Evil returns
Cale watched the night sky in wonderment. It had been a few years sense Lady Kuyra had told them they had to join the Ronins. Sage and Rowan sat next to him. The two of them had made it there job and, the others had paired off in teaching the four of them the values of the mortal realm. If they were to defend it with them, they had to know what they were fighting to defend. The Ronins had said.
So, here he was watching the sky and in wonderment, he felt Dais calling him. It sounded urgent to Cale. Therefore, after getting up the other two followed him. Dais had just woke up it seemed. Kento was out of his wits trying to figure out what had happened. The four of them were as of yet to tell the Ronins about any of there special abilities.
Dais looked to the other three warlords. They sat down and looked relaxed enough to tale the news his vision had brought, Dais began. "Talpa's second is coming, she is bringing with her the Enchanter of creation. You know as well as I that Talpa gave them a little present about two hundred years ago? Well let's say for short, that she is not the kind-hearted person that we knew. Her powers are ten fold what Talpa's was. Her powers could defeat us if not careful."
The Ronins looked astonished at the news and Kento fell from shock to the floor. The other three Warlords seemed to think about the news and then stood with striate faces, "You guys going to help? Or should we take care of this one alone?" They asked the Ronins.
The five of them stood with grins. However it was Kento that spoke first, "Heck yea were in. I have been itching for a fight for a while . . . Glade one came along! I was getting bored fighting the same people over and over again." The others just nodded and then went to Mia's for and information search.
Dais touched the screen, it had been the first time that they had been on the right side to see it and it was new, "So Dais, is there anything to help me with a search?" Dais nodded and began to tell her. After a few moments the computer screen then began to fill with information that sent Mia's eyes bulging.
"The information that is gives is a old fairy tale. About nine Worrier that harnesses the powers of, what is called the nine elements of magic. Their power while united were unstoppable intel, one day the powers of evil found a way to brake them apart. They sent element against element in battles. Like Night against Day and Earth against Sky. The elements battled tell their fighting gave birth to a new power. One powerful fighter came forth, one that could harness all ten of them and, called then to Unity. The power then defeated evil and there was peace in the land.
Sadly, the fighter that came from the new power then disappeared from their lands. It is said that her power is that of battle, the cries of death and the winds of life. A power that could literally take all life from a place and, equally return it in the blink of an eye . . . It sounds almost powerful enough to battle the Inferno and win to me."
The nine of them then gasped as the information then began to get more explicit about the new powers ablates. Then it was fragmented and incomplete.
They then turned on the TV and shock of all shocks they found a braking news report about a black cloud that had descended on the city and twenty-nine miles around the places. They watched and found unlike the raids that Talpa had. All the cameras were working. Then as people began to panic at the raging storm that began. A woman then floated down to them.
She had long blood red hair, which was kept in a braid that fell to the backs of her knees. Then eyes that glowed a blue violet against a pail skin which, was covered in a strange armor resembling Kuyrua in a way, save it be that hers was a black and had on it small gems that shimmered in the small amount of light that hit it. She landed not ten feet from the camera that was giving the report. They then spotted, an amulet that looked a lot like the one Lady Kuyrua had once wore but it was smaller and had Egyptian written on it.
"Don't worry little humans, all I need is the power in your pure hearts. Then you will not feel anything if I don't want you to." She smiled after that and evil laughter came.
Then she raised her hand and black and green lightning shot from it, holding the crowed in the pain filled embrace. Their screams of pain and fear sent shivers down all nine worrier's spines. They then finding out the location teleported to the fight.
She had just let them go and, was absorbing the energy made by the pure heart crystals that had come from the crowd. Out of no were waves of water knocked her over into a wall. She stood not fazed at all, "Who did that, I will make whoever did pay dearly for it!" She screamed in pure rage.
Then a British voice came from no were yet every were, "That would be me. I am Cye of the Torrent, Ronin Worrier of Trust."
The next voice came in consort one after the next. All was sounding the proud male.
"I am Sage of the Halo, Ronin Worrier of Wisdom!"
"I am Kento of Hardrock, Ronin Worrier Justice!"
