The Forgotten Empire
Chapter 1: old enemies and new Secrets
Huff… Huff. Kaoru was breathing deeply as she ran. She had no idea what she was running from but her body moved on its own. Her lungs were on fire but she did not stop. She felt like she was running in circles. "G-got to keep going can't stop I must find them. I must find them!" She said as every breath she took made a sharp pain in her lungs. Her mouth was moving on its own. Suddenly a dark shadow slummed over her.
"You can't get away. You are the key to the hidden Empire. You are a Rare Treasure and you will be mine!" The shadow taunted in a demonic voice. Kaoru couldn't move. She tried to run but when she looked at her legs they were frozen. Then she began sinking in blood! She struggled and began to cry. "No! No I won't die here I Refuse to die here!" Kaoru yells. The Shadow chuckles. "I am afraid my dear that you have no choice." Kaoru's eyes go wide as blood over takes her and she begins to scream.
"No. NOOOOOO!" She screams as her brother shakes her awake. "KAORU! WAKE UP!" Her brother screams as she jolts awake tears in her eyes. "W-What happened Kaoru? Are you ok?" Her brother asked this all rather quickly. She looked at him on the verge of tears. That dream was vivid and she was scared that- that thing radiated so much dark energy that it sent her to tears. He looked at her worried. It was rare of Kaoru to cry in fact she only cried twice in her life and that was when he had broken his arm and she was three and when her mother was murdered of course they didn't tell Kaoru that her mother was murdered they told her that she had a car ascendant and she died. Kaoru cried her eyes out. It was her 6th birthday the day her mother died and after that she never loved her birthdays.
He snapped out of his mind and looked at her. "Kaoru are you ok? You screamed." He said calmly. She looked at him and nodded her head. "Y-yea I'm ok. Sorry for waking you up." She replied weakly. He looked at her again. "Ok if you say so but if you had a nightmare or something is wrong tell me ok. I don't want my little sis scared of anything!" He said with a fake smirk to hide the fact that he knew she was lying. She smiled as she rubbed her eyes. "Aright! But I'm fine besides tough girls don't let little things bother them!" He laughed. "Whatever knuckle head! Oh and you should get up our little talk has made you late for school!" He exclaims laughing hard and running out the room as Kaoru toss pillows at him in rage.
Ten minutes later Kaoru was running across streets, dodging cars, and jumping over carts. When she finally made it to school the second hour bell was ringing. "Oh man!" She shouts as she runs into the building. She laughs to herself as she sees the eyes of shocked teens following her as she runs to her locker when she bumps into someone. "OUCH! WATCH IT!" She yells. No answer. "You should watch where you are going instead of running in the halls LOSER!" The male like voice growls. She looks up and is so shocked she almost falls down again. There right in front of her face is Brick Jojo. He has a red long sleeved shirt that is unbuttoned and shows his black tank top and his twelve pack. He has black jeans on with red flames on the side and he had black Jordan's on. Lastly he had on that Stupid red hat that was on backwards that covered hair that went to his thigh. She stood up quickly..
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A LOSER YOU FAGOT!" She screams. Brick blinks twice. "Have I seen you before? Your eyes look familiar." He asked as he looked into her eyes. Kaoru looked down to the floor to hide the tiny blush she was having. "What?" She asked herself. Brick blinked again and then remembered the yelling they were doing and got mad. "WHO ARE YOU CALLING FAGOT GOTH WANNABE!" He yelled. Kaoru looked up death in her glare. Brick flinched. "WHO ARE YOU CALLING GOTH WANNABE YOU EMO, GAY PERVERT OF A BOY!" She yelled at the top of her lungs that a crowd was forming.
Brick was twitching from anger. "YOU WANNA FIGHT! BRING IT ON GIRLY! YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHO YOU ARE MESSING WITH!" He growled loudly. The whole crowd stepped back a few feet when they saw the young rebel's anger. She glared at the long haired red headed boy. Her hands were in a fist. Her eyes and her aura glowed green. The earth began to rumble. Brick stared at her. She had on a green and black tank top with a choke chain with spikes on her neck she had bandage wrappings on both of her wrist with two spiked gloves on each hand. Making her look tough and ruff. She also had black baggy jeans with two gray chains on them. Lastly was her hair it was short and spunky and down to her chin and when he looked into her gem green eyes he saw pure hate. All together she looked sixteen the same age as him and his brothers but she had a C-cup which was shocking for her age.
