Revelation

OOC: aYokano... you're turn...

Akira then faced the Master Ninja. She bowed to him and got into position. As did the Master. He got out his nigita and advanced at her with full speed. Akira stood there and when he slashed at her, she disappeared. It was a double. She appeared from above and used Meteor Strike on him. He was hit. He fell back. But got up quickly, he used Double Team. (sorry, i dont know what to call it). Doubles of him came around Akira. She tried to look for a shadow. The far right was the correct one. She spu around quickly with her sword and slashed at the far right. She slashed at his chest. Then they both went "ninja". Akira was the first one to fall. The Ninja came crashing down and almost hit her. But instead he hit the mat. They started to hit each other, then the master Ninja was pinned. He gave up. She was rewared once again.

Hikage looked at Fire and then back to Nate. She sat on the side of his bed and looked deep into his eyes. [COLOR=silver]"Nate... when you and I were talking... that was a dream. No, it was more like a journey for me to find out why you were like that. Why you were killing off people. It was my job to find out why you were who you were."[/COLOR] Hikage explained to Nate. Nate looked at her intensely. [COLOR=blue]"What do you mean, "Killing off people"? What did I do?"[/COLOR] Nate asked. [COLOR=darkred]"Nate... you were being controlled by a depression. You wanted to see your old friends again. Someone named Katherine and Alex."[/COLOR] Fire explained as well. Nate looked around in confusion, to him Katherine and Alex were dead, but when he was told that he wanted to know more.

OOC: Sorry, but it's ok if I am at the Castle of Dragonskeep right? ------------------- Kiara stood among the elder. Amelia listened in on the conversation. Sakhi Rakshe was one of the most well known DragonLords. Amelia stood among the others, then slipped away. Kiara did not seem to notice so she went over to the Lady. She was interested in what the history of the DragonLords were.

Saffire awoke to the sound of beeping from her mail. She dragged herself to the computer and clicked on her mail. A computerized voice came up. DIGIMON DIGITAL DISASTER WELCOME.

[B]???:[/B] HI! Who are you? [B][COLOR=blue]Saffire:[/B] My name's Saffire. I'm here for my digimon. I think I may have the soul of water.[/COLOR] [B]???:[/B] WOW! Come this way!

You're partner is here. [B][COLOR=royalblue]Tsunadramon:[/B]*female voice* Hello. I am Tsunadramon. You must the Soul of Water. I am as well. Welcome to my Paradise... or what is left.[/COLOR]

Athena blocked and fought off Gatorman. Akira looked on in surprise. She then got out another battle chip. [B][COLOR=silver]Akira:[/B] Athena, I think you might need this! Goddess of War's Sword battle chip in![/COLOR] Athena then received a broadsword that was silver all over. She ran towards Gatorman and slashed at his blade tail. It cut off. He screamed in pain. Then she used her Electron Cannon and shot one more time. Dupla used a shield. It bounced off.

OOC: Sure... dont matter to me! How bout yoO, WW2? ------------- Kiara walked over and Banner was still examining the darn thing. She stalked him for a while and then when he wasn't paying attention, she snuck up on him and pounced him. When she looked around, he was gone. He must've put the ring on. [B][COLOR=orange]Kiara:[/B] Ok, Banner. Where are you? If you don't come out, I will use my magic.[/COLOR] [B][COLOR=indigo]Banner:[/B] *laughing* Alright. *slips off ring* Wow, what a power.

Cuz man, you really got buffer. *starts to laugh* I'm joking, but seriously do you work out? Cuz I do! Sorry again, I am really hyper, I did not have anything to eat, I didn't sleep. Oh. Well, I'm going over to Ki... again... and no I do not like him.[/COLOR]

Akira stepped out and Trace got up and led her to the Winner's Circle. She recieved a medal, a magic bag, and a card key. Trace walked her to the Ninja's ring. A Ninja stood there. There were three competitions in that Level. She had to show her agility to the Ninja, then she had to show how well she can use her weapons, then she had to show the Ninja her ninjitsu action. She bowed to the Ninja and began. She threw several stars at a target and hit each one in the middle. Then she used a katana and slashed all of her targets with one slash for each. Then she used sais. All she did was throw them and it pinned a guy up on the wall. Then the Ninja threw crackling bombs at her and she dodged each one, then the Ninja had minions attack her. She disappeared and hit each one in less than a second.

