THE SHADOW 


As every one else in the school shouted and played Luna sat in the seats at the barricade with her head bent backwards staring at the sky.      'why do I have to live in this good forsaken place with her . She always brings me to places I don't intend to be in"
Luna pulled out a photo from her wallet and stared at it . Ever since her parents divorced she was stuck with her mom mainly she didn't even want to stay with her mom she loved her father more and wanted to be with him but her mom had won and she was now with her
She hadn't seen her father for years and as she looked at the picture of her and her father of the first time he taught her to ride a horse memories came flooding back to her .
The first time she was so scared to even get on the horse .But her father held her and then let her slowly on top of the horse .
"Hey Luna ,what u doing here " that voice Luna back to the present time.She looked up and saw Jones coming towards her of all the people Jones was someone who always taunted her and somehow he found it very fascinating .
Luna was plumpy and never spoke much to anyone and had few friend and during games period she always isolated herself and used to stare at her dad's photo .
"So gone into dream Land again " Jones called out in his annoying tone "leave me alone Jones don't you have anything better to do " she yelled back at him
"As a matter of fact nothing is better than taunting u fatty" that was one of the things he nicknamed her and at ways he always laughed if anyone joined him or not
Luna rolled her eyes the last thing she wanted today was Jones and his oh _so _funny jokes .She had one way to make Jones shut that and that was to leave him .So she got up and started walking away .As she was leaving Jones shouted from the back "Forget if he's never coming back ,not for u not for anyone ,he just doesn't care ,ur father".Luna felt her anger surge up inside her she turned and yelled back "He will be back if not for anyone he will be back for me ,he loves me ,he still does and he always will." With that she stormed away . She don't stop anymore cause she dint want anyone to see her crying she ran all the way to her class and started sobbing uncontrollably .She stopped when she felt a hand on her shoulder ,she looked up and saw Jim looking sympathetically at her "Jones again " he asked reading her eyes .She nodded her head in response."why does he do this I'm anyways upset about dad and now him sometimes I just wish I could throw away this ......." Before she could finish Jim closed her mouth and said "shh u know why u are here, why we all are here why if people hear u u need to be strong so wipe ur tears and stand up  and get back to character people will be coming soon and we can't risk people seeing us ".Luna stood up and got ready to play her part she knew how important her staying here was but she really wanted to go back and see her father .
Jones came in and seeing them started again "If u guys always keep on meeting each other secretly people r going to think that u guys are seeing each other or something"
"Well u know what I'm thinking , that how will face look after I punch u. "retorted Luna .Jim left them bickering at each other .It wasn't easy for him either controlling both of them .He listened for sometime and when he had enough of it and he yelled "SHUT UP ,both of you or else I'm going to literally beat the shit out of u two " when Jim said something like that he meant it Every time .So they both knew to shut up and sit down Jones was a well built guy with green eyes and pretty tough but he was no match for Jim Jim towered over most people in their class and mostly a damn strong guy He literally could. beat up almost even fully grown adults and with his green intimidating eyes he was enough for even an idiot to not challenge him .
By then Luna friends came in and pulled her away and said "hey u have no idea who is in charge of the decorations for the stage this time " Luna looked at Stella and Anya and said "us? " "Yes " both of them yelled and the girls did their Happy dance that was just squealing as they jumped hugging each other ."So whats the theme ?" Was Luna question.She was really dying to decorate the stage for Halloween"Death " said Anya she was mainly the most serious one in their group and definitely the way she said it was with the most serious expression."oh ,come on now Anya u say it as though someone actually died " Luna found it strange that Anya could be so sarcastic."well how to say death in a happy way ?"Anya gave the answer everyone knew not to disagree with or have an answer for it .Just then a crow outside seemed to be looking at them it looked pretty normal.but if one looked closely then they would have realized that the crow had cameras for eyes .
Through the crows eyes another pair of eyes was looking at them .He smiled sisterly and said to himself "I got u now ,u have nowhere to hide now " He turned to a couple of men in Black masks and ninja suits and ordered them "Get me those kids alive .I want their hearts beating "He said showing them the picture of Luna ,Jim and Jones.

PART ONE ENDS HERE

Halloween party and stage decorations we're not easy depending on the theme being death skeletons took a lot of time to make and the zombies needed to be stuffed with a lot of cotton and painting it to make it look real was a lot tiring .So the girls had put it off to the next day .As Luna was walking back to her hostel, she felt it was weird that a crow seemed to be wherever she went ,it almost felt tlike that the crow was watching her She felt that it was silly but something was off about that crow .
"Daydreaming again fatty " the familiar voice made Luna roll her eyes and without turning around asked in a pretty srcastic tone "What do u want Jones?" .Jones ran and caught up with her though she did not enjoy his company she don't want to go back with a bad throat by arguing with him so she had no choice than to walk with him . "So what were u thinking about ?" Asked Jones .And the last thing Luna wanted to do was give Jones another reason to tease her ."Nothing and plus u would be the last person I want to tell if I was" Luna answered him ."
Jones: "Why do u have to be mean to me like that "
Luna : "Because every time we talk u always seem to have weird ways to bug me a lot"
Jones:"OK I just thought that j felt like that crow was staring at me "
Luna stopped in her tracks "you felt that way too "
Jones : "of course ,we'll come on a moron would know that "
Luna "That explains why u would know "
Jones : "very funny ,but seriously don't you feel that way too "
"Well good to know I'm not the only one " Jim voice made them turn around  and saw him coming towards them he stopped near them and turned to look at the crow until it flew away "something is really not right about things nowadays " Jim finally said "Either we are all losing our minds or something terrible is gonna happen " Both of them knew what he meant."Ok from today we will travel separately . Luna go straight to the hostel and Jo es we'll take different paths and meet at our hostel. Ok " "Be careful " with that all 3 of them left not realizing that the crow was back and watching them.

Luna went back and threw her bag on the side pulled of a thick brace from near her stomach and lay back in her bed . Luna was actually very slender she just wore the brace so that people don't know her secreat . She stared at the ceiling and a voice called out her ."Luna ,morning my darling wake up " Luna opened her eyes and saw her father standing she screamed in happiness and jumped at her father and when she pulled back she saw a black hooded man holding her and holding her on top of a cliff and if he loosened his grip she would fall to her death "Dad ,help me "
She cried out the black hooded man said "He is not coming for u ,he doesn't love u "."No "screamed Luna as she woke up with a start .This dream had been coming to her ever since her father had left .she had never known what it was and why it used to come . "Hey ,Luna u in there" Anya's familiar voice came from the other side of the door . Luna sat up and went towards the door and opened it .She Anya and Stella stayed in the same room " Left the key in the room again " Anya said as she came in " The most serious person in the college ,but with a terrible memory problem " Stella said rolling her eyes .
"Well can we get to the point "Anya said with her serious tone "Luna I went on the computer and found what u wanted also the designs for the hallway for the Halloween party .Also I met Jim and he told all 3of us to be careful .I'm not so sure what he exactly means I'm not even sure we r safe anymore " Stella piped in saying "Oh come on now Anya this is perfectly safe no one can find us here "
"Don't be so sure ,remember no place is safe enough,not for us but sometimes I really want to go home back to where I belong back to where I fit in ,.I don't even belong here none of us do "   "We don't but your mom is from here ,she is normal isn't she ?you fit in better here . Well at least better than us . "  Said Anya . Luna looked at her well Anya always spoke logically and there was no disagreeing with her . "Yeah I know but anyways I'm a misfit in this world like always " Luna said looking down . "Oh come on honey don't be down ur not the only misfit we all are and we soon will go back ok so chill" Stella said with her soothing voice and three girls smiled at each other they knew what the other was going through and they shared the burden of their terrible secret . Luna looked up ,her black eyes looking for an answer "Lord help us all."
Back at their hostel Jim searched through the computer working hard on his reasearch Jones on the other hand was lying on the bed giving orders to Jim . "Would it kill u to help me once in a while" Jim shouted . "I would but I'm way to busy telling you what to do " was Jones answer. Jim knew that if he don't do anything about the project then no one would. He knew Jones from a very young age and knew that he was never one to do any work .Jim just rolled his eyes and countinued with his work and yelled "Just shut up at least " . That shut Jones up he never took a chance with Jim cause it always ended with him getting beat up .
Jim saw a message pop up on his phone he ignored it and a few minutes later it rang . Jones looked up at Jim and said " Pick up looks like it's ur girlfriend" and bursted out laughing. Jim just made a face at him and said " We are just good friends " .
He picked his call and replied with a straight voice "Hey Anya ,why did u call? Anything important"
"Well for starters Luna is a little bit worried and second I think someone might be hacking into our computer so I think we need to update and make a different id so I think you can do that so that I can concentrate on our hacker and track his source " Anya s voice rang through the phone . "Sure I'll get on it just a little busy but I'll do it " Jim answered
"Hey Anya is Stella there ? " Jones said
Anya: "Jones I don't think she wants to talk to you"
Jones :"Oh come on just give her the phone "
He herd her sigh on the phone "Hello " Stella  called out
Jones : "Hey Stella what's up "
Stella :" Jones what do u want "
Jones :" So are u free next Saturday"
Stella:" Even if I was I'm not going out with you ok bye "
She slammed the phone Jones kept the phone back on the table where Jim was and layed back on the bed
Jim: " Looks like thunderstorm just hit "
Jones:  "Seriously what's wrong with me that she rejects me "
Jim :"Oh I don't know ,maybe ur attitude"
Jones " You mean that like a obvious statement don't you ?"
Jim :" Oh yeah you got me bro "
SuddenyJims computer started going haywire with a weird siren going off." What's wrong " Jim asked jumping up " get the ready we may have company soon . Anya was right someone has breached our wall .We have to be ready very soon " Jim replied.
Jones replied "I have just 2words ' Good Lord ' I thought we were safe here and that no one was going to find us here "  . Jim looked at his face ,he put his hand on Jones shoulder and said "We will get through this together ,like always" As he said that he wasn't sure about that either but he had to be strong and that's what he was going to be no matter what .
The next day was very busy as the Halloween party was just a month away and their college was way too big to be decorated in ao the unless everyone worked together . The girls being in charge of the decorations we're very busy .Luna and Stella we're busy with the drawing and the props while Anya was working on the effects on the stage and also on the light settings . Jones and Jim we're on the arrangements of the tables . When Jones looked at Jim he saw him staring at Anya . Jones sighed and said "Dude just ask her out aldready . Everyone knows that you have had a crush on her since childhood" . "So not happening" Jim snapped back " Look maybe I did back then but not anymore ok so dude u just concentrate on asking Stella out and leave me alone ". Jones rolled his eyes and went back to doing his job . After a while when he saw Stella alone he just looked up to Jim with pleading eyes and Jim just said "Go on " . When Jones left Jim gave another look towards Anya .Man he wished that Jones was wrong but as much as he hated it he wasn't . Jim had feeling s for Anya more than Jones ever had towards Stella . He could go on like Jones and go behind her but she believed that he had integrity and he didn't want to spoil that with her . After all she was they were friends from a young age and heis feelings only came about for her after he knew what she usually goes through .Anya was a girl.who was serious only because she had problems of her own like not being able to forget even the most painful memories and that was one thing she always said was a curse . And the most painful memories are the ones which troubled him the most .
As though Anya read his thoughts she looked towards him and then smiled which she did very rarely . "You know u could tell her how u feel " Luna's voice starled him and he suddenly jerked .
She looked at him with her dark black eyes those eyes were so deep that they could sooth any person no matter how troubled he was .
Jim calmed down after he saw it was her and not Jones ." I would but I don't want to ruin the relationship we have now as just friends"

