Chapter 3 : The Missing News Of The Shadow Emperor

The Rising Of The Shadow Emperor


In The Last Chapter, While Tatsuo was going back to the castle. He met with Tomio.. And they went home together. But they didn't noticed that they were being stalked. "So thats the kid?" a unknown voice. "Yeah. If we get him. We can get a huge ransom." another unknown voice. "But how will we get him if that pain in the a*s Ida Tomio stays with him all day long?" "Don't worry. I got a plan." Then those 2 unknown people started to walk away in the horizon. Talking about something...                                               The Rise Of The Shadow Emperor Chapter 3: The Missing News Of The Shadow Emperor June 25th. Tatsuo's birthday is nearing. Tatsuo didn't see Asami or Tomio at all for the whole week. He was wandering what happened to them. Did he do something that made them angry at him? "Where are those two? I didn't see them for quite a long time. Did I do something wrong?" Tatsuo went to the town as usual. He was walking through the street. But suddenly he saw someone resembling Asami. "Is that Asami?" Tatsuo was about to call her. But she went through an alleyway. He then followed her. "Hey Asami! Wait!" "Huh?" When she turned around. Tatsuo saw that it was another girl. "Oh my... If it isn't the 2nd prince. Do you need something from me, Your Majesty?" "Uhhh. No I mistook you for someone else.. Sorry.." "Oh I see. If you don't need anything from me, I will excuse myself then." The girl left. Tatsuo was ashamed of the mistake. He was patting his head behind and was blushing for his mistake. Then he released a sigh. "Sigh..." When he was walking through the alleyway. He saw a giant spider.... He was scared. As he was starting to back away. The spider noticed Tatsuo. Then it started to run towards Tatsuo. Tatsuo started to run. But he got stuck at a dead end. [author] A giant spider was really in front of me while I was writing this scene.[/author] "Eek. What should I do? Tomio-nii.. Help me..." Tatsuo then started to cry. But no one could hear him as he was really far away from the main street. When the spider caught up to him. He remembered the sword training with Tomio. Luckily there was a stick nearby him. He grabbed the stick and charged towards the spider. "HYAAAAAH!!" But the huge spider used it's webs and Tatsuo's stick fell of his hand. Tatsuo was helpless. Then he remembered one thing Tomio said during his trainings. ""Remember Tatsuo-sama. If a beast attacks you. And you don't have any weapons. Then the best way to deal with them is with magic. Fortunately, you have a rare magic type. Which will help you protect if you can use it perfectly. So in today's training. I'm going to teach you a basic spell."" ""Now if I remember, Tomio-nii taught me a basic spell. I should test it out here..." Tatsuo then pulled his hand forward and started chanting a spell.. "O the lord of the shadows, grand me your powers and take all my enemies in the darkness. Shadow ball. Then when Tatsuo finished his chanting. The spider started to rush towards him... When Tatsuo finished chanting, a black sphere of shadow came out of his hand. Tatsuo then threw the black sphere at the charging spider. Hitting directly at the spider's head. The spider blasted of. The spider was on its back. Dead. But after a few seconds. The spider started to disappear. Tatsuo was confused.... "WHAT! IT WAS A SUMMON? WHOSE SUMMON IS THIS?" Tomio once said to Tatsuo if a beast started to disappear, then it was a summon. Tatsuo was staying sharp to locate the summoner. But he couldn't sense anyone near him. "Looks like no body's here. I should probably get away from here." When Tatsuo was leaving. A man in a dark blue coat with a hood was looking at Tatsuo from a roof of one of the buildings. He then muttered something. "So that is his magic. It certainly is powerful. We need to be careful around him..."                                               