What would the Shadow Clan be like as a TV show? As I was sifting through files today, I found one I had written a LONG time ago. It involved this very idea, and I had 52 episodes written out, and I thought they were really good, so I started adding on to them, which is how I ended up with 80. It's basically a really cool take on the SC. The summaries are terribly short and streamlined, and the stories are based on several different parts of SC history: Classic, some parts of ETS, and a little bit of ETS2. Everyone here has at least one character involved I think, but some people only got cameos. >.> I'm going to write more of Wolf, Sam/PF, Nariko and Jayce + Lilana in as time goes on, I promise. I'm constantly adding on to this concept, and I only posted this now because I thought it was a good place to pause and look at comments ^_^ And here it is:
~~~
1: Hawk and Assassin run from the followers of a mysterious stalker, while Armok flees the attacks of a demon hunter, at the same time picking up the insane aid of a prison escapee with electric powers. The two groups cross paths and end up working together to escape their attackers. In the end the four agree to an alliance until they can get rid of these respective threats.
2: The female demon hunter and Hawk relentlessly attack each other while Armok and Assassin attempt to defeat the strange trio who work under the person Assassin calls TTA. Worn is left to his own devices in the SC base.
3: Hikari Moriyaku has defeated Hawk and is coming for Armok now, but Worn defeats her, and then still arrives in time to even the score as Armok and Assassin battle with TTA’s goons. The goons die, but not before leaving them with cryptic words.
4: Hawk and Assassin have a strain in the relationship when Hawk seems attracted to Worn. Armok hires a mercenary to help him finish off the demon hunters, and Shadow X becomes a standard member of the Shadow Clan.
5: Hikari Moriyaku seems to be defeated now, and TTA is retreating. It looks like the Shadow Clan’s enemies are finished for the time being and they can now separate, but find they don’t want to. An alien airship arrives directly outside the base.
6: The alien race of Varg now wants Armok to pay them back for their aiding him through space, but Armok cannot do so and puts the Shadow Clan on the map for target of these mysterious invaders. Now fleeing the base, they head into town where they play a game of cat-and-mouse, with the mice fighting back.
7: Worn’s consciousness is now attached to an alien ship, and he cannot stop flying for fear of dying. Shadow X and Hawk are now captured, and Armok and Assassin are the only ones who can defeat the aliens alone.
8: Armok is now alone and working for entire clan. And when it seems nothing can get worse, it does. With only one option left, Armok is forced to call his last, and least trustworthy, ally to help him finish the job.
9: It seems Cutlass is doing his job until he is halted by the promise of total power. With the lives of not only Armok but also the rest of the clan now at stake, Armok takes a drastic leap to finish the job.
10: Assassin and Hawk are faced by the moral standings of being in the Clan and begin to doubt their leader. Worn pushes Shadow X too far and has an electrifying battle throughout the entire base.
11: A mysterious cat-woman breaks out of a military base in Canada and wreaks havoc. Shadow X and Worn are sent to recruit the woman, but their constant hate for each other spells the end of one of them. TTA pays a visit to Hawk while Assassin and Armok are away and the two end up locked in a fierce duel.
12: Assassin watches over Hawk while she is in critical condition. Kat gets to know Armok better, but Shadow X is still shocked over having killed Worn and is now distant. While out on a walk Shadow X meets TTA and after a short fight begins to waver to his side. Armok and Kat arrive to beat him into a retreat, but Shadow X begins to doubt himself.
13: Hawk awakens, to Assassin’s joy. Worn returns, alive, and tries to convince Armok that Shadow X has turned to TTA’s side. Kat goes shopping and becomes a target for TTA, and is shocked to find that Shadow X, who was previously missing, is in fact an ally of TTA.
14: Nobody is sure what to do about Shadow X, and they don’t get the time to think, because Shadow X and TTA attack them first. In a Matrix-style fight through the base, Shadow X uses the Clan’s greatest fears against them until the only one left is Kat.
15: Kat’s revealing of her unrequited feelings for Shadow X cause him to war with himself. They end up kissing, and TTA determines that Shadow X is a traitor and that he will be treated as a SC member. In a shocking showdown Armok breaks free of his trap and swoops in, killing Shadow X because he believes he is still allied with TTA. TTA leaves because Kat is now rabidly attacking Armok. She leaves the base in fury.
16: Two members down, the Shadow Clan picks up the ruins of their base and begins to start anew. Armok determines that they need new members and recruits a fighter named Sever, a magician named Rose, and a strange demon girl named Blazer. The three quickly prove themselves in battle against Hikari’s demon hunting squad, but the hunter goes straight for the kill and catches Armok alone.
