Darkened paths (Kipo and the age of wonderbeasts)

Shadow sat there in silence as they descended from the sky. Scarlemagne was quite loudly playing the mini piano. The flamingo had half of a car around it.

Shadow was in the back of the car knowing full well that the other mute gangs would be here. He looked towards the spot they agreed to meet.

Nearly all the mute gangs were there: the humming bombers, the mod frogs, the newton wolves and the scooter sinks. All baring their teeth at one another.

The majority holding out their weapons such as a mace, pipes, explosive nectar and much more. Seeming as if they were planning to kill one another and the leaders of the gangs in front of their gangs.

Shadow could hear the crowd murmuring as they were waiting for them to arrive. Shadow also noticed a certain frog he had met around a week ago. Jamack! His thoughts hissed at the sight of him as he flew on a dragon fly.

Though his expression changed from anger to smugness as he realised his tie was chopped off. The mod frogs had banished him. How purfect for little old me. Shadow that looked back around lowering his hat to cover part of his face. Along with neatening his cloak like cape and straitening his collar.

The mute gangs looked up as they saw them descended. His face changed to a distant, collective and cold along with hearing the .squawks of the flamingo. To try and appear more threatening then he was, along with trying to appear more of a panther like described in the books he read.

"My Mute brothers and sisters!" Scarlemagne began still playing and holding the reins attached to the flamingo's necks. Commanding them to dive down. "You all came, like I asked. That was smart of you."

Shadow was sure if they saw his face it would be his eyes squinted and pupils silted as he glared at them. Though his face did not change because he knew full well that Jamack was here watching confused.

The wolves began to growl tempting Shadow to growl back but didn't. As to not start any fighting nor distract anyone from what they were here for.

Scarlemagne finished playing before starting to grunt saying, "There's a burrow girl on the loose!"

Shadow recoiled at the loud amount of noise causing his claws to pop out. An inaudible hiss escaped his mouth.

"Pardon me, lost my composure there for a moment." Of course, I most certainly didn't let my class lose because of it. He thought looking at his paws before retracting them.

Scarlemagne sighed before continuing, "It was only 200 years ago that humans, like that burrow girl..."

The other started growling at the mention of the humans. Shadow may hate them but he agreed with them that humans were despicable. After all they ran panthers to extinction.

"...kept us locked up in prisons just like this one!" Scarlemagne continued. "Well, now the tables have turned."

After he said that more flamingos came flying in with the mind controlled humans on their backs. The closest one being his translator in case he had to speak at all.

"This is all humans should be, obedient." I can make them into an army. An army I can us to build an empire! Mutes on top! Humans below!"

The humans beginning to cheer and clap. Making Shadow simply roll his eyes at. He found it all ridiculous but never said anything.

Scarlemagne snapped his fingers for them to be quiet, doing so. Shocking all the mutes I front of them.

"Back to that burrow girl." Pretty sure sh has a name sir. But ohm well. "She can lead me to more humans. Enough to rule Las Vistas. Whoever brings her to me will be rewarded with a position of power and luxury, beyond your wildest dreams."

Shadow noticed Jamack smiling at this idea and clearly planning to go after the girl. Oh you will fail Jamack. Like you did last time. He smiled maliciously though no one saw because of his hat.

"So, I ask you, do you dream big?" Scarlemagne questioned.

A scattered amount of cheering across and many selfish smiles filled the crowd. I bet a group of them has her and is going to give her over. If they don't give her over, we'll they'll just be skinned alive.

"I can't hear you." A loud amount of cheering broke out. Shadow rolled his eyes at this and continued watching, "That's better. Bring me the burrow girl!"

Shadow just zoned out focusing on Jamack. Who chuckled to himself before saying, "Nothing would give me more pleasure." Before breaking into laughs.

He watched as Jamack disappeared from view before noticing one of the bees flying around. While everyone was distracted he snuck off and called the bee over. Whispering in its language saying, "Can you follow this frog for me?"

It replying, asking why.

"So that I know if he has the burrow girl or not. After all you bees are incredible for the job." He replied craftily.

It agreed before following Jamack. Shadow now satisfied returned back an everyone was none the wiser.

Evil perhaps or villainous. It was fun to write this though Shadow was more of a background character. Anyway hope you all have a great day/morning/afternoon/evening/night.
