Prologue: The Shadow
"*Pant pant pant*" A human male was fleeing from a band of monsters chasing him. "You won't get away! Bloody Fissure Thunder Thrust!" one of the monsters armed with a sword shouted and made a sudden straight dash for the human. "Shamshir!" a monster fly overhead simultaneously fired a gust of wind at the human as well, but he moved to the side, barely managing to evade the attacks. "T-they're catching up...!" the human panicked as he darted away from the monster the slid past him.

A pair of animal monsters appeared in front of the human and tried to tackle him, aiming their claws at his body, but he ducked and slid under them, once again narrowly evading their attacks. Suddenly, a puddle of liquid appeared and a slime girl emerged in front, trying to embrace the human and trap him, but he jumped high enough to avoid her grip. "I... I can't... I can only run..." the human kept panicking as the monsters chased him.

"Is all you can do run? You disappoint me." a voice said as a swarm of fog suddenly surrounded the human. From it, a crossbow bolt was fired, impaling itself into the human's leg, causing him to scream in pain as he collapsed onto the ground. "Hmph, was that all you could do? What a coward..." the same voice said. The fog disappeared and another monster came into the human's view, holding a scythe right up his throat. The other monsters chasing him were laughing sinisterly. "I... I'm about to die..." the human said in fear. "Is this... how it finally ends...?"

Suddenly, a humanoid figure appeared out of nowhere, to the scythe-wielding monster and attacked with a sword. The monster was knocked back, but flipped onto her feet and coughed blood. "What?! Who the heck are you?!" the monster shouted angrily. This figure was wearing black clothing with a hood and a metal breastplate, and a demonic-looking double-bladed sword. "Hmph... Were you really going to waste your life like that, human?" the figure asked.

"Who... Y-you are...!"

Chapter 1: Devil Necromancer
''It's been several days since the fall of Ilias, but the evil lingering across the world has still not been fully contained. A villain hellbent on destruction of the world had her plan failed, and is now on the run from the Dark Assassin Shadow...''

At the mansion of the deceased Shirome Artiste, a colossal chimera wrecked through and flew out of the roof, causing a massive tremor around the Forest of Spirits. Beneath where the figure flew out of was the underground Biolabs, where the human and ex-Promestein underling Solomon, and the red insane succubus Akame Artiste stood. Tamamo and Shadow quickly arrived on scene. "My perfect revenge, ruined." Akame said as she shook and rubbed her head before noticing Tamamo, and immediately fled. "Shadow! Capture her at once!" Tamamo ordered to the assassin, which he complied without a word.

Akame fled to the outskirts of the mansion and was running along the ground of the Forest of Spirits, but she didn't get far, as Shadow tailed her from the treetops. "Enough running! Shadow Snare!" Shadow shouted and summoned dark snares to trap Akame's movement. With his enemy trapped, he jumped down and attacked. "Blink!" Akame shouted and teleported out of the trap, causing Shadow to miss. "Pesky little insect! First my plans fail, and now you're here after my ass!" the insane necromancer shouted as she summoned zombies to her defense. "Incompetent minions..." Shadow sighed as he instantly cut down the zombies in a flash while staying in his spot as if he never moved.

"Grr...! Death Scythe!" Akame shouted as she gripped onto her scythe tightly as its bladed portion suddenly expanded into a large red magical crescent. Shen then slammed it down into the ground, creating a large shockwave that darted towards Shadow. "... Bloody Tornado." Shadow muttered as he spun rapidly, slashing as a tornado and nullifying the shockwave. Shadow immediately rushed to Akame and performed a powerful slash to her chest, sending her tumbling across the battlefield and into a tree. "A rather sad attempt to flee, and even sadder attempt to fight." Shadow muttered.

As Shadow stood over Akame, the necromancer suddenly started laughing. "Our fight? Over? No... it's only just begun!" she said as she stood up, immediately healing all her wounds.

Chapter 2: The Dark Puppet
<!--During a mission to find Solomon, a formerly wanted man who evaded capture, one of Shadow's investigations led him to Chrome, a former accomplice. However, the church's doors were locked and the window curtains were rolled down, but there was a very very faint noise coming from inside. Shadow used Shadow Meld to enter the church and looked around. "Ahh... M-more... S-shadow...!" moaned a voice within the church. What little visibility in the dark church showed a young-looking succubus on all fours at the altar, with what appeared to be a human-sized marionette-like figure on her rear. After a few seconds, Chrome let out an ecstasy moan and collapsed forward, with the marionette falling on top of her. "H-haa~ M-my sex doll... w-was a com-complete suc-success...!" Chrome said as she took a few deep breaths. Once she collected herself, she tried to get back up, only to look in front of her and see Shadow. "E-eek! You should have knocked, you little sneak!" Chrome shouted, blushing and covering herself with her hands.

"It's been two years, huh?" Chrome said with a smile as she sat on Shadow's lap, fully clothed. "The Monster Lord gave me a chance to redeem my family's reputation. She's deathly afraid of ghosts and despises zombies so she banned them both, but the lost arts of doll making... It's quite a passion~ Do you see this marionette before you?" Several magic strings formed from Chrome's fingertips and attached themselves to the marionette she presented. With a wave of motion from her hand, two wooden logs were ejected out of the marionette's right hand and their ends were fashioned together; it was a blade staff weapon. "Mostly I've made miniature dolls, but this a secret project of mine: making human/monster-sized marionettes. You were the base of this marionette. It's just a prototype, though." Chrome finished, smirking. "Oh? Promestein made a doppelganger of me before, but if you aren't using it for evil purposes... Even though it's just a start, your prototype seems really well-crafted; must have invested a lot of work in your new profession. I'm sure the Monster Lord will be pleased once you present your show." Shadow said while petting her head. Looking around, the human spotted other smaller dolls of various other characters such as herself and Luka; the only human-sized one was the marionette of Shadow. It was only fair for Shadow to tell her about his journey up until now; she was very amazed to hear how far he had gone.

"So, what brings you here, Shadow? It's not just to see me, is it~?" Chrome asked. "I'm looking for a wanted fugitive. Solomon. I figured he might have visited you..." he told her. She then quietly stared at two dolls; both of them resembled Solomon. "Oh, Promestein's little pet? Two years ago he tried to investigate the manor, and unfortunately for him Promestein was there to capture him. However, he hasn't visited me at all, but I will let you know right away once he does." Chrome replied, hugging Shadow. "... I see. I appreciate the offer... he must have completely passed San Ilia and made way to Sabasa Castle straight away." he sighed softly. "Hey, don't feel down. You're tying up all loose ends, aren't you? I'm sure you'll accomplish your goal!" Chrome said, cheering me on. I smiled and kissed her lips. "Thank you... You've changed so much over the years, it's cute, really." Shadow smirked and laid her on her back, but she used her magic strings to stop his movements, flipping the pair over so she straddled him. "Ah ah ah! I'm not going to let you 'assassinate' me like last time~ Just lay back like a good boy and let me take care of you for the night~ I'd have to thank you here, it's a good time for me to try something new~" Chrome said, giggling as she stripped herself and Shadow and dropped her hips down on him he just laid there letting her take him on her wild ride. Letting out a pleasurable moan, she manipulated her Shadow marionette to take her from her rear; the two Shadows double teaming her, something I never tried before. "Ahh~ Y-yes! It feels so wonderful! I've missed this so much...! To be double teamed like this... A-amazing~!"