17: Hawk uses her wits to protect the base, while Assassin attempts to stop Kari from attacking Armok. However, none of the members can expect what happens next, when one of the new recruits shows their darker side.
18: Rose, Assassin, and Armok are playing a terrible game with Hikari, while Hawk, Worn, and Sever have to face the wrath of the Kid Reaper. The Shadow Clan has to work together to force the two situations to cross into each other.
19: Blazer and Rose fight with each other following Blazer’s outburst as Kid Reaper. Armok gets frustrated and decides to go on a trip, leaving Assassin in charge. Without an assertive voice Assassin doesn’t feel he is a good enough leader and when TTA directly targets him the fight between them escalates.
20: TTA has split both groups up, one underground and one outside the base. TTA takes control of Rose and Hawk and forces them to attack Assassin. At the same time, Sever and Blazer have to fend for themselves against a group of subterrainian people. Worn is inexplicably missing.
21: TTA has Hawk captured for himself, and Sever and Blazer are defeated and captured by the underground people. Assassin and Rose go on to get Hawk back, but Worn comes out of nowhere, seemingly out for blood. They both lose, but Armok returns with Hawk over his shoulder and states that he was testing to see if they could handle an attack by TTA, and Worn was also in on the plan. But Sever and Blazer disappearing wasn’t part of the plan.
22: Sever and Blazer escapes their underground prison and end up hijacking an underground train to its exit. This exit happens to be in Italy, where they find themselves under the aid of a woman named Lilana and her companion, Jayce. They reveal their powers when Blazer becomes Kid Reaper again.
23: Kid Reaper goes on a warpath across the Atlantic to reach Armok and kill him. Sever, Lilana, and Jayce follow on Lilana’s pet dragon. The rest of the Shadow Clan attempts to fight off the demonic being but fails to halt her until the others arrive. Blazer sadly states that she can’t control Kid Reaper and wants to leave the Shadow Clan. Lilana and Jayce offer to keep her on watch back in Italy, and Sever offers to join them as well.
24: Things settle down, while Hawk wonders what life is like back in Aldria. She and Assassin leave for Aldria, which opens Armok to be attacked by Hikari once again. Though Rose, Worn, and Armok put up a good fight, Worn turns on Rose and the two become distracted by each other, leaving Hikari with the chance to finally finish Armok off.
25: Hikari cannot bring herself to kill Armok, and Rose defeats Worn and declares he is “off the team.” Assassin and Hawk arrive in Aldria and find it is being terrorized by a mystery person, who later turns out to be the returning TTA.
26: TTA has left Hawk to her doom while having a showdown with Assassin. Armok and Hikari kiss, to Rose’s shock, as she secretly loves Armok. Sever returns from Italy, and Hikari leaves out of fear for her life (as Sever refuses to trust her.) Worn reawakens and is escorted out of the building by Armok, plotting to finish the Shadow Clan all the way.
27: Kat returns from the base, feeling bad about attacking Armok. She gets to know the newbies as well, and her and Rose become fast friends. Assassin believes TTA to be defeated until he grins and takes control of Assassin’s mind. Hawk witnesses this after escaping TTA’s doom trap and rushes towards the SC base.
28: The Shadow Clan, with Hawk’s message, readies themselves for the fight against their perhaps most dangerous member. Assassin runs rampant throughout the base and defeats nearly all of the SC members. Hawk is left, and when asked by TTA if she is willing to sacrifice herself for love, she says yes and Assassin kills her. As he comes to and realizes what he’s done, TTA leaves him to hold her in his arms.
29: Assassin becomes more distant than ever, despite Sever trying to cheer him up. After Hawk’s funeral, Rose catches Armok and Kat kissing behind a tree and gets very angry at their disrespect. She slaps Kat and attacks Armok, and then leaves the base angrily. Sever follows her silently.
30: Rose is wandering through the forest, when a figure she recognizes attacks her with his minions. This person, Ion, proves very dangerous, and only when Sever joins in does he leave. Rose explains the story of Ion and why he is so damaging to her.
31: Rose returns to where she refers to as her “Earth home.” She finds her lost sister, Skye, there. She is ecstatic, but Ion comes to ruin it. Her mansion house becomes a house of horror with Sever trapped in the center. Rose and Skye must fight to the center of it.
32: Kat and Armok are worried for their fellow Clan members but seem thoroughly wrapped up in each other. Assassin shows disgust and wanders out to the forest as Rose and Sever return with her sister. Assassin meets a strange man for what seems to be more than the first time and strikes a shocking pact to work with him “again” to take down the Shadow Clan. Rose confronts Kat and they fight.