Hikage and Kokuun sat far from the others. Fire walked over to Hikage and sat down right beside her. He held her hand. [COLOR=darkred]"Hikage... how did you do it?"[/COLOR] Fire asked. Hikage closed her eyes and recalled everything. Fire was insider her mind with her. He looked around. Then saw the scene. Hikage looked around for Kokuun. He as nowhere near. Then she saw him walking towards Nate. He grabbed Nate from behind and Hikage leapt in front of Nate. She held her hand over Nate's head and put a slumber spell on him. He became woozy and then unconcious, then fell to sleep. Kokuun came out of his invisibility. Hikage held Nate's hand and closed her eyes. She tried to reach the center of his mind, but something was forcing her back. Suddenly a picture of two people came upon her. A girl from Nate's past, a mask, a dagger, and black blood... the blood of the Black X's. She passed through them and found that she was in front of a girl... the same girl in the picture. The girl started to speak. "Leave him alone! You are the ones who killed off his village and ours. Let HIM BE!!!!" Hikage stared in surprise. "Uuh, girl, what chu been smokin? What do you mean WE killed off his village?" She spoke again. "Nate doesn't need the likes of you. He doesn't need anyone except me. Except the void that I must fill." Hikage rolled her eyes. "Great, another delusional act. NATE! I know you're here! WAKE UP! .... I'm sorry what's your name?" "Katherine. My name is Katherine. And I am Nate's only true friend. Stay away from him. I warn you." replied the girl. Hikage went on. "Yeah, sure. Katherine. Uh, but... you're not a true friend unless you are there to protect him from harm. You're not a true friend unless you can help him through the hard times. You are NOT a true friend unless you are there. I have been there for Nate, so many times. I have helped him through so many things. I actually helped him get out of his depression. I helped him remember what a friend is. I helped him. I did. So, Katherine, let me tell you this. Why don't you stay away? And why don't I warn you?" Katherine glared at Hikage and started to fade from Hikage's way. A path was shown. Hikage ran through it. Suddenly she came upon two roads. One said "The Road I need" and "The Road Everyone Else Took". Hikage looked through the scenes on "The Road Everyone Else Took". Mei, Fire, Light, Max, and others were there trying to help Nate, but failed. There was something missing from each scene. Something more. She then turned to look at the scenes from "The Road I Need" and none were there. She decided that she was going to take "The Road I Need". She entered and as she walked past, memories of Nate's childhood came upon. His mother and father, him playing with the other village children, riding a horse for the first time. Playing games, then she stopped. She looked in front of her and saw a burning village. She looked through it and it was through Nate's eyes. He turned to see the forest. Three shadowy figures were there. One stepped out and threw a fire ball. It was magma-y. Then Hikage knew who destroyed the village. Hikage looked forward and ran. She ran for about 15 minutes, but then stopped again. The path became narrow and was atop a bottomless pit. She looked down and saw that it was the Void in Nate's heart. She looked ahead and thought of Nate and trying to help him. She kept walking and then felt another spirit with her. It was Kokuun, and then another. It seemed as though the spirits of Fire, Light, Mei, Max, Amber, Meteo, Water, Amy, Shadow-Light, and others that were trying to help Nate was with her. Hikage knew that she wasn't alone in helping Nate for freedom. She walked the path. When she got to the end, there was a large door. She opened it and walked through it. Inside the door was Nate. He was sitting near a pond in a beautiful forestry. She walked toward him and sat down. Nate spoke to her. "You know what the hardest part about this is?" Hikage stared down at the pond. Only half his face reflected. Nate went on. "It's that I know people want to help me, but I won't let them. I can see them lying there, but there's this emptiness that tells me that it's not what I think, it's what they tell me." Now Hikage was interested. "Nate... who tells you what? Please remember I'm only here to help." Nate replied. "I know. It's what Alex and Katherine told me. Katherine is the girl you met on the way to see me. They told me that the Element X killed my village. They burned it down and watched them suffer. I thought it was too, because of the pain I felt, but since you're here, I don't know what to think." Hikage looked up. "It's ok that you don't know what to think. It's ok. You've been in hurt and pain, you've been scared. It's ok to be scared. I'm scared half the time I'm here. But I always remember that my friends and guides are there to help me through the time of fear. I always remember that no matter where I am, I am with the people I love most." Nate looked up at Hikage. Tears were in his eyes. Hikage knew he needed a friend at this moment. She held him. Nate was like a brother to Hikage. She didn't want to lose him. He cried. As he did, the pain started to leave. He sat up and looked at Hikage and laughed. She started to laugh to. Then, they held hands and walked out away from the pond. But in that scene, the image showed the outside Hikage the pond reflection. It was on the right side it was Nate and on the left was Hikage. And right behind and beside them were the other Element X's. Nate was free. Hikage opened her eyes and looked at Nate. She then looked up to Kokuun. "He's free." Hikage told Kokuun in a cracking, watery voice. She started to cry. Kokuun grabbed her hand and with the help of Meteo, they carried Nate to the infirmary. Then Hikage opened her eyes and saw that Fire was surprised. She sat there silently. He let go of her hand and patted her head. She put her head down.

