The young woman shook her long hair out of her eyes, the light catching her
black hair and reflecting blue and purple highlights. She stood patiently
with her head bowed, awaiting her master's acknowledgment.
Mikkos watched her out of the corner of his eye, deliberately making his favorite spy wait in silence. So lovely, he mused, Pity, she would serve me well elsewhere if it weren't for her skills as a spy. He allowed her to stand there a few more moments before speaking, So Tempest my beauty, what information do you have for me?
Tempest cleared her throat, The Ronin are leaving Japan. They go to the American city of New York for a school program.
Oh really? the emperor said to himself.
A dark mist rose up beside Tempest, materializing into the form of a man in his mid-twenties with dark brown hair and ice blue eyes. He bowed to his master and the emperor smiled coldly.
And what news do you bring, Donovan? Mikkos asked him.
Tempest speaks true, the Ronin are coming to New York. A young woman, Sierra, has been chosen to greet the five when they arrive. She is in charge of getting them familiar with the city, the dark-haired warrior replied.
Mikkos clapped his hands together, Excellent! He smiled another cold smile, I believe the time for the New Dynasty to introduce itself to our little warriors. Not only will they suffer for the death of my brother, Talpa, they will find themselves broken and beaten. They will not be able to stand against us. Tempest, Donovan, you may leave. I must make plans for our first attack.
The pair bowed silently. A mist surrounded them both then dissipated, leaving the chamber empty except for the emperor, Mikkos.

We're being met by a student from New York University named Sierra Alexander. Dean Johnston says he personally selected her to greet us. Rowen said, reading the final letter from the dean concerning their arrival in New York.
We're being greeted by a chick?!?! Kento asked excitedly, All right!! I hope she's a babe.
She's a sophomore and is majoring International Affairs and five different languages, Rowen continued, ignoring him.
Is there any description of what she'll look like? Ryo asked, How are we supposed to know who she is?
Actually, Rowen said, going through the envelope, There's a picture of her in here. I saw it earlier. He pulled out a photo and showed it to each of the guys.
The picture revealed a young woman of about nineteen or twenty with shiny, red-black hair that hung to her waist and emerald green eyes. Her features, set in an oval face, were delicate and her skin was a light tan. Her figure was slim but toned and she was dressed in a pair of shorts and a small t-shirt. She was climbing a rock face, the view behind her breathtaking.
Wow! She's gorgeous, Sage said softly.
She is pretty, Ryo said, And that view's amazing.
Kento whistled, What a babe! I can-not wait to meet her.
Rowen checked his watch, Well, you'll be able to in about three more hours. We'll be arriving in New York at 11:00 in the morning their time.
Kento groaned, Three hours?! I can't wait that long! Then again, I could use some sleep, I'm tired. I hope we can go get some food when we get to New York, I'm already hungry again.
Kento, you just ate all our snack food half an hour ago! Sai exclaimed, I can't believe you're hungry again. He went silent for about two seconds before adding, Then again, it is Kento I'm talking about…of course he's hungry. When is he not?
Exactly, Sage said, laughing. Well, I'm going to get some sleep, too.
The other three agreed that sleep was a good idea and decided to sleep off the rest of the trip.