Luna : " Well why can't you be more than just friends she's a nice person ,maybe serious but nice"
Jim :" And who says she will accept and I'm not Jones "
They both looked at Jones fooling around with Stella and she giving him the go away stare and him not taking the hint . Luna and Jim rolled their eyes could he ever stop with her .
"Anyway " Luna started "I have to go get candy and sparkles and so see u later" " cool " Jim replied to her as she walked away .
Jim got back to his work but he realised something don't fit and turned back immediately and as he don't see the person there he quickly looked at Anya and made sure that she was safe shouted to Jones " Get the people out of here "
The minute Jones heard him he was too late somebody hit him hard on his face Jones fell back and jumped back up he pulled on a white  mask which only exposed his eyes and took of his casual clothes casual clothes which revealed a white nija suit into a ninja suit . He pulled out a long double sword and stood his stance. The man who had hit him had a black mask on and 2others joined him . Jones just smiled and got ready as the men charged towards him . Jones pressed a few buttons on his swords and they lit up on fire and no one saw this coming his dual swords stopped two men's swords and he kicked the one in the left. At the team Jim saw 3others coming at him he just pulled on a blue mask  and tore of his other clothes which also reaveled him wearing a blue suit just like Jones . He pulled out a pair of num Chuck and hit one of them nearhim he used his other free hand to hit the guy next to him.Jones was still fighting as the other s recovered . The two other pushed off and charged again back at him Jones defended himself again but this time they were better they hit Jones on his knee and that made him lose his stance he fell forward and taking advantage of that the men ended up hitting him at will .
Stella had run up to the room where Anya was there just to make sure that she had backup and as she entered and locked the roo. Few  guys broke down the door and came in Anya pulled a stick and clicked it which opened to a bow and she pulled her bag and inside it a quiver with a set of arrows and armed with one shot the guy in front with it right through his eye .Stella on the other hand pulled out two fans with blades on the edges and pushed if inside on of the guys and opened it still inside him and that split him.in two . The girls were well skilled with their weapons and we're handelli g the men pretty well and in a few minutes were done with the bunch of them and as they saw downstairs and rushed to help the guys .

Jim had also been distracted by Jones  falling which the masked guys took advantage of and hit him making him lose his balance and they threw him along with Jones and started hitting him . The boys knew that even if the Anya and Stella found out that they were getting beaten up they wouldn't be able to make it on time. At last the men stopped hitting them and pulled out a few guns and locked it and aimed it at the two of them . They closed their eyes and waited for it when suddenly a blade shaped like a star cut the hand of the man holding the gun . They all looked at the direction from which the blade had come and the boys looked back and smiled "she's here " they both said . A slender girl with a mask and a suit both in red throwing more of the blades and running towards them throwing more blade at the men and as soon as she reached them she drew out a single long sword and  cut right through the guy and she was so fast as to the men were really shocked and don't have time to react . And by the time they did 5 of them were down and she stood by the last guy and said " Big mistake " as he tried to run she threw another blde and it rebounded and cut his throat. And he dropped dead .
 She pulled of her mask and the people behind were really shocked 'LUNA' . The same girl who was plumpy and isolated was the one who killed so many of the ninjas. She turned towards the boys and yelled "I leave u guys alone for 15minutes and you are aldready lyi g on the floor " . Jones retorted "hey we we're just 2and what took you so much time "
Luna :"  I had to find the candy "
As the two of them bickred they didn't notice two of the men got up and ran towards Luna to strike her . She turned right in time before a arrow struck one guy and the other through his throat and they fell life less on the floor . Luna looked up and said "thanks Anya " as Anya stood in a stance which she had just shot the arrows .and Stella behind her just after cutting one of the guys neck .
"Anytime" Anya replied winking back

"We are not safe here anymore" Tina said walking up and down the hall .Tina was Jones ,Jim and Luna's mother . That's right the three of them were siblings. Mainly speaking they we're triplets born together with a 5minutes difference Jim the eldest ,Luna and then Jones the youngest of all of the them .
"Shocker " was Luna's scarstic reply . She never wanted to come here and go to a place where she was taught things that she aldready knew .
Jones Jim and Luna were Elitist . Which was a term given to those who could use up to almost 90% of the brain capacity where normal people could use only 10% . But these siblings could use about  95% whereas Anya  and her twin Stella well they could use about 99% . The only one who could use the 100%was their friend Antonio the older brother of the  twins and he was one of the best smartest  person they could have he was well versed in the fields of science weaponary and computers .He handled  the entire chemical and research s of the triplets with Stella handling weaponary and Anya heading computers,gadgets  and hacking .
Luna ,Jim , Jones ,stella Anya and Antonio were actually exposed to  a special formula when they were kids and had wandered into an abandoned warehouse which turned out to be an abondoned scinetific laboratory . But instead of killing them the gas actuallygave them a set of special capabilities. For instance Anya could levitate any object or person , Stella could create interdimmentional portal that is she could transport anyone from anywhere to anyplace through her portals, Antonio could crush and uncrush any kind of metal , Jim was someone wo had superhuman strength and could shoot lasers through his eyes ,Jones had superspeed and Luna especially could do something like make sheilds and also hear thoughts and read minds .
With these powers they were  trained by their father to be the last kind of people that the world could count on to save them from say anything or any danger .
After Antonio's parents died in a car crash Luna's father had taken care of all three of them as well . They we're home schooled and knew almost everything by 10years . So they were trained to fight and control their powers .
Soon later their parents divorced and their father left everything for them and went away . Also the children were supposed to remain with their mom so they had never seen him after that .
But after they turned 18 there was a group led by a man named shadow who was behind them and due to that th byey had to go and mingle with others just to stay safe . Anya and Jim had masked their identity and they had no idea how shadow had found them

