The man got up from his chair and walked toward the bookshelf to his right. he looked around, as if afraid someone was watching him, showing no sign of fear, but in his heart, he truly was fearful. he cautiously pulled out a book, wincing at the pain of holding such dark magic, and opened it. a shadowy figure appeared from inside the book, just above the pages.<br/><br/>"Are the preparations complete." it asked him in a voice that showed no emotion. "Y-yes, m-m-m-master." the man said, still in a lot of pain."Good, if this works you won't die." the man said unfaltering with the same monotonous voice. The man dropped the book in shock and the pain left him.<br/><br/>"Die!DIE! dying was not part of my contract!" he yelled, furiously kicking the book aside. as his foot made contact, a jolt of the pain shivered up his leg, and he fell to the ground yelping. the injury was stronger this time, as if the book had known he was angry with it and reacted accordingly. "Damn you!" he yelled as the book flew open to a page he knew all too well<br/><br/>"No, NO! NO! NO!" he shrieked as it stole the life force from his body and a dark black circle with unearthly symbols surrounded the book. there was a flash of light and the book closed itself.<br/><br/><br/>Elsewhere:<br/><br/>JDizzle was walking to the local dollar store to browse when a gate that looked as if it was from ancient Japan seemed to appear before him. he stared. "Is that- no it cant be. and yet..." he trailed off in thought. He didn't even notice a man yell from the other side. "Roar Sabimaru!" A giant Snake head with a bone like body crashed through the door and grabbed him in it's coils. He was then dragged through the door which disappeared as if it had never been there.<br/><br/>He woke up feeling dazed and confused, laying in a large field he didn't recognize. "Where the hell am I?" he said, then grabbed his throat "My voice! what in the name of Zangetsu happened to me." then he realized what he had just said and looked down. his clothes were still normal but after he saw his hands and the fact that he was no longer 22 ocured to him he panicked, then fainted, but not before he saw a rather short woman with black hair run up and gasp as a white light enveloped them both.