33: Assassin lures Rose into a trap with his new ally, the strange and jester-like Trickmaster. As it turns out Assassin originally worked for the Trickmaster before joining Hawk on the good side. He proceeds to attack and trap Sever and Rose, and then Skye. Armok is left and Assassin challenges him to a final battle.
34: Assassin fights tooth-and-nail against Armok until he has the leverage for the final blow. However, he reverses direction and attacks the Trickmaster instead, apparently working against him the whole time. The SC members he seemingly trapped appear out of nowhere and join the fight, and the Trickmaster leaves in a puff of smoke.
35: A boy arrives, claiming to be the child of the Trickmaster and offering help in any way he can. He joins the team under the name GDR after three tattoos on his hands and forehead. However, GDR recognizes Assassin from his past and is less than happy about his association.
36: The Trickmaster creates copies of himself to individually battle each of the Shadow Clan members. All of them are defeated by tricks, and are taken to his prison base. Here, Armok reveals his love for Rose, to Kat’s anger.
37: GDR and Assassin pool their knowledge of the Trickmaster to escape, with the help of Sever’s chains. However the love pyramid with Armok, Rose, and Kat causes the two ladies to commence fighting as soon as they escape. The Trickmaster gains on the group and they are forced to fight with both each other and their surroundings.
38: GDR and Assassin work together to finish off the Trickmaster, but his base proves to be a dangerous place even without his presence. The Clan escapes, and once outside Armok proposes to both Kat and Rose. Despite contempt for each other, they both agree to marry him.
39: A man named the Lone Wolf arrives, wanting vengeance for Cutlass’ death. He stakes out Armok and challenges him, and the two get into a swordfight. Armok wins, but reveals he never actually killed Cutlass, as Cutlass ejected from his mech before Armok destroyed it. Wolf agrees to join the Clan as a new member. To make room, Rose and Skye decide to return to their home, though Rose promises to keep in touch and return in time for her wedding.
40: Assassin and Wolf embark on a new mission to find Hikari, whom Armok wants to be there for his wedding. Sever still distrusts her, while Kat is excited to meet her. GDR still feels bad about having to kill his father, when a man appears before him. This man befriends GDR and calls himself Geo.
41: Assassin and Wolf find Kari, only to discover she is in hysterics: Her insane brother has revealed to her that she has mysterious powers, as an effect of them being demons. GDR introduces his friend to Sever, who remains distrustful to him as well. When they bring Kari back to the base, she points in fear, stating that Geo is her brother.
42: Geo immediately transforms and attacks, while Kari swirls things around her telekinetically in fear. The clan is forced to leave, with them all feeling betrayed by Geo. They decide they have to calm Kari down so they can get her out. Only Sever manages to get to her, and he carries her out of the base with everyone else, just before Geo lifts it up on a giant flying rock platform.
43: Kari agrees to join the Shadow Clan, but they decide they have to get their base back. GDR, Kari, Armok, and Sever all fly (or climb) up to the base to face off against the earth-mover. He takes out GDR and Sever before fleeing to an unknown place. However, it takes the combined powers of Kari and Armok to keep the platform from falling onto the other Clan members.
44: Kat, GDR, and Kari go to find Shadow, and track him to a tall mountainside. Here, they enter a secret cave with man-made creations and go through several traps to reach the main chamber, where Geo is found taking the mystical Phoenix Sword from its chamber. After a fight, he demonstrates that he far superior in power by killing Kat and collapsing the mountain on GDR and Kari.
45: Armok, Assassin, Wolf, and Sever wait, unaware that Geo is coming for them. When he arrives, he traps Sever between two rocks, sends Wolf hurling down a crevasse, and fights with Assassin before killing him and stepping on to Armok. The two face each other and cross blades once before attacking.
46: Kari awakens, apparently having saved herself and GDR subconsciously by holding up a rock telekinetically. Both are depressed from Kat’s death, but fly out to meet Armok. At hearing that his fiancée has died, Armok goes into a blind rage and defeats Geo spectacularly. Sever breaks out of his rocks to see Armok, Kari, and GDR go into a depression, but on top of Geo’s ashes Kat and Assassin appear alive, because apparently the Phoenix Sword can never permanently kill anyone.
47: Rose returns to the base, as it is near time for her wedding. She also brings her new friend Sam, who Wolf instantly recognizes. Rose and Kat both get ready for the wedding, and agree to be neutral. As they walk down the aisle, Worn appears in the middle of everyone and begins to wreak havoc.
48: Armok removes Worn from the base personally and the two battle. Assassin, Wolf, and GDR also follow while Sever comforts the two girls. In it he shows clear signs of love for Rose, which she reciprocates by suddenly kissing her. Armok finishes Worn and walks in to witness this himself.
