Then suddenly all the lights cut out again and then only eight lights flickered on and off. Three men appeared in front of Shadow, one with a katana another with a chain and sickle and the last was Xion with his twin daggers. The men disappeared into the darkness making only minimal sounds to taunt their prey as they prepared to pounce on him. The first to attack was the man with the sickle as he attempted to latch on to Shadow's leg and drag him to the ground and immediately following the attack the assassin with the katana launched himself in the air with his blade facing down hoping to impale his opponent.
