On the couch listening to my music I hear a song "Hero" by Skillet. As I hear the music I start to think "I still remember my first time of becoming Shadow man I was a moron when I first started fighting those criminals. And sounded so confident when I told my friends about becoming Shadow Man.
(Flashback years ago)
Me and my friends were in the lunchroom and I said to them "I want to become a vigilante for people guys." Niko gives me a look, Nightmare coughs while he drinks, Grim says "You what?", Gato says "Are you nuts Shadow!!!" I look at them and say "When I mention my relationship you guys ignore me but when I say I want to become a vigilante you guys start calling me a mad man." they all hit me and keep calling me stupid for bringing up a topic that was dumb like always. As I look at them I say "I'm still gonna do it whether you guys like it or not." as they look at me Grim says "Are you sure Shadow I mean you are still in high school." I look at him and say "When I first brought it up you guys were okay with it." Gato looks and yells "WE THOUGHT YOU WERE JOKING AROUND!!" I give them a smirk and say "I mainly joke about dumb arguments that we have but I don't joke about becoming a vigilante." they give me one last look and say "Are you sure wanna go through with this Shadow I mean stopping criminals that you have no idea on who knows that they might kill you." as I give them one last look and say "Look guys i'm just gonna stop one little crime and then i'm done since I don't want people to know that there is a vigilante helping in different areas." they all sigh and say again be careful and that I can still withdrawal from becoming a vigilante.
As I get home I go to the attic to where I get my vigilante costume and also to where I hid the scythe i'm gonna use for Shadow Man as I get them and put them under my bed since I cleaned up my room today and nobody checks under my bed it was a good hiding spot to put them. As I get out of my room I see Dany there just looking at me and said "What did you put in your room?" I give him a weird look and say "What are you talking about?" he says "I saw you carry something black and a stick to your room what did you put in your room?" I give him a look and say "Say something else and lock your doors tonight if you wanna see tomorrow." he just looks away and turns around to go to his room, I just sigh and mumble "This kid is gonna kill me before the day that I reach to my deathbed." as I lay on my bed and see my fan blades moving due to it being on and I think "Just one little save, one little crime to stop and then i'll go back to being normal Shadow "If I make it out alive." as the hour goes by to me watching stuff on my TV and texting Cameron about our day and how much we love each other (I just thought of this while writing). My dad comes in my room and says "Turn off the tv and go to bed you have school tomorrow." I grab the remote and turn off the tv, went to the bathroom to brush my teeth then put on my retainer, then went to my room to fake falling asleep to go to my first destination of Shadow man Wellston. As the time strikes 2:00am I decide to make my move I get up slowly and quietly so I can put my costume and my weapon and leave the house and somehow make it to Wellston. I decide to do the dumbest thing basically "I get on top of a parked cab and pull out google maps to see that i'm going the right way, which was a bad idea to do I heard from the cab's radio that there is a man on a cab who is a "Criminal" as I heard this I think "If I ever decide to do this again make sure that i'm not noticeable on a car. As I get off and start walking around the Wellston area I get some weird looks mainly since i'm carrying a weapon wearing a weird costume like it's Halloween even though it's the beginning of November.
As I continue walking around the streets for a few minutes trying to see if there is a crime I can stop but there is nothing. I am just walking around like a moron who thought it was Halloween, as time goes by I get more and more tired, and cold I start thinking "I should go home I have school in the morning and it's probably an hour or 2 ride home due to me getting on top of a cab without thinking, and was called a criminal." As I think of heading home for the night I hear someone yell "HELP ME I'M GETTING ROBBED!!!!!" as I hear that scream I say "Well here's my time to shine." as I run to the source of the sound I see an old women trying to get back her purse from 2 guys that were like in their 20's. I look and say in a deep voice "Hey give that purse back to her." they look and see me and say "Who in the world are you little boy?" I breath in and say "A vigilante who's going to help people." as the other man laughed saying "You a little boy who's going to help people, you better walk away before we hurt you." I answer with a confident tone as I drew my scythe "Giver back her purse or your gonna regret encountering me." as I shake a little in fear I hear in the voice in the back of my head say "Just stay calm and be confident." As the man charges at me I dodge and say "This is your last chance to give back the purse and walk away." he charges at me again and I use my scythe and tried to slash him and I hit him at the side of his stomach as he groans a little he says "You think your really cocky with that weapon you got, I got one to little boy." he pulls out a switch blade that he owns and I inhale and charge at him with my scythe and I try to slash him again but he keeps dodging my attacks as I get kinda sick of him, I hold my scythe backwards and do and upwards slash as I hit him, I switch my scythe sideways and the flat part hits him on top of the head knocking him out as I see his friend just standing I say "You also want to go up against me or are you just gonna stand there." He looks at me and says "I don't fall easily like my partner you just knocked out." as I grab my scythe firmly I charge at him he dodges normally and sweeps my legs as I fall face first I concrete I just sigh and say "Of course I fall for the dumbest move ever known to mankind." as I get back up and say "You won't be able to trick me again." he smirks and says "You really think you can still take me on little boy, you should just run home and leave." I just give one last look and say "I'm not running away, i'm gonna beat you" (Just so you know I don't know how to write some of these fighting scenes so these are gonna be quick, and I'm trying to explain these fights the best I can do) I grab my scythe and switch so it's facing normally and charge to do some slashes at him as he dodges to make my scythe hit the wall. As I keep missing he says "Nice try kid but you can't beat me I try to charge at him and try to hit him I try not to use my scythe since he mainly gonna dodge but not in hand to hand combat." hr smiles and tries to punch me in the face as I dodge and sweep his legs and when I sweep him, I kick and punch him in the ribs when he's down. I redrew my scythe and use the flat side to knock him out and grab the purse and give it back to the women and she says "Who are you?" I look and say "Just a person who's doing what's right." I grab the spray cans I have and write SM on the unconscious men. She looks at me and runs off I call the cops and say where I am and I leave saying "Now time to get home, which is gonna take 2 hours."
(Hours later)
I get back upstairs in my room and change out of my vigilante clothes hid it in my closet so my family doesn't ask why I have this clothing and also put my scythe behind the radiator in my room so they don't also ask about that. I look up and say "I just did my first save and I liked it even though I looked like a moron. Ask one hour goes by I get ready for school. As I arrive at school the day was normal until I reach global history my teacher puts a news story and I see the women it's the one I gave the purse back, the news reporter asks the women "So do you know who the person saved you was?" she responds with quick "No" the news reporter asks "What did he or she look like" "Well it was a male he looked like a teenager but he kept his voice low and used a scythe to fight of those men then wrote SM." the news reporter looks back and says "You heard it here there might be a superhero here in the area of Wellston helping people." I look and say "I just did one little save and they are already calling me a superhero.