49: A flurry of events happen which results in the Shadow Clan picking sides, between Armok and Sever. Armok clearly wants to kill the man, but Rose will not let him. The two eventually get into a vicious fight. GDR, Wolf, and Kari notice Worn watching and go after him.
50: Armok is facing Rose and Sever. He nearly kills Rose and brings out the true wrath in Sever. Wolf is the only one left to defeat Worn, and because of what he states as “boredom” Worn leaves Wolf. Wolf feels he is inferior because Worn refused to fight him alone. Armok banishes Sever to Hell in the end.
51: GDR, Assassin, Kat, and Rose form a secret plan to enter Hell and rescue Sever. Sam attempts to hold a resurrection of Hawk and overtaxes her power. Armok wants to force Rose to marry him. In the end he falls to his knees and apologizes, stating he will lead them all into Hell.
52: Armok uses a shadow portal to enter Hell, while leaving Sam, Wolf, and Kari behind to guard the base. Worn follows them secretly into Hell. Kari begins to flirt with Wolf. The Clan is shocked to discover that the Kid Reaper has somehow gained control over Hell.
53: GDR and Rose are soon captured by Jayce and Lilana, who were enslaved by Kid Reaper. Armok, Assassin, and Kat run through Hell to avoid capture, during which they confess they share no love for each other anymore. Their fighting only defends them for so long, until Worn inexplicably saves them.
54: Worn begins to fight the Shadow Clan himself, but Armok and Kat escape while Assassin distracts him. Three members down, Armok and Kat battle Lilana and Jayce for survival. At the base, Kari is visited by visions of her dead brother.
55: Kid Reaper uses Sever’s body to battle Armok while Kat frees GDR and Rose. Assassin kills Worn in a bloody battle, but TTA appears out of nowhere to taunt him. Kid Reaper reveals that she was told to bring Sever here and is in union with Ion.
56: Ion reveals that he has Skye, and forces Rose to come with him, while Kid Reaper kills Sever, and threatens to release the Trickmaster and Geo’s souls from Hell, in addition to killing Jayce and Lilana. Kari, Sam, and Wolf are teleported to Hell by Kari when they get worried, and Kari is taken hostage, which reveals Armok’s feelings for her.
57: TTA and Assassin are finishing a final battle they agreed to, which is interrupted when Wolf (with Sam) apparently kills TTA, resulting in TTA being possessed by a strange spirit and leaving Hell subsequently. While Armok and Kat endure Kid Reaper’s threats to Kari’s life, GDR is forced to battle the dead Hell-spirits of his father and Geo, the friend who betrayed him.
58: Sam’s spirit gets tangled with Kid Reaper’s while she tries to separate Kid Reaper’s spirit from Blazer’s. Blazer reveals that the only way to defeat Kid Reaper is to destroy the pentagram she holds, also killing Sam. Before Armok kills her, Sam/Kid Reaper releases Trickmaster and Geo back on Earth. Back at the SC base, sorrow has set in. GDR leaves to find and kill his father again, and Wolf leaves due to Sam’s death. Blazer also goes missing.
59: While the four remaining Shadow Clan members cope with the losses of several members, all of them go back to their pasts. Each of them decides they are going to go after a different enemy of their past, and part ways, planning to come back in a week. Armok goes to save Rose from Ion, Kari goes to defeat her brother Geo, Assassin goes to defeat his former enemy the Trickmaster, and Kat decides to go defeat the agency that transformed her.
60: Assassin travel to Trickmaster’s former hide out, but it appears abandoned, beside a few remaining traps. He and GDR meet again, and finally manage to work out their past. Convinced to re-join the Shadow Clan, GDR and Assassin leave for the SC after a week of searching, unknowing that they are being watched by the one they are searching for.
61: Kat goes back to the place far north where she once was transformed into an animal. The base isn’t abandoned, and she proceeds to cause havoc across the base. She finally makes it into the science ring of the base, but before killing all of the scientists, she notices a portal. Going into a portal, Kat finds herself in a different dimension called Amamizu, and she has to run for her life as a band of warriors tries to take her prisoner.
62: Kari follows her dreams to a mountain where her brother Geo seems to have made his home. Once in, her and her brother war with each other, and Kari’s powers show a new level of control. As Kari wants to take her brother back to hell, TTA, now with a strange new aura and going by the new name “Asmodeus,” appears, in league with Geo this time.
