The D-league vs. The Dark Monarch Volume 2, Episode 1: Glimmer of Hope

A hero, sat in his room, and he was in deep thought. There are two people I'd like to protect, but I may only choose one. Dratted Wild-eye and his vial of scent. Yes, yes, must use every last drop. Maybe if I go for a walk I can come to a clearer decision.

The man left his room and immediately it hit him. I've got it! He went racing down the hall and found the hero's room. He began to pour the vial of Wild-eye's scent around the room when two dark figures approached.

"What do we have here, partner?" said Pain.

"Looks like the Ranger thinks he can foil our plans tonight." said Gust.

"Get away you demons!" shouted the Ranger. "You can not kill tonight!"

"No need to call us demons." said Pain "We really aren't that evil, we just follow orders, ya know."

"Tonight you have been stopped by me, the Ranger! The finest Ranger you will ever lay eyes on. Begone! Return back to your extremely grotesque beast of a master!"

Gust lunged as if about to rip out the man's throat, but Pain held Gust back. For they were not strong enough to overcome Wild-eye's powerful scent. "You may have won the coin toss, but the House always wins!"

The two figures departed, and the Ranger breathed a sigh of relief. I thought that Wild-eye was crazy. He really knew what he was doing then, didn't he? The man walked back towards his room, feeling triumphant for the victory he just gave the heroes. Now he knew who they wanted to kill, and that the Dark Monarch had failed this night. It will only be a few hours before everyone knew of the glorious master Shasta!

*growling* "Saw your little scene with the villains. Suppose you think pretty highly of yourself right now?" *growling*

"Away with ye, and trouble me no more!" Shasta's confident voice against the villains began to waver. "If you are seeking to complete what the villains failed, I will not allow it!"

"Silly Ranger. I'm not after who they picked. I found my choice and he's standing right in front of me." The shape-shifter smiled, knowing it was about to claim its next kill.

~~

The heroes gathered in the common room downstairs and were pleasantly surprised to find only one of their team missing. It was Shasta, who no one at first was surprised, for no one could remember if he was with them yesterday. However, they all decided it would be best if they just checked on him.

The heroes found Shasta wrapped in the dark blue sheets, and on top rested a phial, that smelled like Irish Spring body wash. The Ranger was dead, but there was another note.

I have killed your ranger. However, I thought it only proper to tell you his tale since he is unable to tell you himself. He is the reason there is only one kill tonight. In fact, I was quite moved by how he forcefully told the Villains that they could not kill tonight. Yes, very moving. Don't get me wrong, I still had to kill, even if he tried to send me away, but his bravery should be rewarded. Too long has he been in the shadows, I suggest you let him see the sun again. It is not often I get the pleasure of killing someone so worthy.

With deepest sympathy,
Your neighbouring Bear

The heroes looked at eachother at first, contemplating whether they should actually listen to the Shape-shifter, but they had to admit the bear did have a point. They wished Shasta had lived so he could reveal who he protected, but that secret would die with him. Shasta had been in the shadows too long, and he was the reason last night there was only one kill. He had given the heroes another day. With how bleak the battle against the Dark Monarch had begun, there was now a glimmer of hope.
