Who... who are you?" Cloud-Strike stammered, spitting out a mouthful of blood as he tried to resist the compulsion. The man's laughter echoed through the room, his eyes glinting with amusement. "You are not worthy to know who I am, but I will tell you," he said, his voice dripping with condescension. "I have many names, and my favorite is Shadow Lightning. And I am Alexi's benefactor."
Cloud-Strike's face was filled with shock and fear, his eyes wide with a mix of terror and awe. He struggled to comprehend the extent of Shadow Lightning's power and influence, and the realization that he was completely at the man's mercy sent a chill down his spine.
"Damn it, what has that foolish Prince Jamtoe gotten me mixed up with?" Cloud-Strike thought to himself. "L-lord... Lord Shadow Lightning, I ask for your forgiveness. If I had known who you were, I would not have acted out of line."
Cloud-Strike's words were laced with desperation and fear, as he tried to appease the powerful Shadow Lightning. He knew that his life hung in the balance, and he was willing to do whatever it took to avoid further provoking the man.
"For...F-For give me My lord."
"If you want my forgiveness, there's only one thing you should do. Go home to the Scott family ninja Island. From this moment on, the Scott Ninja Alliance is no more. Do I make myself clear?" Shadow Lightning said.
Cloud-Strike nodded solemnly, feeling a weight settle upon him. "Y-yes, Lord Shadow Lightning. I understand. The Scott Ninja Alliance will be disbanded, and we will return to the island."
Shadow Lightning's gaze seemed to pierce through Cloud-Strike, as if searching for any hint of defiance or deception. Satisfied with Cloud-Strike's response, he nodded curtly. "See that you do. I will be watching. Any further disobedience will not be tolerated."
With that, Shadow Lightning turned to Alexi, his demeanor changing to one of familiarity. "Alexi, there is something I want you to do. kill every single member of the Scott ninja alliance except cloud strike.
Alexi nodded, his face expressionless, as he received the orders from Shadow Lightning. Without hesitation, he drew his sword and charged towards the members of the Scott Ninja Alliance. The sound of clashing steel and screams filled the air as Alexi carried out the brutal task, his sword slicing through the ninjas with deadly precision.
Cloud-Strike watched in horror as his fellow ninjas fell one by one, their bodies crumpling to the ground. When the carnage was over, Alexi turned to Shadow Lightning, his sword still dripping with blood. "It is done, Lord Shadow Lightning," he reported. Shadow Lightning nodded, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction. "Good. Now, see that Cloud-Strike is returned to the Scott family ninja Island." Alexi nodded and turned to Cloud-Strike, his grip firm as he led him away."