63: Armok calls up Cutlass, and uses him to find new tracking technology. Armok and Cutlass work together and find Rose isn’t on Earth; in fact, they find she is on Amamizu. Once there, Cutlass’s technology is destroyed, and the two are thrown in prison with Kat. The threesome breaks out just to see Ion now married to a seemingly willing Rose.
64: After a week of searching, Assassin and GDR come back to the SC base and find it in ruins, with stones everywhere. As they split to look for signs of life, GDR comes up on Kari, who is hiding, while Assassin fights TTA again, though this time he is Asmodeus, and quite different. Geo attacks GDR and the two fight, air versus earth.
65: GDR is saved by Kari during the fight with Geo, and Geo flees in time for GDR and Kari to see Assassin battling Asmodeus. Asmodeus reveals Hawk has been brought back to life as his servant. Armok sneaks into Rose’s castle and tries to talk to her, but she begins attacking him.
66: GDR, Kari, and Assassin have a brief period of hidden safety, during which they recruit three new members: The untrained metal angel Vincent, the equally inexperienced former servant Nariko, and, to their surprise, the former member Wolf, who discovered Sam’s spirit in a ring. Kat and Rose have a showdown, with the loser having to become a slave to the winner.
67: Kat loses, and Rose takes control over her and the two girls fight Armok and Cutlass together. GDR, Kari, Assassin, and the new Shadow Clan members call Geo to battle, and in a showdown Geo and Kari kill each other. In her death, Kari causes chaos to surround them, and the SC is scattered in several directions.
68: Armok tries to convince Rose to his side, but Ion appears and the two battle. In an epic battle, Ion nearly kills Armok, and he is only stopped by Rose, who snaps to her senses and realizes that she has been magically influenced by Ion. She attacks Ion viciously and escapes with Armok, although Cutlass and Kat are left behind. Kat becomes Ion’s slave and Cutlass his prisoner.
69: Armok and Rose escape to Earth and find Assassin, but the Shadow Clan has been totally scattered. The three of them wonder if the Shadow Clan can survive, but they all agree to work together to defeat Asmodeus/TTA first and foremost. Armok tries to re-discover love with Rose.
70: Armok and Rose launch a pre-emptive strike on Asmodeus/TTA’s demon army and Rose unleashes a powerful magic attack that asserts her control over them, but they start tearing her psyche apart. Assassin talks to TTA, who apparently is not of his own mind and is being possessed by a god, making him an avatar.
71: Rose is in danger of being fractured into a thousand separate minds, while Assassin and Asmodeus start to fight, both mentally and physically. Armok manages to join in on the fight when the god gets too powerful, and when Asmodeus begins to lose, he pulls out Hawk as a shield.
72: Rose and Hawk agree to a one-on-one fight, which Rose technically wins at. However, Hawk pulls out a trick. Convinced it is not really her, Armok begins to attack her, but Assassin begins fighting Armok. Rose gets between them, and Hawk joins in, turning it into a 4-way Shadow Clan fight. Armok knocks out all four of them in the end and challenges Asmodeus, who declines and flees.
73: Hawk awakens with the others and rejoins the Shadow Clan, although her mind is fuzzy. Deciding Asmodeus will leave them alone, (without any demon army, as Rose destroyed it) Armok takes the four and decides next to focus on building up the SC again.
74: Two months since the battle against Asmodeus, Armok, Assassin, Rose, and Hawk have rebuilt the SC base and are currently living there alone. Hawk and Assassin have since split and Rose has started dating Assassin, while Armok is trying to get over the death of Kari and his not being there. While out, Assassin is challenged to a mysterious game by a man with Miazu, with Rose’s life at stake.
75: Kari and Geo visit Armok in his sleep. GDR returns to the Shadow Clan base and attacks Armok. Assassin barely wins Miazu’s game. Hawk meets a strange girl named Hope, who seems to want to be her friend and join the Shadow Clan.
76: Miazu challenges Armok to a game, and if Armok wins, Kari will be revived, but if Armok loses, Rose will die. Not wanting an SC member to die, Armok agrees to the fight, but loses – however, he offers himself to replace Rose in death, and Miazu obliges him. The rest of the SC fights Miazu, but in vain, for he seems to be able to survive anything.

29: Assassin becomes more distant than ever, despite Sever trying to cheer him up. After Hawk’s funeral, Rose catches Armok and Kat kissing behind a tree and gets very angry at their disrespect. She slaps Kat and attacks Armok, and then leaves the base angrily. Sever follows her silently.
30: Rose is wandering through the forest, when a figure she recognizes attacks her with his minions. This person, Ion, proves very dangerous, and only when Sever joins in does he leave. Rose explains the story of Ion and why he is so damaging to her.
