Mei's diary By Tsumi

Entry 1: The first battle.
I knew something was wrong the moment I stepped onto the platform form the trian. Ryo was usualy there to go back with me to japan. I headed for the airport as soon as I cuold t ofind out what had gone wrong.. As my plane landed in the airport all the power died and I got a strange chill I knew They were here and Ryo was in serious trouble.
I reached the battle field just as a young man with blue hair saved Ryo's butt he intorduced himself as Touma. From the top of a nearby building two more Trooper's showed up and introduced themselves So I showed myself to join the fight.. We fought the soldier but he was too strong. We got into an argument and a woman who had somehow survived the soldiers' attacking the city yelled that our hearts had to be united for us to fight. The soldier seeing her and a little kid grabbed them with the chain he was using. Touma in his full armor shot his arrow at the soldier but they felt the attack as well.he threw them into this big screen behind him but we couldn't hurt him or we would hurt them too. Finally this pissed Ryo off and he summoned the full power of his armor his sure kill . The soldier was ash and the two came down. Afterwards four men in armor appeared introducing themselves as Arago's four Masho. They left leaving the six of us and the woman and child alone in the now deserted city. What a way to start the summer.

Entry 2: Shuten

I guess the war has started. Arago has attacked and me and my friends the Yoroiden Samurai Troopers now have to fight him. I hope we are ready I really do. Well we found a place for shelter to rest until our next battle. The subway, we introduced ourselves to the two Rekka no Ryo, Tenku no Touma, Kourin no Seiji, Suiko no Shin, Kongu no Shuu and of course my self Hikage no Mei. They introduced themselves to us the kid's name was Yamano Jun and the woman was Yagiu Nautsi. She knew alot about the legends of Arago things even our teacher hadn't told us. The military attacked and the weapons were turned against them. We talked for awhile before Arago attacked again. Shuten the leader of the Masho attacked. The guys formed the circle of light which left the six of us powerless but we attacked him. Shuten beat us bad and Jun yelled for us to disolve the circle, but Ryo was too weak to move. Strangely though something happened and the power circle disolved returning our armors to us. Ryo attacked Shuten full force . He beat Shuten and fell unconscious. We rushed to help him, but before we could attack Shuten a strange funnel of power appeared out of nowhere and I blacked out.

Entry 3: Seperated?

The next thing I remembered was heat, an intense burning heat and a strange glow. I heard Bayukken growling and realized I was laying in a cave that must have been in a valcano. My Kanji glowed showing me my brother needed help. I climbed out of the small cavern and made it to the top of the valcano. Ryo was fighting the man who called himself Shuten. He grabbed Nautsi and Jun and threw them into the valcano. Ryo dove in after them and I threw myself at Shuten. Ryo returned with the two now in his sub-gear again. Shuten threw me off and grabbed Ryo with his chain weapon throwing him into the valcano. Ryo grabbed Shuten and pulled him in with him. It was hard to see what happened after that but Ryo came back out in his full armor and we left the valcano very quickly. We came to the beach to rest for a moment and watch the sun rise. Nautsi told us we should go see her grandfather who had told her about the legends.

Entry 4: Dr Yagiu and Nazza

We drove through the now deserted city and Jun wanted to stop at a street because his house was nearby. We told him his parents couldn't be home yet but the kid realy wanted us to go there so we did. We found his house and it was as empty as we had expected. Jun went inside and we followed. he ran through the house calling his parents he finally came to a room full of half dead plants Jun started watering them and Ryo said how you shouldn't water plants that wre already dead. I elbowed him and Nautsi glared at him. Poor Ryo he looked so embarrassed. We finaly made it to the university. As soon as we were on the grounds I noticed an odd feeling in the air like a very bad scent. We found Nautsi's grandfather professer Yagui. He was sitting in a dark room infront of his computer. Nautsi tried to turn on the light and he said it was fine. As Nautsi looked through the files Jun started to play with a camera he found. He snapped a picture of Ryo and one of Bayukken he also took a picture of me. He turned the camera to the armor collection in the room and then yelled saying the armor had moved. Ryo said that armor could not move on it's own as the armor full of Youja soldier attacked us. As Ryo and I fought the armor professer Yagui attacked Nautsi. Ryo helped her as I finished off the soldiers. Proffeser yagui was let go by the youja that had a hold of him. He was dying it was obvious he told Nautsi how to get the files about the yoroi and died. She grabbed the computer and started working. Bayukken ran outside I followed. I guess Ryo I said something to Nautsi as he was in there but I followed Bayukken to the top of the university where Nazza the Doku Masho was waiting for us. I attacked him along with Bayukken. He made his sure kill nearly knocking me off the building. Ryo arrived and attacked him, telling me to go keep and eye on Nautsi and Jun, of course I stayed on the roof with him. the building exploded from the force of our battle and we ended up on the ground. It looked like Nazza had six arms as we fought. We were having a very hard time till Jun yelled to us that he was just moving his arms very fast. Ryo lifted his swords to call his sure kill. Nazza was buried under a destroyed building hopefuly dead and we left with Nutsi and Jun.