The Rise Of The Shadow Emperor Somedays later. July 29th. Tatsuo went to the streets as usual. When he was walking through the streets. Then someone covered his face with a blanket. And took him somewhere. "WHAT! WHO ARE YOU? WHAT ARE YOU DOING? LET ME GO!!!" Then a few moments later. Tatsuo saw that he was in a dark room. But he wasn't tied. So he was a little doubtful. Then suddenly the room lit up. Seeing everyone including Tomio, Asami and her parents with a hat on top of their head. Then all of them shouted happy birthday. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TATSUO-SAMA!!" Tatsuo was surprised. He was paused for sometimes. Then Asami came towards him with a gift in her hands wrapped. "Happy Birthday Takkun..." Tatsuo was still surprised. "Wait what?" It took a few seconds for him to process the situation. Then tears started to roll down his eyes. "UHHH... Takkun? Why are you crying? Did I do something wrong? Mom? Dad? Why is he crying?" Tatsuo then wiped his eyes. And said, "No don't worry. I'm just happy and a bit surprised. Then Asami gave out a sigh of relief. "Whew... I thought you would've hated it.." Then Asami gave Tatsuo a present. Tatsuo accepted it gladly with a smile on his face. "Oh my god. Thank you for the present. Can I open it?" "Yeah you can." said Asami with a smile. Tatsuo opened the present. Then he saw a beautiful looking necklace in a box. "Do you like it?" asked Asami with a worried face... "Wow.. What a beautiful gift. I love it. Thank you Acchan." "Really?!? What a relief!" said Asami with a bright face. Tomio came towards with his present. "Tatsuo-sama. I know this is not a big present like Asami-sama. But happy birthday." Tatsuo accepted Tomio's gift. "Wow! Thank you, Tomio-nii! Can I open it?" "Yes you can." Tatsuo opened the present and saw a magic staff and 2 swords. One wooden another a real one. The real one was a black katana. Tatsuo was delighted. "WOW! Thank you so much Tomio-nii.." Tatsuo then hugged Tomio. Tomio also hugged Tatsuo back, "Hey no fair. I want to hug you too." said Asami with a pouted face. Tatsuo then went towards Asami and gave her a gentle hug. "Thank you Acchan for the gift." Asami was bright red. She blushed. "AWAWAWAWA.." "oh look at you Asami. Bright red after the 2nd prince hugged you." said Asami's mother. "SHUT UP MOM!!!" said Asami with a blushed face. Then they all started to laugh. After the gifts. Tatsuo cut the cake. Then he fed Tomio and the others. Tatsuo's day went without a problem. He was really happy.                                            The Rise Of The Shadow Emperor At the night of the same day. Tatsuo went outside of Asami's house to get some air. When he was standing outside. Someone covered his mouth with clothes. He was struggling yet he couldn't yell. It seems like the piece of cloth which covered his face had a mute effect. ""Oh no.. I can't talk.. Tomio-nii help me...."" When they were putting Tatsuo in a basket to restrict his movements, Asami came outside. She saw Tatsuo getting abducted. "HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?! LEAVE HIM!!!" "Shit... She saw us. Boss what shall we do!?!" said an unknown person. "We don't want any casualties. Knock her out and leave her.." Then the kidnapper hit Asami on the nape. She then passed out. In the morning. When Tomio came outside, he saw that Tatsuo was missing and Asami was outside unconscious. He then rushed to her. "ASAMI-SAMA!! WHAT HAPPENED!?! WHY ARE YOU OUT HERE UNCONSCIOUS?!?" Asami then came to conscious. She then was helpless. "Takkun... Takkun..." "What happened to Tatsuo-sama?!? asked Tomio with a worried face. Asami then explained the situation to Tomio. "2 man. In a carriage. Took Takkun away. Help him. Please save him!" replied Asami with a crying face. "WHAT!?!" Tomio then checked the ground. He saw marks of wheels. Then suddenly a messenger from the castle came up to him. "Tomio-sama. You were summoned to the castle. Please come back immediately." "What!?! Now is not the time for that!" "The king said it was an urgent matter about Tatsuo-sama." "Tch.." Tomio then went to the castle. And saw the king with all the ministers in the meeting room discussing something. "You summoned me Your Majesty?" Tomio bowed down. "Yes Tomio.. Sit down." When Tomio seated. The king proposed for the meeting to begin. "Now we shall begin the