Enemies With The Shadows

Chapter Three - The Encounter

The three heroes had gotten to an empty and dimly lit street corner. “We meet back here in about an hour. Got it?” Ranboo siad.
“Ugh. Fine.” Innit replied, crossing his arms.
“Split up. Tubbo, you take left. Innit, you take right.” Ranboo began to walk off.
“Wait! How will we know if someone else is in danger?” Tubbo asked.
“Uhh… Tubbo, you glow. Innit, you sprint. And I have a flashlight I can use if needed.” Ranboo said. “Are we all good now?”
“Yeah. Now split up!” Innit shouted before running off. Ranboo also ran off, Tubbo running off a few seconds after.

Innit had been wandering for a while, before hearing footsteps. He quickly put on the bravest act he could. “Who’s there?” He shouted. “Show yourself!” He took a step forward, only to be swept off his feet. He fell to the ground, his head hitting the concrete. “AGH SHIT-!” He got up, punching the dark figure around him. There was a grunt, before the figure disappeared, leaving nothing but a strange smoke where they once were. “The hell..?” Innit stood there in disbelief. He had just watched someone turn to smoke in front of his own eyes. Suddenly, he felt a small stab in his arm.

Innit slowly woke up, Tubbo and Ranboo standing over him. “RAN HE’S WAKING UP!” Tubbo shouted.
“Oh thank god…” Ranboo crouched down to Innit’s level. Innit slowly sat up, groaning.
“God that hurt..”
“I bet it did.” Ranboo replied. “What exactly happened?”
“I found the prick.” Innit started.
“You did? What did they look like?” Tubbo asked.
“Couldn’t tell. They just… disappeared… before I could see. I got one punch in before they disappeared.” Innit sighed.
“What happened after that? There’s no way that disappearance caused you to pass out.” Ranboo said, wrapping Tommy’s head in bandages.
“I don’t know! I felt a small poke, then next thing I knew, you two were here… god my head hurts like hell..” Tommy groaned.
“Yeah looks like you hit it.” Mark picked up Tommy. “Let’s head back to my place, alright? You seem pretty hurt.”
“Yeah that sounds like a good idea.” Toby nodded.
“Fine…” Tommy sighed. Mark nodded, as him, Tommy, and Toby made their way back to Mark’s home.
