Lord Shadow

MEANWHILE IN THE WORLD GOVERNMENT HEADQUARTERS

A man can be seen sneakily entering the Vault of Weapons.

The Vault of Weapon was made from marbled stones and was high as a four-story building with a width of five baseball field.

Inside it, the World Government stores all their weapon gained by battle with monsters and rewards from completing a quest.

The man entering the Vault was short. 5’5 tall, the man also had a little limp in his left feet and he walks slowly but with determination.

His hair was short and his eyes were hazel. His body also a little bit plum. Behind him, four guards can be seen to be unconscious.

Not far away from the guard an incense burning could be seen stuck in the ground emitting purple smokes.

An Artifact.

No doubt, the short man was using the incense to make the guards unconscious.

The man was sweating from head to toe. His hand keeps having these tremors and his heart was beating wildly.

But he needs to do it.

‘I need to do it’ he said as he clenches his fist.

He wipes his sweat and slowly he moves deeper inside the Vault.

He light up the Light fragment and light fill the area around him like a flashlight lighting his way.

As he walks forward, he could see hundreds of weapons inside the vault.

All kinds of weapons that the World Government acquired from hunting monsters were stored here.

He could see hundreds of kinds of swords, spears, staff, futuristic weapons, and many more could be seen.

He could also see doors in every part of the Vault marked with numbers. Mostly the door will lead to some kind of Artifact weapons or shields, or other high tiered weapons.

But he spares not even a glance for them.

What he is searching for was a Hyper Drive. Even as he was searching high and low inside the vault, he could not help but think of what will happen to him if he got caught.

To be honest, the man himself does not want to do this. But he had no choice. His family is with them.

Ayu and his son Jamal is with them. Slowly he walked deeper and then he reached the door. The door was marked not with a number but with an acronym.

R&D.

The man smiles as he could see that the salvation for his family is at hand. He takes out the key from the pocket of his pants and slowly he slide it inside the keyhole.

And then slowly he opens the door and then when he fully open the door he gasped and was so stunned that he falls back and fall to the ground with shock.

The reason why he was so shocked is because when he opens the door, he sees someone…someone he did not expect.

Will the Dark Speedster was waiting for him, sitting on chair relaxingly with blue lightning swirling around his body

‘Oh, you’re late, Budiman. I was waiting for you.’ Will said as he got up from the chair and slowly approaches Budiman.

His step was slow but Budiman could not help but pray that Will step will become even slower.

Budiman could not even move an inch as he was frozen on the ground, paralyzed by fear. When finally Will reach him, he squatted and looks at Budiman eyes.

Budiman lower his gaze and look at the ground as his hand was trembling in fear.

Budiman was already thinking of his end.

‘This is it! I’m busted. Raymond will execute me.’ This is his thought but then Will said something that rekindled his hope for life.

‘My friend wanted to propose a deal with you, Budiman.’ And Budiman slowly look up and ask.

‘A deal’ he said stuttering in fear. He gulped and then he asked.

‘Who’s your friend, Dark Speedster?’ Smiling, Will answered.

‘I think you’ve met him before when he crash your battleship.’

‘You don’t mean?’ Budiman widened his eyes as he finally understand who Will is talking about

‘Lord Shadow’ Will said slowly and then he said

“Hold on tight’ Will grab Budiman arms and then he run leaving only a blue lightning trail in the air.

***

That day, all the upper echelons of the World Government were shocked to found out that Budiman was a spy planted by the League of Freedom.

President Hirate on the other hand had to listen the Quorum complaints about the missing hyper drive.

Will was awarded with a seat in the Quorum for his service and intelligence.

Will manage to uncover a conspiracy that would have probably toppled the World Government organization if the conspiracy was let to fester.

All the while, the forces of World Government were deployed to search and capture Budiman.

Pandikar was sentenced a house arrest by the President Order with Raymond Army guarding him and taking control of the Admiralty.

Pandikar was also suspected and is waiting for the Quorum decision.

From the intelligence that Lord Will has given the Quorum, it has been said when Will have managed to uncover the conspiracy he quickly went to the vault only too discovered the unconscious guard and Budiman taking the Hyper drive.

As he tries to capture Budiman, Warp appears and teleported almost instantly with Budiman on tow.

His statement was taken and the evidence was presented to the Quorum.

There is no suspicion on his story, so the World Government has posted a bounty on the capture of Warp and Budiman.

Of course, unknown to all these forces, Budiman is now inside a Palace with his family. The Palace is called the Grain Palace.

It was the same Palace that Loki, Sofia and Sina stay in when they were hunted by the World Government.

There is a puppeteer controlling the events of the world, shaping it according to his will with his machinations and plots…and he is shrouded in shadows.
