As you wonder around the life sphere, you discover a group of police men pinta's, along with a very....suspicious looking man surrounding a wall of the main tool shed of Harvest Acres. It seems they found some sort of magical symbol against the wall. They look puzzled as all heck, and most importantly, they look like they need help. One of them turns around and waves you over, like your the one man that could solve everything and earn him a promotion.  

"Hey, you! Your one of the guys that do missions right?? Come 'ere for a second, we could use some help. Some mysterious guy left this thing here. If you help us, we'll reward ya'!" 

The peculiar man looks very...Lost, i suppose, having a frustrated lok on his face that basicallly screamed "I dont wanna be here" and "I'm not getting payed enough..." at the same time. Perhaps he would play into this in some way, or maybe in the near future...Ominous...ness... 



"Ugh...Why did they bring me along for this...I dont know anything about whats going on here, why do you think i'll help...?"

Shovel Knight found he enjoyed spending time in the farm of the Harvest Acres. There was something pleasing to be had from the simple process of digging up the soil and planting the new crops. He had spent much of the day out in the field, but now he was heading back, carrying a few tools back to the shed from whence he had gotten them. Much to his surprise, he found a cluster of Life Sphere police investigating the area. He came over as one of them waved him down. “Good morrow sirs! What troubles thee?” Shovel Knight said.

He politely listened to the police explain about the mysterious symbol, setting aside the borrowed tools and stepping up to the odd symbol. “Hmmm... tis most strange indeed. This manner of truth seeking art not mine usual trade, but I shall assist as best I can.” He said, looking it over and running a hand over it. “Tell me, art there any who witnessed thine 'mysterious guy'?”

When the peculiar man spoke up, Shovel Knight turned his attention to him. “And good morrow to thee as well. Might I inquire thy name? Shovel Knight, at thy service.” Shovel Knight said politely. He to wondered at the reason why he was here. Did the police consider him an expert on the matter? Knowing that might give Shovel Knight a better understanding of the situation. Or at least the situation the police thought they were in.

"Huh?"


The fine dressed man looked at the bright blue knight with a confused expression, not expecting him to be talked too."Oh, Hey....I guess your that guy the police threw a little fit over...My name's Adachi. Tohru Adachi." He said, flashing a gentle smile toward's the shovel knight. Adachi looked back over to the symbol on the wall, as the pinata's immediately bulged between them both. "Eh, don't mind the Rookie over here, Adachi just signed up for the force, so he aint got a clue what he's doing just yet. Were just givin' him hands on experience!" The pinata's said, laughing as they patted Adachi's back. "Oh jeez, thanks..." He said in a sort of 'Oh you guys' sort of way.

"Anyways, apparently a farmer 'round here saw some sort'a black cloaked figured sometin' or other put his hand over this thing, and this big piece of graffitti just appeared here! Were tryin' all our sources to see what this symbol is, but we aint got nothin'!" The pinata said, Adachi's expression being just about as bewildered.


Though, to the shovel knight, the tiny shovel wielding champion would start to feel a magical pull toward's the black image, almost as if beckoning the knight to put his hand on the symbol. Upon doing so, the shovel knight would hear....

"This world...this world, is a mess. Nothing but a diseased rock...However, it seems that we are trapped here, with no way out. But, that does not mean the world is hopeless. You, are one of the many who will save this world. All you must do to help this world, is to swear loyalty to a power that no one has seen before. Just say "I wish to help this world." And i will find you."

“Well met, sir Adachi,” Shovel knight said. “An apprentice of the law? Tis a noble trade thou hast taken up. I wish thee good fortune in thy chosen path. Anyway, there be a witness, but the man hath shrouded himself. His appearance could be anything, once he sheds his cloak. There be little aid there. Methinks mine efforts should focus on yon symbol. Nay brush or paint used, yet it simply appeared with a touch of the hand? Tis more than mere... what was thine word? Graffiti? It doth feel of sorcery. Methinks thine cloaked man art more than a common vandal.”

Shovel knight had heard the sound of the whisper when her first touched the symbol. Even now, he felt the urge to touch it again. Wary, but curious, he reached out for it once more, and this time the whispered words were heard more clearly. “Indeed... there art an enchantment upon the symbol.” Shovel knight said, removing his hand again. “I can hear words in mine head when I touch it. Tis a summoning. The voice speaks of the wretched state of this world, and offers a means to help. But, it asks for an oath of loyalty to a power unknown. And a claim to find me, should I utter the appropriate phrase. I dare not voice it, lest I summon this power inadvertently. I know a little of the magical arts, but yon symbol, it feels like black magic to me. Use caution about it, I pray.”

"Huh...Sounds like someone's recruiting." Adachi said passively, the cops simply listening as they seemed to be deciding on whether or not this job was worth it or not. "There obviously looking for some kind of help...to help the world of not, i dunno. But, sounds like a bad idea regardless....Shot in the dark, maybe there still around?" Adachi asked, shrugging as the cops, there palm tree's now standing on end as they looked around. "I mean, if i were looking to do this kind of recruitment, i wouldn't leave my symbol just laying around by itself. I'd be somewhere, watching, to see if anyone comes by so i can get to them as quick as possible." Adachi said, looking around, hand over his neck, before looking at the pinata's. "WAIT! i got an idea....maybe...we should look, and see if there still around somewhere!" One of them said, to which adachi only replied with a sigh.


"Couldnt be far off, i guess....If you care to help us out, shovel guy, I'd start looking close around, maybe inside the shed." He said, as the cop's wandered off to go and supposedly do there own search!.

“Their motives be suspect indeed, that they ask for an oath of loyalty before divulging their plans. Tis an ill omen. Methinks, if not an outright falsehood, their thoughts of help shall be twisted. Thou and I, we might not fancy their means of saving the world.” Shovel Knight said, nodding. He listened as Adachi mentioned searching the area. “Yea, tis possible. I'll lend thee my assistance,” Shovel Knight said. There weren't many places out in the harvest acres one could hide nearby. The most obvious location was within the tool shed itself. Shovel Knight figured he'd begin there and work his way out.

Adachi was looking inside of the shed, sighing as he shuffled through all of the loud cluttering farm equipment. "Hm...come on....bound to be here somewhere..." He said, looking around, until eventually seeing..something run down the stairs, lading upward. "Woah...HEY, SHOVEL KNIGHT!" Adachi called out for the knight, motioning him to come inside. "I saw someone, he went up the stairs!" He said, starting a mad dash to make his way up to the second floor of the over-huge shed, which at this point was just a storage. 

Meanwhile, the black figure was running quickly, hands at it's side, much akin to a naruto run as it grabbed the railing and flung itself forward up the stairs. It was on a direct course to the roof, and nowhere else. and Adachi was mad on his trail, only expectantly to be followed by Shovel Knight.

Quickly, the figure busted open the door with a hard shoulder first, running forward as he was suddenly stopped by the fence that was guarding the edge of the roof, stopping him from jumping off. Adachi followed suit, taking out what looked to be a gun, aiming it at him. Adachi kind of cowardly stepped back, not sure what to expect next. "J-just hold it. We don't have to settle this violently, huh??"
