Black Shadow

The Shadow Core or more commonly known as Black Shadow is a secret underground cult obsessed with death, destruction and world domination. It is founded and ruled by Apollyon, the mysterious Archangel who is not known by anyone except The shadows high ranking members. They strike from the shadows creating "accidents' to support their aims. They are supported by the Dangerous Black Scorpion who carries out the shadow cores most important assignments. They remained in the shadows until 2020 when Lukey Man and a handful of L.A.S.E.D. troopers survived an attack from the Black Scorpion.

Apollyon the leader of Black Shadow attempted to launch Planet Luke, a superweapon that would help them take over the world. However Lukey Man would stop this, destroying the superweapon and headquarters building, putting the organization in a crippled state

Origins
Black Shadow took many forms over the centuries. Black Shadow was originally founded In the 1300s originally being named "the cult of the archangel. They would work secretly, infiltrating governments and assassinating threats to their cause much similar to the modern day group. Eventually this group was found and dissolved with the Archangel forced to go back into hiding. The group would rise again however in the 1800s But would once again be shut down by the Government.

In the 1960s the Archangel would restart Black Shadow for a 3rd time recruiting troubled people into their organization. For years they would assemble slowly gaining power and their ability to shift world events also increased.

The Black Scorpion
At the beginning the the 2010s the Black Scorpion was first put in the field. The Scorpion was a Ruthless assassin who succeeded his missions with brutal efficiency. Every target on his Rader was quickly eliminated and the existence of the Scorpion and Black Shadow remained a secret. The Scorpion was responsible for at least 300 deaths in the next 10 years, with each mission made to look like an accident. The Scorpion was the most deadly fighter in Black Shadow and was feared by every member.

Recruiting Zurock
With Black Shadow quickly gaining power they discovered the existence of Zurock. An alien who had warred with the Lukey Man over the centuries. Believing he could be an asset the archangel sent the Black Scorpion to recruit him. Zurock already knowing that they would be coming went home to his apartment ready to take in for the night. However the power to the building went out and Zurock knowing why turned around. He asked what Black Shadow wanted with him.

The Black Scorpion managed to recruit Zurock into Black Shadow with weapons and the prospect of facing and killing Lukey Man. He earned a high rank and used his cover as a professor to achieve the goals of Black Shadow.

Hunting Mr. Grizzly/first failed mission
After Mr. Grizzly discovered the secret of Black shadow they dispatched the Black Scorpion to take him out. He pursued Mr. Grizzly for days until he led him straight into a L.A.S.E.D. force led by Lukey Man. A brief skirmish followed ending with Mr. Grizzly being mortally wounded. However before he died he was able to reveal the secret of Black Shadow to Lukey Man officially exposing their existence.

Retrieving Black Shadows Notebook
Shortly after this the shadow core got word that Lukey Man had retrieved a diary containing secrets about Black Shadow and was sending a L.A.S.E.D. force to the residence of Jack Scriven's to retrieve it. They sent the Black Scorpion to retrieve it. His mission was successful as he killed Scriven's, and all the L.A.S.E.D. troopers and acquired the notebook for Black Shadow.

Fighting Lukey Man
Black Shadow set up an ambush for Lukey Man, using a meeting with professor Blunt, who was actually Zurock a shadow agent which he hoped would provide answers about the Shadow core. The Black Scorpion, after retrieving the notebook entered the building. He defeated every L.A.S.E.D trooper that stood in his way and waited for Lukey Man.

When he came out the scorpion expressed how this meeting was meant to happen and chased him back to the meeting room. There Zurock ditches his cover and reveals he's a shadow agent. But Lukey Man easily subdues Zurock and he leaves angrily ordering the Scorpion to kill Lukey Man.

Lukey Man and the Black Scorpion fight with the scorpion getting the upper hand. He stabbes Lukey Man with his knife and comes very close to killing Lukey Man. But Captain Shlasser intervenes and the Black Scorpion is forced to retreat.

Capturing Lukey Man
After being captured Lukey Man is taken to the Wasp Nest to meet the archangel. After a tense meeting with the Black Scorpion Apollyon meets Lukey Man. After a brief conversation Lukey Man escapes. Terri Locoyate and the Black Scorpion are sent to retrieve him but they are unsuccessful. Apollyon is not fazed however and he officially launches Planet Luke, their new superweapon to destroy Lukey Man and his allies

Battle at the Wasp Nest
With thirty minutes until the weapon is ready to fire, Lukey Man and his team of agents show up, planning to destroy Planet Luke and bring down Black Shadow for good. Their efforts are undermined however by Blake Staley, a spy in their ranks. Lukey Man is busy fighting the Black Scorpion while Shlasser and Yoshi are surrounded by Zurock and Staley. However Zurock and Staley are defeated and Lukey Man deactivates Planet Luke and it is destroyed. Apollyon has long since disappeared from the battle and their base is vulnerable. The Black Scorpion kills Lukey Man, accomplishing his mission. However his allies destroy the Wasp Nest, leaving the Organization on the brink of destruction

Ideology
Black Shadow believed in totalitarianism And worked for years to turn the world into one. They planned on using world destroying weapons as leverage to take over the world. They wanted a world so full of chaos that Black Shadow could easily take control of it, with the Archangel at the top as the worlds leader.

Black Shadow was a total secret to the world and they made absolute sure it stayed that way. Anyone that even went close to exposing their secret were quickly wiped out along with all of their close contacts. Every agent was tracked by the shadow core to make sure they were doing their jobs.

Personal Relationships were strictly forbidden in Black Shadow. They did not want anything getting in the way between an agent and complete efficiency. Every agent needed to completely immoral and heartless to succeed.