Entry 5: Searching for Kourin

Arago had seperated us useing his dark powers now Ryo and I had to find the others before Arago's Masho did. Nautsi told us she had found the way to find the other four Troopers. She ussured us she had found where Seiji was. We came to a beautiful place with a stalagtitie cavern. Nautsi told us Seiji was somewhere in the caves in this place. Bayukken stalked toward the caves growling. He felt we had been followed. As we reached the cave entrance a gruop of soldiers and Nazza appeared in the stream near the cave. Nazza attacked, he and the soldiers charged us. Nautsi and Jun ran for the cave as we fought. Nazza had tricked us into leading him to our team mate. Ryo threatened him and he showed us his venom (He stank major B.O.) He sent his sure-kill after us claiming nothing could protect us from the venom. Ryo attacked him as I covered Nautsi and Jun. My brother was moving with serious stamina. I'd never seen him move so fast in all of our lives. Some how Nazza still hit him with one though. They kept at it and Ryo wasn't tiring in the least. He yelled for us to go and find Seiji,. I didn't want to leave him there alone but I went with Nautsi, Jun and Bayukken to find Seiji.
We followed the path closely and were deep in the caves when suddenly I felt a burst of pain and my eyes blanked out. My vision cleared and Bayukken raored I looked back over my shoulder. I told Nautsi and Jun to continue on and went to help my brother. Ryo was blinded by Nazza's poison. He was about to kill my brother when Bayukken and I came running out of the cave. I was in my full armor and slammed my staff into the back of his head. Bayukken stopped long enough for me too pull Ryo up behind me and we ran into the caves. Ryo tried to rinse his eyes out in a pool but it didn't work. We started to search for Nautsi and Jun as well as Seiji. Ryo held his swords out feeling the link between the six of us. We followed the link to find a large stalactite that pulsed with a greenish glow. It was Seiji. The soldiers came back this time they had Jun and Nautsi. I've gotta hand it to the kid Jun was being very brave yelling at Nazza and calling out that Seiji was in the pillar of rock behind us. Ryo punched the pillar angrily trying to yell at Seiji as I attacked the soldiers. The pillar of stone was starting to crack under Ryo's punches and Seiji fell out in a green glow. He aimed his sure kill at Nazza blowing the Masho away. We made it back outside and Seiji drew his sword pointing it at Ryo telling us he might be able to heal his eyes. He did and we made plans to go after the next Trooper.

