Billy Hatcher: Rise of Corvo [Shadow Curse]
______________________________________________
---Sub-Chapter 1: A dream

Billy woke up to find that he was back at home.

Billy: Was that all. . . a dream?

a voice: Breakfast! Come and get it!

Billy got out of his bed and walked out to the kitchen questioning what had happened while doing so.

Billy: It was all so real.

He walked by the kitchen window when he noticed Rolly standing outside with her back turned to the house.

Billy: What's Rolly doing here?

He ran outside to find out what was up but before he reached her, she turned around and said "I'm tired of waiting"

Billy: Waiting for what?

Billy reached out at Rolly when out of nowhere, she exploded into nothing but rose petals.

Billy: WOAH! O.o

A voice: It's been a long time. . .

another voice: It'll be okay, This is Billy we're talking about, He's been through far worse.

Billy turned around to find that it wasn't only Rolly who had vanished, but his home did to, Come to think of it, where was everything else!?

Billy: *Face of anger and confusion* WHAT IS GOING ON!?

---Sub-Chapter 2: Billy wakes up

It was the next morning. Everyone but Billy had woken up.

Oma-Oma: Breakfast! Come and get it!

All began to eat when Rolly said "I'm tired of waiting. . . It's been a long time. . ."

Bantam: "It'll be okay, This is Billy we're talking about, He's been through far worse."

While the group was eating, Billy started flailing about in his bed, shouting "WHAT IS GOING ON!?" No one knew what was happening so they rushed to Billy's side.

Bantam: Hey Billy, You alright?

There was a long pause which was broken when Billy slowly got up out of bed.

Billy: *cough* *cough* huh? what?

Rolly: BILLY! *hugs*

Bantam: Are you alright?

Billy: I don't know. . .

Chick: You've been knocked out for 4 days.

Billy: WHAT!?

everyone except Billy: *laughs*

Chick: Just kidding. . . you've been out for over a month now.

Billy: ACK! x.x

Bantam: Ignore Chick, You've only been out overnight

Billy: Okay, that's not nearly as bad. *calms down*

Rolly: So Billy. . . Do you remember anything?

Billy: I remember. . . something. . . but. . . nothing?

Bantam: You uh. Want us to help you out with that?

As the group explained to Billy What had happened, Billy was slowly beginning to remember the past events that took place. It looked like Billy's memory was the only thing that had suffered.

---Sub-Chapter 3: Billy's "Curse of the shadows"

a few hours later, Billy made a full recovery and was up and about again. While Billy was in the hut, The others were outside trying to figure out what they would do because it was obvious that the crows somehow became a larger threat. Oma-Oma had walked inside the hut.

Oma-Oma: You're okay now, I see. That's good to know.

Billy: yeah. ^.^;

Oma-Oma: Hold on I'll be right back.

Oma-Oma went to the Den's opening and told the others that there was something important that he needed to talk to them about. The others looked at each other and then went back into the hut.

Oma-Oma: I thought about the stuff you told me earlier about you being attacked by a "shadow" and I remembered something rather disturbing. Billy. . . Your life is in jeopordy.

All: O.O

Chick: How!?

Oma-Oma: Let me explain. 100 years ago, Dark Raven created shadows that would stop at nothing to destroy the being that they were shaped after. The shadows can only touch, interact, and attack THAT person, no one else.
Only one person was able to break the curse and survive but he met an untimely downfall soon after. I do not know how he broke the Shadow Curse but I do know it's possible.

Billy: So what, that shadow is just going to keep attacking me until I die?

Oma-Oma: That or until we figure out how to break the curse.

Rolly: But I don't get it. You said Dark Raven created the shadows, How did Corvo do it? He can't have the same power as Dark Raven.

Oma-Oma: That's true. . .Under normal conditions however; Dark Raven was destroyed. His dark magic that he left behind had to find a different host. Corvo was that host.

Rolly: But what if we take down Corvo, who will gain the power?

Oma-Oma: There wont be anyone else, instead it will go back to the crows world until it finds a host that can use it. That wouldn't be for 100 years because Dark Raven and Corvo ARE the only crows that can use such powers.

Bantam: I just thought of something, What if we defeat Corvo? Will the Shadow curse be broken?

Oma-Oma: I'm sure that would do it, but the purpose of the shadows is to stop you from reaching Corvo.

Chick: Correction, The purpose of the shadow is to stop BILLY from reaching Corvo. Rolly, Bantam and I can take Corvo while Billy distracts the shadow.

Oma-Oma: But I said Shadow"s". More than one. I wouldn't doubt it if Corvo made shadows of the rest of you.

Billy: So this is going to be more dangerous than before.

Oma-Oma: Yes. Only because Corvo has Dark Ravens powers as well.

Bantam: This is weird, Now in a sense, we are our own threat?

Oma-Oma: It would seem that way.

Rolly: Only they can create thier own eggs whereas we have to find them.

Chick: So then we make sure we have an oversized egg with us wherever we go. Then when we see that shadow thing again, we pop it in the face!