"I have no idea as to what went wrong my identitymasking was absolutely perfect " Anya was all up.on her laptop checked  as to how they managed to find their location. It was impossible for anyone to breach her fire wall and hence impossible to find them .
"Don't beat yourself up about it and chill I'm pretty sure that something else was watching us and found us " Luna a said comforting her
Anya :.   "Maybe but I can't believe I didn't manage to know that and I screwed up so bad .uugh I'm so sry guys this is all my fault iust have at least made the signal bounce so that no one could track us ."
Luna:.    " Don't worry and don't blame yourself . You did your best and we don't blame you ." ." But still my question is even if they did manage to find out where we were "
"The crow "Jim suddenlyremembered ."guys remember we saw a crow follow us when we went home I knew it felt like it was watching us well it was it was a spy device which couldn't be identified as one . Man why don't I think of that before "
It all made sense to all of them now the crow was shadows device the men sent were his too . That's how he knew where they were .
Jones suddenly looked around and said "sorry to break your brainstorm session but I think we have more than one witness to our sweet little fight scene . And you blattermouths just managed to spill the beans of our secrets "
Luna :. " Ok first of it's just spilled the beans but you got a point even though the entire college is not here but still 16 people is too many of us were have to brainwash them "

Suddenly one of their classmates Tony spoke up saying "Guys plz don't do that why you guys did was awesome . But we'll keep your secreat and by the way no one's gonna find out "
Stella :" Tony you might but a few people might not be very good at secreats so I'm not sure you guys should remember this "
Jones :  " Yeah Stella is damn smart maybe we should listen to her "
Stella rolled her eyes  he just couldn't stop butt kissing her .
Tony :" Guys we promise and e wn if one person tells it no one is gonna believe them so no one wants to look like an idiot so I'm pretty sure no one will try to even tell it "
Luna :" Well I think Tony has a point I guess it's fine anyways we can't be here for long we have to leave "
Stella :" But where if they know we are here then I'm pretty sure they know our other hideouts too we definitely can't go back to the hostel either ."
Anya " why but your weapomsy data it's all there if they find it then that's it we have to go back "
Luna :"  Anya I k ow you love your computer but guys self destruct everything in that room "
Anya gave a frustrated grunt but looked at her sister and said " fine your lucky my laptop has a copy " she just pushed a few buttons on her computer and at that moment at their hostel room the computer and the guns and stuff all bombared with a small explosion.
"Done " the girls said together "but still where can we go now " they said again together
The girls codnt have better coordination thought Luna " well there is one place but we have to go back "
"Absolutely not " Tina said in a pretty intimidating tone she was tall and slender and had green eyes the boys had inherited it from her she walked towards the children and said we are not going back to that god forsaken place "
Luna yelled back " well your brand idea of bring us here wasnt a big success "
Tina : " it would be if you guys had listened and stay put a and stayed together"
Luna : " All this would not have happened if we had not left at all "
Tina : " Don't use that to e with me young lady "
Luna : " And you can't decide if you don't know how to keep us safe . None of this happened when we were with dad  and then you can't even keep us safe and you call you self our mother "
Tina :" Like it or not I am your mother and we are not leaving without me in on this idea "
Jim jumped in before the matter we t overboard
"Mom look we don't have much of a choice and plus you are fighting in front of your students so plz just calm down and let's go with it plz "
Tina knew she had to hold up.her status as the life skills professor and hence controlled herself and said " fine we'll go but what are we gonna tell the authorities of the college "
Jones said " how about convention and that you are taking us for say a month "
Tina : " well at least now your giving good ideas. I'll do that " she went away to talk to the authorities.
Luna told Anya "Send a message to Antonio to meet us at the coordinates . We might need to prepare soon for a battle to live "
Anya quickly pulled out her laptop and typed the coordinates as Luna wispered them into her ear .She hoped her brother would be ready as she pressed a button to sent it .to him .

PART 2 ENDS HERE

Back at their house Antonio was busy making the chemicals and testing a few gadgets and weapons when his watch buzzed indicating a message . He quickly glanced at the watch and saw his sisters number and quickly pulled up the message from his watch which formed a screen of it's own .
They had been compromised and we're coming back and not back to this place but rather to a different coordinates . As soon as he read it he started ga thering his things and he pushed a button and his chimical sets quickly folded into a case as soon as he was done he realised that why they had asked him to change the place . A few men were running at the house with huge guns .
"Well they improvised from last time " he thought to himself" . He grabbed the case his bag and a small box of the formulas he had made and dashed out of the back door and ran to his bike and quickly pushed the box into his bag and hung the case and pushed the bag into the huge container tanks on the side and put on his helmet and spoke into the speaker of his helmet " VAVI set course to the coordinates in message " the bike was voice activated by his and his sisters virtual intelligence programme VAVI (voice activated virtual intelligence) which Anya had attached to all their gadgets and vehicles . It  scanned his voice and set the destination according to the coordinates to the place . He speed off on the bike and after reaching a considerable distance he then gave one command "detonate safe house 205" and as he speed on the house behind him exploded leaving no live witnesses . He did it so that any one trying to follow them would not make it out alive. He quickly sent a message to his friends"on my way ,meet you there " . He was ready as they wouldn't come back unless it was necessary and definitely they had to be back to fight for survival of the entire humankind asuch as they knew it so did he shodow gets why he wants the entire humankind will fall before him there will be no power in the world to stop him and the world will fall to dictatorship where shadow was law and he was justice .

 Luna had mixed feelings when their car speed towards their poi t with Anya tapping away rapidly on her laptop and Stella reviewing on the designs of their weapons  "girls cut it out you guys are freaking me out " Luna finally yelled as she couldn't take it anymore
Anya :" If you don't want shadow to find our hide out I need to work on a few major ip addresses and make sure our ids are masked pretty well"
Stella :" And my sensors need to be able to detect any kind of intruder and I have make sure they detect movement and the cameras have to be small enough to make sure that they can't see it . "
The two girls always had proper excuses as to why they were always working on their laptops and she couldnever retort that "well they anyways can use 99 which is more than I can " she thought to herself  "Anya can you give your head phones plz"
Luna finally asked "Sure " came Anyas reply without looking away from her laptop Luna looked up to see the headphones floting above her . Anya had learnt to use her powers to the fullest possible way without being distracted .
Luna plugged the head phones into her iPod  and closes her eyes as the soothing voice of her father with his lullaby lulled her to sleep .
Her terrifying dream woke her up again and Anya s voice brought her back to the real world "we are here and to say Antonio has set up the place pretty well " the coordinates led to a place where their old home had been there their father had left everything to them and then gone away to a place he never told them where . The house was sbig enough for everyone their cars stopped right in the way and as they got out their cars went down towards the basement and looked as though they were never there .
As they went in the girls ran towards their brother who was strong enough to lift them both up . He was always taller than the rest of them and he was one who was protective of his sister's and always knew about how the boys felt about them and always kept them away from the girls " Did you girls grow since the last 2years " was his first question. "And the only thing you ask me is why did I come home " said Luna to Jones as she rolled her eyes at him . She threw her bag on the floor and went over towards Antonio the boys aldready had met and hugged in the bro way . As Luna went up to Antonio his eyes lit up and they did their signature hand shake which was a fist bump followed by their wrists hitting the others wrist . They were best friends from childhood but they devoloped feelings when they grew up but never told the other and also their siblings never even found out . That was what was best about them that they always remained friends no matter what .

Luna : " so what you got for us this time Tony "
Tony was the nickname they gave Antonio
He smiled back and looked at Anya who was aldready busy with the systems . And wasn't even looking up at any of them .Antonio finally called out "Anya bring up the data stats please "
Anya:  " what .. oh right yeah "
Anya tapped away on her systems  and a huge projection  came up in the middle of the room  showing various data charts and some information sites .
"Well " Antonio began " I did a few research on our shadow and turns out he runs the organization called the dead warriors . This organization exists from hundreds of years back and mainly their goal has been to dominate the world and take control of it . Well long back the dead warriors were the top reason for the riots and deaths happening in the world they controlled the world as their own . The shadow is the name of their leader and their faces and not seen after they become the shadow at least no one alive has seen their face "

Luna :" so if they aldready in control why is he behind us and why's does he want with any of us "

Antonio:" not done yet Luna , they stayed in power as long as the shadow had power but there were some people who managed to create a poison which when mixed with the blood stream of the shodow killed him and managed to push it into him "

Jones:" As in injected him with it "

Stella :"well more of bit him and managed to get him poisoned "
Jones:" bit him why I mean can't you just inject him "
Anya : " cause getting close to him proved to be very much difficult and also the poison was never able to be put in a syringe and plus it was easier bujust spilling some on a person's skin for it to go into the blood stream of a person "

Antonio: "so I'm guessing that shadow wants your blood cause after shadow dies the trace a of his blood disappeared and his blood return to normal circumstances . I tested our blood samples and well the gas that we smelt as children turned out be a gas that changed our bloodstream to almost something very different ."
Luna :"so your saying that they are after our blood so that they can combine our blood and create a new formula to infuse into the new shadow "

