He was about to pull an Ether from his arm guard when the hair on the back of his neck stood up. Instead, he raised a hand and Thunder shot down, wiping out the Shadow in mid-lunge, along with the others rising out of the Darkness.

He allowed himself the tiniest smile before downing the Ether and turning most of his attention back to the Darkside. Oh boy. He still wasn't sure how to deal with this.
