'Run....that's all that you can do now child as the beast comes....after you and your heart......as it's savage mind comes to call for your soul for its vow...'

?????
As he was running as the shadowy figure of a large dragon-like beast runs after the teen as it lets out a terrifying roar echoes through the area. Eli Shane dashes through the darkness panting heavily as the heavy footsteps of the creature can be heard it was after him.
'Come on come on Eli you can't die now' as the Shane thought as he loads up Burpy at it but as he shoots Burpy as the slug fires it's attacked went through it, as the beast consumes the infurnus slug with its large fanged mouth "BURPY!" He screamed as the beast crushed his slug with its fangs and consumed him as its flames died out in front of Shane.
Eli just witnessed the death of his best friend as tears were in his eyes. As he was shaking in shock as he looked up at the dragon as its piercing White-eyes stared at him like it was his reflection and his blue eyes are filled in a mix of fear, shock rage, and confusion.

"Young soul...you cannot stop what's to come, you will have no control of this fate....."

"WHO ARE YOU WHY DID YOU KILLED MY BEST FRIEND YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR THAT" as he screamed as Beast lunges at the Shane as Eli's eyes widen covering himself for the fatal blow but it went pass through him sending he teen with chills. The teen opens its eyes only to see that the beast vanish, leaving him alone with the blood in his Claws...wait WHAT CLAWS?!? as he notices a pool as he looks at it as he only saw himself as The Beast has replaced his reflection as the young Shane looks horrified at this as he backs away covering his face as tears were running in his face.
"What's...going, it's that m-me?" The young Shane said as he's backing trying to Process what the hell is going on only to hear a voice in his mind echoes

"You cannot hide the truth forever.......you are holding the beast from your mind you must...release it..."

"RELEASE WHAT!? WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" Shane screams only to be greeted with the silence of the area as the mist surrounds him.

"WHO ARE YOU?! WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?!" He screams again in rage and confusion as he looks around wanting answers but his eyes widened in terror to see The dragon as it's looming figure looks at him with its terrifying eyes.

"I am The Beast of your soul awoken from a long slumber has come to life once again..."

"Of my soul?! What? That can't it be!" He screams at the beast only to give him an Emotionless stare at him as he was shaking. He couldn't run anymore and nowhere to hide as the beast began to approach him as he was backing away.

"Yes, it is the truth...."
"Now who are you...a MAN or THE BEAST.....?"

The voice echoes in his mind and the beast once again lunges itself at Shane as he screams in terror. As everything turns to black and then....

"NO!"

He screams as he wakes up from the nightmare drenched in sweat and tears in his eyes As he is Breathing heavily. He looked around his room as he put his hand on his chest to notice that his heart was beating fast but it calmed down a bit and let out a sigh of relief.
"Whew, it was just a nightmare thank god it wasn't real" as he was going to bed he heard worried chirps from his slugs as he noticed burpy and others looking at him with worry and concern for their slinger. He gives a tired smile and said
"Its okay guys don't worry it was just a bad dream now guys get some rest we have an important mission tomorrow got it," he says to his slugs as he slugs heard this they nodded and went back to sleep only to burpy to look at him with concern and chirps worriedly at him
"You too burps and besides no more eating pizza before bed for me," he says to his best friend burpy nodded as he went to sleep as well and Eli lay himself to bed ready to go to sleep as he thought to himself.

'The beast of my soul? What's that supposed to mean and that dragon....and that dream oh god no more eating pizza before bed Eli starting tomorrow' He thought to himself as he looked at the sleeping Infernus slug as he was sleeping right beside him as Eli dozed off to a dreamless sleep.

But little that the Shane knows this was the beginnings of a greater event that is about to change his life forever....