Antonio:" exactly "

Jim : "But still Antonio I don't get the fa t why is he behind only us 3 why not behind you and your sisters "

Antonio: "the only thing I can think of is that he aldresy managed to find the components in our blood so he doesn't want us and he don't get yours so that the only explanation I could find "

Jim :" so your saying someone had gone to the area of the laboratory that was the place which gave us these abilities and hence found the components but not all of them"

Antonio:“or that he aldready had the components but not all of them that area was boarded after we went there as it was supposed to be a restricted area to start with "

Jones :" then which idiots idea was it to go to the place by the way "

Stella :"uh Jones it was yours "

Luna :"most importantly I think he just wants our blood because he aldready is possesed with the rest of the components and hence the rest of it to become the shadow "

Anya :" if shadow gets to the three of you then no part of the world would be safe and then the world will fall in front t of the dead warriors and their jury not really something people look forward to"

Tina :" well so what have you got for us to do ,other than wait for him to come to us "
Stella :" well I'll start with the sensors outside and Anya can you help.me . While you three can start practicing we LL need it all "

Just as Stella walked out with Anya they all herd a familiar voice "look who's back "they all knew it belonged to zizo their robatic dog which Anya and Stella had made because Tina was allegic to dogs and Luna really wanted one .
It was all behaviors were like a normal dog and it looked like one too except it could talk and was programmed to protect and defend .

Luna :" good to see you too zizo"
Zizo "well. Glad your all back in one piece .I thought that I was going to have to see you in a bucket "
Tina :" you think I couldn't keep them safe
Zizo :" well you actually couldn't . I told you to take me along "
Tina :" you known I could switch you off "
Zizo :"actually you can't only Luna can "
Luna:"Actually he is Right only I can . Antonio designed him to be activated only bye so he is mine ."
Tina " I hate dogs "
to stromed away with that .Luna turned to Antonio"so how have you been lately "
Antonio :"well alive and In One piece "
Luna :" well good so did you find anything else and what about our house "
Antonio:" I blew it up couldn't take the chance of them finding out anything about us so "
Luna :" well at least looks like you had a better time than I had "
Antonio"well it's good that you guys are back I really missed you. All of you "
Antonio's eyes really gave a kind of mesmarising look that Luna was literally petrified for a few minutes. She abruptly came back to her senses and quickly averted her eyes and picked up her bag and dashed upwards to their room
" I'm gonna get fresehned up and boys we need to start practicing"
Jones and Jim picked up their bags and dashed behind her to get the best bed which was what they always fought over .

Outside Anya and Stella we're busy placing the sensors and camera .
Stella : " so what's up with you and Jim at the place "
Anya :" what about him at the place "
Stella :" well he was staring at you and come on we all know how he feels about you "
Anya :" same way Jones feels about you "
Stella :" Anya come on Jones is always trying to get close with me not that I want to get along with him "
Anya :" but you like him right "
Stella :" of sorts not like always and stuff . I mean he is nice but you know he keeps getting too much and that really annoys me . And I do t want to gettoo involved with him "
Anya :" if you say so " Anya and Stella we're really talking without even looking at each other .Stella was busy setting up the sensors and gadgets and Anya was glued to her computer.
Stella :" but you like Jim don't you "
Anya shut downher laptop with a frustrated grunt t and snapped at Stella saying " so what if I do it's not like he ever tells me anything about how he feels and so why should I tell him about how I feel . At least Jones shows you that he likes you Jim doesn't even do that . Look unless he tells me I'm not confessing anything to him. "
Anya just stroed away into the house .Stella shook her head her sister just couldn't get over her ego and neither could Jim . She felt like she had do something but that would mean that she had to talk to Jones and just the idea of it made her sick . She just finished setting up the last sensor and then ran back inside just before going inside she looked outside to make sure that no was looking and closed the door she called out to Anya " power up.the cloking device " . Anya pressed at few buttons on the huge computer and the house just dissapered more off blended I to the background so that no one would could find it .
Luna Jim Jones  were busy fighting and practicing. With Luna and Jones against each other and Stella and Jim against each other whereas Anya and Antonio had gone off riding to use bows and arrows and Spears (which was what Antonio used to fight ) . Their house actually was in front of a huge forest and they had a large clearing for practice ground.
" Why is zizo not doing anything" Jones asked Luna as he saw the dog was just resting.
Luna :" well he is on standby mode and also his setting is on demo not attack so he is just down "
Jones :" well good " and Jones pushed Luna down on the floor and said " never get distracted"  . And suddenly Luna tripped him got on top of him with her knife at his throat and smiled and said " never let your guard down " .
Jim :" alright both of you stand down and take a break "
Luna got of Jones and helped him to his feet and they walked towards the water cans they had .
Antonio and Anyas horses were coming back as they reached near and dismounted Antonio said "nothing to report except a nice competetion and a good practice"
Anya :" In which I beat my brother again . I am getting better "

Anya usually practiced with Antonio which was mainly target practice. "Alright this time but you won't always " was Antonio's reply . Anya waved and said " you say that all the time "

All of them walked back into the house and went up to thier rooms except Anya who sat at the computer
Jim " Anya you not coming"
Anya :" a little research to do you guys go ahead "
Jim: " ok "

As Jim went up Anya went back to her computer.but from the time she snapped at Stella she couldn't help think about the fact that maybe Stella was right she did have feelings for Jim but she waved it off and decided that until he told her she won't say a word to him about her feelings .

Back in their room as Luna entered the room from the restroom and sat on the bed she realised that her brothers were staring at her from quite a long time with a sly smile on both their faces . She ignored it until she couldn't take it anymore and finally asked
Luna :" ok what's going on "
Jones :" well we never knew that you had a thing for Antonio "
Luna :" what are u ...... Ok who told you "
Jim :" no one has to tell us we are your bros we know what you are going through "
Luna :" no seriously how did you find out "
Jim :" we saw the way you guys looked at each other "
Jones :" man I can't believe that  for so long we didn't notice that at all I mean come on dude from how long "
Luna :" I don't know I think it was friendship which majorly devoloped into feeling"
Jones :" does he know I mean Antonio"
Luna :" no of course not . Are you crazy ? I'm not you Jones who shows it so clearly that you like a person "
Jim :" and does he like you ? "
Luna :" I don't know  that either "
Jim " how do u not k ow that "
Luna lifteted her eyebrows and asked Jim " do u know if Anya likes you or not "
Jim :" oh I see your point "
Anya " so now that you guys got the answer to your questions can we get some sleep cause I'm really tired "
Jim :" you guys go to sleep I'm just going to check on Anya "
Jones :" can't leave her alone can you "
Jim :" go to sleep or else I'll knock you out "
Luna " if you can I'll be more than pleased "

Jim headed down to the kitchen and made a cup of coffee and headed near the computer. Anya was still there tapping away rapidly. And reading up on something. Her hair was up in a bun and she was wearing her pajamas . This look of her always made Jim's heartbeat go all haywire .
Anya :" did you just come down to stare at me ?"
Jim :" sry I didn't mean it . Thought you might be stayyup so I thought you would like some coffee "
Anya :" thx I really could use some coffee and company "
Jim pulled up.a chir next to her and say down to look at what she was reading on .
Jim :" shadow , like the dead warriors leader "
Anya yep :" have t found anything interesting yet , also I'm watching if anyone suspicious turns up.the sirens go all crazy so  someone needs to be there to turn them off"
Jim " Anya if you don't mind me asking , I never knew much about you parents "
Anya :" well I don't remember much but I just remember that my dad used to take me see the stars and always told me and .y siblings stories that the stars told and said that when he was gone he would always be watching over us as stars and Everytime I remember him I look at them "
As she said that she just looked up.at the glass ceiling which opeaned up and the stars shined down on them  and they both smiled . Anya closed her eyes looking upwards and Jim looked at her face and just wished that he had enough courage to tell her that how she meant to him .

