Past Enemies Meets Present Foes CHAPTER 1
=================================================================================================
Rogue Ronin's POV
=================================================================================================

It was a quiet and calm afternoon for once in the Koji mansion. There has been no attempt by anyone, Dynasty or otherwise to try and conquer the world. So everybody decided to take in some R&R in their own way. Rowen and Mia were playing a game of chess. Sage was off meditating in his special place over in the forest. Cye decided to go for a long swim in the lake. Kaye went with him, but not to go swimming. She decided to take in some training time. Kento stayed inside and was watching tv, while Kento was flipping through the channels, Ryo walked by and saw a martial arts tournament taking place. "Hey Kento check it out there's a martial arts tournament going on." said Ryo as he jumped over the couch and landed next to Kento. The two were impressed by how well they were fighting.

"They're ok I guess, I bet that we can beat them with no problem. What do you say Ryo, how about it why don't we enter?" asked Kento.

"Enter what you guys?" asked Kaye as she, Cye and Sage came in.

"A martial arts tournament, what else. I mean come on it could be a lot of fun, and besides I'm tired of just sitting around doing nothing. We need some kind of excitement around here." said Ryo.

"You mean the one that the two of you were just watching?" asked Cye.

"Yea that's the one, it's coming here in a few days. So why don't we sign up for it, you know it'll be fun. Come on what are we waiting for, let's do it already." said Kento.

"Kento that's a national tournament, there's going to be people from all over competing in it. What makes you think that we can just walk in and say hi there, we're interested in competing, so where do we sign up?" asked Kaye.

"Actually Kaye that's already been taken care of." said Mia as she made a move to trap one of Rowen's knights.

"What are you talking about Mia?" asked Rowen as he countered Mia's trap.

"I've already entered all of you in it, and besides my friend's niece is going to be in it as well. So I thought that this is a good way for all of you to meet her. Since I'm already going there to watch her compete, I thought that the rest of you would be going crazy just staying here." replied Mia as she took Rowen's king.

"Well then since that's settled, I say that we start training again, the sooner the better. Are you coming Rowen?" asked Sage.

"Yea I'll be there in a minute, I just have to finish this game." replied Rowen as he moved into position to take Mia's queen.

"Actually Rowen the game is already over, you just don't know it yet and by the way Rowen, checkmate." said Mia as she took Rowen's queen.

"No way, come on Mia you have to be kidding." replied Rowen.

"Sorry Rowen, you better hurry and catch up with the others. I'll be out soon with the first aid kit." said Mia as she got up from her chair. Rowen just shook his head in amazement as he went outside to join the others for a training session.

A girl about 18 stood inside her house looking outside through the window. She smiled to herself. "So I'm finally going to meet him. Its been a long time since I last saw him, I wonder if he even remembers me?" she sighed and turned from the window. "Probably not." She stretched and walked out of her room and down stairs.

"Well, will you look who's up?" She smiled and sat down next to her aunt.

"Hi mom." Her aunt smiled, going along with the inside joke, while she poured her a glass of juice.

"Are you going to practice for the martial arts tournament today?" She nodded as she drank her juice.

"Yea, I have to be ready for it, wouldn't want to get out there and then make a fool of myself by loosing." Her aunt nodded and looked at the newspaper in her hands.

"Are you excited that your going to meet Mia's friends?" She nodded again.

"Yea, I've been dying to meet them ever since I first heard about them." Her aunt laughed some and went back to reading her newspaper. She finished her juice and got up from the table.

"Bye mom, I gotta go train."

"Ok, be back in time for dinner!" She grabbed her shoes and walked out side.

"Alright I will." She put on her shoes and headed for her training spot.

"Come on you guys we have to get better than this since the tournament is tomorrow." said Kaye as she blocked Cye's attack.

"Kaye why don't you relax already, you know that we'll take it with no problems." replied Kento as he delivered an attack towards Ryo.

"That maybe true Kento, but in this tournament you can't use your armor. These competitors are regular people with no special powers or armors." said Mia.

"Come on Mia we don't always need our armors. Besides this tournament should be interesting to say the least." replied Sage.

"Even though it might be a good idea to bring our orbs just in case. I maybe a little suspicious about how quiet it's been since we've haven't had anyone try to take over the world." said Rowen as he jumped away from Sage's attack.

"Actually I agree with Rowen, we never know when we're going to need them." answered Cye as he jumped back from Kaye.

"Fine then it's agreed, we'll bring our orbs to the tournament, but we don't use them unless it's absolutely necessary." said Ryo as he blocked Kento.

Everybody decided that it was time to take a break from thier training. They all walked over to the deck and sat down. "Hey Mia since you're up on what's happening during the tourney, what are the events that are going to take place?" asked Sage.

"Well there's a weapon's display, single kata, team kata, single sparring, and team sparring. The team kata has three people in it and the team sparring has two people on each team." explained Mia.

"Now that's what I'm talking about! I don' know about the rest of you, but I can't wait until tomorrow!" said Kento excitedly.

"Then we don't have much time to waste now do we? I guess that we better get back to training." said Ryo as he and the others got up from the deck and started back to their training.

Kitty's POV
=================================================================================================

Katie walked up the stairs to her porch. She had been out practicing all morning and afternoon and thought it was time to rest and eat dinner. She opened the door to her house and walked in. Something smelled really good and it was coming from the kitchen. She took off her shoes and walked into the kitchen. "Hey, mom what's for dinner?" Her aunt, who she called mom, turned around and smiled at her.

"Well, I kinda thought we could have a taco night tonight." She then turned back to the stove and continued cooking. "Tacos huh? Sounds good to me." She then turned and walked out of the kitchen. She sat down on the couch in the living room, grabbed the remote and turned on the TV.

"Lets see what's on tonight." She said as she scanned through the channels. It soon became obvious to her that there was nothing good on and she flipped the TV off.

"When's dinner going to be done?" She shouted to her aunt who was in the kitchen.

"In about a half hour." Her aunt shouted back. She sighed and laid down on the couch. The thoughts about tomorrow's tournament came back to her as she laid on the couch. She smiled thinking about how much fun she was going to have.

"If I'm lucky Mia's friends will be in the tournament too. I hope so, usually there's no one who's really a challenge to me." She thought out loud as she reached over and grabbed her Teen People magazine that was on the coffee table next to her. She sighed and started to flip through it.

"Its strange how I haven't sensed any kind of evil for a while." She frowned thinking of this. "I have a bad feeling about tomorrow. I hope its just a bad feeling and that it doesn't turn out to be what I think it is." She thought to herself.

"Come on katie time to eat." Her aunt said as she stood in the kitchen arch way.

"Yea, time to eat!" She put her magazine down and headed for the kitchen. Her aunt laughed and followed after her.

After dinner katie helped her aunt with the dishes and then went up stairs to her room. She opened the door, walked inside her room and then shut the door after her, she sighed and leaned against the door. She then closed her eyes and leaned her head back against the door. The quite, stillness of her room was peaceful, but was interrupted by the bright glowing of a lavender light coming from an odd looking 'marble' on her dresser. She groaned and opened her eyes. "Now what is it?" She said aloud as she walked over to her dresser and picked up the 'marble'.

She frowned as she looked at the 'marble' in her hand. "What is it? What are you trying to tell me?" She asked the marble. To her surprise it started to float out of her hand. She stared at the marble not sure what to do. It had only did this once before and that was the night before 'he' attacked. Then just as suddenly as it had started it quit glowing and dropped back onto her hand. She frowned knowing what it was telling her. "Danger, something's going to happen tomorrow at the tournament." She sighed knowing her fears were true.