Jerine appeared into the kitchen and found that the little rascals were eating the candied scones again. She shook her head and the General came by as she came out. [B]General:[/B] Queen Jerine. There is news that you are to attend at RedWall Abbey. Would you go? [B][COLOR=blue]Jerine:[/B] Why of course I would. Tell Athro the Hawk to be here. I am going.[/COLOR] The General nodded and Jerine got ready for her trip to RedWall. RedWall was one of many places that she loved. Most of her friends were there and she loved the people, especially the dibbuns. Oh, how wonderful they were. When Athro got to the castle, she got on his back and they flew off. They flew over many forests and then saw an abbey full of joy. She came upon it and Athro flew down. When he landed, the dibbuns ran screaming. She dropped down and was greeted by....

When Akira got to her Arena, her opponent looked a lot like Miss Millions. She was tall, skinny, had long blonde hair, wore designer brand pants and shirt and she wore a designer brand over shirt. [B]???:[/B] Good, you're here. [B][COLOR=silver]Akira:[/B] First of all. I'd like to know, who you are.[/COLOR] [B]Dupla:[/B] The name's Dupla Millions. My aunt is known as Miss Millions. Now let's battle. Gatorman, Jack in! [B][COLOR=silver]Akira:[/B] Athena! Jack in![/COLOR] Akira and Dupla pulled out the cable lines and jacked in. A projection appeared with Athena and Gatorman. Dupla attacked first. [B]Dupla:[/B] Gatorman, Blade Tail battle chip... in! [B]Gatorman:[/B] Gator Gator! GROAR! *HISS* Blade Tail! I am gonna slash you up. [B][COLOR=deeppink]Athena:[/B] I don't think so.[/COLOR] Gatorman grabbed his tail and twisted out a blade. He ran towards Athena, who merely stood there. Until the last moment she jumped into the air and used Electro Cannon. [B][COLOR=silver]Akira:[/B] Electro Cannon Battle chip, IN![/COLOR] [B][COLOR=deeppink]Athena:[/B] Hah! ELECTRO CANNON! FIRE![/COLOR] An electric bomb was fired at Gatorman and shocked him. Dupla stared in surprise. Akira knew that Dupla was probably working for someone, so she had to win.

save me water please! i will post my sign up later......