Luna's s dream woke her up again and she just wandered out to the terrace and saw that Antonio had raced her there
Luna :" well looks like you raced me up here "
Antonio:" sry didn't t know that you had booked this place for the night "
Luna :" so couldn't sleep "
Antonio :" just thinking as to what to add and how to make the serum to kill shadow . What's you excuse ?"
Luna :" nightmares "
Antonio :" that's happening for quite some time now isn't it "
Luna :" really wish I knew why , man at times like this I really wished da was her . I can't believe that mom actually won custody of us and I just hate it . After dad left my life totally went dark and I don't know sometimes I feel like it's my fault"
Antonio:" your fault . How can it be your fault "
Luna :" mom might have felt that dad don't have a good influence on me and she wanted to raise me feminine"
Antonio:" well you can't blame  yourself for that . But you know whenever I used to be upset about a few things my mom always told me that ' stars are brightest only on the darkest nights '
Luna :" thx Antonio"
She just nudged him and he did the same
Antonio suddenly asked " hey where are your brothers"
Luna :" well Jo es is snoring and Jim I think he went back to check on Anya "
Antonio " ok .. I got go make sure that he doesn't do anything.."
Luna :" Antonio chill and she not a kid stop being a possessive brother "
Antonio :" ok first e . Do you mind if I just hang with you here "
Luna :" well it's a free house "
He just joined her there and they continued staring at the stars pointing them out to the other.
Tina sat outside the house staring into the blank space . How should I tell her anything should I even tell her anything at all . Tina had a secret about Luna that she had promised Lennon she wouldn't tell Luna .
She had kept it within herself for quite some time . She couldn't tell it anyone ." Lennon I can't believe you left me with this unwanted nonsense why don't you just let me tell her " . Tina hated the fact that she never managed to get along with Luna but the reason for that was one which was understable . But Tina always cursed herself that she never took the chance and never coulld understand Luna . She just wished that Lennon would come back soon .
She loved him with all her heart but she knew they had to stay away for their children for them she had no choicebut to give up her love .

"WHERE ARE THEY " the shadow stromed . His servents trembled as they saw him trow down the glass vase that sat on the table . He had gone crazy .
Ever since Antonio escaped they had lost track of the 3children and there was no way of locating them . The hacker and his team were standing in front of the shadow and they were sweating .
Finally one of them spoke up in a treambling voice " sir ever since the ....ll..last time we haven't been able to .. tt ..track them  sir . We....rrr are still trying. "
Shadow : " find them or the next thing that people will find is you corpses.get it . Now GET LOST AND FIND THEM " .
He bommed out and the hackers acurried away .
" Tss tss , you know there are other ways to find them . You know of a few places they can be in . Don't you ? Tell me and I'll go find out . " Said a voice from back . The shadow turned and looked at his brother come from behind and turned back again his eyes were yellow and that's all the shadow showed of his face .his brother on the other end followed his attire but his eyes were black and he wore a mask which only exposed his eyes .

Shadow:" tell me what you need to know and I'll tell you . But I still don't know how you will manage to get them bat "

Bat :" don't call me that and I won't get them I'll just find out if they are there . You can ambush and capture them later "
 Shadow:  " ok but make sure you get them . They have gone too far and that's dangerous to all of us "
Bat : " of course I will "  he smiled sinsterly and thought to himself well everything going perfectly .

Tina suddenly woke up with a start and wondered as to what had happened and why had Lennon not managed to stop anything . It was not like him to do so he would have managed to finish it up by now unless he was in trouble .
Stella : " Mrs Dickens it's pretty late you should go to bed "
Tina turned around to see Stella standing at the door
Tina : " I'll go Stella thx "
Stella " Mrs Dickens are you alright "
Tina :" of course why do you think so and just call me Tina "
Stella :" well you look pretty upset so "
Tina: " sit with me and let me ask you something"
Stella sat and said " sure anything "
Tina :" if you had someone in life who was very important to you and you want to keep a secret from them for their own good then what do you do "
Stella :" well Mrs Tina I'm not good with problems but my dad used to tell us something that ‘ if you care about someone then better not to keep them in the dark even if the truth hurts them ' "
Tina “wow that was deep . Thx Stella "
Stella :“ No problem get in soon "
Tina :“sure you go ahead . Good night Stella "
Stella :“ good night Mrs T "
Tina though for a minute and decided that Stella did make sense and decided that she was rgt that soon there will be a time when she will have to tell Luna the truth.

Stella was busy working on the weapons designs when Jones came in
Stella :“ what do you want Jo es "
Jones :“ don't freak I thought you might want some coffee"
Stella :“ oh thx "
Jones :“ so what you working on "
Stella : “ I'm installing a tracking beacon in your suits so that you can figure out each other's position in case one of you goes missing "
Jones :“ can you make some thing like a gel or something that well you know that can be on us all the time so that you know if we r not having our suits on then we'll you can still track us "
Stella :“actually you do give good ideas I'll try that thx Jones "
Jones :“ your welcome "
Stella :“ well looks like you can talk normal sometimes "
Jones :“ well you don't like me talking in my way so I'm just calming down and talking"
Stella :“ I don't have a problem with you talking I just don't like it when you give your butt kissing style "
Jones :“ that's maybe because I like you "
Stella :“ I know , but I'm not sure that's a way to make a girl like you back "
Jones :" you did ! Wow I never thought I was being so obvious well then what should I do "
Stella :“ we can start again as friends "
Jo es :“ sounds good to me "
The two of then shook hands and continued working on the gadgets .

PART 3ENDS HERE
The sirens went crazy in the house Jones and Stella quickly ran down and met Antonio and Luna on the way as they reached down they saw Jim and Anya busy on checking the computer moniters for any suspicious activity.
Stella :“ what's going on ”
Anya :“ I don't know the sensors went all crazy "
Stella :“ check theonitors the cameras show anything"
Anya :“im checking but nothing is coming up "
Just then there was a knock on the door and it soon becamme a loud banging . Jim yelled “everyone arm yourselves "  everyone picked up and took their stance .Anya locked her bow and arrow and stood right at the front of the door ready to shoot .Luna went towards the door and signaled Tina behind Jim . She pulled out his sword and opeaned the door and lifted to strike but stopped Midway when the person in front screamed and ducked and said“dont kill me "
Everyone saw the skinny guy with a good looking face shivering in fear. Tina spoke up first “ Benjamin !what r you doing here " .


Benjamin sat on the sofa with everyone around him . He had such a fright that he was literally shivering . Tina handed him a coffee and said in a apologitic tone “sry we don't really expect friends "
Benjamin :“ but I'm family you guys almost killed me "
Anya :“well we weren't really planning on it "
Benjamin was their uncle he was their dad's brother and they all trusted them he was the one who usually used to help them in time of need . He was the one who made sure they had a place to stay and also where to stay during the time they went to the human world . And he helped them settle . He was one and only person whom Lennon trusted and the only person who they believed in .
Benjamin :“ well anyways it good to see my nice nefwews and their friends have grown into good looking gentlemen and beautiful ladies "
Luna :“ you saw us 2 years back we haven't grown much since then "
Benjamin :“i k ow but I'm really glad they you are safe  . Since I heard of the attack on you "
Antonio :“ how do you know about that "
Benjamin :“ the hostel people told me that there was a small explosion from your room in the hostel and I checked at school and figured out that you had gone for a convention and I know what that means "
Tina :“ well since you are here why don't you stay "
Benjamin :“ why else do you think I came here brother always told me about this place and also I know that you guys need help "
Astella :“ and no one can cook better than you "
Benjamin :“ that's my specialty"

 The kids went back to bed and Benjamin stayed awake talking with Tina until she finally asked him
Tina :“ where is Lennon "
Benjamin :“ I don't know I haven't herd from him "
Tina :“ what has gotten into him is he ok "
Benjamin :“ Tina I know how hard it was and even now it's not any better but you know why and you know Lennon no one can tell what he is up to exactly"
to :“ I know but still . I'm glad you are here Benjamin it feels good to have a family member here "
Be jamin :“ still haven't been able to get along with Luna "
Tina sighed in response and said “ you got me "
Benjamin :“ well r u really not going to tell her "
Tina :“ well not yet or course "
Be jamin :“ but come on you got to tell all of them why you got divorced and Luna a few things "
Tina :“ I k ow but I don't think if is time yet"
Benjamin :“ fine . After all she is her father stubborn and proud and egoistic ."
Tina :“ won't argue with that "
Benjamin :“ But you feel for the same character in Lennon isn't that why you chose him over me "
Tina :“ Benjamin you k ow I liked him and it was really nice to know that you stepped back when you knew that "
Benjamin :“ hey after all I was the best man at your wedding"
Tina :“ I just wish everyone was like you "
Benjamin :“ people take time but they change don't worry everything will be all rgt "
Tina :“ I hope you are rgt " “ well I'm going to bed what about you "
Be jamin :“ well I'll sleep here on the couch "
Tina smiled and said :“ suit yourself "


The next day was pretty busy and Antonio and Luna had gone to the chemical store for more chemicals as Antonioneeded it and also Benjamin had sent them for some more supplies for them