31: Rose returns to where she refers to as her “Earth home.” She finds her lost sister, Skye, there. She is ecstatic, but Ion comes to ruin it. Her mansion house becomes a house of horror with Sever trapped in the center. Rose and Skye must fight to the center of it.
32: Kat and Armok are worried for their fellow Clan members but seem thoroughly wrapped up in each other. Assassin shows disgust and wanders out to the forest as Rose and Sever return with her sister. Assassin meets a strange man for what seems to be more than the first time and strikes a shocking pact to work with him “again” to take down the Shadow Clan. Rose confronts Kat and they fight.
33: Assassin lures Rose into a trap with his new ally, the strange and jester-like Trickmaster. As it turns out Assassin originally worked for the Trickmaster before joining Hawk on the good side. He proceeds to attack and trap Sever and Rose, and then Skye. Armok is left and Assassin challenges him to a final battle.
34: Assassin fights tooth-and-nail against Armok until he has the leverage for the final blow. However, he reverses direction and attacks the Trickmaster instead, apparently working against him the whole time. The SC members he seemingly trapped appear out of nowhere and join the fight, and the Trickmaster leaves in a puff of smoke.
35: A boy arrives, claiming to be the child of the Trickmaster and offering help in any way he can. He joins the team under the name GDR after three tattoos on his hands and forehead. However, GDR recognizes Assassin from his past and is less than happy about his association.
36: The Trickmaster creates copies of himself to individually battle each of the Shadow Clan members. All of them are defeated by tricks, and are taken to his prison base. Here, Armok reveals his love for Rose, to Kat’s anger.
37: GDR and Assassin pool their knowledge of the Trickmaster to escape, with the help of Sever’s chains. However the love pyramid with Armok, Rose, and Kat causes the two ladies to commence fighting as soon as they escape. The Trickmaster gains on the group and they are forced to fight with both each other and their surroundings.
38: GDR and Assassin work together to finish off the Trickmaster, but his base proves to be a dangerous place even without his presence. The Clan escapes, and once outside Armok proposes to both Kat and Rose. Despite contempt for each other, they both agree to marry him.
39: A man named the Lone Wolf arrives, wanting vengeance for Cutlass’ death. He stakes out Armok and challenges him, and the two get into a swordfight. Armok wins, but reveals he never actually killed Cutlass, as Cutlass ejected from his mech before Armok destroyed it. Wolf agrees to join the Clan as a new member. To make room, Rose and Skye decide to return to their home, though Rose promises to keep in touch and return in time for her wedding.
40: Assassin and Wolf embark on a new mission to find Hikari, whom Armok wants to be there for his wedding. Sever still distrusts her, while Kat is excited to meet her. GDR still feels bad about having to kill his father, when a man appears before him. This man befriends GDR and calls himself Geo.
41: Assassin and Wolf find Kari, only to discover she is in hysterics: Her insane brother has revealed to her that she has mysterious powers, as an effect of them being demons. GDR introduces his friend to Sever, who remains distrustful to him as well. When they bring Kari back to the base, she points in fear, stating that Geo is her brother.
42: Geo immediately transforms and attacks, while Kari swirls things around her telekinetically in fear. The clan is forced to leave, with them all feeling betrayed by Geo. They decide they have to calm Kari down so they can get her out. Only Sever manages to get to her, and he carries her out of the base with everyone else, just before Geo lifts it up on a giant flying rock platform.
43: Kari agrees to join the Shadow Clan, but they decide they have to get their base back. GDR, Kari, Armok, and Sever all fly (or climb) up to the base to face off against the earth-mover. He takes out GDR and Sever before fleeing to an unknown place. However, it takes the combined powers of Kari and Armok to keep the platform from falling onto the other Clan members.
44: Kat, GDR, and Kari go to find Shadow, and track him to a tall mountainside. Here, they enter a secret cave with man-made creations and go through several traps to reach the main chamber, where Geo is found taking the mystical Phoenix Sword from its chamber. After a fight, he demonstrates that he far superior in power by killing Kat and collapsing the mountain on GDR and Kari.
45: Armok, Assassin, Wolf, and Sever wait, unaware that Geo is coming for them. When he arrives, he traps Sever between two rocks, sends Wolf hurling down a crevasse, and fights with Assassin before killing him and stepping on to Armok. The two face each other and cross blades once before attacking.
46: Kari awakens, apparently having saved herself and GDR subconsciously by holding up a rock telekinetically. Both are depressed from Kat’s death, but fly out to meet Armok. At hearing that his fiancée has died, Armok goes into a blind rage and defeats Geo spectacularly. Sever breaks out of his rocks to see Armok, Kari, and GDR go into a depression, but on top of Geo’s ashes Kat and Assassin appear alive, because apparently the Phoenix Sword can never permanently kill anyone.
