‫[[SIGHS

‫I GUESS JUST LIKE ‫.EVERYONE ELSE

‫I WAS DOWN AT THE DOCKS

‫THE NIGHT THE POLICE TRIED ‫.TO STOP THE GANG WAR

‫NOBODY REALIZED THE ‫KIND OF CHEMICALS

‫.THEY WERE STORING DOWN THERE

‫.AND THEN IT HAPPENED

‫[[COUGHING AND GAGGING

‫.THE BIG BANG

‫[[POLICE SIRENS

‫,NOT ONLY WERE WE ALL CHANGED

‫BUT SOME OF US GOT A REALLY ‫.BAD SURPRISE THE NEXT MORNING

‫THE SUN HAD TURNED ‫.DEADLY FOR US

‫.IT COULD REDUCE US TO ASHES

‫!AAH! AAH! AAH

‫WE RAN FOR ANY DARK ‫.PLACE WE COULD FIND

‫.THAT'S HOW WE MET EACH OTHER

‫,BRICKHOUSE, FADE, TECH, AND ME

‫.AND WE WEREN'T THE ONLY ONES

‫AT NIGHT WHEN WE ‫,TRIED TO GET HELP

‫.PEOPLE WERE FRIGHTENED

‫ALL THEY HAD TO DO ‫WAS SEE OUR EYES

‫.AND THEY KNEW

‫THE MORE THE ‫,ABOVE-GROUNDERS FEARED US

‫.THE MORE WE DIDN'T TRUST THEM

‫SO WE KEPT TO OURSELVES ‫.AND BECAME A FAMILY

‫WE CALLED OURSELVES ‫.THE NIGHTBREED

‫WE STARTED TO STEAL ‫.TO STAY ALIVE

‫.THAT'S HOW WE MET EBON

‫HE WAS REAL INTERESTED ‫.IN MY POWER

‫,HE SAID IT GAVE HIM IDEAS

‫.SO WE HAD TECH ANALYZE IT

‫THE BIG BANG HAD TURNED TECH

‫INTO THE SMARTEST ‫.PERSON IN DAKOTA

‫.WELL, GEAR MIGHT DISAGREE

‫BUT WE SHOULD NEVER ‫.HAVE HELPED EBON

‫.HE'S CRAZY

‫WELL, IT DOESN'T TAKE ‫.BRAINS TO FIGURE THAT OUT

‫?WHAT'S HE UP TO THIS TIME

‫.HE WANTS TO BLOCK OUT THE SUN

‫WE'VE BEEN STEALING PARTS

‫FOR A MACHINE THAT ‫.TECH IS BUILDING

‫.HE CALLS IT THE BLACKOUT BOX

‫EBON WANTS TO SET IT OFF ‫.WHERE NO ONE WILL SEE IT

‫,ONCE THAT HAPPENS ‫IT'LL SPREAD DARK MATTER

‫,ALL OVER THE SKY

‫.AND MAKE DAKOTA DARK FOREVER

‫[[PEOPLE SCREAMING

‫THEN, EBON WANTS ALL ‫OF THE NIGHTBREED

‫,TO TAKE OVER THE CITY

‫.WITH HIM IN CONTROL

‫?AS WHAT? MAYOR EBON

‫.MORE LIKE KING EBON

‫HE CALLS US HIS ‫.ARMY OF DARKNESS

‫.Static: STAY SHARP

‫.EBON WILL BE WAITING FOR US

‫.THEY'RE GONE

‫THEY'RE PROBABLY ‫,SETTING UP THE BOX

‫?BUT WHERE

‫.Ebon: 'FRAID YOU'LL NEVER KNOW

‫.PAYBACK TIME, STATIC

‫ALWAYS KNEW I'D PUT ‫YOU 6 FEET UNDER

‫.ONE WAY OR ANOTHER

‫[[EXPLOSION

‫!AAH! OHH

‫!THIS WAY

‫[[RUMBLING

‫!CAN'T KEEP THIS UP MUCH LONGER

‫.FOLLOW ME

‫.THE EXIT'S STRAIGHT AHEAD