Entry 6: Kongu's prison

Since there were six of us looking including Jun and Bayukken so we split to find Shin and Shuu. Ryio, Jun and Bayukken headed to find Shin as Nautsi, Seiji and myself went to find Shuu. Shuu was on a beautiful mountain trapped in stone. We made it to the moutain's base and Seiji said Nautsi and I should stay behind he took off. What a fool thinking he could find and rescue Shuu by himself. Nautsi and I headed off after him. After a short time a wolf pack attacked us, their eyes glowed evily and it was obvious they were under youja control. Seiji showed up and helped me chase them off as an avalanche hid the path around us. Seiji and I argued about him going alone and we hurred to the top of the mountain. We found a very big rock surounded by tailsmans which were obviously to protect it. Standing infront of the rock was a man in brown armor it was Anubisu the Yami Masho. He pulled out his sword and thrust it into the rock saying it would kill Shuu as we fought him. Nautsi stayed back as Seiji and I fought him in our full armor. He made his sure-kill and knocked the three off us off a cliff into a water fall.
The next thing I knew a voice was speaking in my head. It was telling Seiji how to unlock his sure kill. Nautsi awoke and the three of us spoke for a moment to make a plan. Nautsi and I went up to the cliff again to try and lead Anubisu from the stone that held Shuu so Seiji could try to break it. As we climbed we heard the same wierd ringing that had accompaned the breaking of the power circle when we were together last. We both saw a monk walking through the snow away from the stone. Nautsi said it was an ancient and he vanished as the snow intensified. Nautsi and I yelled for Anubisu saying the Troopers would stop Arago once and for all once we were all together again I though the so there at the end was a nice touch. Anubisu came out of nowhere attacking us. I didn't have time to call my full armor as he used his claws against me. He got both me and Nautsi tied up in chains and threw us into the waterfall. He yelled for Seiji saying we would die if he didn't show himself. We both yelled for Seiji to not show himself. When Seiji didn't show he made it very cold and dark all around us. the waterfall froze.
Seiji burst out of the waterfall grabbing us before we had frozen to death. (What a knight in shining armor). He put us down on the cliff and jumped over Anubisu cutting the rock. nothing happened after he had cut the stone and Anubisu said Shuu didn't want to come back alive. He jumped up on top of the stone and suddenly the stone began to split even more. His sword came flying out and he caught it as Shuu broke the stone the rest of the way. The Masho vanished leaving the four of us standing on the mountain alone. Shuu asked why we woke him up and Seiji told him he needed beauty sleep. We laughed and left the mountain to meet up with my brother and Shin at the place we had agreed on. After picking up some food of course since Shuu was hungry again.

Entry 7: A deadly trap

Ryo, Shin, Jun, and Bayyukken were suposed to meet us at a temple deep in the woods. When the four of us arrived only Jun and Yaku-kun were there. The kid told us Rajura had showed up and said he held Touma. Ryo and Shin had gone ahead leaving these two to tell us. We headed back for the car to follow them. Seiji mentioned the fact we could be walking into a trap and Shuu said he hoped it would be so he could fight, and he was hungry again big suprise. Bayukken led the way to the city. We left the car where we could and ran the rest of the way to find my brother and Shin.
As we looked for them I felt a large amount of pain wash over me and nearly fell, Seiji caught me asking if I was okay. I was it was my brother in pain almost blindly I led the others to where Shin and Ryo lay hurt. It had been a trap they were both beat badly. Shuu went running off to find Rajura and teach him a lesson and Seiji took off after him I stayed with Nautsi and Jun to help Ryo and Shin. We did what we could for them but both were seriously injured Bayukken nudged my shoulder and looked off toward the water. I smiled when I realized what the tiger was trying to tell me. I grabbed Shin's shoulders and starting draging him toward the water. Nautsi asked me what I was doing and I explained Shin was the warrior of water it would heal him if we could place him in the water. Jun and Bayukken helped me put Shin in the water as Nautsi sat with Ryo. Once Shin was in the water we started a fire putting Ryo close to it as we could and Bayukken laid down next to him. I was worried about Shuu and Seiji now the two's injuries looked more like they had tried to kill one another and not Rajura. What could have done that? Realization startled me as I looked at my brother and friend they had fought each other it was a trick Rajura had made them do it I hoped that Seiji wouldn't be so easily tricked too bad I knew Shuu would be. Soon Shuu returned carrying Seiji. He told us about the trap as Nautsi and I checked Seiji's wounds. Nothing serious at least. I told Nautsi I could handle Seiji she should look Shuu over. Jun told us Shin was waking up as I finished Seijji's wounds. Ryo had finally woken up a bit before and was staring into the fire. Seiji was starting to wake up. We finaly had most of the team if only we could find Touma he was the last of us left. Ryo looked up into the sky and stood suddenly startling the rest of us. He knew where Touma was, in space above us but how could we get to him?

Entry 8: A way to Touma?