Oma-Oma: Okay, here's what we'll do. I'll do what I can to bring four eggs here, while you all stay inside. Be alert though because the crows can still come here.

about 2 hours later, Just as Oma-Oma said he would, he had four fully grown eggs brought up to the den, ready to be used when neccesary..

Billy: Oma?

Oma-Oma: Yes Billy?

Billy: You said that you didn't know how to break the curse. . . Can you think of someone else who might know?

Oma-Oma: Try talking to Allani, The elder of Circus Park. He likes to study this type of stuff so he might be able to help you.

Billy: Okay. . . wait. How do we get to Circus Park?

Oma-Oma: For now, by foot. later we'll find a better way for you all to get around.

Billy and his friends began to make thier way to Circus Park to consult Allani about the Shadow Curse. . .

Oma-Oma: Guys!

Rolly: GIRL!

Oma-Oma: sorry. . . be careful.

---Sub-Chapter 4: Road to Circus Park

The four were walking from Forest Village to Circus Park. It was a good thing that Circus Park was near by or it would have been a very, very long trip. . . No one spoke until about halfway there.

Chick: Hey, I just noticed something.

Rolly: What is it?

Chick: This time is very different from the last.

Billy: probably because were traveling by foot instead of by Cipher.

Chick: I don't mean that. What's different this time than before is that we aren't constantly bieng attacked by crows.

Bantam: Probably because Dark Raven is not around.

Rolly: But Corvo is. This is probably "the calm before the storm".

Chick: So lets move it before Corvo can do anything else.

The group began to hustle all the way to Circus Park. When they arrived, They saw a bunch of chicks around.

Billy: hey. um. . . Where's Allani?

baby Chick: In the fun house. You should see it! the mirrors are twisty!

Billy: Well. To the house of doom we go.

Rolly: uh. . . house of doom?

Billy: did you see it when we came here last time? O.o;

Rolly: no.

Billy: Well you're about to.

Billy and friends went ASAP to the fun house to find Allani. When they arrived they appoached the enterance where a crow appeared out of nowhere.

Chick: ACK!

Rolly: LOOK OUT!

Bantam turned and saw the crow cat coming right at him. Bantam was hit by the crow's arm slam which sent him flying backwards at one of the mirror's. Chick drove his egg at the crow sending the crow falling into the pit behind it.

Billy: That's what I meant. There's traps and holes everywhere in here.

Just as Billy finished Allani stepped out from around the corner.

Allani: Yeah, the crows put them there a while back. >.>

Rolly: Why are they still there?

Allani: were tring to fix everything but there's so many things that the crows left behind.

Rolly: ah.

Billy: I need to ask you something.

Allani: sure, what is it?

Billy: I had a shadow curse placed on me and Oma-Oma told me that you might be able to help me out with that.

Allani: What else did he tell you?

Billy: That that thing is going to keep attacking me.

Allani: Did he tell you that you only have ten days from the day your cursed to break it?

Billy: No but I'm glad you did! What happens in ten days?

Allani: When was the first day you were attacked?

Billy: Yesterday. why?

Allani: You have nine days now. . .

Billy: Until what?

Allani: Until your shadow destroys your spirit.

Billy: Destroys my spirit!? What happens then?

Allani: You lose all your happyness and you are then taken over by extreme sadness. Then you lose all will to live and the darkness starts to eat away at you until your no more.

Billy: Oh great. how can this GET ANY WORSE!? *Holds head with both hands*

Allani: It can't.

Rolly: well theres that. . .

Billy: Is there a way to break the curse without having to destroy Corvo because that would take to long.

Allani: Last time I checked, Anti-forms can be destroyed by concentrated light.

Billy: Which comes from?

Allani: a Rabbish.

Billy: where do we get one?

Allani: I. don't. know. . .

Billy, Rolly, Chick, and Bantam: *anime style drop on floor* awww.

Allani: You might try Giant Palace or Pirates Island.

Rolly: Well we have to find one fast.

Bantam: is there a pattern to when the shadow attacks?

Allani: no but as it gets closer to the final days, the attacks become more frequent.

Billy: I'll expect an attack tomorrow then. . .

Bantam: or today.

Allani: All I know is that there is no time to lose. You'd better rest because you will need to be ready for anything.

Billy: And by anything, you mean that. . . "Anti-Form"

Allani: The crows are threats too.

Rolly: We should start heading back. It's going to get dark soon.

Allani: Before you leave. I should also tell you that negative feelings usually trigger the anti-form attacks so try to stay positive.

They went back.

---Sub-Chapter 5: the 3rd night

Everyone made it back without bieng attacked and Oma-Oma asked how it went. Billy explained everything.

Oma-Oma: hmm. . . You'll have the best chances of finding a Rabbish at Pirates Island. It's dangerous there right now though so you should go with extreme caution. but not tonight.

Rolly: Were running out of time. We have to wake up early if were going to get there and have time to search.

Oma-Oma: Speaking of which. I managed to find you a Cipher. You can travel faster on one.

Bantam: We leave before afternoon tomorrow then.

They went to bed all thinking about the situation on hand.