As the three Guardians passed through the passage, a shadowy figure seemed to pass by. Ki was the first to look, he thought of it as nothing and went on. Then more figures seemed to pass by and more and more. The three stopped and looked around. They were surrounded by what was called Wainers. A large snake legged, lion head, demon arms and hands, and gorilla bodied creature appeared. [B]Grafton:[/B] I am Grafton, Lord of the Wainers. Who are you? and Why do you trespass on our lands? Banner was about to approach the leader, but Ki stopped him. [B][COLOR=darkblue]Ki:[/B] I am the Moon Guardian, my friends and I have come here to get the gem of Hot Crater. The Vaptor Leader led us here.[/COLOR] [B]Grafton:[/B] Vaptor Leader?!?! GRRR! He shall pay for what he is doing! I despise that thing. GRRR! *ROARS* Moon Guardian, I give you passage to the gem, but... there is a small favor in return. [B][COLOR=orange]Kiara:[/B] Wait, Ki. Let me handle this. I've been here before... not on Hot Crater but... anyways... What is your small favor Grafton?[/COLOR] [B]Grafton:[/B] My small favor is that you help return my people to our rightful place. [B][COLOR=orange]Kiara:[/B] Where would that be? I thought that your rightful place was guarding the gem.[/COLOR] [B]???:[/B] *old man like chuckle* Yes. It would seem that way, but we protect the place from which the Void is to be opened. Before Lady Lira "persuaded" our first leader to help her in destroying the new guardians from opening the Void, Silia, Light Guardian, created us so that we would allow no one to open the Void. Our rightful place is to be at Temple of Chaos. That is where we are to be. [B][COLOR=orange]Kiara:[/B] Then so be it. We shall help you. But can someone direct us to the gem? I kind of don't want to be killed.[/COLOR] [B]Grafton:[/B] Not to worry. It is in front of you. Ki, Kiara, and Banner look in front of them and right there before their eyes was the Hot Crater gem. They looked at each other and Banner went up there to get it. When he did, a huge Basilisk appeared with a riddle. [B]Basilisk:[/B] *in a hissy tone* Before you take the gem and return to the outside, tell me this. What shines in the morning, shine in the afternoon, and glimmers at night? [B]Grafton:[/B] A riddle from the Basilisk. If you answer it correctly, he will lead you outside and also give each of you a gift. If answered wrong, then you will perish. I cannot help you with that. [B][COLOR=indigo]Ki:[/B] Wait, I know this. Shines in the morning, shines in the afternoon, and glimmers at night... yourself. You wash yourself in the morning and you shine in the light, in the afternoon you put sunscreen on and you are shiny, and at night you glimmer because you put lotion on. Am I right, Basilisk?[/COLOR] The Basilisk nodded and Banner took the gem. The Basilisk slithered his way towards the Guardians and offered a ride. They hopped on. The Basilisk nodded to the Wainers to follow. As they did, the Basilisk opened his mouth and a jet stream of acid flew at the door, incinerating the metal. The Vaptors outside looked on and fell to their knees. [B]Basilisk:[/B] TEKENYU! YOU TRAITOR! HOW DARE YOU KEEP THE WAINERS IN THIS HELL HOLE?! DID I NOT ASK OF YOU TO TAKE THEM TO THE TEMPLE OF CHAOS? Tekenyu, the Vaptor Leader, appeared before the Basilisk and quivered before him. [B]Tekenyu:[/B] Y-y-y-yes, you d-d-d-did. I-I-I-... oh dear. My Lord, I quiver before you. I deeply apologize. [B]Basilisk:[/B] Children, what do you think we should do with the Vaptors? [B][COLOR=indigo]Banner:[/B] I think we should kill them.[/COLOR] [B][COLOR=darkblue]Ki:[/B] I've got a better idea. Let's keep them alive. They may make great allies in need of help, am I corrrect, Tekenyu?[/COLOR] [B]Basilisk:[/B] Very well. You shall live. But if I hear that you did not keep your promise, then you shall all fall to my wrath. UNDERSTOOD?! The Vaptors nodded and they let them leave. Outside the cave, Engetsu and Goraikou waited. When they saw the Basilisk, they greeted him with joy. [B]Basilisk:[/B] Friends, it has been so long. Do these three belong to you? [B]Goraikou:[/B] Yes they do. And I see they have recieved the gem. [B]Basilisk:[/B] Yes. This little one, the Moon Guardian, is quite clever. I wish to meet you again. *bows his snake head to Ki* [B][COLOR=darkblue]Ki:[/B] And I you, but I have to ask. What about our gifts?[/COLOR] [B]Engetsu:[/B] You didn't, Basilisk, did you? [B]Basilisk:[/B] *chuckles* Very well. To the Moon Guardian, I give you... the Silver Medallion. It is a medallion of honor and loyalty. It is a medallion that will protect you in times of need. It is a medallion with mysterious ways that I have not yet to uncover. You are the one to uncover those ways. And to... I have not yet known who these two guardians are. [B][COLOR=indigo]Banner:[/B] Oh, I'm the great Shadow Warrior and this chick is the Sun.[/COLOR] [B]Basilisk:[/B] I see. To the Shadow Warrior, I give you... the Black Ring. It gives you the power of invisibility, darkness, and the ability to enveil enemies into darkness and create endless, bottomless pits of shadows. It can also sense those who are enemies and those who are not. It can also give you strength, speed, and defense. Ah, and also it can give you the power to call upon the creatures of Shadow. But, there are some thing I do not about that ring, so I give to you. And now, to the Sun Warrior. I give you this. [B][COLOR=orange]Kiara:[/B] *looks at a small cryastlized mirror* What is it?[/COLOR] [B]Engetsu:[/B] But Basilisk... these three so called "gifts" are your treasures. You give them to these children you do not know? [B]Basilisk:[/B] Yes, I do. I trust them enough to give them these gifts. And the answer to your question, Guardian, is that it is a mirror of truth, honor, loyalty, and trust. It shows you the past, present, and truth. It is the mirror that Hera has created. So it has been called the Mirror of Dignity. As I have said, it can show you the past, present, future. It is a mirror of truth, trust, honor, loyalty. It is a mirror that can show you everything. It is a mirror that has powers unimaginable to me. These gifts are to your advantage, use them well. Grafton. [B]Grafton:[/B] As a Thank you, we give you this. The gems of the sun, shadow, and moon. I do not know if they will do much. The three thanked everyone and they left with the Wainers following close behind. In the distant sounding, the Vaptors were getting their punishment. Engetsu stopped a little away from the Temple of Chaos. The Wainers flew to the Temple. Grafton thanked them and left. The 5 went back to the Chapel.