Antonio :“ looks like we got everything"
Luna :“ let's hope my feet are killing me "
Antonio:“ want to go to the lake and we can rest there "
Luna :“ yes ! Man I'm dying to get some rest . "
Antonio :“  cool "
They made thier way to the lake which was a small like with green grass where they used to play as kids . They sat on the grass looking at the birds catching the fish
Luna :“ so Antonio do you like anyone"
Antonio :“ that really weird . When did this topic come up "
Luna :“ just asking "
Antonio :“ well I do like one "
Antonio smiled at her .
Luna :“ well what's so special about her "
Antonio just came damn close to her and said in her ear “ the fact that she makes me feel special "
Luna turned to look at him smiling at her and they almost went like so close to each other when their lips were inchyaway their watches beeped and their quite moment got disturbed . The watches beeping showed that it was an emergency . Antonio :“ oh damn "
Luna :“ we better take the way through the woods "
They dashed out with the heavy bags they were carrying and reached their house and at one realised something was wrong and that they were late . The houses camaflauge had been turned off and so they ran at the house and opeaned the door to see the entire house was a mess.
Luna :“ good Lord what happened here "
They heard a muffled voice coming from inside the closet and they opened it to find Stella Anya and Tina tied up and gagged . Luna and Antonio quickly untied them .
Antonio :“ what happened here "
Stella :“ the dead warriors came and took Jim ,Jones and be jamin "
Luna :“ what and the boys don't fight back "
Anya :“ they did but they were no match for the guy in the hood . He knocked all of us and it was damn hard even for all of us together. "
Stella :“ he managed to overpower all of us put together"
Antonio :“ the shadow came here why ?"
The entire house was a mess and it took them all enough time together to put the entire house back together again . They had to also bury some of the dead warriors whom the boys had mannaged to kill .
Antonio :“ why would the shadow take Benjamin he had nothing to do with all this "
Tina :“ there is a pretty good reason why he might "
Luna didn't even listen to  her . She just walked out and didn't come in until Tina finally came out to see her . Luna was sitting on the doorstep andlooking up at the sky . She had been there the entire day and it was the stars she was staring at
Tina sat beside her and kept her hand on her shoulder
Luna :“ do you remember mom dad used to tell us that the stars give you answers . But my problem is that I don't know what my question is. Dad told me to take care of all of you and I couldn't protect the boys , I feel so guilty and so much like a failure "
 Luna started crying and that was the first time Tina saw that side of her . All she had seen was anger , digust , and happiness . Sadness was not in Luna's nature .
Tina :“ it's not your fault Luna , and plus you have done a lot already "
Luna :“ it was not enough "
Tina :“ I'm so sorry Luna that I could never be a mother you could confide in and I know I'm really not very  good at understanding you , but I tried . But I guess only a biological mother could understand what her child feels "
Luna looked at her mother and asked :“ what do you mean biological mother ?”
Tina :“ well you see I met your father in cannada and that to when I was working and it was really love at first sight for me . He was pretty difficult to approach and also a lot of stubbornness . I got close with him and Benjamin and I and Lennon started spending time together . I fell for him and well he felt the same for me so I decided to give in and asked him to marry me . He agreed but his father dint so we just went ahead and married with just a few friends and a Benjamin as I don't have a family . But soon his father called us and told him to marry another women and without my knowledge he was drugged and forced to consummate his marriage with her . After 2years he came back with you and said that you were his daughter and that your mother died during your delivery . I don't know what to do . But I don't have the heart to throw you away so I kept you and a year later I had the boys . I knew it would hurt you to know that you weren't mine so I and Lennon decided never to tell you this . But soon let nons dad died and he had to stand up as Benjamin told us that he was the only one who couystand up in his place . Your father hated to leave you and me but he knew that his job would put is in danger and so he had to leave us and he dint really have a choice "
Luna was stunned and had never known that her mother had raised her in spite of her not being her own
Luna :“ why don't you tell me all this before and why now "
Tina :“ Because you need to know that the job your father left us for was to be the next shadow ."
Luna :“ dad is  the shadow he did all this "
Tina :“ I know he is and he has not been acting like himself lately , he wanted to follow in his father's footsteps and run the dead warriors as a peace keeping organisation. Who help the world and not destroy it I don't know what had gotten into him . He was acting all strange and gotten into destroying the world . He looked as if someone else is controlling him I saw him his eyes were blue and he looked like he was hyptonized "
Luna :“ so mom your saying that someone is making dad do this and so there is no way of stopping him "
Tina :“ actually there is the only thing that can stop a shadow is another shadow "

Luna :“ mom why dint you tell me this before and all the things I said to you "
Tina:“ honey you loved your father so much and I dint want you to be upset that you were another women's daughter and feel left out so I don't tell you "

Luna :“ I'm so sry mom I was so mean to u never understood you and never even ......"
Tina :“ it's not just yours it's my fault too I should have tried harder to co nect with you and taken your opiniontoo sometimes . Can you forgive me "

Luna :“ only if you can for not trying to connect with you either . I love you mom "
Luna hugged her mother and thought to herself if this women can live me no matter who I am or how I was I'm sure I can find out why my dad is doing this or who is making him do this
Luna :“ mom we have to tell the others and find a way to get the boys and dad back "
Tina wiped her tears and said :“ ok"

They both went inside and told the other 3everything and in the end Antonio asked “ where r we going to find another shadow "
Tina :“ we don't have to we have one "
Luna :“ who "
Tina :“ you of course your biological mother was a dead warrior and oy a dead warrior can give birth to  a shadow and also the site you went to dint do or give you any kind of powers to any of you you are all born with the powers . And the three if you Anya , Antonio and Stella your parents were dead warriors and they actuay died defending their father "
Antonio :“so all that was just a hoax , man I can't believe I don't figure it out man "
Luna :“ but mom I think that is there any kind of weapon only a shadow can weird that must be the only way you can kill the shadow "
Tina :“ your sword , today at 12you will be be able to posses all your powers and your sword will hold the power to kill the shadow "
As though answering her as the clock struck 12lunas sword gleamed and as she picked it up it shone bright enough to light up the entire house .
Tina :“ the guiding star has finally awaoken and your father was right it has found it's rightful owner "

Luna :“ Stella is their anyway you can locate the boys "
Stella :“ the tracker in their suits can't be used as they were not wearing it . But I gave them the gel so yes I can "
Luna :“ good send me the coordinates and Antonio do you have anything that goes fast "
Antonio :“ you know that I do "
He just pushed a button on a remote and a car in red came up
Antonio :“ the new tetli activated with VAVI and yes with defence actually packed with everything you need for a mission "
Luna :“ you guys are coming with me and zizo listen to mom and do what she says "
Zizo :“ okie dokie "
Luna jumped in withe the other three of them and just before leaving she told Tina
“ ilove you and I promise ill bring all of them back "
Tina smiled and said “I know you will "
Antoniopunched in a few buttons and the cealling opeaned and the car flew out of the cealling and flew towards the set destination


