Mmm, I guess I can post the next script now.
SHINO: You cannot stop me, you fool! I have more power than you can possibly imagine!
((dramatic fighting scene goes here. Eventually Wolf knocks Shino out and takes him to a secret passage. Shino wakes up and slams Wolf))
SHINO: Turnabout is fair game, wouldn't you say?
((Shino's hands turn to fire and he punches at Wolf. Wolf dodges and falls to the floor))
WOLF: I don't want to fight you, Shino; is there no way we can work this out?
SHINO: What can I say, Wolf? Our old adversaries made me an offer I couldn't refuse.
WOLF: Old adversaries...?
SHINO: I mean... come on! Who wouldn't want this amazing power? The ninjas don't have it... the pirates don't have it... the knights don't have it... and even the mages don't have it! What more could I want?
((Shino creates a portal of darkness and grabs Wolf by his shirt))
SHINO: I can't let you stand between me and my destiny, Wolf. You're going to have to be silenced!
((Shino takes Wolf through the portal))
((scene changes to Mage Manor))
((Tirilia appears next to Ikkin))
TIRILIA: Lady Ikkin. Stay your weapon and your anger for but a moment.
IKKIN: Tirilia?
TIRILIA: I come on behalf of Lady Kat, and the order of the knights. It was a difficult choice, but we decided you need to be informed...
TIRILIA: Shinobi, the traitor, was not destroyed by Sev. He is at our castle now, locked in a duel to the death with Lord Wolf.
IKKIN: So Sev has told us. Is there anything useful you can tell us about your situation?
TIRILA: Ah yes... quite a battle, I heard. Heal quickly, dear Sev.
SEV: Thank you...
TIRILIA: As for Shino, he seems to have some form of power we have never before seen. And he seems quite intent upon destroying our king. We defended him while we still believed him to be the man we had all trusted, but Shinobi is no longer our ally. Nor yours.
TIRILIA: I tell you this so that you may find cause to trust us again... Ikkin, we need your help. If Shino was speaking the truth about his powers... then we are all in great danger. I highly doubt that he would stop at merely taking charge of the castle. Please, Ikkin.
((Ikkin pauses to think))
IKKIN: There have been so many strange things going on lately... and I can't help but feel they're all connected somehow... but if Kat sent you, I can't imagine this is something all the knights know about. We will assist you, if that's what you want.
TIRILIA: Oh, I thank you, Ikkin. Unfortunately, at this point, I am not certain how you can help... but be well on your guard. Keep an eye on even your closest of friends.
IKKIN: I agree. We don't want another Shino incident.
TIRILIA: Indeed. Take care, and for now, farewell.
((Tiri poofs off))
SCAR: Ikkin, how can you trust them? They tried to kill you! Well... Kit tried, at least.
IKKIN: I don't even know what to think anymore... It's just not adding up. I mean, if the knights were all with Shino, why would he be trying to kill Wolf? He couldn't possibly have known in advance that Sev would show up...
FJ0RD: Personally, I don't trust the Knights even as far as I can throw them. They could be constructing this entire scenario, for all you know.
IKKIN: Fj0rd, it has to be true. The knights might lie about it, but Sev never would.
FJ0RD: How do I know I can trust you? I'm afraid I must suspect everyone at this time.
IKKIN: What? I don't think any of us had heard of this before we came to Tabloid Town! Even within the knights, it had to have been a limited conspiracy. I bet your fellow ninja, Shadow, could back up the mages, at least.
((Shadow peeks from within Ikkin's shadow))
SHADOW: Hmm?
FJ0RD: Well, with how readily you decided to trust the knights...
IKKIN: Fj0rd...!
((Shadow comes out of Ikkin's shadow))
SCAR: Why bother, Ikkin? This ninja looks like she's made her decision. I say we leave the knights and the ninja to sort this out by themselves if they're not ready to trust us mages.
FJ0RD: Ha! Do you really think that you're safe, Scar? That you can just crawl into your little hole in the ground and wait this out? No. If you have ever trusted a friend, or doubted an enemy, I promise you...
((Fj0rd appears by Scar and taps his shoulder))
FJ0RD: ...You will be involved in this.
((Fj0rd poofs off))
SCAR: Yeah, that's it! Go running back to your dojo like a scared kitten!
IKKIN: So what about you, Shadow? What do you think of all this?
SHADOW: I... I don't know. I...
((show mini Shadow-flashbacks, at the end show a close-up of past!Kit))
IKKIN: ...Shadow?
SHADOW: Sorry, Ikkin. I must leave.
IKKIN: What? Why? And why now?
SHADOW: This is important, Ikkin. I need to find Kit.