We camped out for a day resting and renewing our strength. We were ready to find Touma but how could we get up to space and find him? After a lot of arguing we decided that some of us would go and see what Arago would try as the rest of us loked for a way to find Touma. Shuu wanted to go after Arago Ryo agreed with him. Seiji said we should be more careful he and Shin should go see what Arago was up to. Nautsi stopped the argument saying we should work together. We agreed wiht her but couldn't agree on who would go we decided to sleep on it. I curled up between my borhter and Seiji.
After everyone had fallen asleep Ryo got up to go on his own. I pretended to sleep curled up against Seiji. He called Bayukken from his place as the kid's pillow. I heard Shuu stop Ryio and make him agree to let him go. I pulled away from my comfortable spot and smiled at my twin. He was not leaving me behind I was going wether he wanted me to or not. Jun woke up and Ryio told him to tell the others we were leaving and they should go on to town. Jun agreed to tell the others and went back to bed as we left. We made it to town. it was just as bleak as it had been before. Empty of life and dark. we ran into a large gruop of soldiers. We fought some of them then ran. We could outrun them easily but had to find what Arago was doing. We came to a skyscrapper coverd with a strange energy. As we watched a ball of energy shot from the building and hurtled toward where Touma was in the sky. Soldiers attacked us as the ball went for touma suddenly a blue energy hit the ball turing it to dust. We finished off the soldiers and headed for the buidling we had to stop Arago before he could finish our freind. Ryo led us to the building. Once we made it inside Shuten attacked us again. Ryo told us to go up and check on that wierd energy as he fought. Shuu and I started climbing but were caught by Shuten's sure-kill. The wall fell down on us. Luckily Shuu is very strong and most of the wall hit him. Unluckily I was pinned beneath him till he could gather enough strength to break us out of there. I am so glad all the troopers are attractive. He finaly broke us out and we both called our full armor. We jumped up toward the top again as Ryo attacked Shuten. The soldiers though did not want us to make it to the top. Another energy ball was forming and we had to get up to the top to stop it we all jumped up this time making it to the top of the building where the spirits were. Shuten followed much stronger than he'd been a moment before he'd gained strength from the ball. The power of it weakend us though making our armor feel to tight. Ryo threw himself at the energy ball trying to stop it and was sucked in. Only Shuu and Bayukken grabbing me stopped me from following after my brother.
We made it away from the building Shuu almost had to carry me. We found the others at the outskirts of town and told them what had happend. we had no idea how to save our friends this might be the last time we had ever seen my brother. The pain was worse than any I had felt from him before.

Entry 9: Touma and Ryo return

I was in pain an imense crushing pain. I knew it was Ryo who was in so much pain but we were twins I felt his pain as if it were my own. I was fighting the pain as much as I could. The others watched the light that he was in. I fought back the pain as Arago's visage appeared infront of us. He said he was victorious we would be crushed soon. the others threatened him he only laughed and showed us Ryio in the energy matrix. He was sure he had won. He sent soildiers after us saying we could play with them till we accepted our fate. The guys fought hard againt the ever growing number of soldiers.i could hardly move from the pain. The light in the sky flashed brightly and we lost sight of it. Were Ryo and Touma dead? No they couln't be I wuold know if Ryo was dead I know I would.. Shuu said he would tear Arago apart if Ryo and Touma were dead. The others said we didn't know whether they were alive or not, but we had to get through these soldiers.. Strangly the pain was starting to fade I felt stronger our armor started to glow softly. Ryo was alive and so was Touma they were coming back. We finished off the soldiers and headed for where the light looked like it was falling to.
We found my brother and Touma finishing off a battle with Shuten. Ryo looked trashed and Touma was not much beter off. Shuten was taken away by a strange gold light and we welcomed our friends back. We all looked in the direction of the city we knew our next course of action we had to enter the city and find Arago's stronghold it was the only way to stop him we had to kill Arago. Hopefully we were ready.