Luna sat nervous inside the car with Antonio  next to her navigating the car and he asked withoutlooking up “ what's wrong your frowni g "
Luna :“ I'm ok "
Antonio:“ no you are not when you r worrying about anything well your eyes usually never blink and you haven't blinked for quite some time "
Luna sighed and said :“ do you think we can them back "
Antonio:“ first time your asking me to that question"
Luna :“ it's just ever since mom told me who I am I don't want to let down the women who took care of me for so long I spite of me not being her daughter "
Antonio:“ you won't the tome in your voice and the determine atio. To do something for your mom will drive you to work towards it "
Luna smiled at Antonio and said “ thx "
Antonio :“ by the way Luna I wanted to ask you if we survive this then would like to go out with me "
Luna :“ are you asking me out "
Antonio:“ uhh... If that's what you ... Well ... Kind of "
Luna :“ are you kidding me ... Yes "
Antonio:“ cool where "
Luna :“ well there is still the Halloween party"
Antonio:“ your planning on going back"
Luna :“ yeah I think I'll try to enjoy life now "
Suddenly Anya talked
Anya :“ hey love birds we are here "
Luna snapped back immediately and said “ let's suit up "
Their suits automatically covered them and they pulled thier masks above their faces .
The car came near a pretty old and weird castle kind of place . It was creepy enough looking mansion. As the car reached the gate it went on road a few guys stood guard and came to attack the car and Antonio said one word “ fire” . The car launched 2missiles that blew up the gate and also the guys guarding them .
 Thecar went on till it reached the small door of the mansion they all got out
Luna pulled out her sword and snuck up to the guy near the door and slit his throat from the back . Anya took up a high spot she quickly went up on a high rock and took aim . As soon as two people snuck up on Luna she shot arrows right at them killingthem . Stella and Antonio ran around and checked around for any kind of people and as the guards saw them Antonio pulled out this two headed spear and Stella her fan and they sliced up the 7guards into two . After they were sure the perimeter was secure they joined together .
Luna :“ there have to be more guards inside going through the door is not an option "
Anya :“ we can try the window "
Antonio :“ it's too high there is only one open window and it's right on the top no way we can climb up there "
Stella :“ we might not need to . Anya can levitate us till there "
Luna :“ good one Stella , Anya can you get us up there "
Anya :“ sure , piece of cake "
Anya held out her hand asking them to hold on to her hand they all joined their hands and Anya closed her eyes and concentrated and she and all the others reached up the window . Jumping inside Anya shot the guard inside and Luna threw 2 bldes killing all of them and making it safe for them .
As they went more inside they saw a large kind of rocket and a satellite control system and some kind of gas testing going on .
Antonio :“ oh my God , he is preparing for world domination the satellite can release a missile which can spread the gas in any place  and that can literally can cause death in Mass population . And only he has the antidote and hence the world will have to agree to his domination "
Luna :“ we got to stop this  ,Stella , Anya find the boys and any other prisoners and get them ready for battle we r going to need it all , Antonio I'm pretty sure this computers control the stellite try and shut them down and if you can crush them all . I'll go look for dad and try and stop him got it . And all of you don't hesitate to use your powers and skills to the fullest extent "
“ got it " said all three of them together. And they all spread out the twins went straight ahead to look for the dungeons and Antonio went into the room with all the computers . Luna went towards the top tower where she was sure that the shadow would be there .
She went to the place where the hooded man stood with a long black coat and his hood covering his head . She slowly stealthily started sneaking up to him but she din't unsheathe her sword as she dint want to hurt him . As she was inches away from him someone caught her and pushed her hard . Luna lost her balance bit was fast enough to pull her swords out as she sensed another commitment g straight at her . She defended the blow in the nick of time and also hence she avoided getting hit by it . But her attacker dint stop he pushed the sword against her . Luna felt the man s weight and strength pushing. The sword inches away from her throat . She felt her body grow weak and hence she saw the time when he was near her and used her leg to kick him on his abdomen to push him of . He staggered back and that gave her time to regain her position . The one attacking her also had a hood on . Confused she turned back and saw that the guy behind her had climbed a higher level and she had no time she was back and against the man in the hood and his hood was off and she didn't even have the heart to do it . Her father stood like he didn't even know her . She had no choice but to take her stance and get ready .
The two swords clashed against each other and Luna was literally at the end of her strength her father was mostly stronger than her and hence he knew more than her . Lennon was mostly a lot like Luna AND MOSTLY STUBBORN and he never liked to lose and hence he was never giving up and Luna looked like she was at the end of her entire strength and that is when Lennon used his move that is when the two swords clash he turned the sword around and spun it so that Luna's sword was knocked of her hand and she fell down with a blow from Lennon . Lennon stood over her and stood ready to strike her . Luna closed her eyes when Lennon brought his sword down a voice yelled " Lennon come on we don't kill our own kind " . her father stopped and dragged her up and managed to hold her hands behind her back and pushed her till the man in the hood . he took of his hood and Luna couldn't believe her eyes . ' BENJAMIN ' the same person who stood by her and and helped her family settle down and all this was the man trying to get their blood .The same man who was their own fathers r lives and he dint even want her but she fell for him and i did so much for her and she married him brother and also his best man at his wedding was the one ho made them get separated. Luna had only one word for him
Luna : " why "
Benjamin :" why ? ill tell you why . why should a guy who was there for this family go against them? why would i do this ? well because you guys never considered me family . first my brother born with the one who had powers and then made the entire family proud and me i dint have any in spite of all the kids of the shadow were supposed to have powers and i was born with none . It made me so jealous that the kids of my age and the people of our type were able to do things and I COULDN'T. Well i was nothing bu disappointment to my parents. well i let it go but then came your mother into our lives and she fell for him . he dint want her but she still fell for him and then i did so much to get her and she ended up making him falling in love with her and married him . Ithough knowing about you would make her leave him but no she took you in too but then again you turned into someone like him and your brothers . I knew if I wanted to take revenge I had to finish and destroy everything my father had made and hence hatched my plan ."
Luna : " you did this to get revenge we always considered you family and never wanted to get rid of you . What have you done to my dad "
Benjamin : " i have just hypnotized him . H does exactly what i want him to do and he does and hence what i want he does and it worked on him and all the others they do exactly what he wants them to do and so indirectly what i want them to do"
Luna :" so you are doing this to get revenge on my dad"
Benjamin :" no , I'm doing this to do and be what i wanted to be all the time AND YES REVENGE IS ONE OF THE REASONS "
Luna :" you wont get away with this "
Benjamin :" ohh , i was hoping someone would say that and i can say i aldready did "
Luna :" i don think you have if my dad dies i will stand up im the next shadow "
Benjamin : " Oh you wont i just need one shadow's blood samples and not all of yours so ill just let                          your dad kill you or you kill your dad and well your father's blood will be enough for                              me and then ill just order him to kill himself "
Luna :" well got to admit i wqas a little stupid . So thats how u know about the fact that we came back and you know that we left the place . the hostel people were told not to tell anyone and plus we never actually told them we were leaving . Man I'm so stupid "
Benjamin :" well you know as long as the chain stays on your father he will be in my trance . Why am i telling you this ? because you wont be alive to tell anyone . Lennon kill her ." and with that Benjamin walked away.

 that turned out to be a order for her father . Luna struggled to get her hand out of her fathers hold . but he was too strong for her to break free . she strained her brain and tried to remember what her father had told her to do in case someone who was stronger than her griped her hand . all he had said was " push and twist ". She din't know what that thing was to do . so she pushed her hand a little further and twisted it so that she was facing her dad and she just realised that his grip loosened and she just did what she or anyone would do kick him with all her strength . Lennon staggered back and without her sword they got to fighting with bare hand using combt techniques .


Anya and Stella went all the way down to the dungeons and all they saw was a few warriors and not a sign of the boys . Stella pulled out her fan ready to strike when Anya pulled her back saying "are you crazy.if we alert them they will call more we just got to make sure that the cameras dont catch and ill take care of the guards . Stella pulled out her tablet and hacked into the cameras creating a video loop . Anya pulled out a gun  and shot both of them with tranqualising darts. both of them went down . and the 2 girls stole the key cards and opeaned the duengons and went towards the end of the duengons and saw the boys . the cells were mosty made of a unbreakable glass with a slot for food and two holes for air . The girls opeaned the door and let the boys out .
Jim : " you ladies know that we could get out right "
Jones :" yeah totally "
the girls rolled their eyes
Stella :" yeah we saw that the way you guys were lying on the ground "
Anya :" come on we need to release the others "
all four of them went to all the cells releasing the prisoners and also asking them to arm themselves as the next place they went were the the weapons storeroom .
As they were going up all they crossed the room where Antonio was more of busy stopping the warriors rather than working . Anya split up to help Antonio and took 2 others who were good in bow and arrow and went in . Antonio had been trying to destroy the satellites before he got caught up with these people and hence had a problem in going back. he was pretty relieved when he saw Anya and 2 others come in and put down 6 of them  they took their stance stopping all of them and Antonio went back to the computers trying to stop them .
Anya :" we just cant leave or trust you with anything "
Antonio :" hey there are about 10 of these satellites and i have no idea how to destroy all of them "
Anya : " they all have one single command computer "
Antonio :"oh right thx "
Anya sighed all he had to do was one thing and people said he was smarter.

Luna was having a tough time dealing with her father . the combating was actually with Luna defending and her father in attack mode . Luna noticed that he had a different chain the one Benjamin had spoken about. But she got distracted and received a blow from her father and then he threw her to the wall and that hit Luna pretty bad and then she came to her senses he father held her by her throat and pushed her up the wall chocking her . Luna felt her vision going blur she had one last idea . she held her fathers neck and yanked at the chain with the strength she had left .

Lennon  came to his senses and realized that he was chocking some one and let the girl down . Luna fell down coughing she managed to pull the chain of her fathers neck . She pulled of her mask to get some air . Lennon looked her and he would know those eyes that resembled his so much.