((Shadow shadows off))
SCAR: ...Okaaay... that was odd.
((Keng starts to wake up))
KENG: Urrrgh...
IKKIN: Keng!
((Ikkin runs over to Keng))
KENG: Wha...? What happened? My head hurts....
IKKIN: Well, I guess the teleporter took you to the wrong room when I summoned you... when I found you, you were unconscious.
KENG: Oh yeah, uh... I remember feeling queezy and lost... then... then I went looking down a hallway to try to find someone.
KENG: After that... uhh.. after that.... oh, I heard something... a clatter or thud, I can't remember... but it dosen't matter, I guess. Point is I went to inspect and there was a movement...
KENG: ...Um, I think they were in a mask... a weird mask. They smelt.. odd. But I could only smell it right before I was hit.
((Keng rubs the lump on the back of her head))
KENG: Don't think they used magic... just a good ol' fashioned blunt object.
IKKIN: Huh... I don't know who would have done that... sounds kinda like a ninja, but even then... how did they get in?
KENG: Well, ninjas don't typically need an excuse to pick on pirates... but I don't think it was a ninja. The mask was a more... ghoulish design. Not just simple cloth. There were some... brightly coloured markings on it.
IKKIN: Hmm... I don't know of anyone who would wear such a mask... And I don't know if we can find them... I couldn't sense any odd auras...
SCAR: Well, whoever it was, was pretty sneaky about it. I say it's a ninja who couldn't resist snooping around our manor.
SCAR: I'd like to teach them some manners, but we have other things to worry about. I mean, we need to do something about those knights and ninja. If they keep going for each others' throats, they'll tear up the whole neighborhood.
IKKIN: You have a point...
SCAR: Now if you'll excuse me... I'm going to change my pants.
((Scar starts to leave, muttering))
SCAR: Darn those ninja, always sneaking up on people...
((a pause))
IKKIN: I'm going to go find Shadow. I'd suggest you all stay in the manor for now. I'll let you all know if there's a problem.
((Ikkin pulls a magical summons out of a drawer))
IKKIN: Oh, and try to find out anything about the intruder who attacked Keng earlier.
OMNI: Got it.
((Ikkin leaves))
((scene changes to the... creepy place Wolf and Shino are at. Think it's called Misery))
((Shino gives Wolf a drug which renders him unconscious. Shino then walks for a bit, when suddenly Barak puts a gun to his head))
BARAK: Tell me, Shino...what entitles a visit from our illustrious king here?
SHINO: The event was long awaiting, General Barak. He needed a vacation.
((Barak lowers the gun))
BARAK: Hmm. Welcome back, my friend.
SHINO: It's splendid to be back, my lord.
((Barak smirks, looking over the unconscious Wolf))
BARAK: You look different since the last time I saw you, King Wolf.
((Barak turns to Shino and hands him a package wrapped in leather))
BARAK: It's time to destroy our enemies, Shino. They must pay for their insolence toward the Shadows.
SHINO: I completely understand, my lord.
((Shino begins to open the package, Barak stops him))
BARAK: You must do this for us, Shino. You are our one true ally of darkness. You wield all our energies in you... do not fail us.
((Shino nods and opens the package. Inside are MALICE & MISERY))
((scene changes to Castle Kestrel))
((Tiri poofs in))
TIRILIA: Ikkin has been informed, and it seems she is our ally once again.
((Kat looks tired))
KAT: Good... that's good...
PYRO: Kat, we're far enough from the battle; you can put the shield down.
KAT: You're... you're right.
((Kat puts the shield down, then plops to her knees in exhaustion))
SHADE: Lady Kat, what should we do now?
KAT: I guess... I guess we return to Tabloid Town.
ZAHA: If you don't mind, I'd like to return to the ninjas' headquarters. Maybe I can get some idea what the ninjas are planning.
KAT: Alright... you may go.
((Zaha smiles and poofs off))
PYRO: Lady Kat, would there be a way to contact Sir Kit? He said he'd be here... but it might be best to have his help as quickly as possible.
KAT: I could send a little messenger... I just hope I've got enough energy...
((Kat takes a deep breath and starts muttering something. A little purple dragon emerges from purple flame (Kat likes purple, you can tell. XD)))
KAT: Find Kit. And lead us to him.
((the dragon nods and zooms off))
KAT: Pyro, Shade, Zari, come with me. Tamia, Tirilia, stand guard here at the castle. We don't want anyone breaking in, especially while the king is fighting Shino.
TAMIA: Yes, Lady Kat.
TIRILIA: We will do our best.
KAT: Thanks. Come on Pyro, Shade, Zari.
