A Shadow's Lineage

Act 3 Scene 11: A wooden area just 20 miles from Oceanview. Sasuke, Steve, and Tohru stop on top of a tree. Steve told his little brother to stay with the Andrews siblings. The letter told them to go to a hidden house in the woods.

Tohru: "This is the area, guys. Whoever wrote this is either our friend or we just walked into a trap."

Steve: "I don't care anymore. Al and the Headless Dragon Clan is going to pay dearly for taking my parents away from me and my brother."

Sasuke (to Steve): "That attitude is going to kill you. You need to calm down."

Steve (to Sasuke): "Don't tell me to calm down. Your nightmare is already over. Why are you still here?! You could've followed Al to Japan and stopped him before this happened!"

Tohru (to Steve): "Steve, keep your voice down. Ninjas must be..." The Headless Dragon Clan-hired ninjas appear from the trees and the grass and they outnumber them. (finished his sentence quietly) "... silent."

Male Ninja 1: "Friend or foe?"

Sasuke: "What?"

Female Ninja 1: "He said, "Friend or foe?" Answer the question quickly or you will die." Sasuke, Steve and Tohru start to tighten their muscles and prepare to attack.

Sasuke: "F..."

Justin(interrupts Sasuke): "They're friends! Don't kill them!"

Steve: "Justin..." The Headless Dragon-hired ninjas lower their weapons. The female ninja removes her mask.

Female Ninja 1: "The 3 of you follow us to our home."

Act 3 Scene 12: The Headless Dragon Clan headquarters. Al is on phone and is trying to contact his ninjas.

Al (on the phone): "Come in, ninjas. Do you read me? Respond. That's an order." He throws his phone at Thomas Nelson Tyson.

Thomas: "What's going on?"

Al: "Our ninjas seem to have resigned from our organization." (to Dylan) "Dylan?" Dylan Martyr appears.

Dylan: "Yes, Al."

Al (coldly): "Go hunting. You know where your prey is." Dylan laughs evilly.

Act 3 Scene 13: The Headless Dragon Clan-hired Ninjas' secret home which is an abandoned house in the middle of the woods. Sasuke and Steve told Justin about the deaths of Steve's parents.

Justin: "I can't believe it. Al doesn't plan on killing us. He wants to us to kill each other or commit suicide. He won."

Steve: "My brother is scarred for life because of him. I would need to keep a close eye on him if he plans on hanging himself in the future."

Tohru (to Justin): "This may be off-topic, but how did you survive the gunfire from the prison riot?"

Justin: "They (the HDC ninjas) grabbed me, took me here and were very careful to make sure to get the bullets out of my body as painlessly as possible." The female ninja appears.

Tohru: "I know you. You're Mayumi Ito. One of the surviving teachers of the massacre years ago."

Mayumi: " That's right. Please forgive us, Sasuke. We all had no choice. The Headless Dragon Clan's new boss gave us an ultimatum. It was either join him and destroy Oceanview or live the rest of our lives with no home."

Sasuke: "You all are forgiven. Al needs to be stopped. We all have lost something important from Al, from Kohta and from everyone who shut us down." More ninjas appear.

Male Ninja 2: "We will be at your side, Sasuke. You and your new family here will never lose any more loved ones for as long as you live." The silent alarm went off.

Female Ninja 2: "Lady Mayumi, Dylan is here and he brought friends." Dylan is a couple of feet from the house.

Dylan: "To the ninjas we hired, you made Al very upset with your betrayal and you will be punished. Finally to the Ninjas, come outside and you will be reunited with your loved ones in their new home... IN THE F-KING DIRT!!!"
