*Blue and Jawo' flee together to a forest clearing in the northern outskirts of Ackland Town*

~~Forest Clearing~~

Blue: *looks around* Hmm, so far so good. There's no Shadow around.

Jawo': Yeah, but knowing him, it won't be long before he's on our tail again...

Shadow: My ears are burning! You talking about me?

Blue: Huh?

*Blue looks over to see Shadow standing atop a branch in a nearby tree*

Blue: Shadow!

Shadow: You know, we just HAVE to stop running into eachother like this.

Blue: *annoyed* You took the words right out of my mouth...

Jawo': Shadow. Heh, and not a moment too soon. You're right on cue!

Shadow: Oh, were you expecting me? How thoughtful.

*Shadow leaps from the tree branch and down to the ground*

Shadow: Blue, should've known that your icicle wouldn't keep me away forever.

Blue: Of course I knew. But it did draw you away from town, which was my plan from the start.

Shadow: Ah, I see now. Pretty clever, Blue. But don't think you'll get away from me again. I won't fall for the same trick twice.

Blue: Heh, there's no need. We don't plan on running away.

Shadow: Oh? Well that's just great! ...But wait! Don't you want to gather your posse first?

Blue: Nah, that won't be necessary. Me and Jawo' are more than enough to handle you. Isn't that right, Jawo'?

Jawo': You said it, Blue! Let's give him a run for his money!

Shadow: Hmm, well this is certainly a nice change in attitude. Let's see just how well that optimism will hold up.

*Shadow summons forth his scythe*

Shadow: *signals forward* Come. Let's get this started.

Jawo': Okay! Let's go for it!

*Jawo' draws his sword and dashes straight towards Shadow. Once within range, he slashes overhead, which Shadow guards against with the pole of his scythe*

Shadow: Hmph. *smirks*

Jawo': Ergh...I'm not finished yet!

*Jawo' pulls his sword away and continuously slashes at Shadow. Shadow blocks each blow, taking a small step back with each attempt. But Jawo' doesn't let up, advancing and continuing his assault*

Shadow: *sweats* (Ugh...he's relentless. It's like he's a wild beast!)

Jawo': Heh, what's the matter, Shadow? Running out of juice already?

Shadow: How nice of you to be concerned about my health. But I'm a big boy now. I can take care of myself.

*Shadow performs a counter manuveur, breaking Jawo's attack and knocking him off balance*

Jawo': Guh!

Shadow: Ha! You're open!

*Shadow moves in to attack when Blue intercepts by punching Shadow in the face. The force of the punch sends him tumbling along the ground, but he manages to regain his stance*

Shadow: Ngh...Blue. I had almost forgotten you were there...

Blue: Better keep your eyes open, Shadow. This isn't a game, you know. You could get hurt.

Shadow: Hmm, such an error on my account could prove to be costly. I won't make such a mistake again...

Blue: Hm?

*Shadow instantly teleports right in front of Blue*

Blue: Aah!

Shadow: So long!

*Shadow swings horizontally, but Blue manages to dodge by ducking underneath the attack*

Shadow: What!? He dodged it!?

*Blue then quickly springs up and delivers three quick punches, followed by an upwards kick that forces Shadow into the air*

Blue: Haah!!

Shadow: Gyah!! (Ugh...he's grown faster. Almost as fast as I am...)

Blue: Now, Jawo'! It's your turn!!

Jawo': Alright!

*Jawo' gathers his energy in preparation*

Jawo': Chaos...Control!!

*Jawo' uses Chaos Control to warp from the ground, to up in the air just below Shadow*

Shadow: What!?

*Jawo' then grabs a hold of Shadow's ankles*

Jawo': Time for a spin cycle, Shadow!

*Jawo' uses his forward momentum to pull Shadow, spinning him around vertically through the air. Once gathering sufficient momentum, he hurls Shadow by his ankles, sending him spiraling towards the ground*

Jawo': Hyaaaah!

Shadow: Uaaaaaaaaggh!

*Shadow plows into the ground below, with enough force to crack the earth beneath him*

Jawo': Yeah! We got him!

Blue: Nice going, Jawo'! Awesome move!

*Jawo' walks up to Shadow's body and lightly kicks him*

Jawo': Yup. I don't think he's going to be moving anytime soon.

Shadow: Oh? You wanna bet on that?

Jawo': What!?

Blue: Jawo', behind you!

*Jawo' quickly turns around to see Shadow standing a fair distance behind him, in near perfect condition*

Jawo': Agh! But...but how!? I trashed you!

Shadow: *sigh* Oh, Jawo'. You should be familiar with the concept of my clones by now.

Jawo': Uh?

*Jawo' looks over to the other Shadow, only to see it disappear, revealing itself to have been a clone*

Jawo': Ergh...so it was just a clone...

Shadow: Hahahahaha! You honestly thought you got me with that move, didn't you!? Grapple manuveurs will never work on the likes of me!

Jawo': Damnit...*clenches fist*

Shadow: Although, I must admit, that was one pretty sweet move. But...not as sweet as that other one...

Jawo': What...?

Shadow: Hmm...what did you call it before? ...Oh, that's right. Chaos Control!

Jawo': Heh, so you liked it, huh? Well I'm not surprised. It is pretty awesome.

Shadow: Oh yes, I liked it. In fact, I liked it SO much, that I think I'll take it!

Jawo': Huh...?

Shadow: Chaos Control!!

Jawo': What!?!?

*Shadow uses Chaos Control to warp directly in front of Jawo'. He delivers two successive punches and then follows up with an elbow that sends Jawo' sliding backwards*

Jawo': Guah! *winces*

Shadow: Hmm...so that's Chaos Control, huh? Heheheh, I could get used to this. *smirks*

Blue: Ah, Jawo'! Mmph, you're not gonna get away with that, Shadow!

*Blue begins to prepare a spell when Jawo' stops him*

Blue: Jawo'...?

Jawo': Don't even think about it, Blue.

Blue: But...

Jawo': I said no! He stole my technique, so now he's gotta answer to me. Before this is over, I'll show him the true power of Chaos Control!