Lennon " Luna is that you "
Luna :" Hey dad 
Lennon :“ oh my God but you were just a kid how did you grow up so much "
Luna :“ dad it's been almost 10years since you have been in a trance "
Lennon :“ what "
Luna :“ dad uncle Benjamin had you hyptonized and hence you were doing all the things like say world domination"
Lennon :“ what I did something my father hated man your grand parents would be very upset with me"
Luna :“ well it hasn't happened yet so we'll we can stop it "
Lennon :“ how "
Luna :“ stop Benjamin,stop world domination"
Lennon :“ alright let's do this father daughter style "
Luna :“ yeah , well dad you kinda owe mom and us an apology for not telling me that I'm illegitamate and not being there for mom "
Lennon :“ I'm in for it . Right ?"
Luna :“ if we survive this mom's gonna kill you "
They both went together and ended up bumping into the boys and Stella
“ dad " the boys yelled seeing their father and literally jumped on him almost knocking him down . The boys were so much like their dad . The only thing they didn't have were his eyes and his attitude which completely belonged to Luna .
Luna :“ where is Anya and Antonio"
Jim :“ Anya's helping Antonioand he's tryingto disable the satellite"
Jones :“ well I don't think he has enough time "
 Jones was right a bunch more of an army of dead warriors were coming tat them .
Luna :“ dad ask them to stop "
Lennon :“ I can't looks like Benjamin has full control over them they won't stop at my command "
Stella :“ we can stop them you guys get to Benjamin and if he is planning on world domination then stop him before he sends a disater demo to the world "

Luna :“ what do you mean "
Stella :“ well I'm guessing to take over the world you need total power and the only people who can give that will be the leaders of the world and and they will do it only when they see what his device can do so stop it before he destroys a nation "

Luna :“ where are the computers "
Stella :“ the second room along the corridor. Good luck "
Stella joined the boys and the rest of the people who they had freed from the dungeons and stood ready as they had to give Luna time .
Luna and Lennon rushed to the room and saw that Anya and Antonio really we're busy trying to hold off them too many for too less people . Especially with Antonio trying to stop the satellite and fight at the same time .
They saw Benjamin come at the top . They both their way in and that was the main thing that they both could do very well and that was fight .
Lennon :“ Luna stance and attack "
Luna :“ copy that "
They pulled their masks over their head and took a stance and then they pulled this swords and went into it
They reached the top and saw Benjamin and he looked down and saw them and murmered to himself “ those two never give up "
Luna :“ so whose going after him "
Lennon :“ well we both are "
Luna :“ dad help my friends , he is mine "
Antonio :“ we really could use your help her sir "
Lennon :“ go get him penut "
Luna dashed off at Benjamin and Lennon clicked his sword which turned into a bow and started to shoot the warriors coming at them .
Luna fought against all those protecting Benjamin a d reached him .
Be jamin pulled out his double swords and pulled his mask over his face .
Benjamin :“ I never understood why  my brother dint kill you and you known what I still don't get it so I'm going to do what I would have done kill you "
They both charged at each other and the fight was on the boys , Stella Anya , Antonio , Lennon and Luna .
Luna and Benjamin we're very skilled both having learnt from the same person . Benjamin gave adeep cut on Luna's leg looseni g her stance . She dodged his neck slice and hit him on his things
While they were fighting Antonio was really having a tough time he was getting his attackers off him and trying to deactivate the missile . He just wasn't able to get to the source he wasn't able to find as to which one was the source .
Luna was really not strong enough to beat Benjamin he fighting with her dad made her loose her footing and she fell with her sword away from her . Benjamin almost striked her when her father's sword stopped him and Lennon kicked him and said “ keep your blade off my daughter "
Luna got up and stood up again against Benjamin and fought along with her father .
Luna stricked and kicked him off almost at the edge . Benjamin staggered at the end and lost his balance and fell off the height and as he thought that he was going to die after that fall a hand caught his hand and he looked up to see Lennon holding him "
Benjamin :“ why , after all that I did you still want to save me why ?"
Lennon :“ because I'm not you and I think everyone deserves a second chance in life "
Benjamin :“ I betrayed you I tore your family apart I almost killed your kids ."
Lennon :“ you have everything a man can ask for , you lost it all in one wrong decision . But with the right decision you can win that all back "
Benjamin :“ I'm not your friend , not your partner I'm not even a good human . I don't what I am "
Lennon :“ you will always be what you have been , my brother "
Luna yelled from the top “ I can't hold on for much longer "
Benjamin herd this and pulled out a tablet and threw it down the tablet broke and the trance of all the warriors broke and they all stopped fighting with each other . And a bunch of warriors seeing Luna struggling rushed to help her and pulled Benjamin and Lennon. Up .
A Tonio who was now free to deal with the computer shouted . “ I seriously can't stop this I'm gonna crush it "
Benjamin “ DON'T .you crush it it still won't stop the satellite"
Lennon :“ can you stop it "
Benjamin :“ yes "
Benjamin ran towards Antonio and handed him a pendrive and said
“ you can't shut it down but this is avirus can you mask it and send it to the satellite.”
Antonio :“ yeah sure but gotta hurry "
Antonio pushed it into the CPU and both of them masked it as an order to the satellite and hit sent .
They all waited and holding their breath till the count down was at 3 and the system crashed and the satellite exploded in space and the missile was disengaged .
Everyone breath a sigh of relief and cheered
Jim , Jones and Stella came in and they all hugged each other . The three couples that is Jim and Anya ,Jones and Stella and Antonio and Luna all hugged in happiness .
Benjamin and Lennon hugged and Benjamin said “ I'm so sry , any punishment you guys deem fit I'll accept it "
Lenno. :“ well it's up to Luna to decide she is the new shadow "
Luna :“ really , wow . Well then I say if you can bring back all the people we killed back to life then it's fitting pu ish.ebt enough "
Benjamin :“ I can do that for hypno tising them I I stalled a chip in tholer head and that actually helps heal wounds and arteries I can fix that "
Luna :“ I dint think you could do that but fine "

Back at home Tina sat with a worried look until she herd a knock on the door and ran to open it to see all  6 of them standing and Luna came in and hugged her mom and said “ we have a surprise for you " . She stood aside to let Lennon in and Tina jumped and hugged him almost crying .
Tina :“ your back finally "
They both kissed and the rest of them gave them some privacy .
Tina some turned her expression seriousand said “ you are in big trouble mister "
Luna looked at her dad and said “ all the best dad "
After 5days at the shadows castle Luna stood looking at the mirror with the hooded clock shadows wear in her the good was aback and she stood with her suit and her tied back in a ponytail.

Jones :“ well you don't look completely ridiculous in that outfit "
Luna gave a smile and said “ is the Jones way if saying I look good "
Jones came closer and said smiling:“ you look amazingly superior "
Luna :“ thank you "
Jim :“ hey you ready "
Luna :“ as I'll ever be " she hugged her brothers and followed them .
The boys were in there suit without their masks and carried their weapons and escorted her to a tall stand and as she went on forward they went to the side and joined Antonio and his sisters .

Luna joined her father and stood before him . Her mother and Benjamin stood smiling in front . Lennon.
 Lennon :“ do you Luna  be ready to be the first to stand up and last to retreat when. Your people and when your need arises a d also care for one and all "
Luna :“ I do"
Lennon placed the medallion around her neck and said “ then hearvby you will be known as the shadow  leader of the dead warriors"

The entire assembly bowed before her .including her friends .
After the prossesion Luna met with Benjamin and asked him to Handel the business of the castel when she was away . Luna had decided to stay in the human world for a few more years and then come back .

Luna and Antonio had some time alone and he asked her .
Antonio :“ are you sure about leaving Benjamin I charge "
Luna :“ yes he's smart and well dad was right everyone deserves a second chance . And I have a device on him that will electrcute him if he tries anything funny "
Antonio :“ nice  , and by the way I was wondering if the shadow would like to go to the holloween dance with ..."
Luna :“ you . Sure I'd love that "

Anya and Jim stood near the computers installing the camerors and sensors and checking the monitors

Anya :“ are you sure that the camera of that crow is connected to our laptops "
Jim :“ yeah I checked it aldready "
Anya :“ cool Jim you known I really want you ...."
Jim :“ will you go to the dance with me "
Jim said thatso fast that Anya asked “ what "
Jim :“ I really like you but never got to say that so I thought that I can start by asking you to the dance "
Anya :“ well yeah I would love to and I kinda like you too but I was kinda little scared that you would say no so I don't say anything either "
Jim :“ looks like we both have to work on not being scared of each other "
Anya :“ your damn sure about that "
And they both laughed and went on this work .
Stella saw them both from behind the wall and turned away and looked at Jones standing behind her
Stella :“ well you were right "
Jones :“ leave them both alone in a less tensed atmosphere they will do the rest "
Stella :“ you are kinda smart I never noticed that . I guess you butt kiss so much I never looked into your details "
Jones :“ I'll try to stop that I'm not really that kinda guy but you know I'll try to stop that attitude if you stop being mean to me "
Stella :“ I can work with that "
Jones : “ also I would love it if ...you ..will... Go to the dance with me "
Stella :“ sure "
Jo es :“ well you can't blame me for ..... Wait did you say yes "
Stella :“yes "
Stella smiled at him and walked in a little forward and Jones shouted “ yes " and then held his senses and walked on coolily .

Lennon looked at the cameras seeing them all and sming . Tina joined him and asked
Tina :“ what you looking at "
Lennon :“ do they really grow so fast "
Tina :“ time goes by in a blink " .

Halloween was amazing for all of them with Anya and Jim playing their tunes together and the entire college growing to the beat including Lennon and Tina
Antonio and Luna walked up to them and Antonio said “ so this is what a college party looks like "
Anya :“ yep , pretty cool huh"
Jones :“ sick beats guys "
Jim :“ thx we kinda combined our tunes together"
Luna :“ let the tracks play "

They all danced into the night  and for once Luna felt like she belonged to the world . She knew she was where she wanted to be .
Cause she knew who she was . She was who everyone knew as  SHADOW