He stopped staring at her. "DON'T… EVER… CALL.. ME GIRLY!" The earth shook with her every syllable. He was shocked. The earth cracked with her rage and wind raged harshly. It was clear that this girl was not normal. "I hope you know what you got yourself into FAGOT! Because there is only three ways you will get out of it." She growled her eyes burning with green flames. He looked at her with a mixture of confusion and fear. She sigh lazy. "One: You die. Two: I die. Or Three: My friends come to save your ass!" She smirked evilly. "And I hope its number one!"
Suddenly with one rumble she was gone only leaving a flash of green light. He looked around but he could not find or see her until she appeared in front of him. He sung on her and shocking she took the punch and smiled as she spat out a tiny dab of blood. "Wow I'm surprised not many normal people can make me draw blood." She smirked. "Well your not exactly normal are you ROWDY RUFF BOYZ?" She said there name long and taunting. Brick grinned his teeth. "HOW IN THE HELL DID YOU FIND THAT OUT!" He shouted.
She laughed. "That was easy Brickie! Your name and your outfit along with your girly hair says it all!" Kaoru laughs again as Brick tries to punch her. "I don't know how you found out because only a-" His eyes got wide and Kaoru taps her head smiling. "Finally figured it out. God it took you long enough! But now that you found out I am going to have to put you in a 14 year coma!" She shouts as she slams Brick to the wall making him spit out huge chunks of blood. His vision became blurry and he felt weak when suddenly he heard: Hyper Blossom!, Rolling Bubbles!, Angered Butch!, Explosive Boomer!
Two rays of Light blue and Light pink came and held Kaoru back while two Dark blue and Dark green lights helped Brick up. "Brick are you ok?" Boomer asked tears in his eyes at seeing his older brother spit out so much blood. Brick smirked at seeing his little brother's concern. "Once he knows I am ok he lives up to his name!" Brick thought chuckling. "Y-Yea I'm fine." He says weakly. Boomer nods as he and Butch growl at Kaoru. "THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM!" Butch asked glaring daggers at the girl in which she gladly returned. "Kaoru-Chan calm down!" Bubbles said franticly as She tried to keep a hold on Kaoru who was trying her best to get away and kill all three boys. "LET ME GO! THAT FAGGOT HAS GOT TO DIE! HE KNOWS OUR SECRET!" She Wales. The two girls pale. "H-HE WHAT!" Blossom exclaims. She looks at Bubbles and they nods there heads as they let go of Kaoru. She smiles.
"Its no use hiding it BRICKIE! You want a fight and I will give you one!" Kaoru shouts as her Ppgz Belt glows. She picks it up and was about to transform when brick shouted something he should never have said. "DON'T CALL ME BRICKIE! YOU HOMELESS MOTHERLESS EMO OF A GIRL!" Kaoru froze and Bubbles and Blossom glared at Brick. Kaoru looked at the ground her fist clench so hard that they were pale. The boys smiled thinking that they won this argument.
That is until the earth began to shake and windows broke and it began to rain. "Don't…" Kaoru began saying as more windows broke and the school bell fell off the ceiling forgotten. "Don't you.." Kaoru said slowly as the earth cracked even more by now the kids ran into the class rooms calling their parents and the teachers were calling the principal. The Rrbz had to float in the air to escape the huge gapes of earth cracking every where. "DON'T YOU EVER SAY I'M MOTHERLESS!" Kaoru yelled at the top of her lungs. "Her green light is dangerous!" Bubbles yelped. "What the-" Brick shouted. Blossom looked at Kaoru. All around her the earth was braking. Kaoru was engulfed by a green light what was quickly becoming black.
Her normal outfit that she had on was disappearing and in its place was a beautiful midnight dress that looked as if a bride would put it on for her wedding. It was long and elegant with purple rose petals on the sides. Kaoru's chin length hair that was a fading black became jet black and so long that it was past her knees with a cute bang that had purple rose petals sued into it. A purple and black rose with thorns in her hands. Her eyes were closed and when she opened them her eyes were onyx black and a pure black fire was around her.
