A Carnival in Darkness: Part 66

Oxnard was so happy that Axl accepted the sunflower seeds and began eating, he was the coolest human ever. Oxnard all ready knew Sailor Pluto since she was the owner of all the hamsters.

Bison inspects his new Raven Shadowlaw army. His team of evil scientists were successful in cloning the Raven clone but they were combined with the twisted energy of psycho power. The Shadowlaw Raven clones were each wearing a Shadowlaw army uniform and growing larger in size as the labs were making new clones with their machines on a continuous basis. However Bison was impatient and tested his new Shadowlaw Raven clones by releasing them on major cities and destroying everything in its path to spread fear of Shadowlaw.

The mayor of a nearby city comes running to That Man begging him to save his life until he was shot from behind by a Shadowlaw Raven clone in disguise. The mayor dropped dead and the Shadowlaw assassin disappeared. Sephiroth goes to inspect the dead body and tells That Man what he thinks. Bowing once again he speaks. "I think this could have something to do with one of the Raven clones. What if just one of the clone's powers could be extracted and mutated in to something more evil? You better take a look at this."

Hamtaro is terrified at seeing someone murdered in front of them. He hisses loudly with his fur standing up on his end, Hamtaro would protect Axl with his life if the assassin decides to come back.

Sailor Pluto was expecting this and hopes that That Man will be able to fight M. Bison soon. "This is one of the dangers that I was talking about and how you are needed to save not just humanity but all of the world."

**********************************************

That Man quickly turned his head when he heard someone come running, begging to be saved and that wouldn't be ignored as That Man immediately started to walk toward the mayor...That is until the man was shot and dropped dead right infront of him.

The hooded and shrouded hero of the earth just stared now at the dead body and then came to look toward the Raven clone in disguise. Holding up a hand and charging an orb of lightning, but it was too late when it was ready as the clone would vanish by then.

Looking to Sephiroth as he spoke, That Man thought those words over from his newest associate, "I...I think you are right, Sephiroth, I believe that someone may have taken the Ravens and began to use them in an improper fashion." He said, as he came over to kneel beside the body, rolling it over to look down at the face of the one who just died.

Sighing for this loss of life, one thing That Man hated most of all was bloodshed without cause. Hearing now what Sailor Pluto said to him, That Man nodded. "Well, miss...I will protect the world to the best of my abilities, I do not wish to see anyone die in vain, I will protect humanity..."

"Oh bloody hell!" Axl yelled loudly as he saw the man murdered infront of him and the hamsters, covering some of their faces as he didn't want to let his new buddies see the horrible sight. "Don't look, little friends, this...This ain't for the eyes of the good to have to see. Poor bloke..." was all that Axl could really say.

"Otoko-Sama! We have company!" Raven said loudly as he was blown out from behind a building...Well, more like through it as his whole body was on fire. He wasn't wounded badly but it looked like someone who was very, very strong just arrived. "Well...Well...Well..." Someone said in a very gruff voice, walking through the hole in the building that Raven was blasted through, breathing in such a cool and collected manner. Holding up that giant sword in his right hand.

That left hand soon trailing up to move his head-band around a little that was a limiter of his gear powers. "Of all the people...I didn't expect to find you hiding in the past, That Man." The stranger slowly began to hold his giant Fireseal infront of his body. Standing about thirty feet from That Man, a grin on his face as those reddish brown eyes stared at him.

"No...Not him...Why did he have to show up..."

"Frederick..."

"OY! Chief, what're you doing here?!"
