Disclaimer: I do not own kaijudo
Author's note: this story will reveal a major twist in the end of the first season but it will be so hidden that I don't think any of you who have NOT! Watched the show yet probably will not guess the real twist (those of you who have seen the show shh) now this will follow the original story line but with changes to fit the way I want it to go. Now there will be violence or as I call it action but I don't know if there will be any swearing or if I will bother with a pairing, that's all up in the air right now.
Chapter 1 I'm a what
The greenish blue door to a quiet apartment opened letting in three exhausted looking teens, the first was a young African-American boy with dark brown hair and chocolate colored eyes wearing a blue sweater, shorts and a tan colored hat he was chunkier than his friends but also more intelligent, he was followed by a young girl with reddish blond hair and green eyes wearing a purple shirt with jeans and arm warmers (no real idea what they are) she was the shortest of the three but she was defiantly in shape and finally a young Japanese boy with black hair, his bangs streaked red and black eyes wearing a red vest like hoodie with a green shirt underneath and jeans he has a very athletic build but streamlined and compact. As the three trudged into the house a woman with blond hair and green eyes wearing a pink long sleeved shirt with a brown belt and jeans came from a hallway leading to the bedrooms. As the woman turned to look at the children she gasped slightly.
"Are you three okay, your covered in dirt what happened ray" and she was right with dirt and water and mud all over them the three looked like someone had just dragged them through mud puddles. The Japanese boy walked toward the woman waving his hand in greeting.
"Yeah we're okay mom, but I'm going to go change allie and gabe already called their parents to come pick them up" his mom nodded as ray left the room to get changed. As he walked he thought about all that he had learned today about kaijudo and the creature realm, hopefully with the extra training they had been doing gabe and allie would be ready to train with master Chavez tomorrow or he would have to continue on without them. His was the last room on the left and was filled with posters and pictures he had drawn as he took off his vest and shirt to change a glint caught the corner of his eye and as he looked down he screamed.
Gabe and Allie were sitting on chairs at the kitchen counter with ray's mom when they heard the scream coming from ray's room. Jumping off the chairs all three of them raced into ray's room to find him standing in the middle of the room with his shirt and vest off looking at the gold symbol that was slightly protruding from the center of his chest. It was a five point star with a hole in the middle, the edges were rough and it almost looked like the star was made out of metal, allie and gabe looked on in shock while ray's mom walked up and placed her hand over the symbol gaining the attention of the three friends. She sighed as she pulled ray into a hug
"I had hoped that you would have had a few more years of a normal life, but what I am about to tell you does not change who you are or who you have always been" she pulled back to look ray in the eye as she took another deep breath.
"I know about kaijudo your father was a duel master, he was forced to flee the temple by the chouten and took me with him to the nature realm where you were born" Gabe and Allie felt their jaws drop when Gabe looked at ray
"Oh man! You were born in the creature realm this explains" "everything, it totally explains absolutely everything" Allie finished. Ray's mom smiled slightly at the two of them before continuing
"While we were over there your father told me of a prophecy that came from before the Great War that told of a child who began life in a lost realm and in the nature realm, this child would gain control of all elements becoming their guardian, then once the child becomes one with the elements he may rule over all the creatures of that element as their king and with the blessings of the monarchs he would become their god, as the god of all elements the child will end all elemental wars and bring the creatures together as the god of unity" ray's mother stopped to take a deep breath while the three friends all thought about what she was saying before she continued on.
"One of the only ways to identify the child who is to become the god of unity is with the symbol of unity, the mark that is on your chest" the three gasped in almost perfect unison "ray when your father saw that symbol he knew that we needed to keep you as far from the chouten as possible so he made me a gauntlet since his was broken from battle and after a year or so we were ready to come home but the chouten hadn't been waiting for us to take our time he attacked and your father stayed to fight him off while I got you to safety, as soon as we got to this side of the veil the mark started to disappear as the elemental energy isn't as strong here and till now it didn't show" to say ray was speechless was the understatement of the century. When he managed to get control over himself again he looked to Allie and Gabe who looked equally as shaken when they looked at him for a long moment there was complete silence in the room before ray turned back to his mother
"So what does this mean that I'm a creature?" his mother sighed "ray no matter what you are you are still you, I'm going to go finish dinner and give you some time I'll call when Gabe and Allie's parents arrive" with that she walked out and shut the door as ray sat on his bed with Gabe and Allie coming to sit on either side of him. He looked at each of them before flopping backwards
"So should we tell the masters or keep it a secret?" Allie asked as she too fell to her back exaughsted just thinking about all she had heard. Gabe thought about it for a while before turning to see ray and allie looking at him for his opinion
"well it would be a problem for ray to keep it a secret from them and they may be able to help him with his powers if we did tell them perhaps we should wait until we all make it in that way even if they do wipe our memories they wouldn't know about these ones that way we could still be here for moral support" the other two nodded before they hear ray's mother calling ray for dinner and saying that Gabe and Allie's parents were there to pick them up.