Engetsu and Goraikou stopped and smelled the air. They growled. Kiara, Ki, and Banner stopped. Banner was reluctant to say something. [COLOR=indigo]"Oh, no. Don't tell me. A Nightmarian? Is it one of Lady Lira's old Vaptors?"[/COLOR] Ki looked at Banner as if he was speaking another language. [COLOR=darkblue]"Umm, what is he talking about?"[/COLOR] "Lady Lira is a commander of the demonic crew of Vaptors, Wainers, and Grimlocks. And I believe that Vaptors live here. But Kiara freed them from Lira's spellbind so they are free. They may remember maybe not." Engetsu explained. Suddenly a Vaptor appeared and went down. It bowed to the Guardians and spoke. "Sorceress, Sorcerer. Lady Kiara, Lord Banner. And... I haven't met this guardian. But Hello. Welcome to Hot Crater. If you may follow me. I will show you to the gem."

Akira looked up and tapped Seta and Will. They looked up also. Seta looked at her familiarly. Then he rememebered. He stood and shook her hand. Kaya sat down and started talking to them. "I'm Kaya, like I said." Kaya told them. They all replied. "My name is Akira." "I'm Will." "You know me, Seta." Akira explained the 411 to Kaya. "Listen, there's something wrong about this tournament. I think we should be careful to who we speak and try different methods of battling others. Don't try the same thing twice in a row. Make you battle methods confusing to others, but known to you. I have a bad feeling about this."

Cassandra awoke to the sound of blaring music. She looked at Rocky and saw that he was high on sugar. He turned up the TV and was jumping up and down all around the house. She tried to go back to sleep but couldn't. She looked out the window and saw that it was still night. It was at least 2:00 A.M. She then smelled another vampire coming near. She turned down the T.V. and sat Rocky down. She looked out and saw Dace's shadowy figure. He was looking for Davey and others with his blood. She handed Rocky a bag of blood and told him to stay put. [COLOR=indigo]"Listen Rocky. If anything happens to me, go to the police. Go to SIVAS and ask for Detective Morgan. Tell him a friend sent you. Oh, and take this. You might need it."[/COLOR] Cassandra handed Rocky a gold cross that didn't hurt him. It only hurt those who didn't accept it. He accepted it and thanked her. She walked over and found a window to escape from. Dace picked up the smell and followed. Cassandra ran like crazy.

