- 24 Hours earlier-
"Alright Men, lights out. We've got more work tomorrow.." The Commander states.
"Yes sir!" The soldiers yell as they walk to their rooms.
The commander sighs and sits in his leather chair.
"I am getting nowhere with this plan... we've lost Shadow.. the gem and I cant get my hands on other 20+ ranked Beings!" He smashed his hand into the control panel.
He sighs once again as the lights flicker off.
"I believe I can help with that.." a voice bellows behind him.
The commander swings around with a gun in hand.
"Whos there!?" He yells.
The being steps onto the cold concrete ground.
He wearing a dark black robe as You might recognize this feature.
He puts down his hood to reveal a face of bone.
"My Name is Zovaal, I'm the leader of the Shadow council.." he smiles with a boney grin.
"..you.." he starts. "Why are you here.."
"I'm here to strike a bargain.." Dark mists start radiating around his boney fingers.
"You give me what I want and I'll give you what you want.." he smiles again.
"Why would I ever trust someone like you.." he growls. "Aren't you the bad guy?"
"Also, I'm the leader of a group of undercover agents. Did you really think this through before coming in here?" He spouts.
"I already dealed with your men.." he smiles. "I know a thing or two about Magic.."
The commanders hands begin to shake along with the gun.
"As I was saying, a Bargain.."
Zovaal waves his hands and reveals the tiny shards of the necklace that Shadow was wearing.
"I believe this is what your looking for" he says as the crystals float over to the commander.
The commander takes the crystals and covers them with the palm of his other hand.
"How..how did you get this" The Commander asks.
Zovaal smiles.
"I have my secrets.."
"You..your in charge- your"
He wraps his boney hands around the commanders shoulders.
"Shhh.. what is it that you desire. As long, as you agree to my bargain.." Zovaal reminds him.
The commander sighs and hesitates to speak up.
"What must I do.."

(Shadows POV)
"Unhand me at once!" I yell.
"We don't take orders from you" A guard yells.
They drag me down the hallway.
"I said unhand me this-"
I get thrown into a dark room and hear the door get slammed and lock shut behind me.
"Shadow" A voice begins.
The voice draws closer and it's the commander.
"Shadow do you understand why your here?" He asks.
"Sir I have no clue why I'm here.." I sigh. " and why did you have to make them drag me.."
He slams his fist on the table to get my attention.
"You FAILED me Shadow." The commander growls.
"Sir what did you want me to do?!" I yell. "I got overpowered!"
It's silent for a couple seconds.
"Your the Ultimate Lifeform.. don't give me that petty excuse" he sighs.
"Sir I!-"
"Enough. I'll have to do this myself.." he says walking towards me.
"I have a new assignment for you while I do business..."
I look up at him as he hands me a file and pen.
"Destroy the Shadow councils new Vessel.."
"And bring me her head "