Entry 10: The dark city

Making it back to the city took no time at all. We enterd the city again this time it was coverd in fog. We moved through the fog trying to find our bearings. Nautsi mentioned that the fog was a protection and said something that her grandfather had told her about the main gate. Shuu got angry again about Arago and Bayukken took off. We followed him to what looked like a wall made of fog. Shuu reached to touch the wall and Touma told him to stop it might be a trap. Shin found a car and started pushing it through Shuu jumped into the car as it rolled through the fog. Seiji said he couldn't belive Shuu would do something like that, personaly knowing Shuu as most of us did it didn't suprise me. A few moments later The car and Shuu came flying out of the fog follwed by tendrils of energy. The tendrils attacked us and grabbed Shuu, and Shin Ryo and Touma saved them as the rest of us ran. Jun tripped and they headed for him Ryo grabbed the kid and we made it far enough away for the tendrils to not reach us and took a rest we definatly needed it. We sat talking about plans amd how to find this gate into the castle. The fog lifted and Shuu decided to jump up onto a building to see what was up. He told us he saw the gates, the rest of us jumped up leaving Bayuken with Jun and Nautsi. We looked at the gates ther were four of them very big red and evil. We knew it would be to dangerous for Jun and Nautsi in the gates but it was also to dangerous to leave them here, and tryed to think of some way they would be safe. Ryo jumped down and we followed after. We came to one of the gates and Shuu opened it. Ryo told Nautsi and Jun it wasn't safe and the kid tried to make us take him. Ryo slapped Jun and the boy got angry and ran off. Nautsi followed Jun, the others told Ryo Jun would get over it. I told Ryo Bayukken and I would watch over them he nodded I hugged my brother the guys wished me luck I and took off after them.
I found Jun and Nautsi by a car the kid had stopped crying and said that we had alot to deal with and we all depended on Ryo. The kid had no idea how much we depeneded on Ryo. As Nautsi and I comforted him a jab of pain caught me off gaurd and I looked back toward the gate. A giant spider web was strung behind the gate. Nautsi and Jun followed my line of sight. We knew that the guys were in trouble and ran for the gate I had to help my brothers. At the gate I passed through easily but When Nautsi and Jun tried to pass through a wind kicked up and stoped them. A staff fell into Nautsi's hands it was the Shujaku the ancient's staff. Once Nautsi had a hold of the staff they passed through the gate easily and we went to find the Troopers. We found them, Rajura was seriously hurting Ryo. Rajura saw us and challenged me, I attacked him but when I tried to call my armor I couldn't. Suddenly the staff glowed and dispersed the spirits who had apperantly been stopping them from calling their armor. Ryo called his and attacked Rajura with his sure-kill. The gates were destroyed by the force of Ryio's attack and the others were cut down from the web. We rested and Ryio appologized to the kid and nautsi showed them the staff. We were finaly inside the gates and we swore we would fight till the end Arago's or our own which ever happend first.

Entry 11: Seperated again

There was fog all around us as we walked through the city. Jun suddenly looked up and ran to the side. He came to a skate board shop. This was where we had all met for the frist fight and where we had met Jun and Nautsi. Jun said he had to find his parents and ran off Nautsi followed him. Touma joked that Jun's parents would have to pay some serois baby-siting bill and we all laughed, Sieij said we had to stay sharp and not joke around we were in enemy territory after all. A gruop of soldiers attacked us then surounding us. Ryo yelled for Jun and Nautsi to find somewhere safe. Touma told Shin to go after them but were were all rather busy with the soldiers. Bayukken took off aperantly after them. In the fog I lost track of the others and the soldiers they were fighting after all I had a whole group trying to kill me. I made it into a store still fighting the soldiers. Suddenly Ryo came up with Jun and nautsi in tow. He helped me fight off the soldier and told them to run. We knew this seperation was a youja trick obviosly trying to keep us apart. I hoped our friends were safe. we left the biulding and were once more attacked. obviously the soldiers didn't want any of us to stay together. Stupid fog it helped them to seperate us. I lost Ryo again and tried to find him or any of the others.
As I wander sthe city killing off many soldiers I noticed a large flash of light and a loud rumble. When I got there I didn't see any of my friends. I did see the remains of about a city block though but had a definate feeling Shuu had been here who else could cause so much destruction, but if he had been here where was he now? I couldn't find any of the others. Of course all I had to do was look for places of big destruction and I would definatly find my brothers. I headed for the amusment park in the town maybe I would find them there. I made it to the amusment park and saw Ryo and Shin jumping off the parachute ride to help Seiji. I ran to join them. The soldiers were defeated and we followed Ryo and Shin to the subway again. We were sure we could find a way to Arago through there. Shin said we should find the other two first but Touma and Shuu appeared at that moment. Shuu looked upset and didn't even ask why we didn't leave any soldiers for him to fight. We started down the subway and heard a strange sound like heavy foot falls. Shuten appraoched, he was helmetless and his eyes glowed evily. He was human, not a deamon monster or a cloud of smoke like the soldiers there was acctualy a man inside the armor. He was like us, Shuu backed up saying something about becomeing like Shuten.. We had no time to ask about that, Touma said human or not he was strill evil and attacked Shuten who threw him into the wall. the rest of us followed attacking the Masho.. He was much more powerful than before and we called our armor. Shuu did not call his, when Touma yelled at him to call his armor he tried and failed. Shuu was doubting his armor and himself thinking he would become evil if he used his power. He attacked Shuten unarmored and was thrown into a wall. The rest of us attacked Shuten. He was much more powerful we were barely standing our own ground against him and Shuu was out of the fight staying with Nautsi Jun and Bayukken. Shuten beat us saying we were all weak but most of all Shuu was weak. Shuten then attacked Jun and Nautsi Shuu got mad and attacked Shuten. The rest of us tried to help but we were for too weak. Jun grabbed Bayukken and treid to stop Shuten from killing Ryo. He was thrown off and hurt. Shuu ran to help and the kid told him he could fight Shuu was mad and called his armor. He attacked Shuten again Shuten told him he was no match for him and they fought. Shuten continued to tell Shuu that he could become evil. Shuu did not belive a word of this and attacked Shute nwhit his sure-kill. Shuten was beaten. Strangly though when Arago tried to call Shuten back to him he was grabbed by the ancient one who had been helping us this whole time.