"I am Rowan of Strata, Ronin Worrier of Life!"
"I am Ryo of the Wildfire, Ronin Worrier of Virtue!"
"I am Cale worrier of Darkness, Ronin Worrier of Obedience!
"I am Sekmet worrier of Venom, Ronin Worrier Piety!"
"I am Dais worrier of Illusion, Ronin worrier of Serenity!"
"I am Anubis worrier of Cruelty, Ronin Worrier of Loyalty!"
She then looked to the nine that had answered and then four more came and landed in front of her. She then smiled, "So you're the nine that I must destroy, the task is much to easy for me to do. However, if you submit to the power of my master. I can guarantee that you will live to see day light or, in your case." She said looking at Cale directly, "The night that you clam to be from . . . Oho look at me I am being so rude. You told me who you are now, it is my turn! I am Shatar Child of the Dynasty!"
She said as she then launched a varied amount of energy attacks at the nine of them. She then seemed to conger daggers from no were, throwing them at the nine of them. Sage seemed to be ignored for a while so he launched his shirr kill, "Thunder Bolt CUT!"
The attack hit dead on and, she fell to the ground. After kissing gravel, she stood again talking to the air and, singling out Sage. She managed to pin him. Then she was about to chock him when, Cye launched his Super Wave Smasher attack at her again.
She stood but before she could do more, a vary load voice came, "Shatar come to me!" She then stood bowing as purple light that engulfed her, "Do not think that this is the last you will see of me Ronins. I shall return and destroy you all!"
With that the ball took her to the clouds were the voice had come from.
The nine of them then looked to each other, "That had been close Sage. You have to be on guard more with powers like her. Were lucky she did not astral project and fight you. Two of them would have been much harder to fight." Said Anubis using his voice that he had gained when lurning as a desiple of the Ancient.
Cale nodded and helped Sage up. "That was good thought Halo, now we know our attacks can at least nock her down. She seemed to be like we used to, but that amulet might be key to getting threw to the real her. I remember Lady Kuyrua being like that once."
Sekmet was still watching were she had been. His mind filling with strange things that he could not understand. The blood red hair he had seen before.
Flash back
"Sekmet what is your new plane to destroy the Ronin Worriers?"
"Master I have made a perfect plane for capturing Cye of the Torrent." Talpa then held up a hand as a young girl in a black kimono and held on it a deep silky black sash across it came forward.
"MY lord, I am sorry to interrupt you but Lord Badimon says that he requires your assistance. It is about the Nine armors.
Her slender frame and long red hair had caught his eyes. However, she showed since of, having been beaten in her walk. She favored her right leg more so then her left. She was to pail to be natural.
After the capturing of Cye he had seen her again, they had spent hours with each other, just walking and chatting about things. Sekmet had been surprised at the power he could feel from her. She and he had to part after a long while and, she had given him one kiss to remember her by, as if she knew they would never meet again.
Sekmet had found his very being missed, her not moments after her leaving. The shock was that she a lady in waiting for Talpa's daughter Alena, after that, he never saw her again. After the Ronins defeated them, he had searched the whole of the Dynasty for her and found nothing.
End flash back
Sekmet was brought out of his pondering by the hand of Rowan on his shoulder. "You alright man? You look kin'da out of it ya'know?"
Sekmet put on his best victory smile for him, hiding the empty feeling in his spirit. He then played that he had just spaced out, "It was nothing Rowan, just thinking over the fight and, pondering what might have happed in different ways. You know the kind of things you form into habit as a Warlord. I guess habits die hard?"
Rowan nodded and they returned to Mia's manner and explained what had happened to Mia's and they had even called Kuyrua for help. Kuyra had told them that she could not because of she had become pregnant and her husband had to take the staff and guard the realm. They then said a bunch of congratulations and then stuff about it being ok they would manage.
Sekmet had found himself very sleepy and so went up stairs to his and Cye's room, he was sound a sleep once his head touched the pillow.
He found himself in the Dynasty, the last place he had seen her. She was there waiting for him.
"Sekmet you came back, I am glade." She said embracing him in a hug as she had done before.