She whispered words that make the Rrbz tremble and Ppgz eyes water. "Shadows Forbidden Rose." The Rrbz looked at her shocked that this was Buttercup shocked that this was Kaoru. "She is beautiful but this aura was completely dark and more evil than HIM could ever wish to be." Brick mumbled. Suddenly Blossom and Bubbles charged at Kaoru. "AYAME STOP!" Bubbles yelled as she attacked. "BUBBLES LOVELY CHAMPAGNE!" She shouted. Kaoru or Ayame smiled sweetly and dodged it. "Die!" She shouted as a purple ball of light formed at the rose and shout out at Bubbles making her fall into three doors. "BUBBLES!" Blossom screamed. "ICE CREAM FROZEN SHOT!" She screamed. Ayame dodged it and Blossom tackled her to the floor with a THUD. "Bubbles now!" She yelled Bubbles got up and attacked but Ayame pushed Blossom off of her and began to cry. "D-DASKUE THERE HURTING ME! MAKE IT STOP PLEASE!" Black tears ran down her face as she screamed.
Bubbles and Blossom turned sheet white. "E-Everyone Get down Now!" Blossom ordered to The Rrbz. They got down. "Now cover your head and think of your happy place!" She ordered. They glared but did as she said. Seconds later the earth rumbled. Boomer looked up and paled. There right in front of him was powerful red and black lighting. Then someone appeared. He was a bit taller than Kaoru and he had red brownish hair he also had on a black leather outfit but his eyes were storm gray dark and cold. He looked at Kaoru and then glared at us. "Ayame what did they do? Did they hurt you." He asked softly. Kaoru or Ayame looked up. "Daskue!" She Wales as she hugged him crying harder.
He pat her head. "Its ok I will make sure they won't hurt you anymore if that's what you want." He said smiling. "No Daskue. Y-You have t-to be nice to them. If you don't then I won't forgive you." She said between sobs. He looked at her and smiled as he lifted her head. "You are to nice Ayame. But the hidden Demon and angel within you are fighting causing you to lose yourself." He patted her head as she looked at him confused. "You will return home Ayame and you will know who you are but you must rest." And with that red lighting shot out of his hand and into her neck causing her to pass out. He smiled and walked toward us. Butch glared at him and He laughed. Suddenly he glared at Butch his eyes turned from storm gray to crimson red. "Watch it BOY! The only reason your not dead right now is because she asked me to spare you." He hissed.
Butch sweat dropped and looked away. He walked to Bubbles and Blossom who by now turned back into Momoko and Miyako. "Here take her." He said smiling at Miyako who smiled back. Momoko looked at him. "Why is this happening and who are you?" She asked. He smiled. "Miyako can figure it out ok. Besides this happened before don't you remember?" He asked. Miyako looked at Momoko and they both looked at the ground crying softly. "Yes I-it did happened b-before. But why is this happening to her? What's going on?" She demands between huge sobs.
He ruffed both of their hair which sent light shocks to them. "You will find out in do time but for now protect her and do not tell her what happens. This must be kept a secret understand?" He said standing up. They nodded their heads and he smiled. Then he walked to the Rrbz. He glared. "Pay attention because I am only going to say this once." They looked at him. "If anything happens to Miyako and Kaoru I will get you and eat you and feed your bones to my crows understand?" He asked raising an eyebrow.
They nodded there heads so fast they felt dizzy. "Good. Also no one is to know what happened here and if you tell Kaoru about this I will kill you and no one is to know about theses girls being the Ppgz." He said calmly. The boys nodded once again and he smiled. "I will be back Oh and Momoko." She looks at him. "If you know what's good for you… Stay away from Kaoru! You are not in this prophecy."
Then he vanishes in black lighting. The boys glare at the girls. Boomer loses his temper. "THE HELL! THIS IS YOUR FRIENDS FAULT WHY IN THE HELL ARE WE DRAGGED INTO THIS ITS NOT FAIR!" Momoko snickers. "Oh really Boomer? Because when he was here you didn't have anything to say. In fact I think you were so pale you looked like a ghost!" Boomer growls. "Your not one to talk! You looked like you were about to faint!" He shouts. "WE HAVE A GOOD REASON TO FAINT! YOU DIDN'T SEE WHAT WE SAW! YOU DIDN'T SEE WHAT HE OR SHE COULD REALLY DO!" Bubbles yelled on the verge of tears. Every one is quiet. Boomer is about to ask when the principal ran in and saw the battered students and a passed out Kaoru who was back to her original form.