(the next day)
Ray biked down to the five paths dojo where he saw Allie and Gabe waiting in front of the door he smiled at them as he got off his bike
"you ready?" he asked, Allie sighed as she turned to face him "we're ready as we'll ever be" just then master Chavez came around the corner he is a man in his mid-twenties with black hair and brown eyes wearing red and black sweat pants with a red, brown, and black jacket with deep red hood.
"ray the natural you came" Gabe turned to him to point out his mistake "his name is actually raiden like the thunder bear from the Japanese pantheon of gods" Chavez smiled a little "and Gabriel and Allison" ray turned to him "their ready and you said they had another chance" Chavez nodded as he unlocked the dojo and led them to the back room with the false mirror that would lead them down into the temple. As they walked down into the stables to get creatures for their training ray noticed the unease in the air that only became more pronounced when they entered the stables as the creatures huddled in the corners of their cages, Allie looked at the skull cutter that she had meet the other day, it was a small creature with a skull for a head that had a horn on the top of its head that pointed backwards with a dark purple cape around its shoulders that hid its skeletal body, it had a tail and claws for fingers with one hand being replaced with a blade.
"is it usually this quiet in here" ray looked at the little guy as he nodded "something sure has these creatures spooked" Chavez turned when something caught his eye only the see a glowing blue hammer and the locks on the vault smashed "oh no the vaults been opened" as he ran to it a werewolf like creature with tan and white fur smashed through the bars of its cage hitting Chavez into the broken cage of another of its kind.
"RUN!" he called out as he ran from the creature behind him, "hill aflame the assaulter" he called as he used the sequence needed to summon a creature of the fire civilization. Hill aflame dogged two of the punches thrown by the other creature before punching it in the jaw and knocking it back as Chavez looked to the other cages watching as a huge bug like creature with a red stinger crawled out of its cage when a gong rang, turning Chavez saw that it was ray that rang the gong before a large rumbling shock the ground and a giant green beast with deep green horns and what looked like lava rivers around its body. All of them ran as the skull cutter that escaped was picked up by Allie
"How could the masters let something like this happen?" she asked, ray turned to her as he kept running "it was not an accident someone smashed the lock" as they ran from the building the creature burst through the ceiling
"it could always be a diversion" gabe suggested as they made their way to a stair well "a diversion for what?" Allie asked as she turned to see the creature bursting through the rest of the stables "I don't know, what's the most valuable thing in this place?" gabe asked while ray speed up "tablets in the library, come on" the other two looked at each other before picking up the pace. As they reached the top of the stairs they saw master Kimora a very chunky man with brown hair and brown eyes wearing green robes as he looked down shocked to see the giant creature, when he saw them he called out
"quickly children get to safety" ray turned to him as they ran past "but what about the library" master Kimora turned to look at them "yes go hide there" Allie was about to protest when ray and gabe grabbed her and ran for the library, as they ran they heard master Kimora summon his creature "mighty shouter". As they ran down the stairs on the other side of the door the saw master jaha an elderly woman with a gnarled cane with light black hair that was tied with skulls at the end of her many small braids wearing a purple dress with a grey shawl as she summoned a creature from the darkness civilization "black feather of shadow abyss" just as she finished summoning what looked like an animal skull with hands draped in a dark purple cloth with a horn coming out of its head, a blast of fire shot from the door knocking master Kimora and his summon a giant green elephant wielding a club, down the stairs with the creature smashing through the door soon after them with master Chavez chasing it with hill aflame. Ray, Allie, and Gabe ran for the library as the other masters showed up to battle the flame tropus as they called it, when they reached the library a boy a few years older than them with orange colored hair brown eyes and a small beard that was missing two fingers known as 'fingers' was already there with a tablet in hand and a back pack on
"Fingers what are you doing here" ray asked as fingers smirked as he held up a tablet "collecting tablets for the chouten, I thought you were smart" ray ran in front of him as he tried to exit the library but fingers knocked him back with a swing from the pack of heavy tablets. Ray looked up at fingers from the ground "why" fingers scoffed "I'm tired of pretending to be weak little fingers to these hero duel masters" ray stood "I won't let you do this" ray held out his gauntlet as did Gabe and Allie, fingers looked at the three of them "don't do anything stupid kids" Allie looked at fingers then at her friends
"you know guys we don't know much about the masters and all we really know about the chouten is what they've told us, let's hear him out maybe we're on the wrong side" ray and Gabe lowered their gauntlets. Fingers smiled "ah so I guess you're the smart one, there's a war coming us against monsters, these tablets are of the most powerful monsters we will use to win the war" ray glared at fingers once he finished before turning to Allie as she stood beside him and gabe in front of the entrance to the library.