47: Rose returns to the base, as it is near time for her wedding. She also brings her new friend Sam, who Wolf instantly recognizes. Rose and Kat both get ready for the wedding, and agree to be neutral. As they walk down the aisle, Worn appears in the middle of everyone and begins to wreak havoc.
48: Armok removes Worn from the base personally and the two battle. Assassin, Wolf, and GDR also follow while Sever comforts the two girls. In it he shows clear signs of love for Rose, which she reciprocates by suddenly kissing her. Armok finishes Worn and walks in to witness this himself.
49: A flurry of events happen which results in the Shadow Clan picking sides, between Armok and Sever. Armok clearly wants to kill the man, but Rose will not let him. The two eventually get into a vicious fight. GDR, Wolf, and Kari notice Worn watching and go after him.
50: Armok is facing Rose and Sever. He nearly kills Rose and brings out the true wrath in Sever. Wolf is the only one left to defeat Worn, and because of what he states as “boredom” Worn leaves Wolf. Wolf feels he is inferior because Worn refused to fight him alone. Armok banishes Sever to Hell in the end.
51: GDR, Assassin, Kat, and Rose form a secret plan to enter Hell and rescue Sever. Sam attempts to hold a resurrection of Hawk and overtaxes her power. Armok wants to force Rose to marry him. In the end he falls to his knees and apologizes, stating he will lead them all into Hell.
52: Armok uses a shadow portal to enter Hell, while leaving Sam, Wolf, and Kari behind to guard the base. Worn follows them secretly into Hell. Kari begins to flirt with Wolf. The Clan is shocked to discover that the Kid Reaper has somehow gained control over Hell.
53: GDR and Rose are soon captured by Jayce and Lilana, who were enslaved by Kid Reaper. Armok, Assassin, and Kat run through Hell to avoid capture, during which they confess they share no love for each other anymore. Their fighting only defends them for so long, until Worn inexplicably saves them.
54: Worn begins to fight the Shadow Clan himself, but Armok and Kat escape while Assassin distracts him. Three members down, Armok and Kat battle Lilana and Jayce for survival. At the base, Kari is visited by visions of her dead brother.
55: Kid Reaper uses Sever’s body to battle Armok while Kat frees GDR and Rose. Assassin kills Worn in a bloody battle, but TTA appears out of nowhere to taunt him. Kid Reaper reveals that she was told to bring Sever here and is in union with Ion.
56: Ion reveals that he has Skye, and forces Rose to come with him, while Kid Reaper kills Sever, and threatens to release the Trickmaster and Geo’s souls from Hell, in addition to killing Jayce and Lilana. Kari, Sam, and Wolf are teleported to Hell by Kari when they get worried, and Kari is taken hostage, which reveals Armok’s feelings for her.
57: TTA and Assassin are finishing a final battle they agreed to, which is interrupted when Wolf (with Sam) apparently kills TTA, resulting in TTA being possessed by a strange spirit and leaving Hell subsequently. While Armok and Kat endure Kid Reaper’s threats to Kari’s life, GDR is forced to battle the dead Hell-spirits of his father and Geo, the friend who betrayed him.
58: Sam’s spirit gets tangled with Kid Reaper’s while she tries to separate Kid Reaper’s spirit from Blazer’s. Blazer reveals that the only way to defeat Kid Reaper is to destroy the pentagram she holds, also killing Sam. Before Armok kills her, Sam/Kid Reaper releases Trickmaster and Geo back on Earth. Back at the SC base, sorrow has set in. GDR leaves to find and kill his father again, and Wolf leaves due to Sam’s death. Blazer also goes missing.
59: While the four remaining Shadow Clan members cope with the losses of several members, all of them go back to their pasts. Each of them decides they are going to go after a different enemy of their past, and part ways, planning to come back in a week. Armok goes to save Rose from Ion, Kari goes to defeat her brother Geo, Assassin goes to defeat his former enemy the Trickmaster, and Kat decides to go defeat the agency that transformed her.
60: Assassin travel to Trickmaster’s former hide out, but it appears abandoned, beside a few remaining traps. He and GDR meet again, and finally manage to work out their past. Convinced to re-join the Shadow Clan, GDR and Assassin leave for the SC after a week of searching, unknowing that they are being watched by the one they are searching for.
61: Kat goes back to the place far north where she once was transformed into an animal. The base isn’t abandoned, and she proceeds to cause havoc across the base. She finally makes it into the science ring of the base, but before killing all of the scientists, she notices a portal. Going into a portal, Kat finds herself in a different dimension called Amamizu, and she has to run for her life as a band of warriors tries to take her prisoner.