"Oh my! Are you children ok? How in the world did you survive the earthquake?" She asked. The girls and the boys looked at each other. "We would have died if Kaoru didn't flip us on the floor. We still got hit but not as bad as her. She got trapped by the roof and suffocated but we dug her out she was bleeding we fixed some wounds but we need to get out of here." Brick said as her earned some shocked looks from his brothers the girls and the principal.
She wasted no time. She called 911 and all the kids were tied down in an ambulance. The students that were not harmed had to call there parents to pick them up. At the hospital the Rrbz were out in no time along with Miyako and Momoko the only on still in the ER was Kaoru. Suddenly the hospital door busted open. "WHERE IS SHE? WHERE IS MY SISTER KAORU! SO HELP ME IF I HAVE TO RIP THIS PLACE APART ONE BY ONE EVERYONE HERE WILL BE SORRY!" Samuel hissed angrily as his dad tried to hold him back. Butch yelled at him. "Dude this is a Hospital! Calm down!"
Samuel glared at him. "JUST SHUT UP! YOU WOULDN'T KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO THINK YOU LOST YOUR ONLY SISTER!" He shouted tears in his eyes. Miyako walked to him. "Its ok. She will pull though after all she is the tough girl!" She exclaimed making a laugh come from Samuel and his father. Momoko smiled. "We could take you to her room if you like!" She said happily. Samuel jumped whooped and hugged her. "Aright lets go!" He ran to Kaoru's room.
They walked in and tears were in his eyes when he saw her in the bed breathing from a machine. "K-Kaoru." He said weakly as he sat in a chair by her bed. Miyako tried to cheer him up. "Don't worry Kaoru is hard headed she won't give up!" He smiled weakly. "I know but I lost my mother and I don't want to lose her to." Miyako smiled weakly then Kaoru's IV stared beeping: Beeeeeeep Beeeeep! They looked around and Miyako screamed for the nurse. "SOMEONE GET A NURSE SOMETHING IS HAPPENING TO KAORU!" She yelled. Samuel looked like he was going to cry. The nurses walked in and Kaoru's IV broke. Glass went in all direction. Her Medicine stopped and it broke in half. "What's going on? This has never happed to a patent before!" A nurse exclaimed. "I am sorry but you have to leave!" Another nurse told Samuel and Miyako as she pushed them out the room. Samuel stood by the door and shouted something that woke Kaoru up. "WAKE UP ONCEE-CHAN!" Kaoru bolted right up and stared yelling. "SAMUEL! WOULD YOU SHUT UP! SOME PEOPLE WOULD LIKE TO SLEEP!" She says rasping her fist. Everyone in the room sweat dropped. "How? What?" The nurse asked confused then she fainted. "Quick while they aren't paying attention lets go!" Miyako yelps dragging Kaoru and Samuel out the room.
They stop in the hallway where the Rrbz and Momoko are. "Kaoru your awake!" Momoko says jumping on Kaoru who twisted her face in pain. "I might be awake but I am not healed!" She yelps as Momoko gets off of her. "S-Sorry! I was just really worried!" She exclaims blushing. Kaoru laughs. "Its ok Red! I am fine and I understand." She says rubbing the back of her head. Momoko looks at her irritated. "Why do you call me Red? I don't call you Green!" Kaoru giggles. "Its easier to remember and it suits you." Miyako laughs. "Oh oh call me Blue, Momoko Red and we will both call you Green!" She says jumping up and down. Everyone sweat dropped. Kaoru looked around and finally notice the Rrbz. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" She shouted. Butch chuckles, Boomer backs away and Brick growls. "IS THAT ANYWAY TO THANK SOMEONE WHO HAD SAVED YOUR LIFE!" He shouts.
"NO BUT IT'S A WAY TO THANK SOMEONE WHO TOLD ME I WAS MOTHERLESS!" She hissed back. Then she takes a breath. "I don't even know what happened after you called me motherless… I must have gotten beat." She huffs. Momoko burst out laughing. "P-Please K-kaoru! You beat him so bad he almost fainted!" She says between giggles. "I-If we didn't show up when we did he would be dead right now!" Kaoru raised an eyebrow. "Really? Well what did I do? What happened?" She asked. Everyone got quiet.