"nice to know the plan, good job getting him to spill allie, three against one give up" fingers smiled at them like they had just told a joke "ha yeah not so much terror dragon remarry of doom" fingers robotic gauntlet glows as the clawed ends of the fingers shoot out to summon the creature of darkness
"uh Gabe strategy please" Allie says as the three of them back away from the hulking green creature that had large black horns with blue markings. Gabe looked from the creature to Allie "I suggest RUN!" they turned and ran for the shelves while fingers laughed at them "you should see the looks on your faces" with a swipe of his hand the creature jumped forward landing on top of the shelves cutting off their escape.
"tatsurian the unchained" ray called as he summoned the fire creature, it looked like a giant tiger wearing battle armor with large fangs and a horn that came from his forehead and shot straight up and to either side forming a protective crown, he red withdusty orange strips. Tatsurian looked down at ray with a slight snarl "again I am taken, were am I know!" ray chuckled slightly "uh hey bob and weave, bob and weave remember me" tatsurian growled "bob and weave is not my name!" tatsurian bent closer to ray when he smelt something strange about the kid when fingers laughed "I owe that thing some pay back" ray and the other ran behind tatsurian as fingers called his creature down. Ray looked to tatsurian as he looked straight at the creature "there's a duelist here who is stealing tablets about thousands of creatures like you, he's going to enslave them if we can't stop him" fingers smirked as he looked at his gauntlet "forget it kid even with tatsurian you can't stop me" tatsurian growled as he looked at fingers "never tell me can't" he jumped at the creature only to be smacked back by its tail nearly landing on ray and knocking the two of them to the ground. Fingers smirked down at them "not so easy when my monster is more powerful than yours" as soon as he said that tatsurian grabbed ray and put him on his back. Tatsurian shot one of the red chains around his wrists that extended wrapping around the other creature's neck, pulling hard he forced the creature to the ground while it tried to retaliate shooting spikes from its tail. Ray used his mana shield to block the projectiles as he climbed higher on tatsurian's shoulder "you got a change tactics, your smaller but your faster, don't go for direct attacks bob and" tatsurian interrupted him "don't say bob and weave" as the other creature shot again tatsurian scaled the wall behind him before jumping onto the bookshelves while dogging the spikes. As he jumped of the last bookshelf he spun slicing at fingers gauntlet with the spike on the end of his tail, the gauntlet sparked before turning off releasing the creature from fingers control. Ray watched as fingers backed away from his creature while he tried to get the gauntlet working again, after a few seconds he managed to get control back but ray had already formulated a plan, he turned to tatsurian "the duelist controls the creature, if we take out the duelist we win the duel" tatsurian nodded as he ran in the opposite direction for a sneak attack, as they ran past one of the shelves he saw Allie and Gabe "gabe, allie you have to duel" the two looked at the creature they were up against before looking at each other and nodding as they raised their gauntlets, gabe started "blinder beetle" a robotic beetle like creature came through the summon portal as gabe looked at the creature in disbelief "I did it, I reallydid it" allie opened her back pack letting out the skull cutter from her bag "all right little skull guy go attack that guy" the skull cutter ran at fingers but was blocked by a mana shield. Gabe directed his beetle to attack fingers destroying the mana shield as tatsurian shot rockets from his wrist sending the creature back across the veil ray looked at tatsurian "ugh you have rockets, quick question why didn't you do that sooner" tatsurian looked from ray to the rocket launchers "they are a last resort". Tatsurian took ray off his back and set him on the ground "I must say little one you have a worriers spirit for one so small and weak, and lacking claws or horns, or fangs, any weapons at all really, I am pleased to battle alongside you for as long as you last" ray smiled up at him "thanks bob" tatsurian sort of growled at the name while gabe and allie were celebrating in the background "we won, we won a duel" gabe cheered as allie high fived him "yeah we did, pinch me. . . yeah don't pinch me I'll hit you" ray smiled back at them before looking around the room "wait, where's fingers"