62: Kari follows her dreams to a mountain where her brother Geo seems to have made his home. Once in, her and her brother war with each other, and Kari’s powers show a new level of control. As Kari wants to take her brother back to hell, TTA, now with a strange new aura and going by the new name “Asmodeus,” appears, in league with Geo this time.
63: Armok calls up Cutlass, and uses him to find new tracking technology. Armok and Cutlass work together and find Rose isn’t on Earth; in fact, they find she is on Amamizu. Once there, Cutlass’s technology is destroyed, and the two are thrown in prison with Kat. The threesome breaks out just to see Ion now married to a seemingly willing Rose.
64: After a week of searching, Assassin and GDR come back to the SC base and find it in ruins, with stones everywhere. As they split to look for signs of life, GDR comes up on Kari, who is hiding, while Assassin fights TTA again, though this time he is Asmodeus, and quite different. Geo attacks GDR and the two fight, air versus earth.
65: GDR is saved by Kari during the fight with Geo, and Geo flees in time for GDR and Kari to see Assassin battling Asmodeus. Asmodeus reveals Hawk has been brought back to life as his servant. Armok sneaks into Rose’s castle and tries to talk to her, but she begins attacking him.
66: GDR, Kari, and Assassin have a brief period of hidden safety, during which they recruit three new members: The untrained metal angel Vincent, the equally inexperienced former servant Nariko, and, to their surprise, the former member Wolf, who discovered Sam’s spirit in a ring. Kat and Rose have a showdown, with the loser having to become a slave to the winner.
67: Kat loses, and Rose takes control over her and the two girls fight Armok and Cutlass together. GDR, Kari, Assassin, and the new Shadow Clan members call Geo to battle, and in a showdown Geo and Kari kill each other. In her death, Kari causes chaos to surround them, and the SC is scattered in several directions.
68: Armok tries to convince Rose to his side, but Ion appears and the two battle. In an epic battle, Ion nearly kills Armok, and he is only stopped by Rose, who snaps to her senses and realizes that she has been magically influenced by Ion. She attacks Ion viciously and escapes with Armok, although Cutlass and Kat are left behind. Kat becomes Ion’s slave and Cutlass his prisoner.
69: Armok and Rose escape to Earth and find Assassin, but the Shadow Clan has been totally scattered. The three of them wonder if the Shadow Clan can survive, but they all agree to work together to defeat Asmodeus/TTA first and foremost. Armok tries to re-discover love with Rose.
70: Armok and Rose launch a pre-emptive strike on Asmodeus/TTA’s demon army and Rose unleashes a powerful magic attack that asserts her control over them, but they start tearing her psyche apart. Assassin talks to TTA, who apparently is not of his own mind and is being possessed by a god, making him an avatar.
71: Rose is in danger of being fractured into a thousand separate minds, while Assassin and Asmodeus start to fight, both mentally and physically. Armok manages to join in on the fight when the god gets too powerful, and when Asmodeus begins to lose, he pulls out Hawk as a shield.
72: Rose and Hawk agree to a one-on-one fight, which Rose technically wins at. However, Hawk pulls out a trick. Convinced it is not really her, Armok begins to attack her, but Assassin begins fighting Armok. Rose gets between them, and Hawk joins in, turning it into a 4-way Shadow Clan fight. Armok knocks out all four of them in the end and challenges Asmodeus, who declines and flees.
73: Hawk awakens with the others and rejoins the Shadow Clan, although her mind is fuzzy. Deciding Asmodeus will leave them alone, (without any demon army, as Rose destroyed it) Armok takes the four and decides next to focus on building up the SC again.
74: Two months since the battle against Asmodeus, Armok, Assassin, Rose, and Hawk have rebuilt the SC base and are currently living there alone. Hawk and Assassin have since split and Rose has started dating Assassin, while Armok is trying to get over the death of Kari and his not being there. While out, Assassin is challenged to a mysterious game by a man with Miazu, with Rose’s life at stake.
75: Kari and Geo visit Armok in his sleep. GDR returns to the Shadow Clan base and attacks Armok. Assassin barely wins Miazu’s game. Hawk meets a strange girl named Hope, who seems to want to be her friend and join the Shadow Clan.
76: Miazu challenges Armok to a game, and if Armok wins, Kari will be revived, but if Armok loses, Rose will die. Not wanting an SC member to die, Armok agrees to the fight, but loses – however, he offers himself to replace Rose in death, and Miazu obliges him. The rest of the SC fights Miazu, but in vain, for he seems to be able to survive anything.