Entry 12: Kaosu the ancient

Shuten was still out as Kaosu introduced himself to us then told us we needed to find a shelterd place to talk. The ancient led us to a park to talk. Bayukken rubbed against him and he scratched his ears. He told us we were ready to face Arago himself. He then turned to Nautsi and Jun appoloigizing for getting her involved in the war then thanked her for helping us come together. He then told us that the five armors worn by my brothers were the same as the Mashos' armors. Arago could control us if we let him, but we would never let him. Ryo told the ancient Kaosu this and Shuten stirred he stopped us from attacking him saying he might join us. Saying it would be foolish to allow Arago to take the armor then turned to Shuten and spoke to him. He told him Arago only wanted the armor not him. They spoke for a long time as the six of us stayed in the trees waiting for them to finish. Kaosu left after talking to Shuten who sat there obviously thinking over Kaosu's words. the other three Masho attacked him saying they would take him back to Arago. We decided to show ourselves attacking the Masho and Touma told them they couldn't have him. The rest of us attacked. We fought the Masho, Shuten awoke and watched the fight. A strange light hit us and they grabbed Shuten. We had failed to protect him. Kaosu had returned he told us Arago wanted all of us under his control. We said we would take the castle. It was full of darkness but we had to fight it was our destiny.
Kaosu told us about the castle as we ate some food. Shuu had said he was hungry and the rest of us agreed food might not be a bad idea. We spoke about how to get into the castle. Ryo looked very far away and Shuu asked him what was wrong. Ryo told us it was nothing, i frowned at my brother then looked around.Jun was asleep calling out to his parents. We all exchanged a look poor kid his parents were lost. We noticed something was wrong. Kaosu and Bayukken were gone they had been right with us and were sundenly gone. After a moment Bayukken came running to us growling. we followed him to a strange pillar of light. The way to the castle that Kaosu had promised us. he had made it of his own body quite a sacrifice to get us to Arago. What a sacrifice, hopefully none of us would have to make the same.