Ray climbed back on tatsurian as they ran from the library out to the main hall were the five masters were battling flame tropus, Master Chavez noticed them and followed with hill aflame. Within minutes ray caught up to fingers as he climbed the stairs to the exit of the temple. Ray jumped off tatsurian as he got caught in the door way and managed to grab the bag of tablets off fingers, before fingers could get them back hill aflame stood protectively over ray leaving fingers no choice but to escape without the tablets. Master Chavez stood beside ray as they watched the chouten's van take fingers with them, Chavez looked to ray "well done raiden" ray looked back at him "is that thing still lose down there"
Allie and Gabe looked out as the Masters did all they could to defeat flame tropus, Allie turned to Gabe "gabe are you ready" Gabe looked back at her "I doubt anything on this planet" "gabe come on" Allie interrupted as they ran toward the fight. Gabe directed his creature to shoot for the legs as Allie sent her skull cutter at its legs as well, master bright more's creature was destroyed as was master Kimora's as master jaha focused on her spell "just another moment" ray riding tatsurian came into the battle as tatsurian covered himself in fire while ray activated his shield, with one hit they knocked the giant creature to the ground giving master jaha the time she needed to perform her spell "flame tropus be gone" her shadow and many others stretched before encompassing the creature and dragging it back through the veil. Gabe and Allie ran to ray as he stood on tatsurian's crossed arms, ray looked to tatsurian "you should probably go bob . . . uh I mean tatsurian the unchained" tatsurian looked at ray with a smirk "you may call me bob" ray smiled as jumped down from bob and released the summons. Master jaha was nearly faint as the three watched masters bright more and Kimora help her, when master bright more looked at them he glared "so you were the ones responsible for the breakout and for this!" master Chavez stood beside them "no Nigel they prevented a theft from the library, it was all fingers working for the chouten" Kimora looked to the others "we must be more careful who we trust" Chavez nodded with a smile as he gestured to the three friends "and I believe that these three have proven quiet trust worthy today" master jaha looked at the three "true they came to our aid in battle and were effective" master Nadia sighed "little talent and no technique, but they do have promise" master bright more looked to the children and nodded "then it is decided"
In the council chambers the five masters stood by their chairs as Master Chavez announced "acolytes present your gauntlets" Gabe and Allie held out their gauntlets as the masters focused their energy and activated their personal gauntlets, Allie's turned a light purple color while Gabe's turned a light blue "welcome to the order of the kaijudo duel masters" Gabe and Allie turned to ray as he stepped forward to congratulate them and whisper "we tell them tomorrow" as they leave master jaha watches them closely.
(the next day)
After school the three meet with ray's mom outside of the five paths dojo, on their way in the see master Chavez heading to the back and follow him when the see that all five masters were weighting in the back room for them to arrive. Master jaha looks to ray "I take it you have something that you wanted to tell us" ray sighed and nodded "I can't really explain it but my mom can" all of the masters look to his mom waiting for the answer, she takes a deep breath before telling them her tale (I will not be retyping it) by the end all of them are looking between ray and his mother in shock and surprise when master Nadia breaks the silence "that is not possible is it, I mean I have never heard of this prophecy before" the masters turn to Kimora who is deep in thought "there is such a prophecy but I could never understand the beginning of it" master Chavez sighed "well then we'll try to help you master your powers any way we know how, but this also means that you have to be extremely careful of the chouten" ray nodded as they all walked down into the temple, master bright more looked to ray "if we are to help you control your powers then we need to make a plan for how we are going to do this, I suggest we get you to your so called guardian stage in each element before trying to become one with them as it may be easier on you" all the asters nodded while Chavez turned to the group "since you seem to have the most in common with fire we'll start there".
