The Shadow Knight Begins: Part Three: Endgame

Chapter 4: Confrontation At Finch Tower

FINCH TOWER: 2ND FLOOR

"He's running towards us boss!" the leader of the squad of night skulls said terrified into his speaker phone, "he's looking right at us, he's almost at the door!"

"Shut up and grow some!" The brains voice yelled back, "you have weapons designed to counteract him remember, just shoot him quickly, even he's not that fast...not with the P.E special drugs I supplied to you and your men! You have the access keys needed to get to the maintenance stairway. Don't you dare fail me!"

"You heard the boss, keep you guns on him!" the night skull ushered his men to cover the door bellow the second floor of the mezzanine floors.

They all aimed their guns and watched as the vigilante they had all become afraid of as much as the brain of crime run up the outside parking lot outside the building, eyes blazing.

They decided to place their belief in the fact that these guns had been designed to kill the shadow knight, and hope their boast that they were the worst guns in town... wasn't an insult but a commendation.

They then watched something astonishing happen, three feet to the door, the vigilante seemed to implode into a mass of darkness which flew foreword until it struck the door.

Like some creature from a nightmare, the shadow mass became liquid like and began seeping through the tiny cracks in the door, like black ink, then it exploded in size when it made it through the doors tiny cracks, in a second it became a shroud of darkness which engulfed the entire surface of the two floors, plunging the night skulls into pitch black, the lights on the ceiling had even been covered by the shadow mess.

"Madre Dios!" one of the Night skulls exclaimed.

"Not even close" a disembodied voice coming from all around the night skulls.

"Switch the goggles on now!" the night skull leader ordered, "now!"

As they did, they found out that when they did, they all became blinded by some kind of darkness.

The leader was the only one who wasn't affected he watched as his fellow night skulls all started fumbling, and waving their hands frantically in front of their night vision goggles, "I can't see!, I can't see!" they all said in their own ways.

"HA HA HA HA HA HA" the voice laughed sinisterly.

The lead night skull suddenly heard shrieks and screams from all around him, flashes of light and swishing sounds, followed by more laughter.

Then suddenly, dead silence.

The silence was enough to terrify the lead night skull.

Suddenly the dark shroud began to shrink away from all around him, away from the walls, and the surface of the floor.

Revealing all 199 of the night skulls members on the floor, unconscious or stunned, groaning in pain all around him.

The darkness then formed back into the vigilante in the middle of the room, who when he was rendered blood and flesh again, was standing right in front of the lead night skull that was standing there, petrified.

"I remember you!" the shadow knight said darkly, "you tried to kill the hostages in Kishi Tower when your boss told you too"

"How..." the lead night skull said, finally finding his voice, "the boss said..."

"that these night vision goggles and the guns would work on me?" the shadow knight cut in, "I already know what the guns do that's why I didn't fall for that trick again, I adapted my fighting strategy, and the goggles" the knight held up his hand, from every one of the night skulls on the grounds night vision goggles, flew out animated darkness which then began to hover the shadow knights hand, "I can manipulate shadows... especially the ones cast over the eyes by night vision goggles.....HA HA HA HA HA!"