meeting." "Your Majesty. As you heard that Tatsuo-sama was kidnapped. And now the kidnappers wants a huge sum for him. I suggest that we shall reject the request and let the kidnappers do whatever with Tatsuo-sama. It will also benefit the kingdom if Tatsuo-sama were to die in the hands of kidnappers. We could just announce that he was murdered by the hands of the kidnappers." proposed a minister.. Many ministers were whispering about the topic. And many of them agreed. "Your Majesty. I agree with him. We shall not do anything and reject the request of the kidnappers." "WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY REJECTING?!? AREN'T YOU WORRIED ABOUT TATSUO-SAMA?!?" shouted Tomio with an angry face. "Great Magician Tomio-sama. You are still young. So you should quiet down when the elders are talking." said the advisor. Tomio then got furious. He's aura started to leak out. All the ministers in the room could feel the insane pressure. They started to sweat. "WHAT DO YOU MEA-" Before Tomio could have finished his sentence. The king interrupted. "Calm down Tomio. You are leaking way to much aura. If you want to save him, you can go and do it. But we won't help you one bit." "But Your Majesty. Why should we save someone who dangers the kingdom?" said a minister. "QUIET!" As the king said quiet. Everyone was silent. You could even hear the sound of the breathings. "I said we wouldn't help him if he wanted to save Tatsuo." added the king. Tomio then stood up and bowed. "Your Majesty. Thank you for giving me the opportunity for saving him. I shall excuse myself if you don't have anything to discuss with me." Tomio left the meeting room. Outside he satted on top of his horse. Then started to ride. When he was riding. He saw that Asami was standing in front with her hands spread blocking the way. Tomio then stopped. "Asami-sama. What are you doing here?" "Take me with you.." Asami said it with a straight confident face. "I can't. It is dangerous. You are Tatsuo-sama's first and only friend. If something happens to you. Then I can't face Tatsuo-sama." "That is why you need to take me with you. I'm his only friend after all." "I guess I can't turn you back." Tomio said with a smile on his face. Then Asami smirked. Asami then sat on top of the horse. "Hold on tight. Don't let go." "Hmm." Asami hold Tomio tightly. Then Tomio started to ride again. The horse was running at full speed. The crowd started to move away from the way so they don't get run over.                                               The Rise Of The Shadow Emperor In a forest. There is a small abandoned warehouse. In the warehouse. It was dark. Tatsuo was locked in the dark room. He was screaming. "HEY! WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?!? LET ME GO!!" Then there was a voice which was shouting back at Tatsuo. "SHUT UP YOU BASTARD! IF YOU DON'T YOU WILL BE HURT!" "I see. So, it was you guys that day when I saw a spider in the alleyway." Tatsuo said with a smile on his face. "So what?" Tatsuo then smiled again. "It was so weak. I guess you guys are really weak if your summoned beast is that weak." The kidnapper then became furious. "You bastard....." said with an annoyed face. "Haha. What? Are you annoyed that I beat your weak ass spider with 1 spell?" The kidnapper then snapped. He then started to beat Tatsuo. When he was beating Tatsuo. Then a scary voice was heard. "Oi. Stop beating the kid. Or you will regret it." "Bo... Boos! Sorry but he was really annoying." said the person with a scared face. He was sweating. Hearing the tone change, Tatsuo knew that the boss of the kidnappers came. "Hey kid. Shut your mouth. Or you will be killed." Then the kidnapper stuck a tape on Tatsuo's mouth. Then the boss and the other kidnapper left the room. ""Tomio-nii... Where are you? Save me fast please!"" Tomio was riding the horse with Asami... "Tatsuo-sama. Hold on till we get there..""                                            The Rise Of The Shadow Emperor To Be Continued... In the next chapter. Tomio found a lead to Tatsuo's kidnapper. When he got to the warehouse. Something happened. Next Chapter: Where is the Shadow Emperor?