Jerine looked at her kingdom from the top of the castle. She looked at beauty that is and will be. She looked around at the villages that was there. She was glad to be part of it. She went back down and the children that lived in the castle were playing warriors and pirates. She patted their heads and went on. She went to the General of her army and asked for a report. "What is the status of our land?" Jerine asked. The General replied. "Well, your highness, all is well. No one is fighting only small families are arguing and Bloddwrath is no where to be seen. Neither is any of our old enemies." "Good, let's keep it at that and give me reports every few moments. I don't want to be worried." With that she left and trailed off to the kitchen.

Hikage looked at the bloodshed, Hikage wondered what that was that Max had turned to. She had never seen or heard anything like that of what he had become. Hikage looked around for Kokuun. He as nowhere near. Then she saw him walking towards Nate. He grabbed Nate from behind and Hikage leapt in front of Nate. She held her hand over Nate's head and put a slumber spell on him. He became woozy and then unconcious, then fell to sleep. Kokuun came out of his invisibility. Hikage held Nate's hand and closed her eyes. She tried to reach the center of his mind, but something was forcing her back. Suddenly a picture of two people came upon her. A girl from Nate's past, a mask, a dagger, and black blood... the blood of the Black X's. She passed through them and found that she was in front of a girl... the same girl in the picture. The girl started to speak. "Leave him alone! You are the ones who killed off his village and ours. Let HIM BE!!!!" Hikage stared in surprise. [COLOR=silver]"Uuh, girl, what chu been smokin? What do you mean WE killed off his village?"[/COLOR] She spoke again. "Nate doesn't need the likes of you. He doesn't need anyone except me. Except the void that I must fill." Hikage rolled her eyes. [COLOR=silver]"Great, another delusional act. NATE! I know you're here! WAKE UP! .... I'm sorry what's your name?"[/COLOR] "Katherine. My name is Katherine. And I am Nate's only true friend. Stay away from him. I warn you." replied the girl. Hikage went on. [COLOR=silver]"Yeah, sure. Katherine. Uh, but... you're not a true friend unless you are there to protect him from harm. You're not a true friend unless you can help him through the hard times. You are NOT a true friend unless you are there. I have been there for Nate, so many times. I have helped him through so many things. I actually helped him get out of his depression. I helped him remember what a friend is. I helped him. I did. So, Katherine, let me tell you this. Why don't [I]you[/I] stay away? And why don't [I]I[/I] warn you?"[/COLOR] Katherine glared at Hikage and started to fade from Hikage's way. A path was shown. Hikage ran through it. Suddenly she came upon two roads. One said "The Road I need" and "The Road Everyone Else Took". Hikage looked through the scenes on "The Road Everyone Else Took". Mei, Fire, Light, Max, and others were there trying to help Nate, but failed. There was something missing from each scene. Something more. She then turned to look at the scenes from "The Road I Need" and none were there. She decided that she was going to take "The Road I Need".

Please remember I'm only here to help."[/COLOR] Nate replied. [COLOR=blue]"I know. It's what Alex and Katherine told me. Katherine is the girl you met on the way to see me. They told me that the Element X killed my village. They burned it down and watched them suffer. I thought it was too, because of the pain I felt, but since you're here, I don't know what to think."[/COLOR] Hikage looked up. [COLOR=silver]"It's ok that you don't know what to think. It's ok. You've been in hurt and pain, you've been scared. It's ok to be scared. I'm scared half the time I'm here. But I always remember that my friends and guides are there to help me through the time of fear. I always remember that no matter where I am, I am with the people I love most."[/COLOR] Nate looked up at Hikage. Tears were in his eyes. Hikage knew he needed a friend at this moment. She held him. Nate was like a brother to Hikage. She didn't want to lose him. He cried. As he did, the pain started to leave. He sat up and looked at Hikage and laughed. She started to laugh to. Then, they held hands and walked out away from the pond. But in that scene, the image showed the outside Hikage the pond reflection. It was on the right side it was Nate and on the left was Hikage. And right behind and beside them were the other Element X's. Nate was free. Hikage opened her eyes and looked at Nate. She then looked up to Kokuun. [COLOR=silver]"He's free."[/COLOR] Hikage told Kokuun in a cracking, watery voice. She started to cry. Kokuun grabbed her hand and with the help of Meteo, they carried Nate to the infirmary.