Entry 13: Inside the Dark castle

We stood at the base of the pillar Ryo told Nautsi and Jun to stay behind. He looked over at me he told me he wanted me to stay behind too along with Bayukken. I didn't want to but I stayed with them after all Arago might attack them if they were here alone. The guys lept into the pillar. We called good luck after them and I watched them. Suddenly spirirts apeard around the pillar and starte blasting it making it almost disolve. I prayed that they would survive Nautsi looked like she was to. The pillar glowed the colors of the armors and the spirits were blasted. They made it safely to the top and we lost sight of them. I sat down next to Bayukken petting him worried about them. Jun sat down next to me and picked at the tiger's fur he asked me if they would be alright I smiled and told him it would be fine they could survive it and end Arago's reign. There were lots of flashes of light and I could feel most of Ryio's pain. I asked Bayukken too keep an eye on nautsi and Jun and headed for the bridge myself. Nautsi told me to be careful. I nodded and followed my brothers. I made it to the top as the Masho attacked. I joined them at the door Ryo glared at me for leaving Nautsi and Jun but I told him my place was with my fellow Troopers He nodded but still din't like me there.. The doors opened and a strange black swirl pulled us into the castle. Seiji and I found ourselves in a pitch dark room. Anubisu attacked us slashing and hiding in the darkness. Seiji and I tried to fight him even I was confounded by the darkness. It didn't help that he was dressed in a wierd outfit and an Oni mask. Seiji did his sure-kill and hit Anubisu. He told me to run for the door that was sudenly in sight I hated leaving him but some one had to try to get to Arago. I found Touma running down the hall. We made it to a room Where Arago was. Ryo was there too preparing to attack him. Touma grabbed one arm and I grabbed the other, Ryo was definatly glad to see us. he asked about the others but niether of us could tell him. Touma asked Arago why he wanted our world. Arago told us he fed off the negative emotoins of the mortal world. He also showed us his prisoners who were being used to make the soldiers. He then blasted us out of the room and completely out of the tower. The others also came out of the castle in various spots and we fought the Masho and soldiers once again.
Ryo went after Arago again as the rest of us fought. Touma amd I ended up against alot of soldeirs as Shin fought nazza, Seiji fought Anubis and Shuu fought Rajura. Ryio was thrown out of the tower agian and I fought my way to my brother's side.
Nautsi, Jun and Bayukken rode up to the castle. They were attacked by the soldiers as soon as they came in. the soldiers were endless and the masho were being very relentless. At least none of us were tiring yet. I helped Seiji fight Anubisu and turned on Nazza. Rajura tried to trip me. We needed to find Ryo as a team we would all be much stronger. we headed for the last place we had seen my brother. The Masho began to pursue us but Arago called them back absorbing their armors. Nautsi and Jun found Ryo and soldiers attacked them we showed up to help them. The guys surounded Ryo and there armor glowed the armor was reacting to something. Arago's fist punched through the roof and grabed Ryo.. he had absorbed the Masho and now was after the five of them.He threw Ryo down and his armor diapated. Seiji grabbed him and I joined them off to the side. Shin attacked him and was thrown down knocked out. Touma attacked him and Arago grabbed the archer and used him to hit Shin. Shuu treid to save them both and Touma was used to knock him away. Shuu fell unable to fight anymore. Arago absorbed both of the blue-boys into himself. He took Shuu too leaving Seiji ,Ryo and Myself. Shuten came out of nowher saving Jun and Nautsi. Ryo's armor started to heal him and Seiji handed Ryo to me and went after Arago himself. Seiji treid to cut the gauntlet and it shatterd his sword. I helped my brother stand we watched Seiji fight and be taken by Arago. Ryo pushed me away and called his armor back he went after Arago himself., Shuten helped him fight . I protected nautsi and Jun from some soldiers with Bayukken. We saw Arago take Shuten. only Ryo was left now the ninth armor. Arago stood ther on the tower fully himslef again exept the Rekka he was big black and evil and acctually frightening. I prayed Ryo would be okay and be able to save our friends. Jun called to Ryo that he could win. Ryo said he wanted revenge for the others and attacked Arago. Arago attacked him with the others' special attacks. Ryo doged him trying to attack himself. Bayukken helped him. At one time Arago froze he was paralyzed by the others. They told Ryo to hit Arago then and there he refused not wanting to hurt our friends. He was foolish to not hit him there I know why he didn't but they were willing ot die to stop Arago. Ryo didn't attack and Arago hit him taking the Rekka armor and my brother finishing his deamon armor. Nautsi and Jun huddled behind some rubble I sat with them. I started crying I couldn't stop myself. I had lost my brother and freinds. It was over all of our fighting had been for nothing and I'd never told Seiji that I...no it couln't end like this. I grabbed my staff deciding to die fighting if i had too. I attacked him with my own sure kill. Arago laughed at me saying I was no more than an insect to him. I didn't care he had taken my friends from me I would kill him or die trying one of the two. As I fought him the armor glowed softly a red light erupted form his chest plate followed by four others in light blue ,orange, green and dark blue. The lights collesed into one Ryo appeared in a new armor this one was white and he threw his sure kill at Arago. The armor seemed to explode we left the castle thanks to the armor. The guys fell out of the castle surounded by strange bubbles. they were safe. As they came to us I hugged my brother who was still very weak, he looked like he was going to pass out any moment luckily Shuu and Shun were holding him up . I hugged the others too hugging Seiji just a little more. Nautsi told us we could stay at her place as we rested from the battle.

Entry 14: it is over?

We put an unconscious Ryo in the back of Nautsi's jeep and went with her to the place she had lived with her grandfather. Ryo was sleeping off the battle and was put in a bedroom. We arranged rooms. Shuu and Shin took one room. Seiji and Touma took one. I was put in the room with Ryo. Shuu complained that Ryo got to share a room with a girl and i reminded him that we had shared a room since we had been concieved which the others laughed at him about. What a way to start the summer I hope this is over I realy do. I still have my summer home work to do.
