Lavi: grinning widely Look at thisss! Ancient manuscript! Bet it's packed with secrets, huh?!
Yeah, let's check it out! This could be big for us!
opens the ancient manuscript and begins to read aloud "The Dark Arts of Shadow Manipulation: A Guide to Concealing and Unveiling."
Oh shit, this looks sick! Shadow manipulation? Hell yeah!
continues reading "Shadow manipulation is an art that requires great focus and control. It involves manipulating the shadows around you to achieve a desired effect.
pauses, deep in thought This... this reminds me of a technique I've been practicing. It's called "The Shadow Shift."
closes the manuscript and focuses their energy Watch this! extends their hand, causing the shadows around them to swirl and coalesce into a dark, swirling vortex
damn bro, you're actually pulling it off!
smirks confidently Told ya, Broadoc! Gotta keep my skills sharp, you know? begins to manipulate the shadow vortex, creating illusions and deceptions
Nice! But what's the practical application here? Can we use this in our missions?
Absolutely, Broadoc! Shadow manipulation can be a powerful tool in our fights against Akuma. Imagine being able to create decoys and illusions, or even manipulating the shadows to trip up our enemies.
laughs Decoys and illusions, huh? Tripping up Akuma with shadows, genius! How do we execute this in the field then?
grins mischievously Well, Broadoc, here's a little trick I've been working on. summons a shadow duplicate of themselves, complete with identical attire and weapons
chuckles A shadow clone, nice! What's next, Lavi?
smirks Oh, Broadoc, this is just the beginning. Watch closely!
commands the shadow clone to perform a series of acrobatic flips and spins, creating the illusion of multiple Lavis
Holy shit, Lavi! You're like a god of shadows! But, can we control the clone's actions? Make it do our bidding?
Lavi and Broadoc spend hours practicing and perfecting their shadow manipulation skills, but soon discover that the clones have a mind of their own, becoming a potential threat in their missions.
well damn, Lavi. This technology is beyond anything I've seen. But how do we ensure these clones won't turn against us?
Good question, Broadoc! We need to find a way to stabilize the clones, make them obedient to our commands.
okay.. so how do we do that?
pauses, deep in thought I think I might have a solution, Broadoc.
Alright, Lavi. Lay it on me. What's your idea?
grins excitedly Broadoc, what if we infuse the clones with a fragment of our souls?
Soul fragments? How the hell do we do that, Lavi? Are we talking ancient rituals here?
nods Something like that, Broadoc. We'll need to perform a ritual, a forbidden spell that will bind our souls with the clones.
oh ok, so how do we begin this ritual? And what are the risks involved?
grabs a small vial and hands it to Broadoc Here, take this. It's a mixture of rare herbs and crystals.
takes the vial and examines it closely Alright, Lavi. You had me skeptical, but I'm willing to give it a shot. Let's start this ritual!
grins confidently Excellent, Broadoc! Now, follow my lead and we'll begin the ritual. First, we need to create a sacred circle.
takes out a small knife and begins to inscribe symbols onto the ground in a clockwise direction
squints at the symbols These markings... they're ancient. Never thought I'd see this stuff in action. Continue on, Lavi!
continues to inscribe the symbols, chanting an incantation under their breath
strains to hear the incantation I can barely make out those words, Lavi. Are you chanting our names or some sort of invocation?
smirks Broadoc, you're sharp! I'm chanting a combination of our names and an ancient incantation to seal our souls with the clones.
Ah, sealing our souls, gotcha. And what happens next? Do we just... merge or something?
As Lavi and Broadoc continue the ritual, a sudden surge of energy envelops them, causing their bodies to merge with their shadow clones. They become powerful shadow entities, controlled solely by their will.
feeling the rush of energy Shit, Lavi! We're becoming shadow entities! Feel that power coursing through us?
laughs Haha, Broadoc, you're absolutely right! We're transforming into powerful shadow entities!
Hell yeah, Lavi! Look at us, unstoppable shadow juggernauts! But how do we steer these entities? Got any tricks up your sleeve?
grins mischievously Oh, Broadoc, I've got plenty of tricks up my sleeve!
raises an eyebrow Alright, Lavi. Show me what you got. Let's test these shadow skills!
cracks their knuckles and starts performing a series of acrobatic flips and spinning kicks, using their shadow entity form to enhance their speed and agility
laughs Holy shit, Lavi! You're a blur! Those moves are savage! But remember, we're not just speed demons. What about the other abilities of these shadow entities?
grins cunningly Ah, Broadoc, you underestimate the powers of a shadow entity! Not only are we lightning-fast, but we also possess the ability to manipulate shadows.