The boy turned half way to the meeting square. Lady Amelia reached in her pocket and grabbed two cookies and a small bag of coins. The boy put them into his pocket and stood there. Kiara and Amelia waited as well. He was to say something. "Lady Amelia and friend of Amelia. You are not to meet Mauryanna, you are to meet at the meeting square where The Lady will speak." A small ringing from the bell tower rang out. "Oh, no! We are late! Come, we must get to the meeting square now." The boy sprinted to the meeting square, following close behind was Kiara in her regular clothes and Amelia in her beautiful formal dress. As soon as they got to the door, the boy knocked three times. A pair of eyes and a deep, dark voice appeared. "Password?" the voice asked. The boy stepped up to the door and whispered something into the door. The man opened it and let Lady Amelia, Kiara, and the boy in. As they stepped in all was quiet when The Lady looked towards them. Her eyes knew everything. Lady Amelia courtsied and took her place with Kiara. The Boy ran to The Lady and tugged at her dress. She looked down and picked him up, wiping off any smudges. "DragonLords. If there is to be war, then children, like this one I am holding, will be orphans. Already most are. If there is to be sorrow, then let there be sorrow, but not for the young ones. They are our generation to come. They are the ones that will make the true humans see what we truly are! Aah, and I see we have a new DragonLord among us. Lady Amelia, who is our friend?" Lady Amelia stood and explained. "Good Evening Lady. This is Kiara, a DragonLord whose mother and father thought best that I took care of her so as not to have any "problems". She is now 16 and is learning advanced skills of fighting and controlling her powers. Kiara would you please stand?" Kiara stood. She looked around. Lady Amelia went on. "Before Kiara came to live with me, her mother and father gave me 4 items to give to Kiara. A ring, a family heirloom, a bracelet, and a gem. The heirloom is that of a pendant, which Kiara wears right now." Kiara pulled it out and showed it to The Lady. She was quite astonished. She gave it back and let Amelia continue. "But, I also gave her a present for her 16th birth. I gave her the Dragon Flute." Murmurs began. It got louder and the Lady sileneced it. "Amelia, the Dragon Flute was said to be long gone. You can't possibly say that you..." Amelia replied to the Lady's. "Oh yes. I can and I will prove it. Kiara. The flute." Kiara went back to her seat and rummaged through her bag and took out a dragon head shaped flute. Everyone gasped and murmured. The Lady spoke for them all. "One of the many items that can helps us in this time of grave danger and need. Amazing. And you, of all people Amelia, you found it." The Lady was interrupted by another dignitary. "What about the true humans? They are killing our families and our soul families. What can we do to stop that?"

OOC: Come on peoples i dont want this RPG to die out like my others did....

OOC: Where are you aYokano? I cannot do this twin thing without you. Engetsu flew a little behind Banner and Goraikou so that Kiara and Ki could talk. She listened gently though. [B][COLOR=darkblue]Ki:[/B] Is this dragon safe? I mean can we trust him? it? she? he?[/COLOR] [B][COLOR=orange]Kiara:[/B] Of course. If there's anyone in the world that I can trust it's Engetsu, Goraikou, Taiin, and Taiyou... but I must pass them on to you, the new Moon Guardian, Taiin and Engetsu. Remember, Taiin is kind of crabby when he doesn't get anything to eat. And each head represents a different thing. The middle is emotion, the right is powers, and the left is element. But enough about Moon Guardian stuff. Tell me, do you have family back where you are?[/COLOR] [B][COLOR=darkblue]Ki:[/B] Yeah. I do. I live with my dad. He and my mom split when I was only a lil kid. I asked him if I had any brothers or sisters and he said that I had a twin sister. She went with my mom. He also gave me a picture. It's ripped in half though.[/COLOR] Ki pulls out a half torn picture of a mother and a little girl. Kiara took it and stared at it. She then realized that the woman in the picture was her mother. Kiara gave it back hurryingly and got out her picture and gave it to Ki. [B][COLOR=orange]Kiara:[/B] Ki, I think we may be twins. That picture of your mother is my mother. And this picture could be your father.[/COLOR]