‫.I DON'T GET IT

‫?WHY'D YOU SAVE US

‫NIGHTINGALE AND I ‫,NEVER TRUSTED EBON

‫SO WE MADE A DEAL TO ‫.WATCH EACH OTHER'S BACKS

‫SHE AND I HAVE ‫BEEN BEST FRIENDS

‫.SINCE WAY BEFORE THE BIG BANG

‫,AFTER DAKOTA GOES DARK

‫.WE WILL TAKE CARE OF EBON

‫NO! WE CAN'T LET ‫.DAKOTA GO DARK

‫EBON'S CRAZY PLAN ‫.WON'T SOLVE ANYTHING

‫.EVERYBODY NORMAL WILL LEAVE

‫WE'LL BE LEFT ALONE ‫.IN THE DARK AGAIN

‫?IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT

‫DO YOU KNOW WHERE HE'S ‫?PLANNING TO PUT THE BOX

‫YES. IN THE EXACT ‫.CENTER OF THE CITY

‫[GEAR? [BEEP BEEP

‫DUDE, YOU'LL NEVER ‫.GUESS WHERE THAT IS

‫,PUT THE BOX OVER THERE

‫.NEAR THAT OLD GAS STATION

‫WE COULD HOOK IT UP TO ‫.THE PUMPS' POWER LINES

‫?Static: OUR OWN HEADQUARTERS

‫WE SHOULD'VE GOTTEN A BIG ‫,GUARD DOG TO WATCH IT

‫OR AT LEAST A CHIHUAHUA ‫.WITH SOME ATTITUDE

‫.UNIT ACTIVATED

‫.COUNTDOWN, T-MINUS 60 SECONDS

‫!AAAH

‫.I DON'T THINK SO

‫!GET HIM

‫!STOP

‫?CAN YOU ABSORB ALL THAT

‫.I... I DON'T KNOW

‫.BUT I CAN TRY

‫IT'S WORKING. GEAR, CAN ‫?YOU STOP THAT MACHINE

‫.I'M ON IT

‫!NO

‫IF YOU DO THE WRONG ‫.THING, IT MIGHT EXPLODE

‫THEN MAYBE YOU DON'T ‫.WANT TO DISTRACT ME

‫UHH... UHHH

‫[[MACHINE POWERS DOWN

‫.DONE

‫OH, HOW DID YOU ‫?MANAGE TO REVERSE IT

‫.HEH

‫QUICK! I'LL TAKE ‫!YOU UNDERGROUND

‫.WAIT! YOU WORK FOR ME

‫,WE COULD'VE HAD DAKOTA AGAIN

‫.SLEPT IN OUR OWN CRIBS

‫.WRONG, FADE

‫IT'S LIKE NIGHTINGALE ‫,SAID BEFORE

‫WE'D HAVE TRADED ONE ‫.DARK WORLD FOR ANOTHER

‫MAYBE WE CAN FIND SOME WAY

‫.TO GET YOU ALL BACK TO NORMAL

‫YEAH, IF TECH AND I BOTH ‫.PUT OUR MINDS TO IT

‫NO! I'LL NEVER TRUST ‫.THE ABOVE-GROUNDERS

‫WE NIGHTBREED HAVE TO SOLVE ‫.OUR PROBLEMS BY OURSELVES

‫.Tech: HE'S RIGHT

‫I SHOULD'VE BEEN WORKING ‫.ON A CURE ALL ALONG

‫I'LL START NOW

‫.AND I WILL FIND ONE

‫!WAIT

‫PEOPLE WILL HELP IF ‫.YOU GIVE THEM A CHANCE

‫.SORRY, STATIC

‫IT'S HUMAN NATURE TO ‫,BE AFRAID OF THE DARK

‫.AND WE ARE THE DARK

‫?BUT, HOW WILL YOU SURVIVE

‫.WE'LL FIND A WAY

‫AND REMEMBER

‫YOU HAVE FRIENDS IN THE ‫.SHADOWS OF THE NIGHT

‫.[ECHOING] SHADOWS OF THE NIGHT