"Tell me are you called Shatar? If so what dose the name mean?" Sekmet asked as if life and death. She hung her head, "I have no name, I am called what ever my lady and lord wish to call me. However, that name is Galdayen it means Wisdom of Earth. The name is from the Guardian, she was wise as anyone could be. Knew chapter and quires about everyone and thing. Her powers were of the elements of magic. She was born from the God of Battle and the Goddess of Creation."
Sekmet then asked her many other things. She answered him every time truthfully and with out even showing sine of emotion in her voice.
"Dose your master treat you well?" His voice was like a whisper. She looked away from him, "He dose as he wishes, never caring about other. Just his own self and kingdom, I am surprised that Talpa has not over thrown him by now. I wish he would. Then I would be nothing but a servant, like the others."
Then she kissed him, the kiss that he could remember. It was soft and sweet, but then again there was something about it, he felt there was suppose to be known to him. There was more then just a passionate kiss exchanged.
He woke to Cye shaking him, "Sekmet! Come on Snake Boy Kento is easier to wake up!"
Sekmet woke and felt groggy as if he had slept for years, "Fish how long was I out?" His voice sounding more like first thing in the morning rather then a nap.
"About three or four hours. Come on now dinners ready and you missed lunch." Cye complained. The nine of them seemed to have started rubbing off on each other.
Cye was able to whine and even get Sekmet to do what ever he wanted. Sage and Cale were so fears in competition that is was not funny. Dais and Rowan . . . in short they normally slept tell noon or better. Ryo and Anubis often were found in the library doing the leader thing and studying possible enemies.
The two of them then went down stairs to dinner. Mia had cooked so it was Italian. Mia was a two-country cook it was either French or Italian never anything else. Cye and had also found that the warlords could cook anything as long as you explained how to use most of the stuff in the kitchen.
They ate in mostly talking between Mia and Ryo and Anubis, pretty much anyone who was not making there own noise as they ate (Cale and Kento) who always seemed to compete who could eat more.
"Sekmet ya'look like your on cloud nine bud'y. What did you dream about? Sexy Dynasty chicks?" Sekmet rolled his eyes as he ate, "What ever it was I am not going to tell you Rowan. If you care to pry I will tell Mia what happed to the twenty five hundred dollars of computer stuff you bought." Sekmet just let the words hang as if a nooses for a lynching.
Rowan then turned red and looked back to his plate. Sage then giggled a bit, "I don't know what your giggling about Mr. I bugged Mia's room!" Mia then glared daggers at Sage. Rowan then looked shocked at Sage who was now as red as Ryo's Wildfire armor.
Mia was red as well but it was not a blush. Everyone was on the butts laughing so hard by the end of the meal that even Mia was holding her stomach from it.
Shatar walked to the thrown and bowed to the man there, "You summoned me Master?" She said her voice emotionless. He smiled evilly at her as he rose from his thrown. The thrown room had been emptied before she came.
"Yes I did my little weapon of distortion." He said pulling her to her feet and close to his form, she could feel what was coming poking her in the gut. She hated what he did, she had failed him, the Ronin Worriers were a great challenge to her and she had not even brought one back to have him torture. She knew this punishment was going to be hard. She tried not to panic as she felt him force her armor and sub-armor to dispel, leaving her in a short kimono.
Hours latter
Shatar lay on the floor, her body had stopped shaking a few moments earlier. The master had left as he always did. Her body screamed with pain as she tried to move. She managed to gather enough power to teleport to an empty bathing house. She then found a hot bath waiting and no one there. Climbing in she found the pain subsided but slowly. Her form ached, it always hurt like hell, no matter how many times it happened and he had even used his powers to bring tortures screams from her. He was very happy to hear her cry and see the tears of pain fall from her eyes.
The bottle of medicated oil lay at the tub side, pouring it in she felt the herbs take hold and the pain all but die to a soft aching in her waist. She would get them next time and next time she would not be punished for any mistakes, she vowed to herself. The nine of them are nothing in power compare to her. She is after all the daughter of the enemy that took two wars to really defeat. She could do better.
