brought them to my base, there I grabbed the camera and took a picture then I picked up the letter that read, dear tomoshibi, I have kidnapped your parents, meet me at the hotel in the center of town, on the roof at midnight, or your parents will die. p.s. bring the crest you got from the bank incident. your enemy shadow I sent a pigeon formed of shadows to deliver the message. then I headed out to the meeting place with his parents. once there I made a cage of shadow and put them in, and waited, after a while he was there, right on time.

I said, "good evening."

then he asked, "why do you want me here?!"

"you want the crest don't you I can tell you do!!" he said,

"not in the least I just want to fight you, oh and from now on not have to kidnap to get you to come, so if I summon you know that someone will die if you do not come." I said.

then I released his parents and teleported them home.

"so let the fight begin!" I said

after that I created a spear of shadow and chucked it at him. he dodged to one side.

I then said, "you can turn light into a solid if you concentrate with the crest."

he did just that and formed a saber out of the light. I too formed a sword out of shadow. oh and you must know that during this whole time I am in armor made out of shadow so he will not recognize me. I ran up and struck with my sword of shadow, he blocked with his sword. I then threw another spear of shadow he caught it, then turned the spot light on it and generated a spear of light. I ran back up and hacked he blocked, then I fell back and he charged foreword, he jumped up stabbed with sword followed by spear. I caught the sword end and blocked his spear with my sword. he then fell back and charged foreword again, I blocked his sword and he pushed forward for a few seconds in which I saw a black dog behind him. I smacked him aside, knowing what the dog was, charged forward and hacked it. it was a demon from beyond the gate. I created a shadow detector, and saw there was two more, one in the office building beside the one we are on and one down in the sewers. thus I looked over to where tomoshibi just got up and I started circling like a boxer. he followed suit and we started circling along the edge, when he got to the right side I formed a shadow ball and threw it at him, he got knocked over the side I then jumped off too, and created a rope of shadows, I than at the end of the rope willed a safety net, he landed on the net then I did, my force bounced him off into the window of the office building I then jumped in, third room on the right I backed into tomobishi went after me I killed the shadow, then he turned on the lights. as the lights went on I was like this is trouble and I formed a ball of shadow and threw it up at one of the light fixtures before it could turn on. then tomoshibi started charging up his attack, he launched it, a giant laser beam, and it hit. right in the chest, but it was not flesh and blood that replied no it was a black mist coming out of my so called body. then I look up at him and he is frozen stiff, I was wondering why when I looked at my self closer, my armor was gone. I quickly jumped out the window and made a rope of shadow to connect to the building. then I ran along the side of the building until I saw the man hole, I jumped towards it. created a ball of shadow and chucked it down at the man hole breaking it open. I then summoned two more ropes connecting to the hole, I used them to guide my decent, then I made a air bag out of shadow, and braced for impact. I then checked the shadow detector and found the demon dog, and killed it. I then continued in the direction of the my home base, that was one hell of a night.

ijsje's introduction
hi I am ijsje, but I currently I go by ice, I was ijsje before I died. then a mysterious person appeared, and

said "I have given you the power of ice, now go and find your dark master, that you are to serve."

soon after that I met a demon called dark,and I served under him. till one day I was instructed to steal the dark crest from the gate keeper. so I went to the gate and opened it up. there was a person in the building snoozing. he was having a dream, as you guessed this is shadow. he told me about his dream later in life so here, is his dream, he first saw a boat burning all around him with figures about twice his size, and their was a dagger in his hand. swoop one person down, a male, swoop, another now a female, at this point he starts laughing, hacking down every body that comes near him he approaches a life boat and jumps on, then he cuts the rope and the boat drops into the water where he paddles away. during this dream he was muttering something once I saw his mouth mutter, second time, and finally I hear what he is saying kill, kill kill. this scares me a bit but, I still goes closer. I reached down for the crest then his eyes flicked open, those eyes were not human, I froze in fear thinking he is a demon he is a demon, he is a demon, in the morning I realize I am in the feudal position muttering he is a demon he is a demon.

then I snapped out of it when I heard the question, "who are you?"

it took me a second to think about it, I said "I am ice" barely audible.

"what are you here for?" he asked

I look up and see he is a completely diff rent person then last night. he is normal, so I think it over very quickly, then I came up with a plan, and

said " I am here to serve you my master."

I was actually planing to make him think that then steal the crest.

he said "OK, you can serve me, if you prove yourself powerful."

"how" I asked,

he replied with " battle my enemy tomoshibi"

"ok I will battle him I use ice to battle." I said.

"alright then I will send him to a walk in freezer how about here" he said

as he summoned up a map and pointed.

I said " there will be just fine."

he then writes up a note and attaches it to a crow he made. I then went there with him, he put all the guards to sleep as we walked. we both sat in the freezer and waited, he came very soon after.

"OK ice this is your battle I will sit here." said shadow.

then the battle began I sent a wave of ice at him, he blocked with light, again, and again. then I aimed for the light bulbs that provided light, striking them all out. I then sent a wave of ice at him he became a solid thing of ice, I thought it was over until, I saw electricity run down from the light fixture, into him melting him free. I strike with another wave of ice he sends forth a wave of lightning towards me. shadow chuckled then disappeared. right before the lighting hit, I changed to ice and drifted out of there back to base.

shadow said " well you are strong enough to serve me for a while."