Trace found a seat by the ring and watched Akira get ready to fight the large man. Rodith came along to and sat down. The Anouncer came along. The large man smirked at Akira. [B]Anouncer:[/B] LADY, GENTLEMAN, CREATURES, AND ROYALTY! LET'S GET READY TO ROCK THE HOUSE!!! IN THE BLUE CORNER IS..... MISTER BIG! Mister Big got up and started to flex. Akira rolled her eyes. She wasn't impressed. She's taken down demons stronger and bigger than him... plus they had magic. She looked to the Anouncer. [B]Anouncer:[/B] AND IN THE RED CORNER...... just a minute please *flips through pages* ok, here we go. AKIRA TAIIIIINHEART! ALRIGHT, PLEASE COME TO THE CENTER OF THE RING! GENERAL JUDGE WILL SPEAK TO YOU OF THE RULES! Akira and Mister Big came to the center. General Judge grabbed their hands and put them together. When Mister Big squeezed Akira's hand and the whole crowd heard, not one sound came out. She then stopped Mister Big. General Judge explained about the others tradition. [B][COLOR=silver]Akira:[/B] The Taiinheart tradition before a fight is to pray to the Guardians, gear up, and *grabs a small dagger from General Judge* cut a small slit on your palm. *slits wrist*[/COLOR] [B]Mister Big:[/B] Are you crazy? That ain't no small slit! You're gushin' blood! [B][COLOR=silver]Akira:[/B] Mister Big, when the fight commences, you will be on the mat with gushing blood. I suggest you just get over it now.[/COLOR] Mister Big grabbed his own dagger and slit his palm, but wincing unknowingly to the crowd. Akira saw a slight twitch. They bowed to each other and got into position. When the bell rang, Mister Big advanced by charging with his arms open. Akira stood there until the last moment when she jumped high into the air and landed on a bar in the cage. Mister Big looked up and Akira flipped down and kicked him in the face. Mister Big backed away wiping blood from his face. Akira smirked and disappeared out of sight. Mister Big looked around frantically. A Wind Slash was brought upon him. He was sent backwards. Akira charged at him with Meteor Flight. He was sent into the air, but Mister Big quickly landed on his toes and charged at Akira before she could move. She was sent flying to the side of the cage. She got up and was hit by furies of fists. On the last one she was thrown into the air. When she fell to the ground, Mister Big flew into the air and landed on her back with his elbow. When he got up, Akira wasn't there. She stood behind him and had her hands together. Fire flew around her. She opened her eyes and raised her hands then threw her hands at Mister Big. The fire balls hit him and he was down... unconcious. Trace and Rodith sat there impressed. Not once did she wince or make a sound.

OOC: Did the two beasts take me back to the Lair or am I still there? ------------- Starr watched them go past her. When Yamikore came out, all he could see was Starr. The perfect bait for his perfect plan. Starr watched as the fight began. She tried to step away but a Shadow came behind her. She transformed into her dragon and blasted at him. Something shot at her and she fell to the ground, unconciuos. She turned back to the human form. Yamikore came out of the shadows and picked her up. Leonx did not notice this. He watched as his tribe fought the Shadows.

OOC: Ummm what post? where was she kidnapped? I didn't catch that... ------------- When Banner got out, something hit him on the head. He fell to the ground. He steadily got up rubbing his head. He looked around and to his right he saw a small, winged, two-legged, green alligator. It was sitting and looking at the New Guardians. Banner glared at it and tried to strike it with his sword, but it teleported itself into Kiara's arms. Banner stared at it as did everyone else. Andrea looked at it and saw that it had an emerald on its head. It must've been a newborn Gratian. [B]Andrea:[/B] This creature is a newborn Crocgator. It holds great powers to whoever it befriends... and it seems that it befriended you, Kiara. [B]Taiin:[/B] It seems to be that way. But I wonder. Whereever is its mother? [B]Engetsu:[/B] Killed off probably. A Gratian's emerald holds powers beyond the wisdom of ours. This little is probably looking for it. [B]Kiara:[/B] Well, it seems that it is still developing its powers... and as long as I'm here, it'll be with me.
