Shadow vs. Tornado

 Alan Nguyen was walking through the empty park when the sky suddenly darkened, though it wasn’t night yet. From the shadows of the trees, a figure emerged—Shadow. His usual smirk was there, but this time, his eyes glowed with something Alan had never seen before: pure mischief.

“You’ve been causing too much chaos lately, Alan,” Shadow said, his voice low and echoing. “Time to see who’s really in control.”

Before Alan could respond, a loud roar cut through the air. A whirlwind appeared in the middle of the park, spinning violently. Tornado had arrived. With a flick of his wrist, he sent debris flying in every direction, but Shadow moved faster. Shadows stretched from his body like arms, wrapping around the spinning vortex, trying to stop it.

“Not so fast, Tornado!” Shadow shouted, launching a shadow spike directly at the center of the storm. The force of the attack clashed with Tornado’s wind, creating a massive shockwave that blew Alan backward.

Alan got up, dusting himself off. “You two never take a break, do you?” he yelled. “Let’s settle this before someone gets hurt!”

Shadow and Tornado paused, looking at Alan like he’d just suggested something insane. Then, almost simultaneously, they charged—Shadow slicing through the wind with his shadow blades, Tornado hurling razor-sharp gusts toward his foe. The park became a battlefield of darkness and wind, shadows dancing in the air as debris swirled violently.

But then Alan noticed something. Tornado was overextending, and Shadow’s attacks were perfectly timed. With a sudden leap, Shadow landed a shadow strike that hit Tornado directly at the core of his storm. The whirlwind wavered, then collapsed in on itself, leaving only a light breeze behind.

Tornado, panting and slightly dizzy, looked at Shadow. “Not bad… for a shadow guy,” he admitted. Shadow smirked.

“Next time, think twice before messing with me,” Shadow replied. He vanished into the darkness, leaving Tornado to slowly dissipate the last remnants of his storm.

Alan shook his head. “One day, these two are going to destroy the whole city…” he muttered, walking away. But deep down, he knew he wouldn’t miss the chaos for the world.
